Free RegistrationMy daughter had a third grade teacher who arranged an entrepreneurship day for her class. My daughter came up with the idea of bookmarks with special custom made charms on them for her classmates. Ever since then she has been interested in business and entrepreneurship. Little did that teacher know she was igniting a fire within my child. She has the superior gift of market intuition and she is the one who identified my specialty niche and convinced me to start a business!
How do you stay motivated?As a single parent, I know that my daughter is always watching me. I want to show her that anything is possible with persistence and grit!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to put the money towards a television commercial for my business so that more people can understand that they can get vision rehabilitation after a stroke, traumatic brain injury or a concussion. Most of the world isn't aware of this service.
