Passions: “I’m passionate about ideas because it’s a by-product of imagination. I believe that’s why I enjoy reading and writing because it allows imagination to flourish and ideas to be created. I’m also very much sure that I would want to embark on being an entrepreneur simply because I have lots of ideas I want to actualize.”

Niki and I met on the Twittersphere of course!  Isn’t that where we meet all of our new friends nowadays?

You’re going to absolutely love this interview because she’s such a lovely girl with some really cool entrepreneurial dreams.  Though she was shy to tell us at first, she opened up and told us about her coffee shop/book shop business idea.  After watching the interview, I really hope that you will leave Niki a comment encouraging her to pursue her startup dreams and to get a Penguin tattoo on her wrist!

Sound random?  Not at all if you watch the interview

Enjoy!
