I want to take a moment and let you know exactly who I am. I was born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts located in the exact center of the state. I have a younger sister and parents who are self-educated but do not have more than a high school education. My family is very tight and we all want the best for each other. It is there where I was taught from my father to be a true thinker. He taught me to think on my own and follow what it is I believed. I was home schooled from 6th grade and graduated from High School at the age of sixteen. I would like to think that I am brilliant but in all actuality, I worked hard and made it happen. I was then thrown into adulthood where I got my license, my first full time job, and started in college full time all in the same year. This really projected me into the real world of responsibilities. It is then that I learned you had to work very hard to get ahead in such a fast paced demanding world. Working full time, going to school full time, and paying my way, this allowed me to develop an incredible work ethic. I worked in landscaping for my uncle for many years putting myself through college. At the age of 21, I became the foreman of his company. Shortly after finishing school, I then started my own business. One thing I learned in college was that 90% of businesses fail in there first 5 years. I found that to be true. The reason is is that most do not have the capital or the knowledge to minimize costly mistakes. After 2 years of being in business, I gave it up and like so many others, I was never taught how to run a successful business. I knew the trade but not the Business. In the back of my mind I knew there had to be something out there. I re-entered the rat race knowing that there had to be something else. Then I found it and have begun an incredible journey since.
More to come!
