My big bright idea began over 10 years ago and knowing one of my greatest life regrets would be to not be an entrepreneur. I had the ideas, the vision and some expertise in some areas, and I thought that would be enough to survive. Well, early on into my business ownership, that is all I was doing was surviving and barely at that. I needed to overcome some fundamental challenges I was having but could not imagine I was alone in this journey; I tackled each one with vengeance and vowed to guide others in their journey to success.
