8 years ago, I expanded my business and purchased a dry cleaning plant. It cost me $75k - which was all of the money I had back then. Pictured is my second employee I ever hired, Pilar. We worked every day together, building MY DREAM. She watched me learn, struggle, get my heart broken, fail in business expansions, struggle through a fire BUT she also watched me build 7 successful companies, find the love of my life, and build my dream. She taught me everything I know about cleaning and Spanish, and in return I taught her English. She is my ride or die in business, an integral part to all of my success, but also a friend. She offers me something money can’t buy, loyalty. Loyalty is earned. #entrepreneurship #loyalty
