FRIENDLY BUSINESS ADVICE
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, in 1974. I was born three days before Thanksgiving. I always considered myself a "gift" to society, because I have always been a giver. I walked on my 1st birthday and attended school from the age of 18 months to 32.
From high school through college, I studied everything from business administration, psychology, starting a business, tax law, and various other subjects that have enabled me to do what I love which is almost everything I set my mind to.
Creativity is what I feed off of.
I worked in more than 40% of the call centers in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, over the past 20 years. I have gained experience and networked with quite a few individuals. I have attended business seminars as a hobby, educating myself to assist others. I have conducted a few workshops of my own ranging from small business start ups and one on one business coaching.
You will see me cover different aspects of entrepreneurship, ranging from
till quickly developing the mindset to take action and apply it to your business
IT WAS THE VISION FOR ME
IF YOU CAN SEE IT-YOU CAN ACHEIVE IT
WHEN life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. I run over obstacles everyday of my life. It seems as if there is so much to do, and not enough time to do it. Have you ever felt like everything that could go wrong does? That was my past week. What I took from my obstacles, is to restore my faith. I understand my purpose in life is helping others. I also know that I can't help others unless I help myself first. It's okay to be giving, it is also okay with being selfish. You will just have to balance the two out.
Here's an article I just wrote... I hope it reaches those that may be interested...
