Social entrepreneur leads this business to greatness
January 24, 2009 by Suzi Dafnis
When Jodie Freid lived in India for a few years and assisted in the earthquake aid to a small village, she began to connect with a network of women who would later become the basis of her award-winning business.
In this article she shares the story of her business. When asked about networking - here is what she said:
I have been a speaker at several networking events, which is definitely not in my comfort zone (quite terrified actually), especially when the women I was speaking alongside were amazing, experienced and very inspiring businesswomen. I think I was able to provide the perspective of a new business owner who has paved her own unconventional way of making a business. I felt proud that even though I failed business maths at school, I was able to stand up in front of so many incredible businesswomen and share my story.
