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 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. After many years of working in education and non-profit, they got to a point where they realized that they had to solve some of the problems that they kept seeing over and Like I have mentioned before, I am not very creative when it comes to titling my blog posts. 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. When I went to school in Boston, I always wanted to visit Providence, but I never made it. I was excited to have a few days before The Summit to explore the city. 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) 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 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,
Full name?: Karena Simon Position / Job title?: Founder & Executive Director of Lillie B. Girls 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? 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 |
