Tell us a little bit about yourself and your entrepreneurial journey.
I used to be a store retail manager. When I had my children, I knew I wanted to stay at home to be with them but I also wanted to stay busy and to supplement my husband’s teacher salary. I discovered blogging and social media and I have really enjoyed it out as an expressive outlet.
How did you fund your business?
On a shoestring! I just went with the smallest outlay possible to see if I could make it work! I am reinvesting as I go.
What did you do before launching your own business?
I graduated from Tulane University with a major in Biology and a minor in Economics. I accidently ended up in retail management and I loved it. I loved the people interaction and the constant sense of urgency. I loved setting goals and motivating my staff to reach them. I liked be good at what I did!
How many hours do you work a week and how much is spent is your home office?
My home office is my couch and it is hard to say because I am always jumping on the computer but I guess maybe 20 hours.
How would you rate your success?
I would say I have been very successful for my first year but I still have a long way to go to reach my goals!
What has been your biggest business struggle as an entrepreneur?
Getting the time and money to do things as well as I want them done!
What advice would you give to a new entrepreneur?
It is a lot of work but if you love reaching your goals, you will love the work. Give it some thought but go for it and learn as you go!
How do you manage all of your personal and business activities?
I try to get my business activities out of the way before noon and have the rest of the day to play with my kids, cook dinner, clean, and spend time with my husband.
