My Entrepreneurship Story

The entrepreneur that I want to talk about is my Uncle Larry. When he was about 19 years old, he worked for someone else repairing equipment. His dream was to own his own company selling and repairing HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). He had to learn a lot along the way, but he was willing to take the risk to own his own business. He started with nothing, but he believed that his hard work would pay off in the long run. Larry Tronu became the owner of Climate Control Contractors Inc. in 1977, and he owned the company for 35 years. Today, his son is now running the company. He knew from a young age he was good with hands on work. He believed in himself, his people skills, and his ability to generate results. He wanted his company to be committed to quality construction in a safe environment. He always said that he believed in faith first, family second, and HVAC third. He is an inspiration to me. I admire his work ethic and his ability to believe in himself.

I enrolled in ENT 3003 because it seemed like a great learning environment. I want to push myself to develop the mindset of an entrepreneur. I want to believe in my own ideas and the ideas of others. I hope to experience growth as a student and an entrepreneur.
