What was your motivation to start your own business?
What was your motivation to start your own business?
I have always been driven and my passion is to help others succeed as I continue to learn, grow, and be successful. I want to build a legacy for my children and grandchildren. The motivation was to break down barriers, generational curses, allow myself to
be the person I am destined to be in the world, and provide the opportunity to pay it all forward.
What path did you take to get to where you are now?
I originally believed that I wanted to be a CFO. My focus was Accounting. I started as an Accounting Clerk for a Law Firm. I then started working two or three jobs at a time to make ends meet. One of then included being a Guest Service Agent for a hotel. I worked my way up to Accounting Manager. I was promoted to Regional Accounting Manager. I realized I enjoyed Accounting but did not feel passionate about it. I shifted to Operations and was promoted to Assistant General Manager. Now I am a General Manager. I have been with my Company for eight years. I have been on a personal development journey as well. It pertinent that I continually grow and heal to be who I need to be in the world.
