BRIDGETT’S TAKEAWAYS:

1. There’s always something people feel is holding them back. If it’s in you and you have the passion, you can really do what you want to do.. you shouldn’t have that fear or doubt keeping you from doing it.

2. There are  several routes to a destination. If you have perseverance and resilience, stick it out. To me, things are obvious.

3. You can’t be the same person going into the business and the same person who takes it where it needs to be.
