Denton Record-Chronicle
Enterprising V oices
Learning from others leads to success
*
t Texas Woman’s Uni-
versity, our motto is
__“We learn to do by
doing.” I extend this credo to
successful business ownership
by evoking Voltaire, who once
said, “Is there anyone so wise
as to leam by the experience
of others?”
While there are many
business owners who’ve lived
this credo, one I’ve had the
privilege of getting to know is
Cindy Tysinger, owner and
founder of Global Solutions
and Technology Inc., or
GSATi, in Denton.
Cindy’s story is a familiar
one, as we both worked at
GTE at the same time, yet
never met. In her career, Cin-
dy has experienced both the
client side and the building
side of technology solutions —
from the ground up. That led
her to start GSATi to provide
customers with a competitive
advantage through technology
solutions. Cindy is a stellar
example of the courage and
tenacity it takes to become a
business owner.
And then there’s Nancy
Henger, CEO of Brilliant
Fulfillment in Carrollton.
Brilliant Fulfillment specializ-
es in the logistics of products
that require an air-condi-
tioned environment to avoid
damage, such as beauty prod-
ucts.

Brilliant Fulfillment is cele-
brating its third anniversary
and moving from a 12,000-
square-foot warehouse to a
40,000-square-foot ware-
house.
Cindy and Nancy exemplify
the many women who desire
the independence of business
ownership by being as smart
and capable as possible, and
by learning first from some-
one else — their past employ-

If you are considering
opening a business, what
lessons are you gathering right
now from your employer? If
not from the employer you are
with, then what about visiting
a business similar to your
business concept?
If you are unable to ob-
serve some operation similar
to your business concept,
think of the system your idea
fits in and visit or investigate
that system.
Technology firms serving
specific needs abound, but
GSATi thought of technology
as a competitive advantage.
Warehousing/logistics is a hot
specialty as well, but thinking
of cosmetics as a system
sparked the concept for Bril-
liant Fulfillment to specialize
in air-conditioned logistics.
A common characteristic of
business owners who thrive is
visit http://twu.edu/hub.
that they continuously leam.
At TWU’s new center for
women in business, The Hub,
opportunities abound for
women to learn from others to
start their own business. The
Hub is assisting women in the
community through outreach
training, events, mentoring,
coaching, connecting to re-
sources and networking.
The Hub makes TWU the
first in the state to offer in-
coming first-year students a
scholarship if they want to
own a business in Texas. This
is the first TWU scholarship
supporting business owner-
ship interests made possible
through special funding by the
state of Texas to help women
innovate and launch busi-
nesses.
The Hub will coach and
mentor students throughout
their academic career and
beyond to help ensure their
success.
We do all of this because
we know that 85 percent of
women who connect through
meaningful training and
coaching experiences for their
business learn ways to work
together to generate business
growth. And because the
success of female business
owners is good for our com-
munity, state, country and our
economy.

join us on our journey, please

the nation in woman-owned
businesses. She can be

Before jumping into busi-
ness ownership, Nancy
worked for a privately owned
firm. There, she learned the
ins and outs and ups and
downs of receiving, warehous-
ing, picking, packaging and
shipping — collectively known
as logistics.

at 207 S. Bell Ave. The restau-
rant features Latin street food
like empanadas and tacos from
a chef who spent a year work-
ing in a Michelin three-star
restaurant in Spain.
Changes are underway at
Golden Triangle Mall: Victo-
ria’s Secret is moving to a
larger spot within the mall Oct.
2L Victoria’s Secret’s old store-
front is under construction to
become a new Bath & Body
Works store that will be able
to hold the White Bam candle
and fragrance line.
After 12 years in business,
El Guapo’s Tex-Mex closed
abruptly in July. The restaurant
at 419 S. Elm St. was known
for its food and as a political
hangout and hot spot, hosting
the two most recent governors.
Davis Purity Bakery also
closed in July, after employees
spent weeks quietly telling their
regular customers. The bakery
was open for 63 years and
nearly every longtime resident
has a story about the place, like
Mayor Chris Watts fondly
remembering eating its dough-
nuts as a child — glazed and
with chocolate frosting.
Rockwall-based Mexican
restaurant Chiloso is now
open on Loop 288, across the
street from Golden Triangle
Mall. The fast-casual concept
features build-your-own na-
chos, burritos and tacos.
Arcade bar Game Chang-
ers Sports & Arcade Grill is
now open on West Mulberry
Street, taking up most of the
space that was Hailey’s Club.
The place is full of arcade
games, with more on the way.
Owners Jennifer Gibbs and
Adam Arnold also own neigh-
boring bar Dusty’s, and are
finalizing a third bar next door:
1933 Spirits and Small Plates.
Erbert & Gerbert’s, a
sandwich shop from the Mid-
west, opened at 119 Ave. A. This
will be the first franchise in the
Denton area, and the restau-
rant features sub sandwiches,
soups and chili.
