We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
After going through a divorce, walking away with two kids and $0 to her name, I overcame every obstacle thrown my way and grew a six -figure business in less than 12 months. This was one of the most difficult seasons of my life. I had two beautiful little girls to provide for with $0 to my name and no family in sight.
I remembering crying out to God asking him for help and he began to direct every last one of my steps. I fully surrendered to him and he coached me to success. I was able to out earn my ex husband in less than 12 months and put me and my children in a favorable position.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I can remember dealing with depression after my divorce and being too overwhelmed to even market or post to promote myself, but I would pray. Whenever I was weak I would ask God for strength and I would seek him aggressively. Instead of me chasing the bag, I chased God.
He took me through a season of rest which allowed. me to heal and “in my rest, God performed his best” I was featured in Forbes magazine, did a Ted talk and was speaking on some huge stages all due to my obedience to resting and trusting God through my process. I believe that God helped me build my reputation and he led me to heal and work on my character so that my reputation would precede me.
