I started Rainie Howard Enterprises in 2013, 7 years ago.

What inspired you to own your own business?

My mother is an entrepreneur, and she was a big role model for me growing up. I have
always been creative, and a leader. After working for other companies and growing in
leadership roles it helped me grow and gain more confidence to branch out on my own.

Jamaica. It is very beautiful, and it is interesting to see the diversity and culture they have.

Do you have any advice based on your area of expertise?

My advice would be for business owners to make sure they are present online. Being online in today's society is critical and it truly helps to be available to your audience.

If you could work anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I would choose Hollywood California, because it is close to the filming industry.

How has working in a shared work space influenced your business?

It has influenced me to meet new and like minded business owners.

What is your favorite restaurant from the St. Louis area?

If I had to pick, it would be between Landry's Seafood and Brio.

I believe everyone should dream big and take risks. Doing something that challenges you
can be exciting.
