I don’t know where I would be in business without a supportive family. I truly am thankful to my parents for every lesson they taught me in life … the most important one to never, ever give up. My mother used to say I was so stubborn and would try and try even when faced with an impossible situation to make something happen.

It is that stubbornness that has gotten me through some rough times personally and professionally. I am the type of person that you don’t ever say something can’t be done, because I will prove to you it can!! The people closest to me know better than to think I can’t do something because once I set my mind to something I will make it happen.

I personally think this is a very good quality to have in a business owner and I am so glad to possess it. My stubbornness truly helps me through the ups and downs in business and when I am having a rough day I always hear that little voice on my shoulder saying “You can do it, don’t give up!!”
