Free RegistrationSomeone I met on Facebook that was renting cars, and it turned to me using his vehicle to able to bring in a second income, since I have a hard time getting a rental from Hertz or Enterprise. One day I thought about starting my own rental car business to be able to help other people like me
How do you stay motivated?By doing my research, learning how to step out of my comfort zone when I come down to networking I do have an outgoing personality. I just freezes up when it comes down to asking questions because I don't want to come off as ignorant, but I'm learning it's OK to be ignorant to something that you're not familiar with. And I'm also reading more than I usually do due to expanding my vocabulary and also I just believe in knowledge is power.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would invest it into my business, of course. It'll be such a great kickstart into what I'm trying to accomplish, not only I am more excited about having a conversation with an actual successful business owner who could give me something that is free and that's knowledge that's what I care about the most. I care about someone willing to lock in with me on a mentor level rather than a lottery ticket. I will always have access to money as long as I'm able to get the knowledge for free.
