ENTREPRENEURSHIP - Abstract
ENTREPRENEURIAL impulses can be stirred to life by the most unexpected influences. In Donna Young's case, it was culture shock. Ms. Young grew up on the sparsely populated Andros Island in the Bahamas with 10 siblings and had long pursued a professional career. But after she married Larry Young, an architect, and moved to Epping, N.H., in 2003, she struggled to adjust to New England's taciturn ways. ''I was the only black woman in my work place,'' she said. ''A lot of the time, I felt I didn't fit in. I felt I had to be best at everything I did.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
