What Led You Down the Entrepreneurial Path?
There were a lot of different things, so it was not just one factor. One of the most influential factors is that, I like being my own boss. I’ve always wanted the challenge of running a business and watching it develop. Another factor is that I had a vision of a product in mind that was different than what was currently in the market. I think a lot of people jump into be an entrepreneur without really thinking long-term.

The feeling that you get when a customer has a positive experience is unlike anything. It goes to show that all the hard work and stress of being an entrepreneur really pays off.

I still to this day enjoy working in sales and in a leadership, so I’d probably still be in finance or sales. I think that is still a field that has a lot of growth and potential, so although I don’t know exactly where I’d be, I’d probably be in some way related to that field.
How Do You Balance Being a Busy Entrepreneur While Raising a Family?
There are definitely challenges when it comes to being an entrepreneur while also raising a family. I think above all else, the two key things are communication and separation.
Communication is important because the family needs to know that your days might be unconventional at times. A lot of entrepreneurs don’t have the standard 9-5 hours so there’s a lot of early mornings and late nights. It’s important to stay connected to your family through communication.
That’s why I also say separation is big. I think there needs to be a separation between family and work. When I go home, I try to leave work and work so I can enjoy and have quality time with my family. If you focus on too much at once it’s hard to think clearly.
