Very short Interview no 2

From the first interview I had with Mr. Zullo, it showed me how hard work and determination can help you to achieve anything. My first interview showed me that it is not really what you know from the start, but how much you learn on the way.  When I went back to interview Mr. Zullo again, I asked him the following questions.

These questions were inspired by assignments we have had in this class and I wanted to know some of the answers to them from someone who has been through an entrepreneurial experience.
         Question 1: In the next five or 10 years where do you see yourself and your business?
          In the next 5-10 years I see myself running American Retrofits and at least one other company. I see myself implementing what I have learned with this business into new ventures while still maintaining this business.


Question 2: If the opportunity arose to where you were given the option to sell your business for enough money to keep you financially stable for the remainder of your life, would you accept the offer?
         Yes I would accept the offer because I would be set for life and I would obviously just start another business
Question 3: The day you started your business would you have expected to be where you are today? Or did you expect to be less or more successful than you currently are

3. The day I started I didn't exactly envision all of this in just one day. The first day I started this business I started learning from every experience. It's like a science experiment a lot of things will happen good and bad and it's all about how you react to them. After I had a couple customers I already knew I loved what I was doing and I knew I could keep doing it because how large the market was and still is. I basically just mapped out steps and did one after the other to make sure that I got to where I am now. So if you asked me if I knew whether or not I would have gotten to this place I would tell you I knew the whole timeMy business would succeed at a great level but I would also say that actions speak louder than words. Just saying that I could sit and talk about where I think I'm gonna be in 5 years. Or I could start working hard everyday and get there.

  1. Hi Zack!

    I enjoyed how you tooks key ideas and aspects we have learned from the course and used them as your questions! I took a more personal route with my questions because I view a venture as something that reflects into peoples personal lives as well! Great job!

  2. Great post, Zachary. I really liked how everything came full circle with regard to the themes of your interviews. It’s great that you were able to apply lessons learned from these assignments to your interview and learn more based on the feedback received. It seems that you took this interview and this class seriously.
