This morning I had a pleasant call with Becky Corzilius to kick off the first interview for the blog.
So the basics....
Name: Becky Corzilius
Spouse: Robert Clauss (23 years)
Home: Mt. Prospect, IL
College: Eastern Illinois University (Charleston, IL)
Becky was very modest on her accomplishments but I see her as a very successful business woman and quite the entreprenuer. As I understand it, she has a couple of businesses up and running at the moment, but her primary business has been operational for 18 years. Her business, Becky & Company, involves being an independent sales representitive for the gift industry. She even has a showroom in the prestigeous Merchadise Mart in Chicago on the gift floors. (Go Becky!) She also has a 3 year old business that started as a hobby and has now taken on a life of its own. The company is a wholesale candle company called Crash Candles. I am going to have to check my manly hood and say these are some really sweet candles. Unfortanately, Crash Candles are only available at higher end gift shops so guess I won't see them at the local WalMart. So how does our senior year book editor and also her college year book editor as well wind up to be in business for herself? It turns out her first job out of college was working for a yearbook publishing company in Michagan. This opportunity lasted for two years before her then boss informed her she didn't play well with others and had a problem with authority!!! Who would have thought our mild mannered Becky Jane would have a problem with authority. So she packed herself up and moved back to Chicago and the rest is as they say......history.
