The author's parents owned three hotels, but after the father's death, the mother sold two, focusing on one, successfully expanding it. The author initially chose engineering for financial promise but later felt a pull toward entrepreneurship. Interest in entering the family hotel business grew after college, but tragedy struck when the hotel burned down. Family dynamics shifted as siblings pursued different careers, with the author reflecting on the missed opportunities for mentorship but finding guidance from Uncle Ken, who succeeded in paper distribution.
My mother, after selling two of her three hotels, heavily invested in the remaining one, expanding its offerings and increasing its popularity among patrons.
Despite being successful in the hotel business, my mother never shared her knowledge or experience with me, keeping business discussions minimal and private.
While my siblings pursued different paths, I found my entrepreneurial desire during college, pondering the late family's hotel business after a series of personal explorations.
Uncle Ken became a mentor to me in business, showcasing success with his paper distribution business, reinforcing the idea of entrepreneurship in my journey.
