Dolly Parton, an iconic figure in the music industry, celebrates her birthday today, and her remarkable business legacy offers valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs. Known for her vibrant personality and philanthropic efforts, Parton has demonstrated that success is not just about talent but also about strategic thinking and resilience.
