As most of the students in management 3120 if not all of the students, are under 30 years old and eager to succeed in the business world, our panel presentation of entrepreneurs under 30 was a very relevant concept. Success and success under age 30 is something people everywhere dream about and strive to achieve. Finding the courage, uncovering the passion, and going for ones dreams are the elements of success and are concepts of value to any achiever in the business world and in life. The five speakers of our panel were young, talented, and driven, entrepreneurs. However, what made our panel presentation concept so tangible and moving was that these entrepreneurs were not so different than the ladies and gentlemen sitting in our classroom. The differences and way they achieved their success lay in the key messages brought home by each one of them.

Russ Marshalek a gentleman who maintains his own PR, marketing and consulting firm was quoted saying how important passion was in business. “ Do something you would do for free.” The value of this message is profound, as working for the mere enjoyment and love for what one does can surely guarantee success.

Michael Pomposello, a 20-year-old online marketing professional stated a very key point in realizing ones own potential. He said, “ take yourself seriously and others will too. “ At 20 years old this gentleman has found success and respect because he takes himself seriously, so everyone else does as well.

Philip Bjerkness a partner at a NYC creative agency drove home the point of taking risks and sacrificing oneself to succeed. He also spoke of the value of packaging what you create whether it may be a company or a product, and how what you create is unique and special.

Yoni Goldberg a partner at DGI Management spoke of passion and how passion about an idea can cause one to execute this idea in a unique way. He also spoke of the belief in oneself that is necessary to succeed.  He mentioned that, “ as you get older skill set changes, and it is important to recognize that.”

David Kuliyev whose passion lay in electronics from the young age of 8 years old spoke of consistency and quality, and how to never sacrifice quality. David does what he loves and makes sure he does it correctly and that is something we can all learn from.
