BIG GIRL PANTIES... Put them on and do it! Cont’d Interviewer: Do you have any suggestions for other entrepreneurs starting out or going through a similar situation that you find yourself in? JPK: Find a company that aligns with your values - first and foremost. That is something that is almost more important than the product. Do your research of not only the company - but the leadership. This is important, because you want to be with likeminded people who can help you grow, who can challenge you and give you the tools you need. You will still be doing the work but they provide the tools you need to run with. This is important because you see women go into a company and fail. I do not think it is because of the company or themselves, however, they just might not have the support system to help them grow. Interviewer: You touched on the whole Social Media component, something that was lacking in your former company. What happened is that you went out and taught yourself and taught your team - is that correct? Does this new company have a strong social media presence? JPK: Yes, their support system is unbelievable. A lot of the social medial work I was doing on my own, they have in place. That being said... I believe that you have to take the tools you are given and put your own personal flair on it! I think that anyone going into direct sales, you still have to brand yourself and your personal flair on whatever it is. 38
