What's your definition of purpose?
My purpose is to inspire others to step into their purpose. I want to help women entrepreneurs around the world build powerful brands and profit online.
When did you know for sure what your purpose is and what you wanted to contribute to the world as a your career?
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to impact the lives of people around me. I was the little kid who begged my mother to let me stay after school because I wanted to help my teacher teach the other students their ABC's. I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Entrepreneurship allows me to teach and connect with people from around the world. I love the global connection.
To date what's your most significant accomplishment?
My most significant accomplishment was being selected as one of 1000 Bill and Melinda Gates Scholars in my graduating year in high school. This scholarship has allowed me to pursue my doctorate while also running my online business.
What's one tip you would give to someone trying to figure out what their purpose is, and living it no matter what?
Keep going. You will fail, lose money, get frustrated, but keep going. You can do it and someone is waiting and watching you.
What's your definition of beauty and how do you celebrate your individual beauty?
Beauty is what you believe it to be. I try to find beauty in the small things in life. Beauty is breathing and waking up every morning. Life's short and I want to enjoy every beautiful minute.
Besides the Bible what's your favorite self-development book.
The DreamGiver, The Alchemist, and 4-Hour Workweek. These books were game changers for me.
