JAN 2015
Beyond the generalized challenges faced by female
entrepreneurs; Toni was asked how she deals with her business
challenges or how she intends to deal with them. In response to
this, Toni simply stated “A business will always have
challenges. The best thing I did in 2013 was to get mentors.
Persons with professional experience who are super-intelligent
that genuinely care about my growth and development as an
individual and a young business woman. I have also drafted a
team that is very efficient. This, for me, was important because
we run a more effective operation and can more easily and
readily effect change and have a greater impact with all the
projects we are working on.”
Toni was also asked ‘Do you believe that you have achieved
your goals or do you think that you have more to accomplish?’
In a few words she shared “If I had to put my professional
experience as a percentage, I would say that I am 5% of where I
am destined and hoping to be.” As such, going forward, Toni
looks forward to the many opportunities offered by the Internet
to build upon and diversify her business. She knows that there
will be further challenges along the way but believes that any
obstacles can be overcome by building relationships based on
mutual respect. If all else fails, her philosophy is, “If you shout
loud enough, somebody will hear and somebody will have to do
something.” As such, she looks forward to only progress in the
next leg of her race.
As she shared, but if we are to put a time stamp of five years, “I
would like to be closer to my vision of self-actualization. I would
be 33 years old in five years. Therefore, I visualize a closer
relationship with my Creator, a healthy body, a happy family, a
raving regional business and a successful part-time legal
career. That is what I see for myself in five years!”
