01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from my faith in God and prayer, as without Him I would not have achieved everything. My true why is my children and family - I want to show them that anything is possible if you work for it and believe in yourself. I also attribute it to my supportive fiance and using the tools I teach on myself.
02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity, honesty, resilience, authenticity, and gratitude are most important. You have to be grateful even on the hard days.
