Entrepreneur of the Week: Lara Tarakjian of Silkor
Channel: Wamda
Date: 30/11/2012

Lara Tarakjian, the co-founder of Lebanese beauty chain and laser hair removal salon Silkor, and also a graduate of the Executive MBA program at the American University of Beirut, discusses how she endured the early days of being entrepreneur and worked hard to build the brand since the age of 19.

She reflects upon the moment when she thought Silkor might be successful, the challenges of expanding in the region and in Lebanon, and her advice for entrepreneurs.  

"Just don't listen to people," she says. "If you have a dream, just go for it. Have faith, have passion, and there is a lot of hard work involved. When I was 18, there are a lot of things I didn't do. I missed a lot of fun opportunities because I was here. But today I'm very happy."
