ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
From toxic job to bankruptcy to multiple six figures—this is the REAL story of how I built Beyond Business Solutions. And yes, I'm sharing the parts most entrepreneurs won't tell you. 💔➡️💪
Welcome to Part 3 of my interview series with Cashe Thompson! This episode gets REAL about my journey—the mistakes, the surrender, the dark seasons, and how God used relationships to rebuild everything.
What You'll Discover in This Episode:
In this raw, vulnerable conversation, Cashe and I discuss:
✨ Why I quit my job at 25 with a mortgage and no real plan (young and dumb, but God had me!)
✨ The toxic work environment that led to health issues—I was pre-diabetic and miserable
✨ How my former employer offered me consulting work that doubled my income after I quit
✨ The original business name that nobody could pronounce (Aurora Neche Business Services 😂)
✨ Filing for bankruptcy after a decade in business—the shame, the darkness, and the surrender
✨ Losing my business partner 4 months postpartum while income dropped to $25K
✨ The Abraham and Isaac moment: When God tested my heart with my savings
✨ How I rebuilt a multiple six-figure business through the power of relationships
✨ Why "no person, place, or condition is my supply"—only God
✨ The gift my former business partner gave me by leaving
