Before Instagram, I was still an entrepreneur. I was working with my family to expand our small businesses. We own preschools in Texas, and like everyone else, I used Instagram and Facebook to pass time and keep up with friends.
I’d always dreamt of being a writer, though. I put the final touches on a fantasy book in 2015, and I did what every aspiring writer does. I began to pitch literary agents.
Looking back, I was a bit too optimistic when I hit send. I remember anxiously refreshing my email every day, hoping there’d be even one “send me more” in my inbox—but no. All I got was a steady stream of rejections.
I was frustrated with getting told “no,” so I decided then that I would become so big, no publisher would ignore me.


Instagram allowed me to achieve the following results:
Over $100,000
15k followers
Featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, Huffington Post, Journeys to Success Radio, Texas Business Radio, Houston Chronicle, and more
And the most important….I co-authored a best-selling book Journeys to Success: The Millennial Edition.
