Women Who Rock with Success

I grew up as the oldest of three girls; therefore, my father (an entrepreneur and
basketball coach of high school and college teams) raised us to be independent Kat hryn
women and become whatever we desire to be. His entrepreneurial spirit that was
St arks
displayed in the many businesses his built as well as his competitive nature and
success were present when he encouraged me to start my own business. I was a
second grade teacher with a BS in elementary education and Master?s degree in
literacy and culture and my first published children?s book. I had no business
experience but a lot of books in my apartment to sell; my dad simply told me to start
a company. My father being an avid reader provided me with countless articles,
books, and quotes from renowned business leaders as well as personal advice along
the way. As a coach, he only provided me with feedback on how to get better in sales,
marketing, and public speaking. My celebrations became his victories while a global
literacy educational company (now twelve years old) was created. He knew that I
could develop a company that highlighted my strengths-teaching, children, literacy,
and education. He also showed me and instilled in me the importance of becoming
the best version of myself in my field. In business, you can work with a lot of different
personalities. By far, my favorite individual to work alongside is my dad. He is a
business leader, mentor, supporter, loyal fan, and family who has definitely made the
largest impact in my own business.
