Amber Mac can recall the exact day when she knew she needed to become an entreprenuer. It was December 17th, 2004. Her grandmother was sick in the hospital and when she felt she needed to be by her grandma’s side, she was instead on a conference call for her current job. It was in that moment when she decided to hang up and take control of her life. She realized that she wanted only herself to be in control of her own destiny.
