At first, I thought I had done everything right.

I hustled my way into a booming real estate business. Then I innovated a smart product, launched a Shopify brand, got featured on Fox News, CBS, even cracked global press…

Money was flowing.

But beneath the surface — the pressure was silently mounting.

Behind the scenes?

My team relied on me for every decision.

My sales depended on my presence.

I was the CRM, the operations manual, and the fire department… all in one.

I didn’t have systems.

I had dependencies.

And those dependencies were draining the life out of me.

I was growing on the outside — but bleeding on the backend.

No SOPs. No automation. No backup plan.

No one ever teaches you how to scale safely.

Then came the fall.

⚠️ I lost my first business in a downward spiral of burnout and breakdown.

⚠️ I lost my second to COVID — inventory frozen, operations stalled, revenue evaporated.

⚠️ I even lost my ability to walk… and my father passed before he could see what I would become.

I hit zero. Twice.

And while the world saw “potential” — I saw the pain of building on a foundation made of sand.

But what came next… wasn’t just a comeback.

It was a complete re-engineering of everything I thought I knew about business…
