"What I love is the journey," says Shelley Klingerman. "What I seek isn't the end but the journey."
Shelley Klingerman shared characteristics of an entrepreneur and the challenges they experience on the journey. An entrepreneur herself, Shelley even shared ways one can support an entrepreneur.
After 18 years at Sony in Terre Haute, Shelley broke from corporate work to pursue many different ventures of her own. She opened a yoga studio, was a personal trainer, owned and operated a boutique, produced a documentary, and authored a book. Ask Shelley, and she would tell you she knew next to nothing about what she ventured into...but she learned.
In 2015, Shelley began a non-profit co-working space called Launch, to provide a collaborative workspace for freelancers, independents, and start-ups. In 2023, Launch merged with The Station Coworking, doubling the size of the work space, offering a kitchen, conference area, work stations, and more. CEO often uses The Station as a class venue.
Shelley is the sister of the late FBI task force officer Greg Ferency. Out of the tragic events of his fatal shooting, Greg's sister felt she had to do something. The result was Project Never Broken, a non-profit she began to support law enforcement and honor their resiliency. Ninety minutes of class weren't enough time to learn all Shelley had to share, but she did leave CEO students with these words as an entrepreneur herself: Your network is your net worth.
