"What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger." This isn’t just a saying—it’s the foundation of my journey as a small business champion and funding strategist. Beyond the stages and spotlights, I embody resilience and reinvention every single day...
…From escaping a violent past to surviving in hiding for five years, my life has been a masterclass in overcoming adversity. I’ve hit rock bottom—losing everything, not once, but twice. Yet, as a tough New Yorker, I refused to stay down. Today, I stand as a self-made multimillionaire, proving that perseverance and strategy create unstoppable success.
With a 450 credit score and a single $200 credit card, I sparked the creation of my groundbreaking project, “Target Funding”—more than a book, it’s a strategic roadmap for businesses once considered unbankable. Inspired by my own comeback, it provides a proven system for securing funding and scaling businesses.
For 25+ years, I’ve been the trusted coach, strategist, and advocate for small businesses, startups, and inventors. I’ve navigated the funding landscape, avoided pitfalls, and mastered the fastest routes to financial success.
As a TEDx Speaker, Funding Expert, and Investor, I’m drawn to purpose-driven leaders. My mission? Elevate and empower. My proudest achievement isn’t just financial freedom but rebuilding my credit to 825, a testament to resilience.
