“Fast forward to now: We overcame being homeless in 2013/2014 to reaching my six figure mark in 2015 to now making multi six figures.
No matter what the road looked like, I followed my heart and stuck with it growing my business.
I’m saying this to say, anyone can do it.
It takes determination and consistency.”
