Freedom in the Hospitality Industry

WeWantFreedomAs I watched my 16 year old daughter drive off on her own with the new found freedom that having your driver’s license gives you, I was both terrified and excited. It is terrifying to let go and trust that she will be safe. It was exciting to see her explore on her own and it reminded me of when I took the leap to being an independent professional in the hospitality industry.

I wanted to take control of my life, career and to have unlimited earning potential. I thought I was leaving the security of being a corporate employee, but what I found on the other side was even more security as I was now in control of my own destiny. I was fortunate to have good coaches, mentors and a strong support group.

The following are a few books that have helped me on my journey and I want to share them with you:

  • Making Money Is Killing Your Business- Chuck Blakeman
  • Millionaire in Flip Flops- Sue Cooper
  • Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different- Walter Isaacson

After 8 years in this entrepreneurial model, I have helped over 100 individuals make the transition successfully from employee…to entrepreneur in control of their life. It is not a leap after little thought, but a strategic move with a road map to success. You need a coach, mentor and someone who has traveled the path before you to lead you through the process…I can be that person for you.

Let me know if you want to learn more about my story!
