I am truly passionate about EDUCATION. As a young child I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a teacher, like my mother and I wanted to own a daycare. I went to college, got my degree and became an Elementary Teacher. I taught Kindergarten and then 8th grade. Yesss, both grades are very different, but I enjoyed teaching them equally. While teaching, I met some lifelong friends and developed some priceless relationships. Nevertheless, I felt I was missing something and knew I still had a dream to fulfill!
After a few years, I decided to follow my dreams and opened my first child care center two days after I got married in August of 2000. Yes, two days later. Again, I was fueled by passion. At that time, doing what I loved trumped a honeymoon and we traveled to our honeymoon later. As you know, it gets greater later! Of course, now I would do things differently. However, that is just part of my story that must be told because it's important to note that when you are driven by a true desire to do something, YOU CANNOT BE STOPPED!!!! It was my first daycare and I learned a whole LOT! The things I have learned and those I am still learning, I am more than willing to share.
So, you are getting advice and life lessons from someone who is not all talk but has actually walked the walk. I have built multiple successful businesses in different industries without investors, a big team and with limited funds. I am living proof that your dream and vision can come to life. So many people ask me how I started and that is why I decided to create a community with this website to help me address all questions, share information and teach others what I have learned as a wife, mother, teacher and entrepreneur. The key to success for me is my relationship with God, positive thinking, a great attitude, education (formal and informal) and key relationships. You too can create your own thriving business and I hope to give you a host of resources and knowledge to build your brand and your business to be the BEST.
Enjoy the process,
Erica
