The Painted Pearl SRQ is the creative brain child of Kathy Bennett which she birthed after leaving the security of a government job and an 18-year foray into entrepreneurship and self employment.
If you’re struggling with trying to decide between staying secure vs. following an entrepreneurial path, you’ll gain some inspiration from what Kathy shares.
Thanks to her experience running several businesses and having some of the struggles that are common amongst entrepreneurs, Kathy has some unique insight into what success means, and should mean for a business person.
Over the years she learned how to effectively define what success meant to her and the revelation made a big difference in her outlook on business.
We talk all about that, and much much more…
