Entrepreneur Interviews conducted by Sean Miller
In order to find the source of entrepreneurial motivation, which I refer to as the “It Factor” in my article published on Ezine (http://ezinearticles.com/?Some-Food-for-Thought:-The-It-Factor&id=6600358), I interviewed several successful entrepreneurs from all walks of business. Each person was unique, but all impressed with their unwavering drive and desire to strike their own path. Here are the men and women who inspired me through their words.
Mohammed Hussein is the owner of Ummah Couture Muslim clothing, www.ummahcouture.com, an online retailer dedicated to providing a one stop shop for Middle Eastern clothes and accessories. He is also the founder of several up and coming startups to include www.fromlocal.com, an online forum for small local retailers to sell their products to the masses, and www.pledgedeals.com, a website dedicated to supporting local broadcasting stations through the sale of large group deals, an idea similar to the Groupon concept. Please follow this link for the interview conducted with Mr. Hussein. Interview with Mohammed Hussein
