The journey towards Target Funding began at one of the lowest moments of my life. I was in a very difficult relationship and I need to leave. As part of dissolving the connection, I was faced with the reality of filing bankruptcy. It was humiliating, demeaning and defeating. I remember the moment as if was yesterday.

Five minutes after filing bankruptcy I was sitting on a curb right outside the courthouse sobbing my eyes out. I was talking to God and asking “Why now? Why me? Why again? What will I do know? How do I start all over?’.

I picked up my purse and drive back to my small apartment. Two weeks later I received a credit card from Capital One. I was perplexed at the idea that any company would offer any amount of credit after filing bankruptcy. It was in the amount of $ 200. At that moment I had an ‘AHA’ moment. I remember as a young girl playing Monopoly and if you were able to go PASS GO the bank provides you with $ 200.

It was that moment I said “What if I go on a journey to uncover every fund, every grant, every resource for others that are in my dire situation”  For the next 15 years I follow that obsession and reverse engineered how to find the funds.

My credit score went from  a 420 to an 820 and I helped more than 10,000 business entrepreneurs. In 2019, McGraw-Hill published Target Funding and it became a best-selling book in the funding space. Today I work tirelessly to open doors to hard working entrepreneurs that desperately need financing. From SBA lending, to lines of credit, to business grants, to subsidized resources, the goal is to level the funding playing field so everyone has a fair chance to win the game.
