What I ultimately learned from reading her story is she found her own voice and purpose in the realm of business ownership felt more meaningful than working a regular 9 to 5 job. She transitioned from homemaker/housewife by trial and error and taking a chance on herself. Despite the challenges she had with communicating in a completely different language, she pushed through the difficulties to ultimately make the situation work for her. It also teaches us that done is better than perfect! If we wait for perfection, we’ll never actually do it.
