Philip Hartman became an entrepreneur at the young age of 8. Like Mr. Sweet said in class, he likes to “play”. He has the mindset of an inventor; always looking to build something bigger and better. At the age of 15, Philip built a system that could a windshield within 15 seconds. His second invention was a system that could fuse optical fibers in a much cheaper and more dependable way.
It just goes to show you that inventions don’t happen right away, but if you keep striving towards your goals anything can be achieved. It is cool to see Philip using his “play” time to start his own business.
Ben, I like how you not only focused on the results of Hartman’s entrepreneurial endeavors, but also mentioned the fact that he liked to “play” and that this quality was not a hinderance to his work. I agree that this is definitely something worth taking to heart, like you mentioned in your conclusion.
This post was interesting. Philip has quite an inspirational story of how he created this situation for himself. He was committed to his ideas at such a young age. Its obvious that they only came to be because of his hard work and devotion over years of his idea.
