my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: Never in a million years would I think my breast cancer diagnosis would lead to starting my own company,but that is what happened. 2 years after my diagnosis I started Haralee.Com, an e-retail company devoted to keeping hot women cool.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: 10 years ago I was working for Fortune 100 companies very much in the corporate structure. I didn't think that entrepreneurial whisper in my ear was worth chancing a sure thing working for corporate America.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: In 10 years I hope to remain cancer free and embracing the entrepreneurail spirit with my company.
