My mission is to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with inspiration and actionable advice so you can build your own hugely profitable and meaningful business.
I believe that we can not only discover that we do in fact have meaningful destiny and purpose in this life, but also that it is never too late to discover who were ultimately created to be.
I love to help others discover the treasure that is locked inside of them, and to show them that they are fully capable of achieving whatever goal they set for themselves, I am 100% proof of it!
AS FEATURED IN:
I definitely didn't get here overnight though.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no 'magic formula' to success. Success takes work, dedication, and focus. More importantly, it takes a plan of action. There is no mystical way to obtain financial freedom, except by winning the lottery. But studies have shown, people who come into sudden 'riches' seldom maintain that status and within a couple of years or less, find themselves back in the financial situation they were in prior. I actually had greater chances of being in a car accident than winning the lottery, so the next best thing was to create my own wealth!
No more waiting for the 11 o'clock news lottery drawing to wish my way out of the bondage of building someone else's dream and generational wealth. I had to resolve within myself that I too was capable of building wealth, in fact, I had so much proof of it, every day I went to work to ensure the owner of the company's wealth was intact and the business running smoothly.
But it seemed like every single idea I had failed miserably. I couldn't grow or sustain my businesses and certainly could not take care of 3 children. However, I didn't give up, in fact, every time I tried to throw in the towel, something in me would cause me to do it again, try again. I kept having idea after idea, see, being an entrepreneur was in me, it was what I was born to be and to do!
Consistent hard work leads to SUCCESS.

What's more, I did it differently than most...
Despite what the 'gurus' told you, you don't have to join a $20K mastermind to launch a successful business. Furthermore, what most coaches are afraid to tell you is that it will take dedication, consistency, and skill to build a business that will support your lifestyle goals.
I continued to work full-time while learning the necessary skills and strategies I needed to grow a sustainable business. I started small, regulated my pace in order to avoid 'burnout', and more importantly, I shut out the voices of all the 'fad gurus' who were promising the moon and magic pills. Being a believer in education and a lifelong learner, I am not afraid to invest in education, mentoring from 'qualified' experts, and putting in the elbow grease to get the results I desired.
It doesn't matter if no one else believes in you.
The number one thing that keeps me working and showing up is that I have a vision! I believe in vision, that it is the keystone to living the life you dream. I also believe in writing the vision, speaking the vision, and strategic planning. These are keys used by some of the most successful corporate leaders and entrepreneurs today! It takes GRIT and FAITH in YOURSELF and what YOU envision for your future to keep you going in those times of opposition.
The key to BELIEVING in yourself is NOT having an inflated or false image of yourself and your dreams, but TAKING an HONEST assessment of where you are now in relation to your goals and having the willingness to 'make up the gap' through education, training, mentoring, or maybe just hiring someone who can fill the gap!
My MOTTO is "Everything is work-out-able' which leaves no doubt that you CAN and WILL be SUCCESSFUL!
