Women in Business Profile — Karlene Sinclair-Robinson

Mrs. Karlene Sinclair-Robinson has been chosen to be our Women in Business Profile for the month of July. We share her story with you so that you too can strive to successfully achieve your entrepreneurial dream. We hope that our business profiles would continue to serve as a vehicle through which you are inspired and motivated to start your own business, and to those with a business, we hope that you continue to strive and grow, taking your entrepreneurial venture into a profitable and sustainable business. Karlene Sinclair-Robinson is an alternative financing expert and business consultant who is dedicated to entrepreneurship. Karlene is the owner and manager of KSR Solutions, LLC and is also the author of The Small Business Owner’s Guide to Alternative Funding. She is located in Virginia, in the United States of America.

Ms. Sinclair-Robinson has been in business for over 9 years, and her business goal is to meet the business and financing needs of small business owners by providing solutions that will meet their present and future goals. In addition to being a businesswoman and author, Mrs. Karlene Sinclair-Robinson also notes

I am a mom to two wonderful kids, a son and daughter. I am a big supporter of families with special needs children as my son has autism along with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I love what I do, whether I'm assisting my clients or I am playing with my children.

Entrepreneurship seems to have found Ms. Sinclair-Robinson. It wasn’t after many years working in several fields including, education, Desktop publishing, the pharmaceutical industry, health care, human resources and business funding that she “ventured” into entrepreneurship. Karlene notes that:

I ventured into the entrepreneurial world while I was pregnant with my son who is 9-year old. I believe being pregnant shifted my focus from being an employee to being an entrepreneur. After he was born, it became obvious that I had to move in that direction.

Motherhood and the need to be present in her baby’s life and the economic factor –– the need to support herself, were the two deciding factors in the choice that Karlene made to choose entrepreneurship rather than continuing to work for others in the government or private sector. Like so many women in business, having a child or children often facilitates the choice to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship not only provides women with more time to spend with their children, but it also gives them the flexibility, regarding when and how they work thus enabling them with the opportunity to find an economic avenue to facilitate the family’s growth and at the same time help them to play a very pivotal role in the rearing of their children. Mrs. Sinclair-Robinson also shared with me that:

Prior to starting my funding consulting business, I worked full-time in the healthcare sector while trying to operate two other businesses at different times. Not being able to devote enough time to the businesses while working full-time and planning to start a family, were detrimental to the success of the first two start-ups. I felt that being able to work from home and being there for my son, were two of the best things to do instead of working full-time for someone else.
