Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is purpose, people, and faith. I am motivated to make a difference, walk in my calling, and use my voice to uplift others. In other words, I don’t just want to succeed I want my success to mean something and help someone. I was told I couldn't have children and now I have 3 miracles I know I can overcome anything. My 3 boys are my inspiration, motivation, and push to keep going and to succeed.

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation comes from purpose. When I remember why I do what I do helping children, encouraging people, and walking in my calling it reignites my drive. Prayer, scripture, and quiet time with God also renew my strength when I feel tired or discouraged. Also, motivation through verses like Isaiah 40:31 about renewing strength when you wait on the Lord.
