Success Stories and experiences of Business Women that we all can relate to and learn from.
Did you always want to be a Business Woman?
Being a business women was in my blood many moons ago! I have been a business women since I can remember lol. I have always worked for myself and had the entreprenuer spirit!
How would you describe your experience as a Black Entrepreneur?
I would describe my experience as a black entreprenuer as Pinktastic! I haven't been faced with lots of ups and downs in the business world. People have always had open arms for me. I think my communication skills and personality has really payed off for me.
Looking back on your business decisions, is there anything that you would have done differently?
Looking back on my decisions in business, I would have started my career in tv a long time ago lol. But not really, now that I think about it, I wouldn't change a thing because now I have more wisdom. I am also able to read people a little bit better, really understand what they are trying to say and do.
Did you have any formal business training? Do you think this is important to be successful?
Yes, I do have formal business training. I have a degree in Business Mgt/Public Relations. I also have a certification in TV Production. I really do value education and I do think its very important to have to be successful. In todays society though, I don't know if it will help you too much now.Things change with the speed of light. They want "the best" person for the job, but don't want to pay you anything. It's sad but true.
How has family/friend support financially or otherwise affected your business efforts?
My immediate family has supported my business from day one. When I was having dreams of doing a talk show, others thought I was crazy, but not my family. My husband loved every minute of it and paid for everything I needed! He even took classes with me and still does today to make sure if someone can't do something he can be my backup! My kids help out too! I love my family for that!
How do you work on making your business grow?
I work on making my business grow by networking and staying professional. Hitting the pavement, internet, girls nite outs,publications,radio,tv,mixers, shoot wherever people are, I try to tell them about my show.I'm my biggest promoter.
What words of wisdom can you share with other business women?
Always keep every business card you get, you may need it one day! Treat everyone with respect! I dont care if its a janitor! That janitor may be able to get you in a back door one day! Toodles!!!
