What is the Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy inspiration in business stems from the desire to create meaningful connections and bring joy to others through my work. Seeing the impact of my efforts on customers’ lives motivates me to innovate and grow. I’m driven by a passion for creativity, a commitment to excellence, and the opportunity to solve problems with unique solutions. Building a legacy that reflects my values, empowers others, and leaves a positive mark on the world keeps me inspired every day.
How do you stay motivated?I always come back to my WHY. The will to fight comes from battles I've personally fought through. I'm passionate in making other people's life easier. I remind myself of the impact it has on others, not just for today's generation but for generations to come. I choose my circle very carefully. I stay in touch with supportive, encouraging individuals and seek wisdom from mentors. I practice gratitude, visualization, self-care, healthy lifestyle, make time to rest, play, and pray.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put 30% in setup of the eco-friendly shop, including sustainable, locally sourced flowers, eco friendly packaging, reusable vases and energy efficient appliances and ecommerce platform and technology that will help in scaling up operations, 10% will be invested into marketing and brand partnerships with BBB companies, 20% will be in operations, research, training and development, 20% will be in innovative community projects and 20% will be for contingency fund
