Why did you start your business?

I started my entrepreneurial journey when we became homeless in 2015 with our 2 toddlers & newborn baby. I figured -- why not start now? I have nothing to lose! I'm already at the bottom!! It started with in home personal training & calculating people's macronutrition!

What challenges did/have you faced?

I've faced SO many challenges - but I believe challenges are on the same road as success - if you aren't facing challenges - you aren't headed in the right direction! Some of the challenges include: repeating the cycle of poverty over and over and over again....switching passions/businesses & transitioning....juggling 4 kids as a stay at home mom and managing to still go to networking events, do coaching calls & have an online presence (maybe that's why my house is so dirty!! At least the important things are taken care of! ...also fights with my parents and lots of people in the community for sharing my voice and doing my passion instead of a 9-5 job.

Is there someone in your life who has really influenced your decision to be a business owner?

DEF my husband - if it weren't for him, I would've never had the desire to travel, see the rest of the world, or even WANT to build an empire. We are both business driven...and with that...ME. I have grown in my relationship with mySELF and I can trust HER, no matter what.

In your own words, what products/services do you offer?

I do motivational / educational speaking & offer coaching services for women wanting to transform their lives & businesses through THEIR relationship with their-selves.

What advice do you have for someone pursuing the entrepreneurial lifestyle?

My advice if you're an entrepreneur or WANT to be one: You need to be in it because you're passionate about what you do & have a heart of love and SERVICE to others....and...you're going to fail - like...ALOT...get used to getting back up. You've got this sister!
