Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My mother Sharon Muse is my inspiration in business. Before she died, she dreamed of owning a business of her own. I hope to grow my business into something she can look down from heaven on and be proud. I also draw inspiration from the thought of being able to provide possibly millions of people across America with another, more accessible, source of income. Especially with the things going on in Congress regarding the health insurance of disabled and low income Americans.

How do you stay motivated?

I think of my mother and all the sacrifices she made for me. I think of all the hard work she did so we could survive and have a better life than she did. I think about all the people who looked down on her while she did it, on us as we were growing up, on me after I got injured. My motivation is proving everybody wrong, and making my mom proud in the process.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put 10,000 toward business advertising. I would like to see my ads on billboards, and my own commercials on tv. I would put another 10,000 toward my own brick and mortar company headquarters. I would invest the final 5,000 in obtaining a company vehicle.
