I've built & bootstrapped a multi-million dollar strategic communications, education & human capital firm over 16 years, while raising two kids and taking tremendous risks, without taking any outside funding. We're pushing $20 million and I know I would be nowhere without my extraordinary employees. There have been times I've had to sacrifice the growth of my business for the development of my kids. But I would do it all again in a heartbeat. At the core of my soul, I'm a writer, an inspirer, a mentor, a teacher. Like most entrepreneurs, the traditional "enough" isn't enough for me. I want to do more, be more, learn more, give more, laugh more, love more, grow more, live more. However, I'm incredibly grateful for all of the blessings in my life, and I take nothing for granted. I've experienced my share of personal and professional challenges, but I've learned to trust the journey. Experience has taught me that I am resilient enough to bounce back, and emerge in a stronger place when I overcome adversity. I will gladly take the pain to embrace the growth and joy. I've accomplished a lot but have barely scratched the surface of my potential and the impact I can have on others. I'm committed to using my successes, my failures, and my experiences as tools to help others accomplish their goals. My purpose and my path is to help others see their potential and go beyond it, and to build a better world through service to others. I can't wait to see what's around the corner... can you?
