Inspo Repeat - Business Builders ⭐ Roundtable Discussion
This is a special episode, my first roundtable discussion and I had the best guests! My guests share their business building experiences, starting with how they planned their exits from employment to entrepreneurship. We discuss choosing a business structure, landlords (including free build-outs & rent), HR issues, available business resources, MBAs and how sometimes bias, negativity and even tragedy can be a motivating factor in meeting goals (or personal freedom!). We cover it all!Here my roundtable guests: Monique Jackson - Clutch and Curlhttps://clutchandcurl.com/Monique The Stylist is a Salon Proprietor, Master Stylist and Professional Development Educator. She left a thriving commission based career behind to start her own beauty enterprise.

Lola Elzein - Venture Title Companyhttps://vtclosings.com/Lola Elzein aka "The Title Lady(TM)" founded Venture Title in 2014.
