Q: What do you attribute your success to?
A: I didn’t know enough to know this would be as hard as it was, so I just did what I had to do. I was naïve and had no idea that this would be hard. I didn’t know enough to quit. It was my only option so I stuck with it! I am also big into personal development. I had to become a different person to be able to handle the money and invest in myself and in my business. One book I love is Lead the Field by Earl Nightingale.

It’s always good to hear from real people who have actually made it. It helps knowing that regular people have started from scratch and succeeded. Getting tips from those who did can help us all. Thanks.
