- “We guarantee our customers that we will delivery them a 10% success ratio.”
- “There’s a misconception among entrepreneurs that you only go out of business because there’s not enough business.”
- Cheryl’s Win-Win-Win philosophy: is this a Win for my customer? Will it be a Win for their target audience? Will it be a Win for Idea Factor?
- “The time that I was being the technician was zapping my energy to pour into it the entrepreneurship which was really where I belong.”
- “We have a process behind everything, not visible to our clients, but very visible to us. What’s happened since we’ve done that is we have a precision effort to every campaign that we launch.”
- “For years I often said certain things were difficult for me because I couldn’t tap into the Old Boys’ network.”
- “If you don’t understand your goal, you can’t create a path to get to it.”
- “I already know what my legacy is going to be, and it’s what I always wanted. That is to pass over the reigns of Idea Factor to another female entrepreneur. I’m excited that it’s not only a female entrepreneur, but also a woman of colour.”
