NAICS: 488 Support Activities for Transportation Description: Premier intermodal and quality services |
| Well I decided as a young man while going to school to cease an opportunity I was given to work in the railroad in Los Angeles and I really enjoyed this industry and once I left the railroad and decided to look for something similar I realized that transportation was something that I wanted to do and I felt it was in my blood and I wanted to succeed. My goal within the industry was not so much personal but at this point of my career it is to be certain that I can teach and walk away from the workplace knowing I gave everything I had and I was hopefully able to help someone and teach somebody something they didn’t have before. |

NAICS: 311 Food Manufacturing Description: Ice Cream shop |
| I have been in this business for over 5 years as a normal employee however a couple years ago my father and I decided to buy into this business and run it ourselves. My initial goal was to see this business thrive and do very well and be a great place for people all around to come and buy our products and spread the word, however it definitely has been a challenge as most businesses are these days. I have always had a fond love of ice cream so being in this business and getting to share my love for it has been an amazing journey. My initial goals that were set was to see this business thrive and become a great local ice cream shop that everyone would love to go too and those goals are still aspiring and in progress but in hindsight that was essentially my goal from the very beginning. |

NAICS: 236 Construction of Buildings Description: commercial, renovation, painting |
| My father owns a painting business, so ever since I was little I would help my father here and there when I could but once I grew old enough to have a job I would help my father as an after school job. They say school is not for everyone and I had always struggled with school, so after I graduated from high school I didn’t feel school was for me so I decided to follow into my fathers footsteps and learn everything from him to have my own business and took the risk in opening my own construction business. |

NAICS: 423 Merchant Wholesalers, Durable Goods Description: Recycling Plant |
| My father has worked in the metal recycling industry for about fifteen years. I remember going with him when I was younger and being amazed by the machinery crushing the metals and thinking how “cool” it seemed once everything (the thrash) was compressed into a huge square. Four years ago we decided to partner up with another recycling place and become an exporting company. Unfortunately, that partnership did not work out and we realized we were better off on our own. Our initial goal after that was to recover our lost clientele and start building our company from zero again. |

My initial goal was to make money, no specific job I was seeking, only something that made me money. |
