Tuesday, January 24 - Breaking Barriers and Mentorship

Trish Tonaj, author, coach and speaker. Mentors can inspire and motivate us to new levels. Mentors are; informal in family situations, formal in work place settings and inspirational through a personal friend or someone you've never met. Trish spoke of entrepreneurs and why people start their own businesses. Her book, Breaking Barriers, shares stories of ten entrepreneurial women who break through the barriers in order to pursue their dreams. Q&A. How did you select the women for your text? Women were selected from different workplace settings and I chose the women who fit the categories of the text. How were the categories identified for the text? These naturally came forward as I interviewed the women. Are there entrepreneur failures? Yes, a successful entrepreneur will learn from mistakes/failures and not give up.
