I poured the Kool-Aid into ice cube trays,
inserted toothpicks, and called them “Cubesicles.”
When I realized my neighbors were willing to plunk
down double the money for my Cubesicles,
a zealous entrepreneur was born.
With one more mouth to feed, I searched for a way
to provide for my children. Then one day, I realized my neighbors’ unattended fruit trees were going to waste,
so I asked their permission to harvest them. I canned
and bottled over 1,000 jars of fruits and vegetables,
which fed my children and kept us going.
One sweltering August afternoon, while delivering cheese, we ran out of gas. Yep, just like in the movies. Hoisting my two youngest children in my arms and ensuring the other three held hands for safety, we walked along the side of the busy highway, searching for a gas station. I was petrified. Everyone was crying – including me.
All I could think was, “This can’t be my life!”
As awful and humiliating as that experience was,
it instantly became the impetus for my first official business. Instead of delivering the cheese myself,
I realized I would make more money with less
upheaval for my children if I collaborated with others.
So, I franchised the cheese sales to several other
moms and ran that business from my tiny kitchen
desk. Voila! The grit and determination my father
instilled in me saved our lives again.
As the events of my life have unfolded, I realize just how strategic and significant my years on the river have been to my personal growth and my growth as a business person.
For my most recent birthday, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via one of the most challenging routes. I never gave it
a second thought that I wouldn’t make it to the summit.
Trust me, each one took grit. For me, once I take that first step,
I won’t quit until I get there, whether that’s figuring out how to provide for my family,
climbing a mountain, or starting a new business.
I decided to turn the book into an online course. Having done this before the “old-fashioned way,” I knew it would take at least six months and eight people to accomplish the vision I had in mind. I thought, I bet I could do it for faster with AI. I was correct, and my new business, Savantz.ai, was born.
Let me know what the Savantz Team can do to make it better, and we will,
because when we take the first step, we always take the last step,
and it doesn’t matter what happens in between because we know that…
You are here because you’re ready to go from Brain to Bank.
You’re ready to take the next steps to get your product or service into the hands of consumers and you’ll do whatever it takes to get it there.
This book will serve as your “pit crew,” supporting you at every turn. I’m yelling and screaming for you to keep driving, go the distance, and cross the finish line as a winner.
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!
