We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mark Blanton. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mark below.
Mark, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
My paternal grandfather owned his own garage, complete with 24 hour wrecker service. I spent a couple of weeks every summer with him and I saw how hard he worked, around the clock. He was very successful at what he did and was also highly respected in his community. When I had an opportunity in my adult life to start my own small business, it occurred to me that I was following in my grandfather’s footsteps. I knew I would have to have a solid plan, work harder than I ever had before, rely on myself, and slowly build my business. 32 years ago, I established Greensboro Jewelers from the ground up…I thank my grandfather’s drive for contributing to my success.
