Do you do this enough? Alisa talks about how her new company, The Happy Cactus is all about carving your own path (and the story behind the name) Get creative on making it happen - when you have limited resources, your ability to innovate increases Don\u2019t listen to the haters - sometimes people who are more experienced than you won\u2019t be your biggest cheerleaders.
