Business Consultant, Trainer, and Motivational Speaker

As a small business trainer, motivational speaker, and consultant, I specialize in helping people to start, grow, and succeed in business.

Growing up as one of nine kids, I learned early on that challenges give rise to opportunity. With this shift in perception, I learned to be resilient, resourceful, and innovative - essential qualities for success in business (and life).

By my late-twenties, I had contributed to successfully reviving a manufacturing company from the brink of bankruptcy to achieving over seven-figure profits. I then moved on to pioneer the nation’s first and only online resource community tailored to driving entrepreneurship. In less than one year, I was facilitating over half a million connections each month between public business assistance agencies and growing entrepreneurs.

Throughout it all, I learned the power of perseverance, discipline, and the value of collaboration and teamwork. I learned that by having a strong mind, I, too, can have a strong business.

Today, my training programs are used domestically and abroad to empower micro-enterprise. My consulting and coaching techniques help drive venture start-up and growth, and my books, podcasts, and speaking contributions reach millions globally building strong minds and strong business activity.

By working with numerous nonprofit, workforce and economic development agencies, our collective efforts are helping to ensure that more people, regardless of our differences, feel valued, respected, and have equal access to meaningful and rewarding vocational opportunities.

Helping others to succeed in business transcends a mere mission— it embodies my personal dedication.
