Entrepreneurship Story
Right at the beginning of High School me and my brother created our own Landscaping business. The company was called Arcuri Cousins Landscaping because the majority of my cousins also helped with our business. We started out going door to door asking our fellow neighbors if they wanted us to maintain their lawn and any other maintenance that they need. We started with a few houses based on sending out flyers and stuff and ended up with around 15 houses to mow and weed whack every week. Although this wasn't that much it still taught me how to run a business a little. Originally when we started we would just take all the profit and split into how many guys were working at the time but over the years we learned to put some away or advertise with some of it by buying shirts and more business cards to add on to our customers. Not only did we just cut and maintain lawns but we would also hedge bushes, mulch, and when the winter came around we would snow blow and snow shovel. the reason why I took this class was to see if I had the traits to be an entrepreneur in the future but to also learn more about.

Hey Nicholas!
ReplyDeleteI think your emerging business as a high school is super inspirational to some other young aspiring entrepreneurs. It sounds like you and your cousins are extremely dedicated and took a lot of time to think this through. Even the way you changed your business revenue structure to changing the budgeting system was a great idea to make for a profitable business!
Hello. You have a very interesting story. Working on 15 houses is definitely no small feat, so you should feel accomplished for that. I think it's impressive you were able to run a successful business at an age when most people have never done anything like that, and it gave you experience that will help you succeed in the future. I also agree that this course can provide some insight into our entrepreneurship skills. Overall, I enjoyed your post and do not have any critique.
ReplyDeleteHey Nick, this is a very interesting post! I have been in the landscaping industry for a handful of years myself and think that your story is very intriguing. I am very impressed that your company was able to grow that much in such a short period of time. Hopefully you can keep growing the company and make a lot more money from it. Keep up the good work, I am impressed with your content!
