Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
If you want to be successful, or think you want to be successful. Do the internship, it will tell you if you want it enough or not. If you’re currently a participant, remember that its about your ability to set and achieve goals, that has to be more important than watching TV after a long day of work when you should be out getting more business.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
The feeling I got, knowing that I was running a successful business and making money while sitting poolside.
Last words of wisdom?
One thing I’ve realized since College Works Painting is that businesses don’t just grow, careers don’t just move forward, we don’t constantly increase our income. There are setbacks, money comes and goes, opportunities are sporadic. Just look at how long the average career lasts for this generation. Its important to be flexible and learn skills that will allow you to excel in any field.
