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 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”!!!!!!
With bathing suit season right around the corner, I thought Hilary Genga, Founder of Trunkettes Swimwear, would be a timely fit for “3 Things”. The inspiration for Trunkettes? Hilary used to pair her husband’s swim trunks with her cute bikini tops. She was tired of waiting for women’s swimwear to catch up, so she decided to create her own So this past weekend, I had the honor of going to Providence, RI to attend The Lady Project Summit. If you follow any of my social media channels, you probably saw that I had the best time ever. It was inspiring and motivating to be around a group of ladies with interesting jobs or side hustles. Everyone that I spoke to was trying to do something major with their life. In the past, I have always hated networking or conferences because small talk is awkward. However, at The Summit, I felt like we all kinda instantaneously became friends,

A singer and I wanted to build “homeless shelter hotels” all over the world. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I researched and studied Greetings from Providence, RI! I got here yesterday morning, and I spent some time just wandering the city. I walked around downtown, RISD, and the river. Then, ate an amazing dinner at The Grange. The poutine was out-of-control delicious. This morning, I am going to head over to Brown, just to say I have been there. Oh, but not before I stop at Dunkin Donuts for an iced coffee. Here’s the thing, there are Dunkin Donuts in Austin, but they are few and far between. In Boston and NYC, they are everywhere, so that is all I would Growing up, going to college, getting a job, and finding a way to support myself was never an option. It was a given. In 2006, when I left San Antonio (where I had lived my whole life) to go to school in Boston, all I knew was that I had to find something that I could do for the rest of my life. I didn’t have the slightest idea of what that would be exactly, but hey, that is what college is for right?! I knew a job was a job, but I wanted to find something that I could
OC-native, Michelle McCloskey is no different. With three successful businesses under her belt, she decided to start Run Around Betties, a company that puts a unique twist on personal
It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in: everyone wants to be the best they can. When you see very successful business leaders, there can be a sort of “false aura” of unreachable success around them. If you can get beyond their paycheck, you will realize that the strategies they use can be applied by anyone. For example, when you look I have to say, this weekend was pretty fun.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends, and I have definitely started to prioritize it more. The result? I have really been wayyyy happier. The weekend started off with a bang. It was one of my oldest (not in terms of age; in terms of how long we have known each other) friend’s birthdays. We went out on Friday night, and it |
