Passion
In addition to creating a business community, I'm also passionate about giving back.
I believe we all have opportunities to use our businesses for good. Sometimes that's us donating our time. Sometimes that's us giving our treasure and sometimes that's using our talents. So, for me, during United Way Day Of Giving at our local food bank with my employees, I became more aware of the food-insecurity issues in our community. As a leader that day, it gave me space to ask questions like: What else do I not know? I learned that EBT cards don't cover diapers and wipes or feminine-hygiene products. We started, after that day, leading an annual diaper drive in our community, using our business as a drop-off point, collecting diapers and wipes to help out.
Today, 15 years later, I'm still doing that, donating profits from my workshops, gathering donations and, more importantly, using my social influence online so that I can continue to educate others about this void; so that they too might do something similar in their own communities. It's so much bigger than one person. It also inspires other people to ask their own questions and to see if they can find a way to make a difference and cast a wider net with the influence of their business inside of their communities or in the world at large.

Best Story
In my 20s, I was working as an administrative assistant making $11 an hour, but I was spending as though I was earning $75 an hour. The irony was that I was making these mistakes while I was working for a financial-services firm on my way to becoming a financial advisor. So, here I was, becoming a financial advisor and spending money that I didn't have, and I got myself into some pretty serious debt. $15,000 of debt at age 22! Once I saw my own mistakes and how I was handling my money, I got myself back on the right track, and I became even more inspired to help other people do the same.

I'm Hiring! Would You Take The Job?
Most Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 for someone else. The truth is that most aren't paying themselves what they deserve and they aren't setting their revenue goals to support a life (or business by design), and that's a formula for business owners who are burnt out and broke by the time they hit their retirement years.

Are you great at making but not keeping money? Are you bad at budgeting
You might be surprised to find out that it’s not entirely your fault if you struggle with money. Studies show that the financial habits and behaviors we see in our parents have the most impact on how we handle our finances as adults. This can even mean that bad habits are passed from generation to generation.
The good news is, the way our financial story begins is not how it has to end.
