In addition to being an entrepreneur and a volunteer, LaNette is an author, radio personality, motivational speaker, business and fashion expert. She also currently contributes to several fashion and business publications.
I posed a few questions to LaNette to learn more about her and her business endeavors. Take a look at
the interview below.
NLC: Why do you do what you do ?
My business is an outlet for me and I love talking and meeting new people.
NLC: What motivates you ?
I'm motivated by seeing other's happy with accomplishing goals that they were once told that they couldn't do.
NLC: What made you decide to become an entrepreneur ?
I was actually forced into entrepreneurship because I wanted to earn more money. My field by trade is a social worker but I wanted to earn more than gas allowance.
NLC: What ignited the spark to start a new business venture ?
I was tired of working for other people. I was tired of building everyone else's dream. I knew that once I started my own business there was no turning back and I could do it.
NLC: What do you attribute most to your success ?
Being consistent and never giving up. Allowing my clients to see the struggles as well as the successes of the business.
NLC: What do you think are a few key elements for starting and running a successful business ?
Do your research, get to know your clientele and don't be afraid to ask for money to fund your business.
NLC: Is there anything that you do on a daily basis to grow as an entrepreneur ?
It's stupid but I let my current clients know I appreciate them. I will send emails and I may post flowers on Social Media for them to see and appreciate them. Only a daily basis, I am also looking for new opportunities so that means more phone calls and more emails.
NLC: Do you have any "life-hacks" that help you to stay focused and productive in your day-to-day as an entrepreneur ?
Prayer and reading my Bible. I have to stay spiritual. I can't motivate others if I can't motivate myself.
NLC: What tips or words of wisdom would you give to someone just starting out on their path to entrepreneurship ?
"All money aint good money" Learn to love what you do and perfect it and the money will come.
NLC : Looking back, is there one thing you wished you understood about entrepreneurship before you got started ?
I didn't know the first thing about business when I started and it was almost like running down the street naked and exposed.. I wish I would have done my research!
Being an entrepreneur is no easy task and to have more than one company is commendable. I myself have more than one as well. ( I might just do a spotlight on myself ! Lol)
