Q: What was the biggest mistake you made? What did you learn from it?
A: The biggest mistake I made was selling my earrings at an outdoor event. It was so windy that my earrings blew all over an Oklahoma farm! I learned that not all venues are appropriate for selling my products.
Q: What do you like to do when you’re not conquering the business world?
A: When I am not conquering the business world, I enjoy drawing anime and spending time with my friends.
Q: Any advice for other girls starting a business?
A: My advice is to find a market that isn’t being served and serve it—or find a need or a problem that hasn’t been solved and innovate a new product or solution.
