I am a native El Pasoan, born and raised. My dad was an active-duty Army he was from New Jersey, my mom was from Camargo Mexico. As the sixth among seven siblings, our family celebrations for Christmas and birthdays were always a big deal in our home. My father’s military career afforded me the opportunity to travel, including stays in Germany and Fort Carson, Colorado, before we settled back in El Paso. I am the proud mother of two daughters, both of whom are married and mothers themselves. I cherish my role as MIMA to six wonderful grandchildren—two granddaughters and four grandsons. I am thankful for the gift of being a grandmother.
The pivotal moment in my life came with the realization of my God-given purpose: to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others beyond just our family. I am driven by a passion to assist women in building their financial, relational, and spiritual legacies. In 2022 I published a devotional for moms to use as a 21 day inspiration they walk through with their daughters. This was inspired by my personal life experiences, and how I overcame challenges as a divorced mother of two daughters.
1. Tell me what inspired you to initiate this business?
After being turned down for a mortgage loan officer trainer role, I felt inspired to establish a coaching business. I realized that I possessed a valuable tool that had helped me succeed for years. Through my research, I discovered that while there are many ‘how to make money coaching’ programs, comprehensive ground-up training for newly licensed mortgage loan originators was lacking.
2. Why did you decide to join EGBI?
I discovered EGBI when I was seeking affordable coaching on how to market on social media. Meeting Monica came at the perfect time. I chose EGBI because of its invaluable support for the small business community and entrepreneurs like me.
3. Did you encounter any obstacles along the way? If so, how did you
overcome them?
The biggest obstacle I faced was myself. While I could clearly outline my business and ideas on paper, I struggled with doubt and fear when it came to selling the service. Although I believed in what I had to offer, I found it challenging to articulate this to others. I overcame this fear through prayer and by intentionally continuing to build and perfect my offering. Every day, I draw inspiration from other coaches who share powerful messages on how to grow a business.
4. How does your business differ from others?
T&T Myers Consulting stands out because we focus on building a strong foundation of detailed mortgage knowledge, ensuring that mortgage professionals can achieve long-term success. Our unique business tool serves as a crucial building block, helping mortgage professionals advance in their careers.
5. Tell us a fun fact about yourself
One of my favorite rainy-day activities is binge-watching Law and Order-Criminal Intent with a bowl of buttery popcorn.
6. Are you happy with what you have achieved?
I would not necessarily say happy, I am shocked with all I have done in such a short period of time. The pressure that has come with stepping out on faith comes with accountability; gifts and abilities I did not know I possessed have been pressed out of me. I am fulfilled, and overjoyed because I know there is more on the horizon.
7. How has EGBI helped you?
EGBI has given me a new appreciation for entrepreneurship. My confidence has grown significantly, and I’ve learned how to approach my business with renewed courage and determination. I’ve met some amazing and creative business owners who are also living their dreams.
