Hello everyone! My name is Heather, and my entrepreneurial journey started when I was a senior in high school more than 20 years ago. (Damn, I feel old when I say that sometimes! 😅)
I loved photography and was asked to photograph 📸 a wedding. That was the first moment I realized that even though I was just starting out, people would still pay me for my services. I spent years dabbling with my business and learning skills, always working a "real job" to support myself. I even experimented with MLM along the way.
In 2009, I became a mom for the first time. A single mother at that. Then in 2014, I was fired from a job and decided to use that opportunity to really give my photography business a go. I pushed myself a lot.
I started dating my now husband. (my cupcake🧁) My son and I moved in with him and my now stepdaughter. He gave me the emotional support I needed to keep pushing my business, and within a year, I was one of the top photographers in the area. My kids came to work with me often, and I had the flexibility to be there for them.
And just when you think things are going great... enter cancer. 🏥 I battled cancer for a couple of years. I could no longer run a profitable photography business. I spent time just recovering from... well... almost dying multiple times. Then I decided it was time to figure out who I was post-cancer (but still with all the side effects).
I started my hobby business, my little food trailer. 🥤 But then I started my passion business, Learn Business U. I am excited to build my new business and this community where I can help you all grow as well. We can help each other together. 💪✨
