Free RegistrationMy original inspiration started from within; I took an entrepreneurship class in high school and the unstoppable desire to be an entrepreneur had ignited. I was an instant fan of Dragon’s Den from the very first episode and now a huge fan of Shark Tank. Having watched close to 95% of all aired episodes I’m continually inspired by the investors, having studied/analyze every pitch, investors comments and deals made as an informal mentorship.
How do you stay motivated?I have 6 beautiful children and a wife who keep me laser focused on succeeding in order to one day provide them with the freedom of choice. To me wealth is the ability to let my children live freely to explore and pursue whatever they love. Second, life long goal to continuously give back to those in need all over the world making a life changing impact for them and their family. I also have read/listened to over 100 books on personal growth and business management.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the entire $25,000 to advance my abdominal workout/total body exercise invention and business to the next level to better position myself to appear on Dragon’s Den, I’m unable to apply to be on Shark Tank as I do not have a US citizenship. Next level would involve purchasing 150 - 200 more product and paying social media influencers to help spread the word. I would also like to get an endorsement from a medical professional.
