AZF: What is your “life motto?”
TB: Stay consistent, work hard, be in the moment, & love all that life gives you even the hard times there is such value in it.
AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path right for you?
TB: Yes but I also have a love for teaching & pursued it for over 18 years. As our company grew I knew it was time to take the next step into CCWR full time with my husband. It took some life experience to make the move & I am so happy.
AZF: How do you feel best supported?
TB: Working together with my husband & crew. Having community with like minded women in the industry through The Foundress. We also mentor with professionals that help build our business thru advice & guidance.
AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?
TB: The start of the project with a client and the thrill of seeing a customers face when the project is completed. The freedom it allows our family for personal time and flexibility with work hours.

AZF: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?
