The person I chose to interview for my essay was Saida Omari the owner business of Al- Omari Fashion. Al-Omari Fashion is a store that specializes in sales of Islamic fashion for both genders. The store, located in Bridgeview in Illinois. Although Al-Omari Fashion small store compared with competitors, but it's steadily growing gain a large variety of customers and moving into an unexpected direction.

“A big part of the business is personally wise and contacts,” Saida said. The long-term goals she has for her business is to make more branches of the store. The ethics important to business success because ethics a moral judgement about right and wrong, so her store related to religion by selling Islamic clothes for all genders and that’s made her business successful. The advantages of being self-employed are paying yourself, no boss, and own times. On the other hand, the disadvantages of being self-employed are long hours and no breaks. The personal skills and characteristics she does think business owners need to be successful are likable, talkative, people person, and business person. If Saida starts her business today, she would do differently to have real employees rather than her children because her children want to move to their own business. Saida advice was “never open a business with a partner and don’t take loans to start the business because it will stay with you forever”.

When Saida starts her business at a young age, she was able to develop her business. Saida already has the experience in a business from her father. For that reason, she become a successful person in the business. I think the important things to start the business is doing what you love as Omari did. He loves to transfer the Islamic fashion to America and that makes his business to accomplish. Also, when a person wants to open a business, he/she should have a knowledge and managed to handle his/her own business. In a business, everyone should have a manger to reach them in the right way.

    For my interview I decided to pick the owner of the company I work for. The owner’s name is J. Kent McNew and he is the owner of Eastern Petroleum Corporation. The company is a petroleum distributor of gasoline primarily through gas station outlets. Eastern Petroleum Corporation is a Maryland corporation and its corporate office is located in Annapolis, MD. Mr. McNew sells products in MD, VA, DC, and some in DE. The scope of the business is done in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States. Eastern Petroleum is an S-Chapter corporation, which means S Corporations do not pay any income taxes. Instead, the corporation 's income or losses are divided among and passed through to its shareholders. The shareholders must then report the income or loss on their own individual income tax returns. Mr. Kent said that he’s always had an entrepreneur spirit and it started way back when he was in grade school. He stated in his school each class had to sell garden seeds and he always sold the most in his class, so that inspired him to go into business. He worked for Hess Oil Company while attending the University of Richmond, realizing while selling products to his customers he wanted to go into business for himself. So he started the company called “Eastern Petroleum Corporation”. To come up with the corporation’s name he sat down with a legal pad and just wrote down different names that came to mind. He didn’t want to name the company after himself because his father had a company called the McNew Brothers, and since he was based on the East coast he came up with Eastern Petroleum Corporation. Mr. McNew also came up with a company color which is yellow, because he wanted everyone to see the gasoline trucks on the road and he knew yellow would draw people’s attention. While talking with Mr. Kent he stated some of the advantages of being a corporation compared to…

    The person I chose to interview is the owner of the company at my current place of work. Larry Godwin is the owner of Godwin Company, Inc, which is a forklift and golf car sales, and service company. Larry worked on his family farm growing up in Arkansas after leaving school in the fourth grade and then moved to Indianapolis when he was 18 years old and began working for a fan company. He got an opportunity for an apprenticeship position at a tool and die company doing mainly forklift repairs. After that he went to work for Westinghouse, rebuilding electrical equipment, doing machine work, and maintaining their forklifts. He then decided to work for Kidney-Wood, a tow motor distributor, where he was a road technician for one year, he was then promoted to Service Manager. After working in that position for 10 years, he saved $4,000.00 by working overtime on evening and weekends so he could start his own business, that business is now a profitable company. I think it’s important to point out that he did this with only a fourth grade level education.
