Marie-Céline Mbousnoum
Executive
When my husband found himself out of work, he asked me to help him launch a new business in metallurgy. At first, I didn't want to, because for me it was an unknown field, and there were only men in this business. Besides, I had legal training, and that was the most attractive profession for me.
In our new business, my husband planned and supervised the execution of the work. I did the marketing and looked for new customers. I also took care of administrative responsibilities, banking, and personnel management — the personnel being entirely male.
To accomplish this, I reached out to God. I often read the Bible and Science and Health. I realized that prayer and radical confidence in God bring practical solutions to any business problem — job insecurity, a career in jeopardy, or the survival of a company. In our case, it was a matter of survival — for our company and ourselves.
