What’s behind your passion? What inspired you to start your own business and why do you do what you do?
I remember being newly married, in a ton of debt and having feelings of shame, frustration, doubt because I didn’t know what to do. The truth was we made too much money to not have a plan and be in control of our finances.

I was tired of our debt dictating what we could do with our money.

During this time I discovered a step by step plan that actually worked! shortly after we were debt free, in control of our money and we had a plan! For the first time, we actually had more money at the end of our month!

Friends and family started asking me to help them walk through the same process and I left my career as a touring musician, got trained and opened my business.

I love helping Canadians achieve financial freedom because I’ve seen how powerful having control of your money is to achieving your dreams.

How did the help you got from BACD impact you and your business?
BACD has helped me focus on the right opportunities and direction for my business.
How do you market your business and what works in spreading the word?
Marketing is an essential component of any business. I’ve been able to build key relationships in a few networking groups.

I have a couple free resources, like my credit card hack, that have added a lot of value to my clients and prospects.

I have my own FB group where I engage with people looking to do better with money.

I love speaking! I regularly speak at different events to share my story as well as strategies they can utilize to have true success with their money.

Have you had any unexpected challenges and how did you deal with them?

All the time! LOL!

I find setting goals has helped me keep focused on the items I need to get done in order to move forward.

Being flexible to change has helped move forward with reevaluating projects and deadlines.

What do you do to keep abreast of the changes in your business and in your industry?
I’m always reading non-fiction books in areas I want to advance in.

Continuing education is also a must for me. At least once-a-month I’m doing some extra training.

Building relationships with other coaches who have more experience than I do have added great value to my business.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own business?
Find a need and go and fill it.
