Starting and Developing Your Own Thing and Mistakes Not to Make.

New Arrival

Created 7 years ago in Business / Getting Started

I have had the unique situation of starting two businesses at the same time. I came out of a depressing stint in the corporate world had a plan for one business and fell into another. I can be a teacher some days and am a student others. One business is industrial chemicals and the other is fashion, namely women's handbags. Both businesses experienced some success and I just kept at it with both.

25 years with the chemical industry in sales, marketing, business development and product sourcing. Extensive international experience particularly in Asia-Pacific. 20 years of that lived in Australia and China. In 2014 left the corporate world to start my own business, chemical sourcing, trading and distribution with focus on suppliers from China and India. Also in 2014, accidentally started in the fashion business. Now developing and selling my own label of handbags in the US. I change hats by the minute as both businesses are growing.
