Starting Your Own Business is a Pure Act of Faith

By startupprincess | Published March 27, 2007

Fairy Godmother Janet Meiners, Newspapergrl shares this entrepreneur profile from BusinessWeek:

Janet Hanson

Corporate experience: Left Goldman Sachs, where she was a rising star, in 1987.

Current venture: Started Milestone Capital, a six-person asset management firm with more than $2 billion in assets.

Advice: “Starting your own business is a pure act of faith in yourself and trust in the partnerships you can create. Have an unwillingness to compromise or be less than what you know in your heart you can create–regardless of conventional wisdom or the expectations of others. Tune out the other voices and tune in your own voice.”
