I have always been afraid of opening a business completely on my own.

For the past 10 years, I have built and worked in many businesses. A cell phone store. Photography. Weddings. Event planning. Reality TV. Content creation. Production management. Casting. Pre-production. Post production.

I was always creating, supporting, and helping other people build their dreams. I was always showing up as my best self for others. But I was never fully doing that for me

Truthfully, it is scary. If you asked anyone, I would always say I preferred having a co founder. But God knew what He was doing. I just needed a push

I started alone. I hired an assistant who was incredible, but due to distance, she had to leave. Did collaborations and lots of brainstorming with other creators. I thought I needed to hire more people immediately, but over the past few months I realized something important

I needed to work on my own for now, stop depending so much on others just for a moment, to really understand what I was capable of

What started as content coaching for real estate quickly evolved. I became a realtor helping other realtors, then expanded into teaching content for entrepreneurs, coaching, social media management, audits, and full brand strategy.

My ideas and services grew bigger than I ever imagined

Today, I am so grateful I took this decision. I am proud that I did this on my own. I am proud that I will never let anyone minimize me or make me feel less than like

Even though I supported other people’s dreams for years, I am finally building mine. And I have never been happier taking a bet on myself
