One of my favorite parts of writing my book was getting to interview some entrepreneurs that I really admire. It was a pretty tight turnaround and I’m so grateful to this group of entrepreneurs who were up for the interview! The book is set up into two sections: one about all the nitty gritty things you need to run a business and another about what you need to do to protect yourself as an entrepreneur. Since you are, after all, your business’s greatest asset. I interviewed different entrepreneurs to fit into each chapter and it was great to get their first hand stories and experiences and advice. (I was taking my own notes, too!)
I feel forever grateful to these wonderful women and their businesses so I thought I’d do a special post celebrating them.
ADDISON BAY
Such a fun collection of athletic wear. I love the striped leggings.
CHLOE DIGITAL
I have been a customer of Chloe Digital for years. It is instrumental in keeping my website up and running!! They help me with everything from website tweaks to full blown server emergencies.
LYCETTE DESIGNS
An amazing needlepoint store. With two locations (Newport and the flagship in Palm Beach), plus an e-commerce site, it’s a one-stop shop for all things needlepoint.
CHAPPY WRAP
A family favorite blanket– even the dogs can’t get enough.
DAE HAIR
Have you tried Dae hair products yet?! I love the shampoo and conditioner so much; need to try a few of their other products next!
DIANE HILL
My favorite phone case! Diane Hill is such a talented artist.
DUDLEY STEPHENS
My love for Dudley runs deep. It’s no secret I basically live in mine!
GRACE ROSE FARM
While rose season ended for winter, you can still scoop up a gift card to save for later when the flowers are back in bloom. The bouquets are unreal… and they smell divine!
MARGAUX
I love Margaux’s entire line of shoes. Every single pair is classic and beautifully constructed.
OUI CREATIVE
This is such a brilliant creative studio specializing in stop motion. I love everything they touch. You can sign up for courses and get tips whether you’re a photographer wanting to learn a new skill or a total newbie hoping to break into a creative field.
SARA FITZ
I have a handful of Sara Fitz’s prints and I’m really just such a big fan. I can’t get enough of her coastal-inspired watercolors!
SARAH FLINT
Sarah Flint has a cult-like following for their extra comfortable, but still elevated, line of shoes. The Natalie flat is one of my go-tos.
SARAH O JEWELRY
I will forever be a fan of Sarah O Jewelry! A mix of classic and eclectic jewelry– each piece is a showstopper.
THE TINY TASSEL
Love love love The Tiny Tassel’s selection of cheeky and fun jewelry and accessories! I have these bow earrings and they add a little something to any outfit I wear.
So many great businesses! I can’t wait to read your book!
I already have mine pre-ordered!
