What are some of the changes in your business since you graduated from SHE’s program?

Since graduating from SHE’s Incubator Program, I’ve been able to build a better network, and I have received a lot of support from advisors about running my business.

Tell us about a challenge that you faced and how you overcame that challenge?

My biggest challenge was Human Resource Management – I had a lot of conflicts with the staff. But I have learned to calm myself during these situations so that I won’t make rash decisions.

What would be your advise to women who want to start their own businesses?

Be mentally prepared, don’t work with friends or relatives, be strong in making decisions, and work on your management skills.

In three words, what did the program bring you?

Be more open. Share my business with others. Self-reflection

In 1 sentence, how did the program change your life or business?

Since the program ended, I could say that I am now more open to people I meet.

Would you recommend SHE’s program to others?

I would recommend SHE to a starter or small business. SHE can help and mentor them regarding what it requires to do the business.
