Describe
your job story:
At the age of 17, I joined the Army. Cycling through my career, my
accomplishments soared. At the age of 20, I had become a Staff Sergeant (E-6).
From there my goals became broader for my military career and I set for those
goals. However, at the age of 22, I received a medical retirement from the
Army. The military was my life. My ambitions had been fragmented.
I parted the military with no direction. I didn't know what I wanted to
do with my life. I had a ton of ideas. After a while, my ideas were becoming
tainted from my surroundings. One weekend, I took a trip to Atlanta with 2 of
my closest friends. We got to see what all the hype was about. It was at that
moment that I channeled my vision of becoming executive. One week later I
packed my bags, started my car and hit the road with my nephew and cousin. We
were all able to find jobs fairly quick. The 2 of them ended up going back to
Baltimore. For me, to return back to that environment was not an option.
After they left, things became rougher for me, but my ambition was
strong enough to keep me going. The income from my first business venture and
part-time job couldn't pay the bills. I then began my "reconstruction
phase." I had integrated my business with new ventures and ideas. This
began my success train. I've always wanted to cater a business that gross'
six-figures annually. Here I am today, at age 25 a entrepreneur looking to set
the standard for my son to follow and soar beyond.
What did you want to
be when you were a child/ teenager?
I
had 2 career goals as a child.
1)
Join the military and become the best NCO that I could be.
2)
Become a multi-entrepreneur
Are doing your dream
job?
Being
an entrepreneur was my 1st dream. Yes, this is my dream job.
What do you like MOST
about what you do? What do you like the LEAST?
The
most fulfilling part of being an entrepreneur is being the boss. Knowing that I
set the playing field is an awesome feeling. Wouldn't say that I like it least,
but the long days along with the revolving door of issues can be overwhelming
at times.
Where do you see
yourself in the next 5 years?
2020,
I'll be 31! I'm looking forward to settling into my career. My ground work
would be set. Settling into my first years of marriage (Hopefully). Humbling
myself as a father, husband and entrepreneur. Able to put my life on cruise
control and set sail.
Are you happy with
where you are in life?
An
unhappy life is what drove me to part Baltimore and start a new chapter here in
Atlanta. I come from a city full of lions where everyone is fighting to be
king. My ambition has kept me from becoming prey. So yes, I'm extremely happy
with the life path that I have set before me, and where I am today.
What more do you want
to do with your life?
I
want for my story of courage, commitment and ambition to reach the souls of
today's troubled youth in hopes to alter that negative path and tailor
tomorrow's leaders with a positive mindset. I want to be a positive
inspiration.
What
drives/motivates you?
Accomplishment!
I love to set goals and reach them. That makes me want more. I thrive from my
own ambition.
What else do you
do?
Outside
of work and school, I cater to my hobbies. I love to paint, travel and learn
new things about the world.
What is your advice
to those who are seeking employment and have no hope?
Create a realistic
plan that will allow you to set gradual steps to your final goal. Be ambitious
and courageous enough to step outside of your normal setting and snatch that
goal. Find a positive within your search. Use that as leverage and motivation.
"Beauty arises from your pursuit. Let ambition by your
drive to accomplishment." - Quinn L. Central
