10 Lessons I’ve Learned on the Path to Building Highly Successful Businesses ????

?? October 1991: The Start of My Entrepreneurial Journey ??

33 years ago, I took a leap of faith and started my first business as a C-Corp. It has been a journey—founding and building seven businesses, selling five, and owning two. ???

.

When God opened the door to this path, I never looked back.

The lessons learned through the blood, sweat, tears, and many successes along the way are priceless. But the most rewarding part? The number of amazing people I've been blessed to help, connect with, and get to know along the way. There are too many to count, but many became close friends through the years. ??

I often wonder how different my life would have been if I’d stayed in the corporate world and never embraced entrepreneurship.??The ongoing support of my husband, family, and friends is so close to my heart because nobody achieves success alone.

Looking back over these years, I feel humbled, proud, and deeply grateful for how far God has brought me. ?? I’m more passionate than ever about continuing to guide others on their path to higher success.

Today, I’m celebrating the journey and the bright future ahead! ????

Over the years, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about working hard—it’s about working smart and making the right moves.

Here are the 10 biggest lessons that have helped me, and I hope they inspire you too!

  1. Mindset is Everything ??: Your thoughts shape your reality. If you believe you can, you're already halfway there.
  2. Invest in Yourself First ????: The best ROI? Investing in your knowledge, skills, and growth.
  3. Quality Over Quantity Always ??: Focus on a few high-value clients rather than spreading yourself too thin.
  4. Don’t Fear the Pivot ??: Sometimes, the path to success means adjusting your sails. Be flexible!
  5. High-Ticket Offers = High Impact ??: Focus on fewer, higher-value clients to maximize your time and energy.
  6. Surround Yourself with the Right People ????: The rooms you’re in will influence your growth—choose them wisely!
  7. Support is Everything ????: Nobody achieves success alone. Lean on mentors, peers, and a strong support system.
  8. Consistency Beats Perfection ??: Show up daily, even when it’s hard. Small, consistent actions lead to big results.
  9. Leverage is Your Best Friend ??: Learn to use systems, automation, and teams to scale without burnout.
  10. Celebrate the Wins, Big & Small ??: Acknowledge your progress, no matter how small. It’s the fuel that keeps you going.
