I was encouraged to start a blog that focuses on
Entrepreneurship and what I’ve learned through my journey. So, I decided to take the leap because I am
good at that…I am so good at leaping out into the unknown…some call that risk
taking. I think that’s probably a polite
way of labeling those of us who go down paths less traveled, go into situations
blind, and commit to projects that we know nothing about knowing we won't stop until we do. So yes, I am a risk taker, an entrepreneur, a
passionate Italian/American on a mission.
Please join me.
I would tell you that I feel slightly inadequate to blog
about Entrepreneurship, but a speaker once told her audience, in which I was attending,
that we are NEVER to offer a disclaimer to an audience because they will focus
on that disclaimer more than they will hear what you want them to. As a result, I can’t tell you that I feel
slightly inadequate but what I can tell you is that if there is anything I am capable
of throughout my blogs, it is to tell share with you my experiences and the experiences of others.
I have learned so much through my entrepreneurial journey; some good, some bad and so
for that I feel obligated to share my experiences as well as others
experiences.
I wish that there was one amazing blogger that I followed
when starting my journey…I trust I would have made less mistakes. I didn’t find that one amazing blogger until
later in my journey, so hopefully I can bring some insight. In a later post, I will blog about my “go to”
blogs that I follow now about Entrepreneurship.
Listen…there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, as long
as you learn from them. I often
encourage my girls to make mistakes and then we will work through them
together. I believe if we aren’t making
mistakes then we aren’t taking risks and with risks comes rewards. So, take some risks already and then tell me
what you learned from them.
Let me offer some transparency about myself. I am not the grammar aficionado…I did not excel
in college at writing, so I trust you will find a mistake from time to
time. I hope you point it out to me so I
can learn from it.
So let me enlighten you on the woman behind this blog…did I
just speak in third person? I hate third
person. Let me start over…let me
enlighten you about myself. My name is
Tricia and I am no one special. I am
just a passionate Entrepreneur that won’t stop until I have reached the goals I
set for myself and my business. I haven’t
had a successful funding campaign…in fact I’ve failed more than once, I haven’t
invented some amazing app or piece of technology, but I did meet one-on-one
with Daymond John. Woot Woot! In a nutshell, I am the mother to some pretty
spectacular girls (they are my ultimate motivation), I am the founder of a
clothing line, the Madeline Lubrano Collection, tailored to tall women. My company Elevate (formerly Bellezze Alte)
will someday conquer the world in tall women’s fashion (feel free to quote me). You will learn more about my company in
future posts. I also manage a full-time
job working with Nonprofits in Kansas City, Missouri. I am proud to be a Kansas City native and I
will regularly reference the beauty of being an Entrepreneur in Kansas City…yes,
flyover country. I will also have a
future post about flyover country written by Jason Grill. I digress…I am no perfect Entrepreneur who
has it all figured out, so I thought we could figure out this journey
together. What do you say? Will you join me?
Ciao,
Trish
