Trina graduated from college in 2009, and there were not very many jobs available. She continued working in the service industry when she graduated. Trina loved gardening in her own yard, so her customers started asking her to plant their own flowers. Her first year (Apr-Jun), she generated $10,000 in revenue. She decided that the following year, when she turned 30, she’d be full-time. She met her goal and generated $175k the first year she was full time. Trina knew from the beginning that this landscaping company would be a steppingstone. She wanted it to be a lifestyle company or sell it within 5 years. It took 8, but she did it! Interestingly, Trina studied constantly about how to be a leader. She learned a lot about herself and did a lot of work on herself while she was running the business. The business operations weren’t the hard part – it was the people. Trina is a big believer in setting goals, and one of those was becoming an accredited investor. Like her other goals, she hit that, too. The two go into detail about Trina’s goals and how she sets them. In the near term, she wants to spend the nice months in Arizona (she lives up north). She’s also, of course, working on her online business. Her big goals push her on her smaller goals.
