I was at rock bottom. I lost several of my team members. I tend to be a drive-by delegator and expect everyone to be wired like me… I needed to learn some things to help ME be better. A better wife, mom, sister, daughter and leader is my number one priority. Staying [the course with Darren] was the best decision. I have a new fire inside of me and for the first time do not worry about where business will come from.

Before I started, I owned three businesses (or should I say I had three businesses that owned ME!) and one big failure. I had ideas, but no mentors. I was working my tail off, but not getting any real traction. Exhausting before you even add in the whole "five kid and a husband factor". Four years later, I own not three, but eight businesses, and have established two non-profit charities. I actually OWN my businesses, they no longer own ME, and I am getting more done on a daily basis with less of my personal involvement. I have found my seat on the bus as a leader.

This has been a terrific experience. Darren has opened the door to the grand adventure I’m on. Where we are in our family and where I am in my career is literally beyond my wildest imagination or dreams by 10X.
