Deep Dive of My Background.
MY STORY
FROM STUMBLING FOUNDER
TO BUSINESS LEADER, ADVISOR, AND COACH

When I began my business journey, I had no roadmap—only a dream, determination, and faith.
I wasn’t born into a network of entrepreneurs, nor did I have an Ivy League education. I didn’t have a coach, a blueprint, or a safety net. I had passion, and I had drive — but I also had doubt, fear, stress, and plenty of hard lessons.
I stumbled. I failed. I questioned everything.
But I was never truly alone. Mentors, encouragers, angels in human form, appeared when I needed them most, reminding me of my strength when I was ready to give up. They helped me grow through failures, learn from setbacks, and rise with new wisdom and resilience.
Because of them, I didn’t just build a business — I built belief in myself.
Today, as a retired business leader, with over 40 years of experience in small business and corporate management, I’ve taken everything I’ve learned to help others through
