I had the opportunity to interview Kelly White. The owner of Kelly’s Kreations, a jewelry business based out of Bladenboro, NC. When Kelly is not busy in her jewelry studio, she can be found playing with her 6-year-old son and her cat, Chrissy.
Tell me a little about yourself. Where did you go to school? How did you get the idea for Kelly’s Kreations? What are your responsibilities with Kelly’s Kreations?
I interviewed Catie Kale who is a school counselor by day and after school she owns her own home based business. Catie makes the process of owning a home-based business seem very easy as she is extremely successful. I chose to interview her because I wanted to know what makes her different from every other home based business consultant. What can one attribute to her success? The following is a summary of our interview. The mp3 of the full version is attached.
James McManus is a very good friend of mine and I was excited to have the opportunity to interview with him about his two businesses because I had never really gotten to talk with him about either of them other than the usual, “How is work going? What all do you have going on this week?” James initially started with McManus Construction and, when the housing market crashed, he jumpstarted 153 Charters in order to make up for the lack of jobs. Even though things in the housing market have picked up, he continues to run both businesses on a regular basis. Some days he is taking materials out to his guys at a job location and other days he is getting up super early to take groups out on one of the lakes in the surrounding areas. I chose to interview with James because of the fact that he runs two separate businesses due to the fact that, if I ever ran a business of my own, I feel that I would like to have more than one.
