When it comes to taking on something new, Steph Zimmerman says “I’m going to figure out how to do it myself.”

From starting a photography business to fixing an old building, she has made a name for herself doing something she loves. But we didn’t just learn about Steph Zimmerman Photography this morning, we gained a lot of advice and perspective about starting a business from the ground up.

Steph talked about what it takes to build confidence in a potential customer. She gave advice on watching the numbers - both time and money - to ensure you can actually support yourself. And perhaps most importantly, she talked with each CEO team member about their ideas and plans for their own businesses.

Having served as a mentor with the CEO program for many years prior, we appreciate her “open book” approach to help us learn more. Thanks for your continued support of our young entrepreneurs, Steph!
