Vivienne Kjono believes we are the caps of our own potential. By dismantling self-imposed restrictions, anyone can move towards achieving life without limits. As she explains, “everyone has potential, but sometimes we get caught up in the noise of the world”; a profound sentiment reflecting how many people inadvertently hold themselves back.

Through her storytelling, Kjono illustrates the undeniable power of perseverance alongside strategic networking. Her entrepreneurial ventures—like placing artists with Absolute Vodka or procuring TGI Fridays’ franchises—unequivocally showcase resilience and the art of connecting with the right people.

Cultivating robust professional networks—such as through chambers of commerce—emerges as another fruitful strategy for advancing one’s aspirations. Kjono’s experience resonates with the invaluable lesson: your phone, or network, is indeed your friend.
