I try to put myself in their shoes and I understand that they want safety and a steady flow of income for there children. It was tough the first year of business when I was just a startup and barley making any profit. As time went on my first check I got from my business I gave to my parents out of respect.

That’s when they realized I actually created something that makes me happy and then everything was history.

What inspires you?

I may sound like a little kid but I have a huge imagination. Everything I vision I try to make it a reality by finding ways and overcoming various obstacles to reach my dream.

The action people take to achieve what they want is what inspires me the most. Everyone talks a big game and have amazing ideas, who is actually willing to execute it? When I see others going out and doing things that really motivates me.

For those entrepreneurs who are looking to start a business, but are feeling discouraged, what advice do have for them to keep going?

If you believe in your product or services wholeheartedly, you will be successful through all your mistakes and failures. I tell people it’s truly a mental game that we have to overcome through our experiences in the real world. This entails failures, overcoming difficult situations and learning from the people you meet. Just remember why you started your mission and run with it!
