One of my favorite topics to speak on is this idea that there’s POWER in the POUNCE! Essentially, my point is that we want to train ourselves, condition ourselves to POUNCE on opportunities in business. FAR TOO MANY business owners leave FAR TOO MUCH money on the table simply because they WAIT! (More on this topic of “waiting” right here!)
Kicking off the Spark & Hustle Chicago event is Barbara Bradley Baekgaard – the founder of the Vera Bradley empire! I’m so excited to have had the opportunity to meet her, shake her hand, and learn from her experience. But, I’m more excited to share with you a TRUTH about POUNCING that she so elegantly and powerfully shared with the audience.
Twenty-nine years ago, she was in an airport and noticed a lack of stylish, trendy luggage. She wanted to change that, and – fortunately – she knew how to sew, and a business idea was born. TWO DAYS LATER, with a $500 loan, she launched her “little” idea and brought it to market! Talk about POUNCING!
