Bronx NYI'm a single mom. I raise my daughter by myself with no help from her father did the best I could to give my daughter everything. She graduated high school in a top private school in the city, Hewitt High School. As for me, now I own my own business. I work for myself doing everything I love and for fun I do standup comedy, thanks to The Secret.
I worked at a nail salon for 16 years and my boss was not a nice man. Every time he came back from gambling, if he lost he would take it out on us. One year I was going to school full time and working part time and he took away my $50 bonus for the Luna New Year. All my clients kept saying I needed to get out of there, I have too much potential to stay at this place. I was scared because I was comfortable there, plus I had no other money saved. How could I start something if I did not have any money? Every week I had to borrow my work money in advance to pay my bills. So I never thought that I would leave that nail salon.
One day he let 3 worker go on vacation and then made me go to work on my day off. I had had enough of his bullshit. I told him “If you don’t know how to run your business that is not my problem.”. Well, he didn’t like what I said to him. He said “It is better that you work from home.”. He stood up on the chair and took down my license and handed it to me. I said thank you, happily.
I took his advice and I worked from home for 2 weeks. Whatever I made in that 2 weeks I put it together and rented a studio for work. After 3 months I sent my old boss flowers and a thank you card “Thank you for the push. Without you I would not be where I am today.”.
It has been almost 3 years now. I work for myself and I am so happy. I have my own website www.dolledupspa.com. I have everything I need work wise, and also in my also personal life. I do everything I love doing because now I am a licensed Tattoo Artist, Esthetician, Nail Technician and I have many other certifications. I am no longer stuck doing only nails. For fun I also do standup comedy. I perform at Carolines On Broadway. Thanks to The Secret I accomplished everything I had dreamed of and I became everything I wanted to be.
