Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is my daughter Nora. She is 17, and has been watching me on this journey for the 5 years. She has watched me struggle and work to create a name for myself in my business and keep my chin up when there were a million reasons to quit. I always knew I had to dig deeper because she was watching. Anyone who owns their own business knows that to start a business from scratch and create your own employment and then depend on that to live is not for the faint of heart.

How do you stay motivated?

Sometimes it’s very difficult to stay motivated. But I try to look back on my successes and use them to motivate myself to keep going! I try to surround myself with positive people that support my business. My daughter wants to go to college for business, partly because she has seen me transition from a job where I was very unhappy to being my own boss and being in control of my own success.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly I would reinvest the money back into my business to help me grow my client base! I have big goals, and I would use the money to help me reach them!
