Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I had a cat named Tarzan who passed at 9 months due to a disease from a flea and my cat 12 years named Jane then I started a pet siting business with 5 years experience called animals helping animals giving back to other animals and I met my boyfriend who has a 164lb Bernese husky lab and we were out enjoying a campfire when I realized why can’t a dog enjoy a safe hot chocolate so carob instead of cocoa as carob is super healthy for dogs.

How do you stay motivated?

Being an entrepreneur since I was 19 12 years I always have been a determined never give up kinda girl who wants to inspire others and I hope one day to finish the book I was writing called the wrong entrepreneur to inspire others to not give up and follow their dreams.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to patent my new business chocopup dog safe hot chocolate made with carob not cocoa as I want to be the one and only, I would use it to market more across Canada and into franchises and to attend more expensive pet market events. I would reinvest the $25,000 directly back into my business to fuel growth, support my team, and elevate the overall customer experience. It would allow us to expand our reach, increase our production capabilities, and continue delivering new flavours.
