She never got to retire. But she taught me how to build.
My mom was the first entrepreneur I ever knew. Before I could even spell the word “business,” I watched her bring three of them to life. She opened a franchised KFC in Crow Agency. Launched a gift shop later. And ran a food kiosk too. She taught me that even the smallest idea could turn into something REAL — If you believed in it enough to START. While the world told her to “play it safe,” she chose to INVEST. She poured herself into building something of her own — not just for her, but for us. She gave me work confidence by letting me help in my stepdad’s business. She gave me leadership skills by leading with love. And she gave me belief — that you CAN become your own boss, AND bring others with you as you rise. That’s the blueprint I’ve followed. That’s the REASON Sales Genius Coaching exists. I didn’t just build this company to teach sales. I built it to help people retire their parents while funding their own dreams. To pass on the gift my mom gave me — The gift of POSSIBILITY. She passed away two years ago. And I still carry the ache of not retiring her like I planned. But I KNOW she would’ve been proud. Of how far I’ve come. How far my sister’s come. And the woman I’ve found in Rose Aceves — she would’ve loved her. This company is my way of keeping her legacy alive. To help others break cycles. To become someone their family can *count on*. To *build with grace* — just like she did. If you're chasing success not just for yourself, but for the people who raised you… You’re not alone. This isn’t just sales training. This is for the ones carrying purpose on their backs. The ones who BUILD FOR MORE THAN JUST PROFIT. Let’s build in their honor. Let’s build a life they’d be proud of.
