Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from my journey as an immigrant, the resilience of entrepreneurs, and the impact of community. Since 2007, I’ve helped countless businesses grow, turning hobbies into thriving enterprises. I’m pursuing a Master’s in Taxation to expand my expertise and empower others. For me, success is about more than profit—it’s about fostering growth, uplifting communities, and creating meaningful change.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by setting clear goals, both short-term and long-term, and celebrating small wins along the way. My passion for helping others and making a meaningful impact in my community fuels my drive. I also stay inspired by learning new skills, such as my pursuit of a Master’s in Taxation, which broadens my knowledge and keeps me focused. Surrounding myself with supportive, like-minded people and remembering my purpose keeps me energized and determined to succeed.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win, I will invest in my business by expanding my marketing and branding efforts to reach a wider audience. This will allow me to enhance my services and grow my client base. Additionally, I will allocate part of the funds toward paying off student loans, helping me reduce financial stress as I complete my Master’s in Taxation. This combination of reinvesting in my business and personal growth will provide both short-term relief and long-term success.
