Company/organization description

Positive Next Steps is a company that was built with such passion to teach others that commitment will bring about possibilities. I am truly dedicated to helping people move past existing into living life so that they can see the person that they were meant to be. I also am on a mission to help others realize that they do have value in this world. Working on your critical self talk is paramount and by making changes to ensure you start taking Positive Next Steps is what my company stands for.

Tell us about the entrepreneurial milestones you accomplished?

During the past year, Positive Next Steps has reached and helped more people than was the original goal. With the pandemic still upon all of us, it was more important than ever to continue to ensure that people were able to alleviate their stress and work through their fears & anxieties. Positive Next Steps held many online webinars, classes, and Zoom meetings to help others with their mindset in order to unlock their true potential. The podcast will begin March, 2022 as well as online courses.

Community Builder

Tell us about your community building activities in 2020?

Community builder is one who shows empathy and compassion for all people and that is what I have been able to achieve even more of this past year as I have expanded my social contacts. Through these various channels, I have been able to be an active leader in helping others achieve their goals and to help them make changes that are needed for their future life dreams.

What community building goals did you accomplish or milestones did you hit in 2020?

As I stated above, being able to expand locally as well as on the social media front, I have been able to exceed all goals that were set for 2021. The hope is that with the podcast ( our next milestone ), an even greater amount of people will be impacted by my company and will see that they can take Positive Next Steps to make their life even better. We all have places in our life where we are blocked. Working together, we will identify those blocks and find ways for you to overcome them.
