- Once I retired from the military I knew I wanted to do something on my own. I attempted and looked into all types of businesses and franchises. What I found was that most of those businesses were not legitimate and frauds and the franchises where too expensive for me. Continued working for others and in my spirit I knew this wasn’t for me and the only way to get what I needed and wanted was to work for myself and to quit wasting my time on things I didn’t desire to do. - Had a life altering health experience and was given the dreaded six months to live prognosis by my doctors and put on disability. Once I outlived the six month and realized that I needed to start planning to live and not die I had to make plans of what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I knew going back to the job-job world wasn’t for me and that I deserve and had a right to seek out something that would allow me to take care of myself and be happy with what I do. - I'm passionate about helping others protect themselves and what they've worked hard to build. I'm passionate about providing services, products, and training to solo-entrepreneurs that will allow them to build the business that they desire to build to fit just them. I'm passionate about helping women entrepreneurs bring back the joy, happiness, fun, and the "WHY" of their business. I want to see them achieve what they set out to achieve when they first created their businesses. I want them to understand that you're not in business by themselves, but I can be there so they don't feel alone, be the support system they need to bounce ideas off, brainstorm with, and be the kick in the pants to do the work you need to do. Specialties: Public speaker, published author, researching, writer, and motivator.
