My name is Zach McKenzie and I am from Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. At the moment I am a Sport Management major. I love watching and playing sports, especially basketball. I was captain of my high school team senior year. I am interested in working for Nike corporate in the marketing department. I gained this interest when by taking Marketing for two years in high school. I like figuring out new ideas for marketing that no one has thought of before. I also like working with athletes finding out what works for them in a product and what does not. Getting input and improving on those product. This is what the marketing department for Nike does. I feel that I would up lift Nike and help them improve their relationship with athletes. I have also thought about running a business with my father. We do not know exactly what the business is going to be right this momment, but we are constantly thinking of ideas. It is only a matter of time until we think of something that no one else has thought of. We are determined to created a successful company from the ground up. I have constantly been thinking of what I am going to do this summer that will benefit me in the future. I am strongly considering Men's Warehouse due to the number of encounters I have had with them. I got them to come and do a "Dress for Success" workshop at my high school last year. I also had the opportunity meet and have a conversation with George Zimmerman's assistant at DECA nationals. I have considered working for Nike in a Retail store this summer as well.When I looked at the list of America's Best Young Entrepreneurs I saw that there were many entrepreneurs with successful ideas, but there was one that I found catching. Mike Zhang is twenty one and sells recreational airsoft guns and gear online. Mike is inspiring because he wanted to cut the price of airsoft guns from $400 to $150. I found it fascinating how Mike started his business. He convinced his parents to buy a container of airsoft product and began selling it online. Dropping out of college to run his business full time was a big risk but thats what it tasks sometimes to be successful and I can most certainly say Mike Zhang is very successful. To prove it he was projected to bring in over 10 million in revenue in 2011.
Zach, I liked how you said that you love to play basketball. I too like basketball a lot and played it in my early childhood. I think its great that you want to work for Nike that is a big corporation and would be an excellent decision for you to make for your future. I also thought that the Entrepreneur that you chose was really interesting. Its awesome to see people trying to give back and also do it with something that they love. By seeing such a young person start theyre own business it shows that we can do that one day to. I like the fact that he started off small and will soon grow very large. This guy shows you that hard work can pay off in the long run and really expand your interests for certain things. Overall I really liked your blog and what was said in it.
