Megan Duckett left her Aussie homeland at 19 for a new life in the United States. Now, two decades later, she runs Sew What Inc, a drapery business designing stage show sets for major music stars like Britney Spears, Madonna, Kelly Clarkson and Sting.
Megan admits it all happened by chance, with just $2,000 to get started and no college education behind her.

- Letting go
- Marketing funds
- Insurance rates
- Social media
