Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lee Downey, founder of Lee’s Bees, located in Sherwood Park, AB, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Apitherapy Bees and custom honey infusions.
Tell us about yourself
I knew bees helped the sick before I became sick, so I had no choice but to get out of bed and heal after acquiring the illness.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Surviving cancer was a big accomplishment, yet helping sick people recover their lives backbeats any of my accomplishments.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Understanding every problem is a misdiagnosed solution, as failure isn’t an option.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don’t start if you are going to quit.
- Don’t waste resources.
- Stay healthy as you can’t be wealthy if you are not healthy.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Things are only impossible until you change the pronunciation to I’m possible.
