BEING BOLD
1. RAINE: What is one or more examples in how you have embraced your bold?
Being a female entrepreneur in a male dominated industry, I’ve had to have a lot of confidence when approaching clients or partners.
SURPRISES
2. RAINE: What was the biggest surprise you have experienced in building your business or career?
How hard it is to find good, reliable employees. In the past, I would let a lot slide, whether it was showing up late to work or not being a team player, but recently I don’t let a lot slide in the way I used to.
BALANCE
3. RAINE: How have you battled loneliness or burnout on your journey as a creative entrepreneur?
Most of the time I am the one deciding the marketing strategies, and it is fun to be creative and try different things, but a lot of the times it’s just me making those decisions. To make sure I stay fresh I try to turn off work whenever possible when at home with my family.
FAILURES / OBSTACLES
4. RAINE: What was your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?
Taking a risk on different marketing strategies, and from that I’ve learned not to put all of my eggs in one basket.
MINDSET
5. RAINE: How would you compare surviving entrepreneurship to sports?
I always played team sports. When playing on a team you are only as good as your weakest player and the same applies to entrepreneurship.
MEMORIES
6. RAINE: What is your most memorable experience and why?
So many amazing memories, but I think the best is yet to come…
WHAT IF
7. RAINE: If you could give yourself advice 5 years ago, knowing what you know now, what would it be?
Invest in social media and growing that side of the business. Also, let people go if they aren’t the right fit, don’t hold on to people hoping they will change.
SUCCESSES
8. RAINE: What accomplishment are you most proud of and who was the person most helpful towards it?
The overall growth of the business and being able to employ others. My husband is a producer and business owner here in Vegas, and we work together. Since he’s been an entrepreneur a lot longer than I have, he has been very helpful when it comes to helping me make the big decisions.
FUTURE PROJECTS
9. RAINE: What are you most excited about regarding your upcoming projects or goals for your creative or entrepreneurial roadmap?
I’m working on building out a luxury side of the business, so instead of low budget items, I’m working with one of my best friends to create a Luxury retreat in Vegas for women. Everything will be five-star all the way.
FUN FACTS
