Your interview has lots and lots of tips and good advice. I'm glad I took the time to read it and will be following you. Much success to you.

Hi Renee,

I loved the interview, I am just starting out and find that whilst I am enthusiastic I sometimes wonder whether anything will really happen. You read really well and I thoroughly enjoyed finding out a bit more about you and your business. Good luck with the future plans and thank you!

Amy

Thank you everyone, it's such a great community here and everyone is so Awesome.

@Victoria the app is called Document Scanner and you can get a trial in the Android Market as well.

I used the trial first and then bought the app because it was working so well on my phone. I've also got an Android Tablet, but haven't installed it on that yet.

Hello, Renee. I enjoyed reading your interview so much. I especially appreciated your comment on knowing how to say "no" sometimes. I think that really has been one of the most difficult things to learn for me so far.

Congratulations on such a wonderful success story, and I wish you all the best and continued enjoyment along with prosperity of course!

Awesome interview!

Renee, thanks for sharing your experiences, thoughts and future plans with us! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your interview and appreciated the chance to learn more about you and your company.

I agree with Patty - one of my biggest/best lessons as a business owner was how to leverage the word 'No'.

I'm really grateful for the opportunity to network with you here at VAF and get so much from your contributions to the community. Happy to know you! Even if only virtually

Thanks Tess, right back at ya!

I think learning to say "No" is one of the most important things a business owner can learne and I've seen it over and over again for me that everytime I don't trust my instincts and say Yes, when I know I should have said "no" it always comes back to bite me in the butt!

So though it's terrifying to say "no" doing it is liberating!

Wonderful interview! Enjoyed that so much. Renee, I think of redheads as being impetuous and bad tempered, but you are far too savvy for any of that. Makes me curious ... what's your definition of a redhead?

Please add me to your list for notification about your publications.

Mary, you made me laugh...

When I was younger I often got just that kind of response all the time, especially the comment about the temper and even though redheads can have a temper, more often than not I don't see that.

One of my favourite quotes about redheads is...

"Blondes may have more fun, but redheads simply have more!"

To me being a redhead is so much a part of my identity that if I dyed my hair, I'd lose part of me

I can't really speak for other redheads, but this is how I describe a redhead...

Quick, sharp, witty, independent, think outside of the box, charming, fun and slow to anger, but when you do watch out! IMO, redheads have always been the kids that stood out, whether they wanted to or not and you either embrace that or you shrink and hide, there's an instant bond for us 'gingers' simply because we are a rare and becoming extinct folk (yes, redheads are becoming extinct!).

I have a newsletter going out this week, so I will you add you to the list

Renee
