What inspired you to get started as an entrepreneur?
I can remember as far back as elementary school, trying to be the number one seller to win the big prize. Also, since I was young I've had some family members who have been entrepreneurs most of their lives. Therefore, seeing it most of my life it what has inspired me.
What was your biggest struggle to get things going for your online business?
My biggest struggle was finding my brand identity. Evolving from that vendor, family and friends seller to the online world was challenging. I had to make a decision on who RYBB was going to be online and I had only slightly envisioned it.
Was there a time you thought about giving up? What kept you from quitting?
In 2018 I thought about giving up. Within 58 days a drunk driver hit me at 80 miles per hour on the freeway and the job I was working at, electronic gates somehow malfunctioned and crushed me. I knew soon after my body was not going to be the same and things were going to change. I've been in pain everyday since and the only things that keep me from quitting is that I have four children who are depending on me and know they can't count on anyone else but me "Momma" to provide. I don't want my children to experience what I had too as I was growing up and because of that and now I have to want better for myself is enough reason to keep me from quitting.
