Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful is when I stepped out on Faith and started and launched my business The 800+ Financial Freedom Club LLC December of 2019. It was Amazing to see people lives and mindsets change about their financial situation.

Do you remember a time someone truly listened to you?
Yes, when I coached one of my clients who was struggling in debt. I was able to calm her down by letting her know that I was able to help her. She gave me her undivided attention and felt hopeful for the first time in years.

I was able to set her up on a financial plan to help her get out of debt, as she begin to work the plan she started to see her debts being paid in full. She became one of my loyal clients.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They would say that I am going to make sure my clients are happy with the end results of their service.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope they highlight my story of how I motivated, inspired, encouraged and empowered people to live a financially free lifestyle.
