WHAT BOOKS HAVE YOU READ RECENTLY THAT HAVE SUPPORTED YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY?

Two books come to mind. The first is Nicole McLaren-Campbell’s short book Make it Count. I learned 2 key lessons from this book:

1.Pick out the aspects of your life that you need to push yourself to get done. Get rid of procrastination!

2.Find ways to motivate yourself.

The second is Self-Made by Bianca Miller-Cole and Byron Cole. Bianca was a runner-up on the hit show The Apprentice. She has since started her own business and shares valuable insight into how to start a successful business in this book.

WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHER WOMEN TRYING TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESSES?

-Really know and understand your product or service. Selling becomes difficult if you don’t clearly understand what you’re selling. You must know your craft. Lack of knowledge will come back to bite you. Know your business and your market.

-Don’t be afraid to stand out. All businesses need a unique selling position (USP), even if it seems like everything has been done before. Always try to come up with ways to be creative.
