Lisa Wu Hartwell Gets Down to Business
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}iMag: What are your three business tips for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Lisa:
1. Get as much information as possible on your career choice. Research and network with those that are in the same field.
2. Try to get a mentor or an internship if possible. Hands on experience is invaluable.
3. Set goals, write them down, and execute.
iMag: How did you get started as a businesswoman?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lisa: I started conducting business at an early age. I would negotiate wages, per diems, wardrobe, etc. for concerts that my sister and I would dance in. I think I was just born this way. I realized early on that I didn't like working for anyone and that I wanted to have a job that I was passionate about.
iMag: How do you juggle your career and family?
Lisa: I'm blessed with a supportive husband and a great team. All of my family members and my daytime nanny (Mimi) help us to achieve our goals. Our companies are all family oriented. I'm very thankful and blessed.

Kim:
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}1. Your children should always be first.
2. If the kids don't like him, leave him.
3. Be true to who you are and always love yourself first.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}iMag: Why is it so important to keep your relationship private on the show?
Kim: I have watched numerous reality TV shows and most couples ended in divorce — Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, etc. I wanted to keep this part of my life private, because it is. It's important to my children and I that my relationship stays sacred. He is incredible to my children as well as myself. It was MY decision to keep him as a secret. I am not ready to share him with the world. He is a high profile.... wish I would tell you, huh? Maybe sooner than later he will be revealed but that time won't come until I feel comfortable and strong enough in my relationship to do so.
iMag: What advice do you have for someone pursuing a career in entertainment?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kim: DONT READ THE BLOGS!! Chase your dreams, anything and everything is attainable. Don't worry about the people in your past, there is a reason they didn't make it into your future. Where there is a will there is a way, follow your heart. Lastly remember who you WERE before you became who you are. Your roots will always be the most important relationship in your life.
