Man this is hard!!!
I had no idea being an entrepreneur would be so taxing, difficult and inspiring all at the same time. As a first generation Latina, I didn't have access to private schools or anything beyond a state college. However, some how along the way...early in my life, I caught that entrepreneurial bug that just permeates every cell in my body and every thought in my mind.
In 2008, I dedicated every Friday and Saturday to work on my business plan. It took me 9 months to complete all the necessary research. After that I was in search for the right person to partner with to bring a product line to life to better prepare Latino kids for Kindergarten. Another 4 months negotiating with that person. Then there was the task of learning about financial projections, hiring a CPA and a consultant to help me understand what the CPA was telling me.
As the contracts started coming in I had to learn more about how to look at each contract with a 360 perspective, knowing full well that with complicated language, meant complicated scenarios. In truth, I'm intimidated, scared, learning, excited, taxed, but all the while hoping for that big breakthrough.
And the journey continues....
