Beyond the business plan: how Michigan Women Forward is helping Flint entrepreneurs turn ideas into opportunity

FLINT, Michigan — Tanesia Greer began working at a hair salon as a shampoo assistant at just 14. Unaware of the future ahead of her, she watched as the salon owner grew her business from a service she provided out of her home into a successful salon. She fell in love with the freedom of leadership and unknowingly learned to build a business from scratch. At 16, Greer started working in a clothing store. She realized strict schedules and work breaks were too rigid compared to her salon experience. The entrepreneur in her had already awakened, and a traditional service-industry job no longer fit her skill set. After accepting an apprenticeship at another salon, she mastered the beauty industry. By 18, she was ready to invest in her dreams and opened her own salon in Berkley, Michigan. “I was born to be my own boss,” she proclaims.
