Summary
I discovered my true passion during J-term when I launched Growth Corner Marketing, combining my psychology background with my drive to help local businesses thrive. After watching my dad's insurance agency struggle with digital marketing, I stepped in and transformed his results - boosting organic search, increasing page views, and dropping bounce rates through strategic SEO and customer psychology. I've built this into a system that works for any small business, using GoHighLevel to create powerful automations and marketing funnels. And so far? We've hit $300 monthly revenue with 2 clients, and I'm charging toward my goal of 8 clients by August. I'm not just building a business - I'm creating a movement to empower local entrepreneurs.

The business currently generates $300 monthly revenue from 2 clients and aims to scale to 8 customers by August 2023 while focusing on three core services: lead generation, lead conversion, and increasing customer lifetime value.
