She Had A Vision
This podcast is a community for women who are current or aspiring entrepreneurs or visionaries because they will hear from real, everyday female small business owners, rather than celebrities or big brands on what it really means to start and grow a business. Each episode focuses on the lessons learned on owning a small business, so one can feel better equipped with the resources and information on how to take that first scary step into launching a business, growing it and maintaining its value for years to come. Starting your own business takes grit, but also an insane amount of courage. So for the listeners if you are dreaming about your small business while currently working your day job, I hope my series of interviews will make your dream become a reality. Let's explore these amazing stories how these women had a vision and made things happen.

Mary Scott Jameson
Taylor Simmons, is the designer and owner of Coco Shop, a resort wear clothing brand which was first established on the island of Antigua in 1949. Taylor relaunched the brand in 2019 carrying on the historical silhouettes and style and beautiful island prints that have been so beloved by the island’s residents for over 75 years. She has recreated the entire operation in New York while holding onto the precious ties to the beautiful Antigua. We discussed the importance of just starting, buying back time with outsourcing, trademark lessons learned, and how to build confidence along the way. Like any company it was a good reminder that it takes time to build your product to perfection and it is always worth the wait!
