Tell us how your business came to be:
I registered my business when my first child was born. It was a side hustle at that time. After giving birth to my second child, I decided to resign, and stay focused on my own business. A diverse engineering and management background in the corporate world and previous work experience in quality management system allows me to lend my skills, knowledge, and expertise to help small business owners.
What has been one of your best business calls/decisions to date?
When I resigned from my previous job and decided to build my own business.
Describe a time when you took a risk - how did it work out for you?
I made a decision to part ways with a significant client due to the near burnout I was experiencing at that time. I’m aware this would affect my revenue, so I took proactive steps to restructure my service offerings. As a Christian, I believe that when one door closes, another opens, and the good times will come when the timing is right. Which it did.
Funny situation that happened through your business?
I’m not an early bird so don’t expect me to wake up at 5am - but I’m a night owl, and sometimes I reply my emails at night and schedule them to be sent early in the morning to pretend I’m an early bird person.
