One of the best decisions I made was to start my own company. After spending a solid year hustling my ass off and losing some nights of sleep, I had established myself as an LA dancer. This was a huge deal to me! Moreover, the amount of success I had in such a short amount of time was fairly unheard of. Again, it wasn't from an insane amount of talent or some crazy supernatural gift I had. It was only from working incredibly hard, non-stop, for a year. And that was were I found my great success. 

As I came around to my anniversary of being a dancer and making it a part-time job that supplemented for half my income, I stumbled on an opportunity at Rainbow Bar & Grill. Having been married to a musician previously, I knew this was a worldwide famous spot in the rock world so I was pretty thrilled about the opportunity to dance there.

After having my moment on stage, the band manager approached me and asked me to return to dance there weekly. The funny thing was, he wanted me to do it for fun. No pay only tips. Three 45 minute sets of dancing to hardcore rock and roll music. I thought he was crazy for even thinking I would say yes. At this point, I still did a few occasional free gigs, but only for big exposure. This was becoming my profession so I wasn't going to bend over backwards to try to make a few tips for fun.

Nevertheless, I started to find it helpful to occasionally return to make a little pocket money. I never thought or expected that I would make big money there, but I figured I could get a little going for myself. Over the span of two months of popping by occasionally, I watched as the band manager struggled to find more dancers. He had a vision, just didn't know how to make it happen. I started to realize that this was a world famous bar in need of gogo dancers. I also started to remember that I knew plenty of dancers who were really wanting to get in the gogo scene but didn't have the right connection to do so. It was in that moment that I saw that I had tapped into a land mine filled with gold. 

I told the band manager that if he wanted it, I would hold an audition to hire girls to gogo dancers. He didn't know where I would find them or how I would do it, but he told me to go for it. On the audition day, girls came. 

Starting on New Years, I launched my new project and had four girls dance at a new after hours spot that the band manager was opening up. We had a pole and fire going along with top notch gogo dancing. At the end of the night, I sat with the girls, all of whom were friends from past jobs and looked at them. I looked at Aly in the eyes (who was later to become one of my right hand ladies) and said, "I can start a company out of this." She stared back at me and nodded. I could see in her eyes that she believed in me just as much as I knew I could believe in myself. As soon as I knew she had my back, I was set.

It's been six months since that day and together with my amazing team, we've already established ourselves with two solid residencies, our own production, a tour to New York and getting booked at major events. It goes without saying, but time has shown me and proved to me that I was meant for this. So many little building blocks and steps along the way all tied together for the one divine moment that I would be given a chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

Life always has a way of preparing us for what we need to do. I once had a professor tell me that nothing was ever wasted in the economy of God. If we trust the process, everything always comes around in a full circle
