Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
Definitely putting value on my work, that was something I struggled with. Because before I am doing I was doing what I do with Simple Green Smoothies I was running a design studio so I never charged enough for what I was doing. Still it is even it is always hard to define what it is my time is worth. So that was something that I had to overcome with starting the business.
