Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is Jamal King aka The 9 to 5 Millionaire. Jamal is not only a successful business owner, he emphasizes the importance of a wealth-building mindset, encouraging you to think beyond the traditional 9-to-5 lifestyle. This helps motivate me to explore new entrepreneurial ventures and financial strategies. Every week I listen to a podcast that he is a part of and I get inspired by the five pillars he stands on such as Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances and Freedom.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated and consistent because of my drive and passion to be the best at what I do and most importantly my two beautiful children who are my WHY. I have been in business for seven years at Pristine Steam Wash and want to continue to build a legacy that will benefit them. I learn more about wealth and see wealth on a daily basis and I want to implement this into my life. Faith, Family, Finances and Freedom are pillars I strongly connect with and will be a part of my life balance.

What would you do with the $25,000?

This $25,000 grant will allow me to invest in a detail shop where I can take auto detailing appointments all year round and keep up with the demand for our services. Our challenge now is sustaining mobile appointments in Ohio winters with freezing temps. A new location will allow us to increase revenue, create car wash fundraising opportunities, offer industry specific skilled training programs, create local jobs, and make a positive impact on future Entrepreneurs wanting to make a difference.
