How did your awesome business come to be?
After being a stay at home mom for 13 years I was ready to do something for myself, I dabbled in a few MLM companies to keep me happy for a little while. One day I saw these adorable clutches that an acquaintance was making. I reached out to see if she wanted to go into business together and she said No thank you and I decided not to pursue it further because I couldn't do it without her. A few weeks later I woke up and decided I could do it without her and here we are a little over a year later and we have added a fun line of women's clothing.
Who inspired you to pursue entrepreneurship?
My amazing serial entrepreneur Dad.
Have you ever had a mentor? And how did they help you?
A few, but Hilary has made the most impact on my business. She gave me just the perfect little nudge I needed, someone who believed in me.
How do you define success for yourself?
Success for me is the confidence to know that I deserve all that I have worked for.
What is a recent success that you're super proud of accomplishing?
Winning the Cohort 9 Pitch Contest for Dalton and Sur.
What is your superpower?
Wish it was Hyper Organized but I will say Perseverance.
What is the least sexy part of your job?
Sales Tax
What do you hope to learn from this community of your peers (ie. Hatch Tribe Members Circle)?
I have already learned so much from this amazing Tribe already. One thing I still struggle with is how to juggle it all. That it is OK to put myself and my work before family and laundry sometimes, really hard when coming from being a stay at home mom of 3. The permission to be happy that I am enjoying my work.
