Chasing the American Dream

Most of us have been told since we were little that we could be anything we wanted in life. Some of our parents nurtured us so we could figure out what kind of career we wanted. Many teachers also guided us depending on our strengths.

I remember my mother handing me a book about Dr. Christiaan Bernard, the world’s first Heart Transplant Surgeon, upon learning that I had expressed an interest in the same. For whatever reason, I never pursued the grades necessary for college, let alone med school. I could tell you all the excuses I have made in the past but I don’t want to bore you.

I’ve been trying to find myself ever since then, working a variety of jobs and dabbling on and off in various MLMs, explaining previously, I didn’t have a clue about the industry. We can fast forward telemarketing, bank telling, construction superintendent, construction owner and others in between, to now.

Since closing my construction doors, in 2007, I have embarked on an amazing journey, starting with discovering a group of people that mentor and coach others personally and professionally. I honestly knew I needed help professionally to succeed in this field, but I thought I was through focusing on myself. Huh!? I had barely scratched the surface.

Now, a year and a half later, I am living a more enriched life due to all the training I’ve taken advantage of and because I now understand my personality and others. I accept and love me for the way God made me to be. I am a better friend, wife, mentor and coach because of the skills and training I received. I know where I’m headed and sometimes when the path gets a little foggy, I plug into the team for the encouragement and support, plus, I’m able to help others that are coachable.

If you’re frustrated in anyway and don’t know where to turn, give me a call and we’ll see where you might be struggling. As a gift to get you started, just click on the ebook in the upper right corner.

The best advice I can give you right now is don’t ever give up Chasing the American Dream because YOU will catch it!

To Your Success,
