How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

A pivot time in my life came about when I decided I will not let a nine to five control my time, my life or who I am anymore.

I made a decision to step out on crazy faith with very little money and working two jobs, I opened my first business 11 years ago and never turned back. Now with multiple subsidiaries and having control of my time.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

My story of resilience is never giving up. I opened my first school, Drama and arts academy learning center doing four different jobs during the day time. I was the cook, the janitor, the accountant and the director. My first couple of months, I would waitress at nights to have enough money to pay my staff/teachers.
