Show Notes
(00:55) – What compelled Camille to get started?
- She was a business in marketing consultant, got burnt out and had a knack for remodeling
- Her sister told her to become a carpenter and so she eventually opened her own kitchen remodeling business
- She worked almost her entire career without having met another woman- apart from Instagram
(5:00) – What Camille wishes she knew before, that she knows now
- “I wish I knew how good I was going to be.”
- It wasn’t a common thing for girls when she started out and no one encouraged her by saying “eventually you will be so good at this”

(6:25) – Why do entrepreneurs quit?
- It’s mentally stressful and there isn’t a lot of support
- Even her family doesn’t seem interested in what she’s doing
(8:35) – What were some hurdles for you?
- When Camille first got sued, she felt cut to heart because she believed she did a great job
- They essentially didn’t want to pay for the job because the client didn’t have the money
- A friend who is also a contractor said: “This is the first time you’ve been sued?” Which opened her eyes to the fact that it can come with the job.
- She learned that the business is not who she is as a person.
