Hi. It's me - Patrina

Ever wonder why someone decides to ditch the predictable for the perilous path of entrepreneurship?

Well, strap in. Because you're about to get the unvarnished truth of how I went from sitting on the sideline wondering to getting up and making it happen. Like really running a business that genuinely changes lives.

But first, the Backstory…

Picture this: I was going through motions, getting up and getting dressed, dropping my daughter off to school, going to work, then get off, pick my daughter up from school, go home back dinner review homework and I did it over and over again and over again. I felt like there was more for me to do yet I had no clue what the "more" was.

Then, one day, I took that 1st step. I launched my coaching business as a side project. It was messy. It was scary. But I knew it was the start of something big.

Here's the honest truth: It wasn’t smooth sailing from there.

Nope!

I faced countless rejections from the exact people I created the business to help. I also had my fair share of sleepless nights. But every setback was a setup for a comeback.

I kept pushing, learning, and growing.

Now, let me be clear: I'm not sharing this to brag or to say, "look at me."

I'm sharing this because I know you're out there, possibly where I was, wondering if your "more" is out there too.

I’m here to tell you it is.

And not only that, but I’m also here to help you find it.

So…

What’s your "more"? What’s that thing you daydream about but haven’t chased (yet)? 👉🏽 Hit "Reply" and tell me.

I read every response, and I'm here to push, support, and guide you.

Because if I can go from watching on the sidelines to launching, then why not you?

Let's make those daydreams a reality.

To the daydreamers,
Patrina

P.S. Seriously, what’s holding you back? Hit "reply." I’ve got a knack for turning obstacles into stepping stones. Let’s do this together!
