Over 15 years ago, I knew I wanted to help others, myself, and my family. I took this passion and grew it into multiple businesses with seven figures financial return, but it wasn't a straight path to success despite what social media might look like. I began entrepreneurship with an online apparel store to simply provide some financial support for my growing family. However, the day that I was diagnosed with cancer, I realized I didn't want to work my life away to fill the pockets or meet the dreams of someone else, especially at the expense of my family. I vowed then I wanted a real business and a real life. A real life for me meant getting to live on my terms and being present for my family.
