Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration when I started vs now has changed, when I started it was simply put I didn’t want to be told how to do things. Starting out at 17 I had worked for a few other contractors and they all treated me poorly so I changed that! Now my inspiration derives from the need for true freedom! I want to create generational wealth for my family!

How do you stay motivated?

Motivation comes and goes the key it to stay consistent!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it into my newest venture! AOG fitness a gym I’m trying to procure! Or simply invest it! It depends where I’m at on my journey!
