Jessie Goldenberg is in her mid 20’s, driving a truck around New York City. She is an entrepreneur.
It’s not just a normal truck however, it is a mobile clothing store. Goldenberg sells Bohemian style clothes and accessories from her tan colored truck rain or shine, winter or summer. Her business is called Nomad.
Graduating from New York University’s film program, Jessie set her career path at CBS but wanted to start her own fashion boutique, even though she couldn’t because she lacked the funds. But that doesn’t stop a good entrepreneur. She raised the money herself to start a fashion truck. And so the Nomad was born in 2013, with high enough profits to pay back her start up expenses.
Goldenberg has advice for young entrepreneurs. When she was interviewed by the Financial Post, she said,
“One thing I’ve learned is that your 20s are a time to take and embrace risks. I’m living proof that it’s possible to be ‘livin’ the dream’ and be successful. With no family to feed and no dependents counting on you, your 20s are without a doubt the years to take a leap and pursue your passion!”
It is encouraging to see a young entrepreneur taking her career in her own hands and doing what she always wanted.
