Women Entrepreneurs Network in Armenia

Business Success Formula:
Break the stereotypes and strive for success

I have always enjoyed treating people. Welcoming guests and treating the latter with great honour has always been a huge joy for me. I could have never thought that it would be possible to have my own business where I would welcome and treat my guests. Odzun, being very rich in splendid tourist attractions, has never had lack of tourists. However, finding an appropriate dwelling has always posed problems and hence I decided to take up the initiative.
My success story initiated with my participation in business courses organized by the AYWA in the framework of the “Social and Economic Empowerment of Women in Armenia” project which was funded by the EU .
Now I am confident in stating that success is a tangible value and for having success we need more organizations like AYWA, professional specialists which would guide and assist starting women entrepreneurs.
The existence of strong and loyal people beside you is of utmost importance. It is an additional motivation for reaching success. Thanks to this project I have harvested much business knowledge and was awarded a grant and as an outcome currently I have my own guest-house business in Odzun.
My business allows for welcoming tourists from all over the world. The flow of tourists will be beneficial not only for my business but for the community as a whole.
