Being a source of inspiration for others, Hermanie left us with some advice she has has learned herself over the years:
- Do not let unqualified people discredit you!
- What advice would you give to that person whose business is no doing so great and wants to give up?
- Change your model! Get a mentor! Invest in yourself. Remember to be an engineer you have to go to school for four years and that doesn’t count the summer school lol! It takes a business 7 years to flourish. Education is the key! Learn, fail! Keep learning and you will win.
- Success to me, mean Set a goal and achieve it. It doesn’t have to be big! Success is an action, not words. I do not live in the same state as my father. If I say, dad, I am going to see my father this weekend and I did guess what? success to me.
- Success is not about money but a mindset to accomplish what you say you will do.
