Happy 2022! I’m finally living my purposeful life and couldn’t be happier!
Being born into an immigrant family in a dying photography business at the time, we didn’t have much and never went on vacations ever. I grew up in the poor areas in NJ and I felt the pressure constantly to get into a good college, get a 9-5, and live the everyday corporate life which is not what I wanted. I knew I was born to lead people and an organization but I just didn’t know how to do it and I was honestly fearful.
After studying engineering at Cornell University, I had an opportunity to go to rural India where my life changed forever. I saw the need for clean water and I took a graduate class in this. So I came back, asked my friends to join me, got just $300 to start it off and now 6 years later, FOREFRONT Charity, the non-profit I started, was named Forbes’ Next 1000, speak at global conferences, and I have so much purpose in my life. I would not trade anything in the world for this and I get to impact people on my team and globally!
Here’s what I did:
1) It doesn’t matter how much starting funds you have, if you have an idea and you see a problem you want to fix, you can get started.
2) Start small. I started with one small charity concert at a college and a college friend.
3) But Dream BIG. In the first month, we designed a 3-5 year strategy, organizational structure, and brand messaging. This is what we told the world and everyone joined us.
Especially with the pandemic, we are all looking for purpose. I know you want that idea in your head to come to life and I’m here to tell you that IT’S POSSIBLE and WORTH IT! I have no regrets with taking my first plunge. I’m here to guide you, mentor you, and walk you in the right steps to avoid setbacks and help you double your investment!
Also all proceed goes to charity so I will help your business while you are providing basic life necessities such as clean water to those who are in need in underserved communities!
