Author Quotes

For many years, I have been on a mission to help people discover and monetize their authenticity.

As a little girl, I dreamed of owning my own business and providing opportunities. I would go to school and in my mind, I’d pretend that school was my business. I always saw myself as a businesswoman.

I didn’t have the mind of an entrepreneur. It was only through sheer force of will and the Grace of God that I kept going and gradually honed the mindset necessary for success. Now I can proudly say that I have managed and developed more than $200 million in projects as an independent business development professional.
