Tragedy struck Jen Betts, in the year 2000.

As she was walking into a room, a playful environment, where somebody was swinging something around and she walked right into it, causing ocular damage to her left eye, and leaving her blind in one eye.

Now, after the tragedy, she's left with only a couple of options; just sit down and be depressed, or get up and keep going. Courageously, she chose to keep going, keep pushing, and be more positive, in spite of the setback.

Fast forward to, today. Jen Betts now runs a Public Relations company called Innovative PR and her specialty or area of interest is Entertainment Strategy.

Now, this is where things get interesting.

Her educational background came from nursing which is super different from PR.

What has got me here, there's just a lot of no sleep

I made the decision of starting an own company after being loyal to a group of people in my industry for a certain amount of time

People are so scared about asking for help and they're so prideful

Everybody needs to use toughest times in their life to persevere in business and take our personal challenges and conquer business in a proper and positive and courteous way

Anybody who's going through a dark time, to become triumphant; you need your time to work through the phases of crisis

It's really important for people to take the time to get to know people and then understand how that relationship can flourish for business

It's not about what others can do for you; it's about that you're interested in them because of their talent

In life, it's so much easier to be negative and not to be positive. It takes time and will to be positive

Drive is that want, that desire, that want to do it, the hard part to try and find within your soul
