Abigail Becomes One of the First Academy Members in Argentina

Name of Business: Odetta

Nature of Business: Retail Clothing Store

Country: Argentina

After working many years as an employee, Abigail decided to start her own business sewing and selling dresses. During this time, Abigail learned about the Academy and contacted area leaders with the hope of having the Academy come to her home country of Argentina. A year later, Abigail became one of the first Academy members in her country.

Abigail says, “I feel very happy because I can interact with other entrepreneurs. Starting my own business has helped me to know what information they are going to need to be able to grow their business faster. One of the things I have learned at the Academy is the importance of knowing the break-even point for my business, which helps me to know how much I need to sell to cover all business expenses. One of the things that I thought was fantastic about being in the Academy was the concept of having written agreements. The truth is that would never have occurred to me, and it solves problems beforehand. Right now, I’m working on keeping good records. Due to the Academy, I can say you will have the support you need, and you will be helped in the creation of a successful business.”
