Entrepreneur Interview

I really enjoyed interviewing an entrepreneur this week.  The first person I set something up with didn't work out, so I had to be creative and persistent to get my interview.  I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Carolyn Allen of My Miracle Tea.  She brims over with enthusiasm and confidence.  I'm touched at the generosity with which she shared her time.  As a student, mother, and homeschool teacher, my plate is full to bursting, so I'm acutely aware that time is our most valuable commodity.  I didn't take it lightly to ask someone to spend some time talking to me.  Carolyn got me all fired up, I can't wait until I'm in her position, and I'm the one that gets to encourage someone else starting out.  For now, I really am getting into the mindset of myself as a professional, which was Carolyn's biggest recommendation.  A friend asked me to design a logo for her new freelance writing business.  I impressed her and myself even with how organized and professional I was about the whole project.  I worked really hard, and we're both happy with the results.  I learned a lot, it built my confidence, and I have something to add to my portfolio.
