Most people don't bring their families or they're single going, you know, cause they're younger going through this training, but they don't bring their families, and I didn't have a choice.
Imagine growing up in an abusive home, working from age nine just to buy your own clothes, and facing unimaginable challenges by the time you're a teenager. That's the beginning of Sylvia Hampel's story. In this gripping episode of 'Never by the Book', host Kelly Schols sits down with Sylvia to discuss her journey from hardship to success.
At 15, Sylvia was sexually molested by her supervisor at her first job in a fast-food restaurant, which led to an unexpected pregnancy. Determined to escape her abusive home, she moved out with her infant daughter and worked multiple jobs to support them. Despite these overwhelming obstacles, Sylvia graduated high school with honors. Her resilience didn't stop there.
Sylvia went on to adopt two children and built a cleaning business from scratch, eventually growing it into an $18 million enterprise with over 500 employees across four states. Her story is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of perseverance. This episode isn't just about Sylvia's business success; it's about her unwavering determination to rise above her circumstances and find happiness in giving back to others.
Tune in to hear how Sylvia transformed her life and became an advocate for women entrepreneurs. Her journey is sure to inspire anyone facing their own battles.
