It’s wild out there and the struggle is real. Entrepreneurship is no joke, everyday is a new challenge, a new up, a new down, it never stops. The action, the drama, the energy is addictive and it’s why so many never want to retire from entrepreneurship. We’ve asked some very talented entrepreneurs to share some of those crazy stories with us.

In 2018, I was contacted by a client named Kyle through a work friend. He wanted to schedule a photoshoot for him and his boyfriend, Francis, and I suggested we go to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve out in Plano since it was spring and everything was in bloom. I had never met Kyle, so I asked them to meet me at the front entrance and gave them a short description of me. As they walked up, Francis and I had one of those “I know who you are but I don’t know where from” moments. After about 30 seconds, we realized that we had gone to the same high school (go Bearkats!) and spent approximately 5 minutes laughing about the serendipity. Read more>>

March 2020 hit and not only did the entire world go into lockdown but I found out I was pregnant and due in the middle of open enrollment. In the world of benefits, the 4th quarter is everything. In a few weeks, we do 50% of our business for the year. There was no way I could run a normal open enrollment season and have a baby at the same time! I had always planned on hiring agents and expanding my team; I just didn’t know it would need to happen so quickly. Read more>>

Well, this one is fun! I would say my specialty is brows! I LOVE LOVE doing brows. It’s an artwork in itself. Everyone’s brows are different with a unique style and look. Facials and peels bring a different gratification. Having someone come in with troubled skin and trusting me to transform it is so rewarding. That’s what makes my job special, personable and individualized to each person that walks into Natalie Falletta Skin Care. Read more>>

The craziest thing that happened to me was on March 31st 2019. One of my favorite hip hop artists was coming to Atlanta to do a concert. Once I found out, I was beyond excited. Immediately. I bought front row tickets!! The next day I went to work thinking it would be so amazing if I could gift Tobe Nwigwe wife one of my custom denim jackets. Read more>>
