Have you ever heard of someone starting a business from their kitchen table and making it big, and wonder if it’s true?

Well, now you do. ME!

Did you know that when I was 28 years old, I started my very first business?

I manufactured and designed swimwear and sportswear and sold it all over the USA, Grand Cayman Islands, and England, way before there was internet and social media.

It all started on my dining room table where I made workout clothes for myself, and then friends started asking for them. Before I knew it, word-of-mouth took off like wildfire, and suddenly, I was running a full-fledged business. Orders were pouring in faster than I could sew them!

I’ll be honest—it wasn’t easy. There were plenty of late nights and weekends where I was knee-deep in fabric and patterns, but I loved every minute of it. That small side hustle became my dream business and gave me the freedom and fulfillment I didn’t even know I was craving at the time.

Looking back, I realize that taking that first step—cutting and stitching those very first pieces—was the key to building my dreams. If I can do it, so can you! Sometimes the greatest success stories start right at your own kitchen table.

This is a picture of me holding up my sister-in-law wearing my sportswear. When I look back on my younger self, I see a girl who was just a regular mom like everyone else. I had no idea that my little hobby would turn into a real business making me real money. I was just making workout gear because I couldn’t find what I liked in the stores.

This picture makes me happy and a little proud because, at the time, I was a stay-at-home mom with zero experience in the business world. I had no clue what I was doing. I just learned as I went along. The proof is in the pudding; you don’t need to know it all to get started.

Fast forward, here I am at 63 using social media, tech, and all the things to take my business to the next level. I’m proof you’re never too old to learn something new. You just need to get started.

And you know what? I wouldn’t trade those humble beginnings for anything. Those early mistakes and small wins shaped who I am today. If you’re dreaming of more, trust me—you can build your dreams one step at a time, just like I did.

So, let me ask you something….

• Do you need to supplement your income but don’t want to work for someone else?
• Do you have a hobby that you would like to turn into a business, but you don’t know where to start?
• Are you tired of working 40+ hours a week for little pay?

Let me show you how to turn your hobby into a business as I did.
