Shari Fitzpatrick, founder of Shari's Berries, and keynote speaker at #WomeninAuto2017

No entrepreneurial experience but a whole lot of passion, inspiration, and faith = a thriving global brand. You don't have to be an expert to be a huge success in whatever business you're in. 

A key insight from Shari today is that you are going to go through difficult times. When her business hit a major road bump due to a soured business partnership, she held to this statement:  "Unforgiveness does more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than the object on which it is poured." 

A few other key insights that helped Shari get where she is today:
-Get your priorities straight
-Love what you do and be passionate about it
-Put out the absolute highest-quality product you possibly can
-Treat your employees right; the way you treat your employees = the way your employees will treat your customers!
