Tell us about yourself
I’m motivated to keep moving forward with my business because success in my business means freedom. It will afford me the opportunity to do more to help myself and my loved ones, travel, and enjoy my favorite hobbies.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment in my business currently is longevity. My business has been in existence for six years now despite insurmountable odds. Also, this year 2022, has been the most successful year financially that I’ve had to date, although I’ve still got a very, very long way to go. I’m optimistic about the future.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
I think this varies significantly depending on who you speak with, but for me, the greatest challenge has been securing a stable living environment while I work on building my business through the years.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Get a good therapist if you plan to be in this for the long haul. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, honest with you, and want to see you succeed. Provide value to them as best you can. It may not seem like it, but there is almost always some way you can help almost everyone, even if you think you don’t have much to give.
Oftentimes just helping with tasks, sharing some knowledge or skill you’ve acquired in your area of expertise, and simply listening to what they need and trying to connect them with someone that can help even if you can’t go a long way.
When you’re extremely stressed out and feeling overwhelmed, try to give yourself more time to make important decisions. If possible, sleep on it before you make an irreversible decision, pray about it, and consult with someone that wants to see you succeed. Always remember, no matter how many people you think want to see you fail, there is always at least one person (and likely a lot more) that want to see you win.
