💼 Real-World Business Experience:
I've been an entrepreneur since the age of 5—starting with crafting and selling handmade items door-to-door.
From ages 10 to 18, I operated a profitable landscaping business with two employees, earning far more than most of my peers with traditional teen jobs.
As an adult, I ran a business consulting company for 7 years, helping aspiring entrepreneurs develop business plans, launch their ventures, and market effectively.
As a side hustle I had a personal finance and credit repair company, in which I helped dozens of people go from credit scores in the 300's to credit scores in the 600's through simple dispute techniques.
My most successful venture was a commercial and residential cleaning company, which I owned and operated for over 10 years with an annual operating budget of $450,000 and five employees, offering both residential and commercial cleaning services. I closed the business during the COVID-19 pandemic due to client loss, health reasons, and a desire for change.
I’m currently in the process of building a live, in-person Wilderness Training School, applying everything I’ve learned from decades of entrepreneurship.
This extensive business background fuels the engaging, practical, and original classes I teach on Outschool, where every lesson is based on real experience—not just theory.Reviews
