Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

"As a small business owner, I’m inspired by the stories of others who started with little but achieved greatness through hard work and determination. Entrepreneurs like Sara Blakely and Daymond John remind me that every big dream starts small. I’m motivated by the challenges I face, knowing they’re stepping stones to growth. The support from my community and the opportunity to create something meaningful for others fuels my passion daily."

How do you stay motivated?

The biggest question I’ve been asked is, “How do you stay motivated?” Honestly, there have been days I’ve thought, Wouldn’t it be easier to just give up? But when those moments come, I remind myself of everything I’ve poured into my business—time, energy, effort. I think about my two toddler daughters. As their mom, it’s my responsibility to show them that you can do anything you set your mind to. The more you want it, the harder you’ll work

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000, I’d invest in growing my small business, The Queen of Clean, by improving equipment, expanding services, and reaching more clients. At the same time, I’d use it to provide more stability for my family, ensuring my kids have what they need while building a brighter future for us all. This investment would mean growth, security, and opportunity.
