You have been very successful in your business endeavors. Can you give any advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Tera: Get clear on your vision and stay focused on it. When you don’t have a vision, every path is an option and when you don’t have a focus, it’s easy to get off track.
Do you have a business role model?
Tera: My business role model is any woman that has created or maintained success while being a wife and mom. To me, they embody the Proverbs 31 woman, who was a wife, mom and businesswoman all at the same time. They are reminders we can have it all. God built us to have it all, if we so desire. We don’t have to choose one part of ourselves over the other.
What is your definition of success?
Tera: Success is knowing your purpose, acting on it, and receiving a compensation for it that allows you to thrive
