Clarence Brantley is a successful entrepreneur who, since the mid-1970s, has started several successful businesses.
His earliest business was ownership of beauty salons in Georgia and Alabama. He is a licensed professional hair stylist and serviced more than fifteen hundred clients over a period of nearly twenty years. While operating his salons, he started a new venture called Weegoo Construction Company, a real estate development firm. He later established a used car dealership and repair center called Greenbriar Automotive.
There are certain character traits common to many entrepreneurs. One of the most important is the ability to overcome the fear of the unknown. The uncertainty that comes with starting a new business can be enough to hold many people back. But the entrepreneurial spirit can be developed. And what it takes to get started is a passion for the process of creating a business.
Entrepreneurs like Clarence Brantley are able to see business concepts, and what they like to do is bring those concepts to life. For most of them, that’s what it is all about: not so much the money they might make, but the thrill of bringing a concept or vision from its inception to fruition. To an entrepreneur, this desire is far greater than any fear of failure. In fact, they are more likely to worry about bringing their vision to life far more than they are likely to worry about it not working out.
Clarence Brantley is still involved in real estate development. He makes his home in the Atlanta, Georgia area, where he also enjoys spending time with his family and pursuing his interest in flying small, single engine planes.
