I Love Blue Flame Entrepreneurs
We are starting a new show on Fox Business about entrepreneurs-Saturday 1-2PM EST. All live call-ins, emails and twitters. I will answer any question there about anything. I sent out a blog asking for stories from entrepreneurs. Here is a comment I got this morning from Marilee.
Today the news is full of bailout stories. People like Marilee aren’t waiting for a bailout-they are doing it themselves with their own hands and their own energy. I think we need to spend more time celebrating Marilee and less time discussing what some politician said. If we had more Marilee’s we would not be in this mess.
Send me your stories.
John
Greetings John,
Being a Realtor and having the CA Real Estate market taking a serious downturn, I started to look at other avenues in business. I landed on a Beauty Salon in our small town of Cool, CA (population 2520). My thought process was regardless of a recession and even when tightening the purse strings, women will give up shopping, movies and lunch dates before cutting back on their beauty routine.
I’ve grown the business in 4 months, from 2 hairstylists to 5 hairstylists and one manicurist.
I am still active in Real Estate. The Salon will hopefully allow me to survive this economy until CA Real Estate (especially Horse Properties) recovers.
Dear Marilee,
Thanks for writing. You are exactly what the country needs today to climb out of the hole we are in. It is people’s ENERGY, not bailout packages, that will fix the economy. You have my admiration.
Give us a call on the show.
Wish there were 10 times more of you.
best regards,
John
