The Skillwork Forum, we had the pleasure of hosting Tessa Porter, the visionary founder of Sprinkk. This engaging conversation takes us into Tessa's entrepreneurial journey, offering valuable insights into the world of startups and innovation in the skilled trades sector.
Building a Positive Team Culture
One of the key takeaways from our discussion with Tessa is her emphasis on creating a positive team culture. As the founder of Sprinkk, Tessa has the unique opportunity to shape the company’s culture from the ground up. She believes that fostering an environment where team members are excited to contribute, share ideas, and learn from failures is crucial to driving innovation. This perspective is particularly relevant for business owners and leaders in the skilled trades, where team dynamics can significantly impact overall success.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Tessa’s advice to those considering entrepreneurship is both practical and inspiring. She encourages taking small, incremental steps rather than making drastic changes all at once. By starting with manageable actions and gradually building momentum, entrepreneurs can navigate their journey more effectively and adapt to new opportunities as they arise. This approach not only mitigates risks but also helps in fine-tuning business ideas.
Women in Entrepreneurship
Another compelling aspect of our conversation was Tessa’s reflections on being a female entrepreneur in traditionally male-dominated fields. She shared her experiences of breaking through industry norms and emphasized that gender should not dictate career possibilities. Tessa’s story serves as a powerful reminder that persistence and passion can overcome barriers, inspiring more women to pursue careers in skilled trades and entrepreneurship.
