Where are your from?

I was born in Michigan and then we moved when I was nine months old to Arizona, California so I would say that I’m a little bit more of a mutt because I’m not really lived in one place for any long period of time predominantly the West Coast.

BY TRINA BOYD

What made you decide to start your business?

All of my businesses were ideas of what

How often do you travel during the year?

I traveled 4 to 5 times a year. I always try to incorporate some type of work related with personal in my travel.

it is to be a serial entrepreneur providing change sustainability and most of all making a difference in our community.

Being a single mom of triplets I knew one revenue stream was not gonna be enough to raise children. I’ve been a hairdresser since I was 15 and owned a salon since I was 27 years old. Queen City Metal Recycling was a way to make a difference and I have a different revenue stream outside of my comfort

What mistakes did you make in your business on your way up the ladder?

The biggest mistake that I’ve made in my business is understanding you cannot take it personal when people don’t have the level of commitment and drive that you do to make a difference in your financial net worth and hustle. I love what I do so I don't really consider it work IT IS PASSION!

zone in the work place. Going from fashion to timberland's :) incorporating a 501c-3 prison reform has really brought change to the lives of families which has brought great joy. Now With Pet Porter my mobile app I am truly challenging the limits of what it is to do a start up company. Pet Porter will revolutionize time management and transportation for pet owners with the corporate headquarters in Charlotte.

Out of all of your cars, what is your favorite car to drive?

Cars are a passion of mine and I’ve loved them all but I would have to say my McLaren 720 S spyder.

What are 5 decisions that you made in your business that contributed to your success?

Some of the successes has been to always remember at the end of the day people will remember how you treat them. Never giving up and when someone says no it doesn’t mean that that couldn’t be a possible yes in the future. For me, the most important piece in my business has always been have integrity.

Do what you say and say what you mean.

Any business advice for small businesses trying to make their first million in business?

Money and success follows when you put your heart and soul into the project . You truly have to have laser focus on what you want.
