Tell us about yourself
Being an entrepreneur is something that is in your veins at a very early age. Finding ways to start some form of business to make money as early as ten years old was probably the start of my journey. In terms of this business, the start was a bit of faith. Building something and my family are my biggest motivations.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
While I have successfully exited other businesses prior to this, and those should be considered accomplishments, I consider having built this company into the family my biggest accomplishment—a place where people come and leave work with a smile and feel part of something.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The responsibility of others. It is not just your family you have to wake up thinking about every day but also your employees who have become your family and their well-being along with their families.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a plan.
- Hard work and resilience always pay off.
- Visualize your success.
