And You Could Too!

John started out just like every other business student- In a classroom dreaming about one day owning his own company. In one of his entrepreneurship classes he decided to work on a mobile app that would connect students to time-sensitive discounts in their area. He soon realized that this idea wasn’t working for him, and he was face with two choices; Quit or pivot. Most people would run into this challenge and walk away from the venture, but not Barton. He pivoted and tried to create an app that connected students with wholesome entertainment in their areas, but soon realized this wasn’t going to work either. For the second time he was faced with the same choices; Quit or Pivot.
