Not too sure if anyone knew this but my family’s business was called Video King. I lived, breathed our legacy since I was 14 years old. I became the entrepreneur that I am today due to the fact that the opportunities were available to me to learn from the bottom up with business. Video King was a family owned business where at one point it was a million dollar company. My dads nickname was called “The Godfather” as he was the King of business. I feel the story of my life will always be touched by the knowing that my family created incomes for thousands of rural mama and pappa stores weather it was a grocery store, hardware store or gas station. We had over a thousand locations where we carried our beta, vhs and dvd movies. Right out of high school I managed my own video store for many years. As time went by competition hit us like Rogers Video and Blockbuster. They eventually wiped us out to a smaller scale. There are so many stories that can be shared but you will see a documentary on CBC soon. This will be aired with my ex business partner and my ex fiancé. He will be sharing his side of the story but my side starts with a little girl home alone with my brother as my parents drove town to town creating a business making connections with small businesses to put our movies in there stores to rent out to customers. Dedication and success is embedded within myself. I strive to be humble, authentic and to make a difference. My personal skills and past experiences shines through the legacy of my dad to whom has passed. But now through the essence I still learn from my dad on an energetic level. He will always be my teacher to create the change within myself to empower, heal and trust and be unique. I’m grateful for the teachings that life has to offer and having these experiences that will always be in my heart. As I personally expand my gifts as a healer, teacher, step-mother, entrepreneur and living my authentic life. I’m truly grateful for my childhood experiences as my uniqueness carries out into this world to shine bright and have that knowing that my dad is and will always be by my side through the thick and thin of life.
