Interview with Creative Start-Up Strategist for Retail/Service based Entrepreneurs, Sonja Merritt- Thompkins of www.Sincerely,Sonja.com. I chat with Sonja Thompkins, who has spent the last 20 years working, owning & operating 4 businesses, including a Day Spa Salon and 3 Brick and Mortar Boutiques, as a licensed Cosmetologist and working as a Self Employed Hairstylist. In our in-depth discussion, Sonja touches on tips and advice for starting, developing, and growing your retail/service based business on a budget, with little to no capital. She dishes on her experiences starting her businesses, including starting a retail boutique for only $3,000. She also delivers great advice on balancing motherhood and business, overcoming challenges in start-up success, & overcoming the fear of beginning where you are.
