This morning we hosted Shannon Allali, a self-made female entreprenuer, who provided insight on her business The Infused Olive. which offers infused olive oils and much more. Starting off as a sole proprietorship and evolving into a LLC provided many lessons that Shannon was happy to share with our young entrepreneurs:

➡️Don't be afraid to pivot to new ideas
➡️Stick to your budget
➡️Don't grow stagnant
➡️Collaboration over competition
➡️Celebrate failures because you learn from them
➡️Don't worry about what everyone else is doing
➡️Brand recognition is crucial
➡️Make goals not plans

"Have confidence, you can do great things, especially in the business realm." Not only did Shannon share some key advice, she even shared some exciting up and coming products on the horizon for her business. Thank you, Shannon, for taking the time to come and invest the knowledge you have gained into the next generation of small business owners!
