As a product design entrepreneur i LOVED this post, so inspiring and thank you for sharing. Like Annie says, recognising your strengths and weaknesses play a huge role in succeeding as a first time entrepreneur. Modern marketing tools like social media portals and blogging have made gaining visibility for products or services that much easier and economical for young entrepreneurs. She’s right about testing the water first and doing a lion’s share of research before getting started. Thanks for this inspirational post! Please keep em coming!

Our daughter lives a mile down the road from Pine Cone Hill and we travel from PA to visit her and Pine Cone Hill. (love the tent sales). Great to hear Annnie’s dreams come true. My daughter and I have a jewelry business she runs from her home with a baby interweaving her days. Yes, work takes time and devotion but it pays off in so many ways. Creating art feeds the soul. I love your pallette of colors and fresh ways you find to use them. Thanks for being “down the road” and for the great encouragement by being all you can be and allowing others to enjoy your talents. (I do production for my daughter from PA, as well as create and sell jewelry in south Alabama). Thank goodness for email, phones and delivery services. Fed Ex, UPS, and mailman are close friends. ha.

Thank you so much for sharing this interview, Kate! I just quit my full-time radio job. Literally. Yesterday was my last day. I felt similar to what Annie felt like when she quit hers. I’m going to have to print this out so I can go back & read it. I know I’m gonna need these reminders. Thanks again! <3 Heidi Rew
