Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My parents - immigrants from Mexico - wanted more for their family. They started selling toys, cosmetics, sunglasses at Southern California flea markets. I was a child entrepreneur, finding things to resell & making money there. So my parents made a huge impact on me. With my eBay infomercial (11 years) ) I made an impact on 700,000 students, teaching them eBay selling! We had so many success stories, which were very inspiring. Today, my mission - to serve entrepreneurs - inspires me.

How do you stay motivated?

By staying true to my core mission, which is to serve entrepreneurs by providing them with the latest training / coaching on digital marketing strategies & the many ways to grow their business. I constantly seek the latest strategies for using AI & teach my students from my own real-world examples. By far, my biggest motivation is seeing my students succeed and hearing their success stories, knowing I made an impact.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Invest in ads for my business called "GROW THE REVENUE", (GTR) which revolutionizes small businesses, giving them the newest AI tools to capture more sales, create more recurring revenue & increase customer engagement. My parents grew their humble swap meet business into a retail store in East LA & I understand the small business owner's challenges. I can help "turbocharge" the small biz "engine" of America / the world to make my impact.
