Before we talk about your business, tell us who you are?
I am a mom to two boys, 13 and 8. I was a single mom for the first few years of my oldest son’s life. I love all things boy- sports, camping, superheroes (although my boys tell me I don’t know as much as I think I do…) I am engaged to be married in August of 2020. I have been an entrepreneur for almost 10 y years. I love to read and do puzzles.
TELL US HOW YOU STARTED ON YOUR JOURNEY AND WHAT SETS YOU APART!
I started in business when my boss wanted to retire and needed someone to send his clients to. Nice and easy start. I have since owned or co-owned 7 businesses and currently own one and co-own a second after selling the others over the years. I put a focus on profitability in business. I run a business where we work on taxes and accounting for small to medium businesses, with a huge focus on the pro t margins and growth.
What advice do you have for moms who want to start a business?
- Pay yourself from the first sale. Does not matter if it is $1.00- pay yourself and make this a habit from the beginning.
- Set up a system to know your financials that will allow you to stay on top of it. Knowing where you are is the only way to know how far until you reach the destination.
just for fun
Did you make a New Year’s resolution? If yes, what is it? If no, why?
No- I personally don’t believe in them. If you want to make a change, just start, you don’t need to wait for a new year, new month, week or day- just go get after it!
