THE $20 AND A DREAM STORY

When I arrived in the U.S. with $20 in my pocket and a dream in my heart, I believed hard work alone would bring success.
But after years of struggle, I found myself $50,000 in debt, facing bankruptcy, and questioning everything I knew.

Then I discovered that money follows mindset — that true wealth begins within.
By transforming my beliefs, I became debt-free in three years, built multiple million-dollar ventures, and now teach others how to achieve the same.
