I started my career in business, I studied business management in college because I always knew I would own my own business. Like any other college student, I got a job after graduating but found that I did not enjoy it. I did not feel like I was helping others, I really desired to help others reach their full potential.  

So I made a shift. I accepted the invitation. I shifted to education, went back to school earned a degree in teaching and became a teacher. Teaching was fun. I enjoyed teaching students technology. As time went on I began to take on more and more responsibilities. Then, it happened again. I felt the desire to be more, to have a greater impact on the students we were serving.  

So I made another shift. I said yes to the invitation. I went back to school and became a school Principal.  

As a Principal, I was known for turning struggling schools around by igniting people and processes. It was challenging but rewarding. I learned a lot of hard lessons about how to deal with people, politics of the job, how to grow other leaders, and about myself.

Then one school year I was moved to the high school to support the Principal in turning around that school. I didn’t want to go to the high school, the school where that I was leading was doing good, there were some challenges with the staff, but that is a normal part of leading others. I was voluntold, so I went.

Halfway through the school year I was told that I was doing great and could stay at the school next school year, but it would be my choice.

Then, things took a shocking turn the next month. The budget had to be cut and I was notified I was one of the people who would be let go. Unfortunately, schools across the state had to make cuts so the chances of finding another job was very unlikely.

I was concerned about how I would provide for my family. I wanted to be responsible. I realized the responsible thing to do was to make the shift into business ownership, even though it was not the most ideal circumstances. 

The same effort and determination that I needed to get my resume noticed is the same determination that I directed toward building my business. 

I discovered how to use my skills, experience, successes, and growth lessons to create a business where I could do what I always wanted to do...ignite the champion in others by helping them fulfill their dreams.
