Can an 11-student middle school classroom become a small entrepreneurial business?
Time will tell.
The idea appeared last night.

We are born as natural entrepreneurs
All humans are born entrepreneurs. And this has been so all the way back to the beginning when we lived in caves.
We were – and still are – the owners of our existence and had to find entrepreneurially creative ways to survive each day.
Being an entrepreneur is not something reserved for special or talented people.
It’s reserved for anyone wanting to upgrade their cave.

A life lesson from a cab driver?
He had no money when he arrived in 1973, just a piece of paper (a passport-like travel document). No relatives, no friends, didn’t speak English.
What got our conversation started was him asking me what I do for a living. Professional speaker, here yesterday to teach Creativity and Innovation at Corporate College to the regional business community.
He has always been self-employed. Gas stations, shipping, transportation, etc. But in 2008, the EPA fined him $400,000. He went to get a loan from his long-time banker. The banker’s hands were tied. It was 2008 and the world’s economic walls were crumbling.
Eventually he paid an environmental lawyer $40,000 and then paid the EPA $10k instead of $400k.
In this same time period, he discovered his wife was seeing someone else. They divorced.
He thinks people who complain about trivial things are a joke.
Shared a smile, thanked him and told him it was a great blessing to meet him.
