Episode Twenty Five features Sara Crique Talking About How She Retired From Her Job As A HealthCare Administrator To Start Her Online Clothing Business!

My Key Takeaways:

Sara was a fun guest and understood the challenges faced by older Entrepreneurs.

• Sara was originally from the Dominican Republic and is a living example of someone that embraced the American Dream and has achieved a better life. 
• Sara also credits her immigrant community for helping her get to where she is today by not only helping her but by mentoring her as well.
• Sara's number one mentor, though, was her Mother who instilled a tireless work ethic in her.
• She originally planned to retire and transition to Training or Staffing but remembered the call of her Mother's advice regarding being a Seamstress.
• Sara wants to inspire and empower minority women through her work and her own example.  She views fashion as her vehicle or stage that allows her to impart information and knowledge to others.
• Her family motivates her to keep moving forward as he wants to leave a legacy of achievement and success to her grandchildren.
• Popup shops and markets have been crucial not only in sales but for her to interact with her customers on a deeper level.
• Sara acknowledged that she wasn't as proficient early on in Website Design and Social Media and now has teams that help her with those aspects of the job.
• Sara loves to design beautiful, comfortable garments and wants people to be able to wear them and afford them.  If he makes a little less money because of that she is comfortable with that.
