Moving to the US at 20 years old for the sole purpose of college was a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare when I arrived as a legal immigrant and found out almost right away that it was illegal for me, as a LEGAL immigrant, to work just like everyone else. I had just packed my bags and left a country where our college degrees were worth nothing to move to a country where my college degree would be worth something, except I wouldn't be allowed to work during or even after college (depending on my major). My dad had just spent thousands of dollars that he practically didn't have to send me to the US to go to college so that I could become successful, and it turned out that was not how it worked. Reality smacked me so hard in the face I had no clue what I was going to do, but I knew I had to figure it out because no one was going to figure it out for me. That is exactly what my journey as an entrepreneur has felt like and that is what it feels like for you right now or will feel like when you start. It's the part of starting a business that most founders don’t get to share because everyone wants to hear about the success and what it’s like to run a successful startup, but no one really wants to hear the true struggles or plot twist moments that lead to those successes. When you book a call with me, you know you are speaking to someone who understands where you are and can give you relatable advice on how to navigate that tough situation that seems impossible and make it to the other side. We will talk about your current challenges, come up with practical solutions together, discuss your current undertakings, explore how to make the most of it, and lastly create actionable steps to get you from where you are to where you want to go and beyond.
