Extreme Entrepreneurial Tour, GSEA Global Finals, and Graduation

June 15, 2011
The end of May was full of adventure!

I was fortunate enough to have been asked to fly out to Toledo, Ohio to talk at an event put on by the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour. It was my first experience with the tour and I was blown away by how amazing the speakers and facilitators were! I had the privilege of being the keynote speaker and talking to the students about my entrepreneurial journey. I told the audience about how I have taken a hobby and a passion (cheerleading) and transformed it into a career that not only make me money but helps give back to the world at large. I gave them permission to dream big and go hard for their dreams. Lastly, I tried to make it clear that being young is not a barrier to owning a business.

From Ohio I flew strait to New York to attend the EO Nerve/GSEA Regional Competition. I had a chance to meet some of the most passionate a brightest college entrepreneurs there are. For those of you who don't know I am the United States Ambassador for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA). It is a global business plan competition that can launch your business to the next level, whether you win or not. The synergy and relationships I was able to experience was GAME CHANGING. If you are a college entrepreneur or you know one be sure to nominate them for the competition.

After leaving New York, I took the bus back down to good ole' Virginia to graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University! I had a ton of friends and family come to see me graduate. Hopefully, I will have pictures for you all soon.


Be blessed :-)

March 2011- Momentum

April 5, 2011
Hi everyone!

This month I had some major momentum that is really starting to take effect! I think my success this month has been attributed to the momentum that I have been gaining through the past three months. 

Momentum- Since starting the ETC program the things I have been learning and the one on one mentoring that I have been receiving has been building up in my life. It takes time to get from the point when you have an idea to the point where you have developed that idea into something rea...

Professionalism & Web Presence

March 4, 2011
It doesn't feel like its been three weeks...

This weeks call was about professionalism and web presence. We talked about our websites and how to make then number one on Google. This is commonly refereed to as search optimization. Duane talked about how to use headings, subheadings, paragraph text, key words, meta tags, and other strategies to reach the top of the first page on Google. 

I know I have a lot of work to do on my website. Currently, its very difficult for search engines to read my w...

Reaching for My Goal

March 4, 2011
Today I did the homework that was given to us on Sunday. The assignment was for us to write out a vision of what our companies would look like once they were completed. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I think it was difficult for me because I am not used to thinking about my company as something to be completed. For me its a journey with no final destination. There is always something to be learned and improved on. What I submitted for my assignment is at the end of the post...

Dream Stealers

March 4, 2011
I had a friend text me last night saying: “If you have anything encouraging to say, now would be a good time.” I told him something to the effect of, when the going gets rough your keep pushing ‘cause your blessing is on the other side. 

This is extremely uncommon behavior for Jones*. I rarely have to encourage him because he is a self motivated type of person. He is extremely bright, talented, and hard working. He is one of my only friends from high school that has chosen a similar path...

Feeling good about bills?

March 4, 2011
We all have bills! I have more bills then most people at my age but instead of feeling depressed about having to pay them, I have decided to feel thankful. 

Across the board, most people grew up listening to their parents complain or worry about how they were going to pay the bills. So as we grow up we do the same. But I want to offer a new way of thinking about this seemingly unpleasant situation. Here are so key things to consider when paying your bills:

1. Your money is helping to pay someon...

About Me


I am a 22 year old college student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I also own a sports management company that I began in 2007. Recently, I have begun coaching young people in personal and business development. I love to help people grow to their highest level and for making connections for others. I am in my last year of college and will be graduating with a degree in Marketing from Virginia Commonwealth University. I love meeting new people and finding out how I can help them move towards their goals. There is no better feeling than seeing someone accomplish their goals and knowing I was a part of helping them achieve it.
