The Business Club at Lethbridge College had a young entrepreneur visit them recently.

A graduate of the University of Lethbridge with a bachelor of management, Tyler Martineau has done well since he graduated in 2003.

Since graduation, Martineau has become senior partner and listing specialist for Tyler Martineau and Associates here in Lethbridge.

Martineau received “Rookie of the Year” in 2004 for real estate and since 2006 has run the top team for RE/MAX in Lethbridge and area.

He spoke on how encouragement from those around you can help better your life and don’t give up any opportunity you are given.

“I was pointed in two different directions; real estate and the other one was life insurance… I played in a pro-am in the fall with a very successful real estate individual… I had a week to pick his brain,” said Martineau.

He has listened to those around you who are successful and take what they say and put it to use, everything that they tell you can be used to help you succeed.

Bringing in guest speakers isn’t the only thing that the Business Club does.

They also bring work with the Lethbridge and District Chamber of Commerce, attend career fairs, fundraise and volunteer.

The mission of the Business Club is to help students network with a diverse group of people. This will be accomplished through various activities and events. This is stated on their Facebook page.

The current president of the Business Club is Nathan Lekhi, and vice president is Lauren Machacek.
