Even though she works full-time at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Michelle Sekul decided to pursue her passion on the side: decorating for parties. “I love celebrations and think they’re not complete without festive décor,” she explains. “I always wanted to be a party planner, but realized I had a talent for designing balloon garlands after a friend taught me some very basic balloon skills.”
Sekul asked a friend if she could decorate for her birthday party. “After her party, I started getting calls to do parties for other people and decided that I could do this,” Sekul says.
Sekul’s advice for future business women is to just do it! “Don’t be afraid to fail, because you will. It is all trial and error and it’s scary at times, but you can do it!”
