Want to be an entrepreneur? Check your childhood for signs of
early makings! As a young girl, Anne Arcenas-Gonzales had a knack
for selling things to people and mounted her own garage sales at
home—but never thought entrepreneurship would be her destiny.
After she became a mother at 19, she got a corporate job after
college, but she wanted to define her own destiny. So, out of her
childhood bedroom and with no business background, she founded
and built the retail company Terry, S.A. 20 years ago with her
husband Freddy.

And just like the best entrepreneurs could sell ice to Eskimos,
bringing the Brazilian brand Havaianas here revolutionized the
way Filipinos wore the _tsinelas—_by turning it from humble home
footwear staple into a trendy, and eventually, cult collectible
fashion essential. Now recognized as the "flip-flop queen,” Anne
was named one of Go Negosyo’s 55 Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs in
2016 and employs almost 300 people in her Great Place To
Work-certified company.

Get a mini-master class from her in this episode about
entrepreneurship as a mindset and attitude; its rewards and
challenges, empowering women, and creating one's own path in
business and in life.
