Iris Apfel says young women must grab opportunity

 

UNITED NATIONS - Fashion icon and interior decorator Iris Apfel, at age 95, has some advice for young female entrepreneurs: When opportunity presents itself, take it and run with it.

 

"Taking opportunity and running is very important, because I never had a business plan in my life. Things just came along and I grabbed them," Apfel said Friday at the Women's Entrepreneurship Day conference at the United Nations.

 

According to organizers, Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED) is a day celebrated in 144 countries on Nov. 19. It's also the name of an organization that seeks to eliminate poverty by empowering, celebrating and supporting women in business worldwide.
