What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Completing five books in the mental health field:
- I Am Wonderfully Me: Positive Affirmations for Me! Volume 1-3
- Reflective Meditations Trilogy: Unraveling My Trauma, Healing My Trauma and Letting Go-Forgiveness
- Reflective Meditations Trilogy: Understanding My Authentic Self, Believing in Myself, Loving Myself, Plus Understanding My Boundaries.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest parts of owning a business is building it to the place where you want it to be successful.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Follow your passions, be persistent, and believe in yourself.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
If you are having difficulties in life, having a hard time coping, not sure where you are going, or have any other issues, stop and take a break. During this break, feel yourself grounded, align your spine to a natural position, and breathe into your diaphragm. This will help you relax! It helps with emotional control and helps you feel better.
