When I need inspiration, I usually turn to the blog at fastcompany.com. Yesterday, I came across this interview with young entrepreneur Alexa Von Tobel. Alexa turned her desire to understand her personal finances into a media company that has raised millions of dollars in funding:
The video is sponsored by Shatterbox, a great organization started by twenty-somethings for other young professionals who want to start innovative careers. Shatterbox is currently sponsoring “Make Your Mark,” a competition where one lucky winner will receive a $1000 boost toward her idea. That may not start your business but it’ll give you well-deserved confidence and a jolt.
If you’re in need of a little inspiration, watch Alexa’s video above or one of the many on Shatterbox’s website, including Emily and Jessica’s green event products company, Sustainable Party:
