Analysis
Paul Beckmann- A Man Who Has Impacted the Lives of Many I came into this class not understanding the meaning of entrepreneurship. I thought it was just a simple way to make a business and make a quick buck in the long run. I wasn’t sure if it was the experience I was looking for and I wanted more than what my major offered me.
