This attorney turned entrepreneur created the world's smartest rain hat and an emoji company for the culture. Here’s how.
According to a study, 85% of people hate their job.
If that’s really true, why do people stay? Why do people continue to do work that doesn’t serve them or excite them?
As the saying goes, “Life begins once you get out of your comfort zone.”
When you get out of your comfort zone and remove the fear that’s holding you back, you become one step closer to living out your purpose.
For some of you, you may be like serial entrepreneur Tracey Pickett, who’s not apart of that 85% of people who hate their job. Instead, you may be working a decent job, with great pay, but there’s a little, teeny tiny voice inside of you that’s telling you there is more.
Tracey, an Atlanta native and Spelman alum, began her career as an attorney at a Fortune 500 company working in the areas of corporate and intellectual property law. Despite this, she knew she wanted more out of life and for herself.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Tracey had several business ideas. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she was always passionate about entrepreneurship, and as she said in an interview, “I knew that I would not be living my best life if I didn’t go after that dream.”
For Tracey, that dream became launching two startups – the first being a media design tech company, and the second one, a patent-protected hat company that protects various hairstyles, lengths, and textures from the rain and humidity.
In an exclusive interview with Tracey, we learned about her serial entrepreneurial journey, and how she was able to take her ideas from a concept, to a profitable, scalable business.
