Hi I'm Amber
I help women learn Canva to make money
SNAPSHOT OF ME
WHERE DO I START...
I wanted it all...
Hi I'm Amber born and raised here in Hawaii. I come from a very humble upbringing. Our family was very poor. My mom was the main bread winner and with no college degree she struggled to make enough to support me and my 2 sisters and my dads drug habit. My dad was a very abusive man and ended up spending 10 years in prison for the crimes against us - it was wonderful to see my mom FREE of my dad for 10 years... She was so happy!
My childhood taught me a lot. It taught me all the things I didn't want to be. Mean, Abusive, Addicted to Drugs and POOR! I My favorite movie at the time was little mermaid... I could really relate to Ariel yearning to be apart of a different world... I strongly believed that their was a better life for me.
When I found myself pregnant at the age of 19 unmarried I knew this was my chance to start a NEW. So I did. I moved away from my family and started fresh with my baby and baby daddy.
It was hard - I struggled with self worth, depression and the need to people please. BUT I was determined to NOT repeat the cycle of abuse I was raised in. So I read books, listened to Tony Robins and reprogrammed myself every day to be the best version of myself that I could.
I wanted it all!
I wanted to the BEST MOM,
the best home maker, the best wife,
have a high paying career and look
amazing doing it.

My businesses...
I worked so many jobs to provide for my sons. It was actually while I was working that my mind would wander and dream of NOT working - or working from home. I hated being away from my family.
So with my 1st tax return of $5,000 being a unmarried mom I started my 1st business. AND it took off... within 6 months I was making $10,000 a month. So I retired my baby daddy from his construction job that he hated (YES I know there goes my people pleasing - thinking of him before me!!!). I never would have guessed that this startup business would still be my cash cow 20 years later.
With my nagging desire for more I kept starting business after business. Some were total flops while others where wildly successful. It seemed to have a pattern... about 8 flops before I found a gold mine. I must have looked completely crazy to others - I basically just stopped telling anyone what I was doing.
I kept starting business after business and when I hit a gold mine I would build it up for 2 years then sell it. With the chunk of cash I would take lavish family vacations, pay of debt, or invest in our families future.
BUT again that nagging desire wouldn't stop.
I had hit all my financial goals and I still wanted more.
You see the thing was... I always had to hustle.
I always had to work.
Even when we on vacation I had to work.
I wanted to find a way to make money without working!!!
And that's where I started my Passive Income journey about 8 years that led me here to you....

Current Status...
Fast forward to the present, I have gracefully entered into my 40's and both sons are officially adults leaving me to focus on myself and my hubby of over 20 years. It has been scary for me as all I have known is taking care of others and putting them before me. To finally have the time and money to focus JUST on me is really weird.
BUT I am determined to enter into this new chapter of my life with excitement and adventure.
I wake up every morning with full bank accounts and design my days according to what matters most to me. I have the time to AND money to pretty much do ANYTHING or go ANYWHERE I want and it feels amazing.
After experiencing so much success AND failure in my life - I wanted to share my knowledge. Share what worked for me with other women who wanted a similar lifestyle. Had that same burning desire for more in life. So here I am, searching for like minded women that can take my life's ups and downs and use it to get to their goals faster.
