What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
A best reaction I got was from a workshop participant. She said, “…She really made me re-evaluate myself, and made me believe that the goals that I want to accomplish can be done. The steps that she explained…were so realistic.” -Latisha W. (Me, Myself & I workshop participant)
