Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration lies in guiding and mentoring emerging talent on how to navigate the complexities of managing a small business effectively. Additionally, I am passionate about creating a welcoming oasis for clients, where their needs can be met with understanding and without any judgment. This combination allows for personal growth in newcomers while ensuring a supportive environment for all clients.

How do you stay motivated?

I maintain my motivation through a love for reading and building connections with other entrepreneurs, participating in book clubs, and seeking advice from mentors and coaches. Additionally, I am fortunate to have a supportive family who encourages me and helps me stay focused on my aspirations, especially during difficult times. Their positivity serves as a reminder of my goals and fuels my determination to persevere.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I will be positioned to complete the setup of our current location and take the significant step of launching a second location in a different state. This funding will enable us to enhance our operations at the existing site while also paving the way for expansion into new territory, allowing us to reach and serve a broader clientele.
