The CEO of Dosso Beauty describes the entrepreneurial life, how Hampton enhanced her skill as a business owner, and lessons learned in bootstrapping an international company.
As a fellow Hampton U alum, great interview and congratulations to her. Her willingness to forgo partying and living the life in exchange for building her business is commendable. That is the stuff that make successful businesses.
The key part that many people, especially Black Americans need to understand is that your 9to5 job can prepare you for venture. You can pick up some much information from your day job that can be applied to your venture. My former supervisor reminded me to not just do your job, but study the industry, the company, and the clients you interact with as this builds a reservoir of information, knowledge, skills, and expertise that can be applied when it is time to venture out. We need more mentalities like this to help create more entrepreneurs and talent.
