Free RegistrationHonestly, Fawn Weaver, Daymond John and Martha Stewart. Fawn and Daymond for building empires from scratch and Martha for starting at 50. I’m 57 so I was skeptical about becoming an entrepreneur so late in life, but their trailblazing approach inspired me to follow their path.
How do you stay motivated?Lots of prayer! I also work on my dream daily, whether it’s minimal or I’ve accomplished something difficult, the small wins are worth enough to keep me grinding. I also think about building something that can be a generational legacy for my family.
What would you do with the $25,000?We could begin our first Cohort of Emerging Entrepreneurs. My nonprofit’s mission is to help first-generation entrepreneurs launch, develop and expand their businesses. We offer technical assistance through our partners and the cohort culminates with an actual Trunk Party where they are awarded with the items from their Trunkwish Registry (TM)
