Institute for Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Education Partner
This week the UCCEO team met with Tammy and Lyle Woodrum, owners of Davie School Inn in Anna. Lyle and Tammy shared their story of how they met, their travels and how they became the current owners of Davie School Inn. Tammy and Lyle shared so much about how to run a succesful business including how to set yourself apart from your competition, how to get and retain customers and how important it is to focus on good customer service. Lyle also shared 3 things that he felt all young adults need to consider: 1. Travel abroad in order to get a different perspective of the world and your own country 2. Consider public service-do something to give back to your country 3. Be open to taking risks in your career-don't set your goals so stringent that you pass up on an opportunity. The team also toured a few rooms at the inn and immediately saw the difference between a room at Davie School Inn and a room at a typical hotel. Thank you so much, Lyle and Tammy, for spending the morning with UCCEO.
