There is no questions about it: Monica C. Smith is a successful entrepreneur, and that is why you should pay close attention to her advice below. Monica is the founder and CEO of Marketsmith Inc. (#389 on Inc. 500) and recent start-up, I.Predictus. For three years in a row, her businesses have driven over $1 billion dollars in sales. Being the marketing super star that she is, I thought I have seriously been SO SO SO excited all week knowing this post was coming up! In conjuncture with Glamtrepreneur, we are launching a new column on NeonNotebook called, “Getting Glam with…” (GGW). With “3 Things” and Career Confidential, we have all the other generations covered. So, I thought it would only make sense to do a Q&A that features pint-size entrepreneurs. These ladies might be young, but that isn’t stopping them from starting their own businesses!! On our first GGW, classmates Kourvoisia Townsend & Mackenzie Lowman talk about opening up their own retail
Alexandra Buckley Voris and Maggie Jones Patton are the founders of the NY-based kids’ food company, Bitsy’s Brainfood.

What you see is what you get. As you can imagine from the title, this post contains tons of pictures from my trip to Providence, Rhode Island for The Lady Project Summit.

It is a cute little place with tons of interesting history, delicious food and fun
Position / Job title?: Managing Director/COO at Beauty by Dolly 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to be a restaurateur and ultimately have my own business. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I didn’t land or create This week was AWESOME! I honestly didn’t even realize how awesome, until I sat down to write this post. Since last week’s edition, there has been so much progress! I was running around like a crazy person all week…between juggling Glamtrepreneur meetings, keeping up with my PR clients, and blogging/social media, it was definitely exhausting. However, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I met with 4 different organizations to see if they would be interested in teaming up to put on a pop-up business plan writing workshop this summer. And, holy crap, all of them said, “yes”!!!!!! |
