My Way or the Highway

It has come to my attention that some of the most succesful businesses are built on one simple principle, how not to run a business. Men like Bill Gates, the Facebook guy, the owners of my father's company all started this way. They knew how they were treated, what was being shoved down their throats, and how the only thing they wanted was to do the exact opposite. I have since learned that I want to do the same as those men. I want to run a business completely different than the one I was working for. I have said it a million times, but customer service and employee appreciation can take you a long way. Pay people for their hard work, make them know you see their contributions and dedication, and have the guts to be honest when things aren't working out. Do the same for your customers and you will be good as gold. Simple...right?

I recently have stubmled upon a career change. I will soon be re-titling my blog, but haven't gotten that far yet. I moved back to Atlanta, and have since ended up back in the fashion industry. An industry I truly belong in. Along the way I hit a couple hundred speed bumps, had a boss that tried to tear me down, and another that turned out to be the fabulous person I always knew she was. I just want to thank that person for teaching me how business is supposed to be run.
