Reason for starting
I got fired for reporting my HR Director for inappropriate behaviors! I had been wanting to start my business for over a year, but I was afraid to take the risk…so I waited…and waited… Three weeks after losing my job, I launched my business.
How do you define success?

What is your top challenge and how have you addressed it?
