KEY TAKEAWAYS Irene: Tell us a little bit about your backstory? Marcia: My father introduced myself and my sisters to singing at an early age. We formed a successful gospel group (The Escoffery sisters) and won several awards. We secured a recording deal with Atlantic records and from an early age dealt with things professionally and with an entrepreneurial mindset. Irene: How have you instilled your entrepreneurial mindset in your daughter? Marcia: I believe I have done it very unconsciously, however, there has been a real nurturing of doing things the right way, being precise, being polite and having manners were all communicated at an early age. I have realised that the foundations of how I was raised were carried right through to myself raising my own daughter. Irene: What does Raising Successful Kids mean to you? Marcia: It means raising a young person to make a positive impact on the world. To think about others and to consider all opportunities available to them, you don’t simply need to follow the crowd.

She wanted to do her own thing and was aware of what she wanted to achieve.” “Her ethos is also ethical and she is now creating her own naturally made eyeshadows” “I make sure she is around people that are forward thinking, that’s my job as a mother” “The friends that she does have are a reflection of her” ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child & shares a passion with her husband, to see children succeed.
