So since I had to interview someone who failed as a business owner my mentor thought it would be wise to interview somebody who had succeeded as a business owner. I chose a friend of the family whose name is Sinthya Penn.
Sinthya Penn started a business from nothing and it is a prettty unique business. She sells insects to farmers for biological control. This really means that good bugs eat the bad bugs without using pesticides.
I found out that she never even wrote a business plan, but she just had an idea in her head and went with it. Luckily she had investors lined up who believed in her and the concept. She has taken on many other ventures in her life including owning a race horse, farming, and many more.
Her main piece of advice for me was " the product you chose to sell does not have to be orginal. but the ideas behind the concept has to be original. So make your marketing new and you will do fine"
