IN BUSINESS
My greatest business strengths are: Not fearing failure, and quickly and decisively executing
my visions of how my businesses should run
and operate. I have always loved researching, so when I have an idea for a business I do my research, formulate a plan of action and execute it immediately. This gives me the most momentum when starting a new venture as I am excited to get going, and it doesn’t allow me time to start second guessing myself about decisions I may have made. Even at a young age, I have never feared failure because what some call failure I call an opportunity for learning and growth. To those in business, these opportunities come daily as business is constantly changing. This is how entrepreneurs hone their skills to take them to the next level of success.
In five years: I would like to see my Home Care business expanding into neighboring states and my weight loss product being sold nationally. As of now, I have received my National Drug Code from the FDA and have a patent pending. My next plan of action is making this weight loss product
a success!
The best advice I’ve ever received was: From my father who told me I could do anything if I set my mind to it and don’t let obstacles get me off track.
I chose this particular business because: I love helping people. We currently serve the entire Gulf Coast with services for personal care, respite and private duty nursing. My business would not be
a success without my wonderful office staff and great workers in the field. “Team work makes the Dream work.”
My inspirations come from: God and my family. I knew at an early age that I would own a business. My father and several family members have owned businesses. Watching my father sell cars on his lot as a child and young adult inspired
me to be the woman I am today. That’s why I will continue to strive and be open to different business opportunities.
