Savvy Entrepreneur 4 Small Business Growth

My mission for 2020 is to become a Real Estate Broker. I am requesting seed money to help me grow my business to allow me to hire a minimum of 1 to 2 people to help me grow my business and launch it to the next level to keep up with the momentum of my growth.

In 2019, my earnings doubled and have active leads in my pipeline.  By requesting seed money to help me grow my business it will allow me to have consistency each month with out the ups or downs, to not deplete my savings and go into credit card debt to offset any challenges.

I have been spending my earnings on living expenses, 30% for overhead, and have very little in savings.  I intend to hire 2 to 5 people, but I need to be sure that I have reserves for business expenses and payroll.   I need to hire a minimum of 1 to 2 people to help me grow my business and launch it to the next level to keep up with the momentum of my growth.

I was given the opportunity to co-create a TV show that I produce monthly and invest in.  My business earnings doubled this year.  I also have been invited to be a public speaker for Universites, conferences and local schools.  I am active in my community and volunteer my time with ten organizations that give back to my community and advocate for affordable housing, sustainability, children and women's needs, and those who are underserved.  I also raise money for various causes and give back as much as possible.

In addition to my real estate services, I also offer home design, staging and project management.  With my TV show I am reaching a larger local and national audience, growing my Social Media and YouTube following, and increasing my referrals.  I also became certified in other ways to serve my clients, I am a member with the Women's Council Realtor, National Hispanic Realtor, Worldwide ERC member, Green Realtor designation, Certified International Property Specialist, Relocation Specialist.  I have a unique advantage to market homes and connect with more people to provide valuable services.  What is your company/product about and how does it solve the problem? 

Although I have been a Realtor for 20 years, during the recession, I had to take a break from my career for a few years.  I also went through a divorce and was a single mom for many years.  I went back to school to pursue studies in Viticulture and Enology, which helps me to better specialize in vineyard and winery properties.  I put my needs aside and focused on raising my children.  At the same time, I developed an autoimmune disorder and had several medical complications.  In 2012, I was a victim of a violent crime that caused some additional setbacks that I eventually overcame, and I am proud to be a survivor.  

Despite many of these overwhelming challenges, I persevered and overcame my circumstances and helped put my two children attend a four year College University that they recently graduated from.  Everything I have I earned on my own and still working on rebuilding my life. 

I was remarried in 2016 and have had the support of my husband to return to my career and continuous self improvement.  We also have a son in middle school and work to provide for his needs too.  I appreciate my husband's commitment to our marriage and our family, along with his support to encourage me to thrive independently as well.  

I will use the money to pay off debt, put into a savings for reserves, and have a separate account to pay monthly business expenses that I will replenish as I earn income. 

Thank you to my husband, my children, and everyone who has been a part of my journey along the way.
