More about Shira

Biggest obstacle overcome...

Patience and ignoring other people's ego's and negative energy.

Biggest business mistake...

Constantly needing other people's reassurance that an idea is ok. It's good to get insight and advice, but trust your instincts.

Biggest vice...

WMulti-tasking. It can be a good thing, but sometimes it makes me feel like I'm spreading myself too thin.

Biggest advice for others...

Don't underestimate passion and perseverance. If you don't believe in your idea, nobody will.

What I do for fun...

I'm a foodie- I love wining and dining with friends. And traveling of course!

Most embarrassing business moment...

Completely missing a dinner meeting with the head of a big company- he never "confirmed", so I just forgot about it and he actually showed up for the dinner. Yikes!
