How important were mentors in your entrepreneurial career?
ОглавлениеWell, I can’t say I had any that were directly for entrepreneurship. I had a boss, Barbara Williams, who had a huge positive influence on me. She was classy, she knew her stuff, and she was not a micromanager. She taught me about the importance of how you present yourself in a business setting. There were a LOT of examples of how NOT to present yourself in business that we worked around.
I also have a client now whose husband took over a business and sold it off recently, so I had the chance to talk to him about his business. I’ve also been connected through them to their interior designer in Miami, so I guess, now that I think about it, I’ve had more mentors in the past 3-6 months on how to operate a business than I’ve ever had.
