Free RegistrationMy inspiration in business is centered around my generation (millennial-Z). We thrive off of examples of those within our own ranks ascending to higher heights. That keeps me going as we are being written off as economic casualties, and failures. Which I refuse to allow to be a reason or excuse for me and many others like myself not becoming successful. When there’s no way MAKE ONE, the path less traveled always leads to true success, which is self discovery.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by being close to the source, GOD first, council second, and family third. Those three pillars for me keep me grounded and rooted in reality as I build the vision I have been given. I also have a background in athletics that has given me a self motivation framework to work from which is my edge when hard times hit.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25k to invest into opening my own office and building up a bigger team in the financial services industry. This industry has taught me how to lead from the front. Continually develop myself, and help others transform themselves into the better version of themselves. Offering the community a platform to achieve their own success.
