Her Advice to Aspiring Female Entrepreneurs

• If you just do what you know and you believe in what you're doing, things will be okay at the end of the day.
• In the first years, it can be very challenging.  You have to be courageous.  You have to be willing to take risks.  You have to be smart.  You have to be thrifty when it counts. Determination is very important.
• Go for it!  It's great to be your own boss.
• Do it while you're young!
