165: "You have to stick with it. Take the bumps, the bruises, the lessons, and then scale. Keep moving forward." Deon Green's story of beauty, art, and business

Can you imagine sustaining a business during a global pandemic and a relocation? Well, The Rosie Network's 2021 Service2CEO Graduate and Founder of Dee Luxe Nails, LLC. Deon Green has.

Jen Amos listens to Deon "Dee" Green as she shares her journey as an entrepreneur, military spouse, and veteran. She started her nail art business after retiring from 22 years in the military. At first, she took in-person clients at her home nail studio. Then, she pivoted to selling custom, press-on nails online when the pandemic hit. Dee shares how The Rosie Network helped her develop more tools, such as a pitch deck, to grow her business. In reflecting on her journey, she encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to find their passion, seek out a mentor, and find their "business bestie."
