Author quotes
It takes hard work, 12 to 18-hour days, if the business requires it. You can’t really become successful doing half days or not putting a lot of effort into it.
I think you need to be quite serious and have an idea that you’re passionate about…people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you’re doing it.
Now that the business has got some success behind it, the people on the team really respect my position in the business and how I’ve built it.

Why LoA loves it….
They say that to start a successful business, you have to see an opportunity gap and then rush to fill it with your solution - and it doesn’t matter what age you are when you see that gap and choose the path to entrepreneurship. For Liv Conlon, she saw the entrepreneurial bug bite early in her life. Today she is an inspiration for so many other young women to follow in her footsteps, seeing that everything is possible if you have a strong business idea and the passion to act on it. Liv is a great example of thinking big, working hard to make things happen, and turning a good idea into a successful business. The world needs more young women entrepreneurs like her. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo of Lionesses of Africa
