MMIA: When did you decide to become an entrepreneur?
MIA REDRICK: I decided to become an entrepreneur because I wanted
to combine my background as a corporate trainer with my love for
being a mother. I did not see in the marketplace the type of self-care
curriculum and perspective that I wanted to share with moms across
the country.
MMIA: How long did it take you to go from business idea to actually
seeing income?
MIA REDRICK: Well, I started to make money right away as a coach
although I didn’t “really” know how to fully value my services a
challenge that most new business owners experience.
MMIA: Do you ever regret your decision to become a full-time
entrepreneur?
MIA REDRICK: No, I love being a full-time entrepreneur. The ability
to control my time, do work that I truly love and fuels me is a gift. The
tremendous opportunity to control and influence my income drives me
daily to share my talent with the world.
