What Sacrifices Have You Made To Become An Entrepreneur?

Becoming an entrepreneur requires taking risks outside of a normal comfort zone. There aren’t any safety nets or large corporations to fall back on. It requires an iron stomach, thick skin, and undivided attention. But the most important element of being an entrepreneur is to always put your customers and your team first, way before yourself because, without either one of them, your entrepreneurial pursuits will fail. At all costs, always take care of your customers and your team.

How Are You Marketing Your Business

Throughout my entrepreneurial years and endeavors, I have always relied on a strong reputation, word of mouth, and customer endorsements so that when a targeted or even mass-market ad is seen, it comes back to some relevance of credibility.

What Have Been Your Most Satisfying Moments In Business?

There is NOTHING more satisfying in business than a customer saying thank you for helping them or providing a good or service that met their needs or simply made them happy. It’s an incredible feeling when you learn that you brought a smile to someone.

Tell Us About A Time You Had To Take A Risk In Your Business?

The first business risk an entrepreneur generally takes is in the investment of the setup of operations. As calculated as it may be, that first commitment of investment for both of my businesses was the real eye-opener of what I was signing up for.. but remember, rewards do not come without risks. And don’t be afraid to make a mistake, just don’t make the same mistake twice.
