We had the good fortune of connecting with Erica Neal and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erica, what role has risk played in your life or career?
My motto is BET ON YOU!!! If you don’t, who will ? It is very important to take risk because you never know the outcome unless you take risk and get uncomfortable I decided I needed to BET on myself and family at the time I had been laid off twice and after me and my family started Neals Party I was laid off for the 3rd time. It was nothing but GOD that I had took a BET ON ME and my family. Me & my husband wanted our boys to have a head start in life.

What should our readers know about your business?
Neals party rentals is a family based business based out of Riverside, Ca. We rent out Tables, chairs and provide everything you need to have a paint & unwind Party excluding the alcohol. We are professional and provide amazing customer service to the inland empire. What sets us apart is we incorporate our children in everything we do so they can get the full aspect of how the business operates. We are most proud of teaching our sons at an early age about entrepreneurship . We are excited for the new and upcoming items we will be adding to our business to bring more smiles to our customers faces. when we first got started we had no clue on what to do but we figured it out along the way by introducing new policies & setting standards to implement. It was not easy but it was worth it 100%. We invested little by little until we were able to get a good amount of tables and chairs, we rented what we had at the time to bring in revenue. A lesson we learned was to never take anything personal and don’t bend the rules this is a business rules must apply to run a successful business. Never give up I would have never thought we would have served over 100 families when visioning this business but we did and have faith!! We now offer a course to teach you how to start a party rental learn from our mistakes!!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to Santa Monica Beach to eat on the pier and enjoy a nice bike ride on the beach. Night life I would go to Chino Skating Ring and enjoy adults only session.

Ontario Mills to do much needed shopping and enjoy lunch at Blazing Crab in Redlands , there food is so amazing.

The food lab in riverside has many options to choose from and a bar. we could then walk around in downtown riverside and sight see.
