Owen Coleman’s Story of Caille Blanc Villa Creation, Saint Lucia, West Indies
I had no idea that I would become a designer, businessman, and entrepreneur. My experiences led me from the Bronx on a worldwide journey — an amazing career working on exciting projects and meeting wonderful people in the design field, many of whom became my friends and partners.
It was true that I had a very special feeling toward my clients. If I was chosen to work on their projects, I would treat them like royalty. Many of these client relationships turned into personal friendships that have lasted a lifetime.
I faced obstacles in my childhood and business life that caused me much distress, but I always persevered and found my way back to success. Along the way I had a lot of fun.
I would like to share my crazy experiences with you so that you might benefit from what I have learned since I started my first design company at age twenty-eight. Here are some of the key take-aways from my story —
• How friendship empowers business partnerships
• The importance of a trusted mentor
• How to start and grow a successful design company
• How to hire and retain the best and most talented staff
• The importance of personality to business success
• How to evolve a company as technologies change
• How to take advantage of unexpected opportunities
• The importance of understanding your own strengths and weaknesses
• How to swim in sea of business sharks
• There’s a right way and a wrong way to treat people
• How to still have fun while working hard

Owen, I hope this note finds you well and enjoying life!
I wanted to let you know that I bought "Shaping Brands" on the Apple bookstore.
RIVETING!
It was wonderful to learn more about your amazing family and life journey.
And I have to say, I found Chapters 18 & 19 to be spot on and very insightful. :)
WELL DONE!
