My baby is called the creditassist.com , I help people fix their credit , in a world where credit holds more weight than cash , I help my community by allowing them to get to that next level , whether it's buying your first home for passive income or just getting that luxury car you have always wanted .
FGM: Who are the clients/what are the projects that you most enjoy working on?
I love working with my Latin community, we tend to be very ignorant when it comes to credit. Bankruptcy is my specialty; it gives me a challenge . its so easy to go apply for bankruptcy but they make it difficult for you to try and remove it from your credit report that’s where I come in.
FGM: How do you feel you make a difference in the world?

FGM: Tell us about a time when you showed determination to continue as an entrepreneur
I came here with no papers , I was an immigrant , when you have no choice but to work and deal with people who talk down to you because they know your illegal , you start thinking I cant work for anyone but myself. I cant take somebody telling me what to do.
FGM: Give me the three best qualities of your brand.
Audience knowledge, consistency, passion
FGM: Give me an example of when you worked irregular hours?
I work irregular hours everyday , I don’t want to go back to a 9-5 that’s not for me. I work late and on the weekends , in my business if I get 8hours of sleep that’s difficult , I am a curious person , I read , I google , I pride myself in learning new things so I can teach my clients.
FGM: Being a entrepreneur is a 24/7 job, how did you get ready for that?
Answer: the day I got fired from my regular job and saw my position posted two days later. I knew there was a reason why this was happening.

FGM: What is your favorite inspirational point, place, to develop new brand developments?

Answer: mark Cuban. Have you read his back story? He was a bartender when he started look at him now. I love how aggressive he is , his style is cocky but humble
