difficult to pinpoint a specific thing. But, I think one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is to always be prepared. You never know when opportunity will come knocking at your door. Let me share a story with you. I attended a Corporate Mingle event in 2010 and met a popular television personality. She was so excited about my business that she took my number and promised to call me with a Smile Jamaica interview opportunity. Little did I know that her call would come the following day. A slot was available for Monday. I was completely caught off guard and wasn’t sure what to do. I told her that I would call her back in five minutes and she warned me that the opportunity could vanish if I didn’t call back within five minutes. I consulted with a friend who encouraged me to take the opportunity. I returned the call. My time - eight minutes. The opportunity had vanished. However, she was nice enough to pass on my information to her producer so I was able to get an interview on another day. I learnt my lesson though. Never again would I botch such an opportunity. Describe Fruit Blossoms in one word. Dynamic. It changes constantly to meet demand and I haven’t unlocked its full potential yet. The possibilities are endless. Do you only sell edible fruit arrangements? No, we also sell: Gift boxes (Chocolate covered strawberries and wines) Fruit Popz(icicles) Smoothie packs What books and/or podcasts would you recommend? I believe that it’s so important to set the right tone for the day by paying keen attention to what you listen to, especially if you work Issue �: April ���� ��
