Mary E. Barnes
Title: Owner, Operator
Company: MB Ventures LLC
Location: Anamosa, IA United States
Mary Barnes has always been a business owner. She previously owned her own pizza parlor, but she had back surgery and could no longer do the physical labor, so she went on to find something she could run from home on the internet. She has experience building a business because she has learned from her own mistakes. She wants to help others looking to start their own businesses from making her same mistakes.
Ms. Barnes’ greatest career accomplishment was getting MB Ventures LLC up and running. She is so glad that she was able to find the right people to work with and the perfect companies to partner with. Looking to the future of the business, she hopes to eventually better organize it, and also hopes that it brings in the same amount of money her pizza parlor did so that her husband can retire.

Location: Mount Sinai, NY United States
After spending more than 40 years as a teacher for the Mount Sinai School District, Renee Petrola has decided to shift her focus to writing.

She received her Master’s degree in liberal studies from Stony Brook University, and actually completed 100 credits past what is required to receive a Master’s degree.
Ms. Petrola names her greatest achievement to be the legacy she has left with her students. She was also recognized for her participation in the Walt Whitman Poetry Contest, where her students also placed first two years in a row in the anthology category. She also accompanied her principal to Washington, D.C. to receive a Blue Ribbon Award, which is given to schools cited for exemplary high performance by the U.S. Department of Education. Throughout her career, she was recognized as an Exemplary Educator and Who’s Who Among Teachers.
