For a long time in my life, I would win for a bit, then lose again. It was an exhausting, frustrating roller coaster. My personal life, my business was not what I wanted or where I wanted it to be. I had lots of goals, I just couldn't quite get there. Speakers and business leaders I followed (and still greatly respect) seemed to have all the answers, but I still struggled. I needed something more, but I didn't know what.

In business, I was successful, often, in spite of myself. Looking back, my journey as an entrepreneur started in elementary school. I bought gum and candy at the store and sold it to kids for double what I paid so I could buy the things I wanted. My business ventures as a child led me to a successful sales career that had me making more money right out of high school than my former teachers, some of them told me I would amount to nothing.

My childhood had been filled with a lot of pain and volatility. Those experiences caused me a lot of problems as an adult. Addiction, bad habits and unhealthy relationships, both business and personal numbed the pain of the past. I was blind to it for a long time. Then, my personal breakthrough came. Everything changed for me because I surrendered. I put in the work to become a better human and then set out on a mission to help others do the same!

It is now my mission to help others have their breakthrough. You can overcome trauma, loss, addiction, a failing business, hardships and find joy, confidence, recovery and success. I have done it, and you can, too. The first step is to believe in yourself and go for it. You can do anything to put your mind to....literally.
