7-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams didn’t have a great start to the 2021 tennis season. Although she showed some fighting spirit, she lost in the second round of the Australian Open 2021 in straight sets. What was really surprising was that Venus could only win a single game in the entire match.
Besides being a great tennis player, Venus Williams has also established herself as a successful entrepreneur over the years. Today, she runs an interior designing firm called ‘V Starr’ which has worked on many projects. Her company recently built the beautiful home of Serena Williams.
In a recent podcast, Venus revealed how being an athlete helped her become an entrepreneur. She believes that as a tennis player she learned many things on the court that helped her become a good businesswoman.

“I don’t really think that I really really realize that until you start getting more into management. You start to realize, oh okay well, the things I’m trying to build with my team… are the things that I learned on the court,” said the elder Williams’ sister.
Williams claimed that she was able to push herself into the business world because of her keen interest in management. In her earlier interviews, she has claimed on numerous occasions that it was her father who backed her consistently when she had newly started her business.
