Nature of Business: The Wiley Group helps institutions grow their businesses through strategic talent management and leadership development.
To me, entrepreneurship means
being able to create an enterprise that is aligned with your values and experiences, and therefore, allows you to do things you enjoy around issues that you care deeply about.
 

The most important lesson that I've learned is not to be afraid of taking thoughtful risks.   If you make life choices based upon what "feels right" for you at each stage of your life, and if you give 100% of yourself to whatever you decide to pursue, it all comes together at the end. 


I want to encourage you to surround yourself with people who have positive energy -- because positive energy generates more positive energy.  A network of support is critical to being a successful entreprenuer.  These are the people who will help you gain clarity around your own goals; provide candid and constructive suggestions for how to reach your goals; and will help you filter out all of the noises that sometimes get in our way and cloud our ability to see clearly through our own lens.
