The accidental entrepreneur

by Chelle Parmele on January 11, 2008

There’s always something interesting happening over at Anita Campbell’s “Small Business Trends” website.

This article by Dr. Susan L. Reid, a business coach and consultant for entrepreneurial women starting up businesses, caught my eye this morning.

It’s all about how she became an entrepreneur completely on accident after resigning as the Director of Choral Activities at James Madison University.

She calls herself an Accidental Pren-her ™ or “a woman who finds herself starting up a business for the first time. Surprised…because she never thought she would…”

Like I said, I enjoyed reading “How Many of You Became Entrepreneurs Accidentally?” and thought she had some good thoughts for women in this same kind of situation.
