We had the good fortune of connecting with Cynthia K Gary and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cynthia K, can you tell us about a book that has had a meaningful impact on you?
A book I’ve read that I absolutely loved and can’t wait to actually read again is “Think and Grow Rich” I liked this book because it taught you just how powerful you are when you control your thoughts and allow the burning desire in you to keep burning. It had a major impact on my life and helped me to activate my 6th sense more.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business is a consulting firm that specializes in business to business services, helping small business owners make their ideas and goals reality. What sets my company and myself apart from others is we actually care and provide ongoing support, resources, and we go above and beyond to help you find your passion and develop your business if you don’t know what to do or where to start. We sell experiences and not just products or services.

What I am most proud of is that at the end of completing a service, I’ve helped another entrepreneur or small business owner get one step closer to being successful and building a successful business.

I got to where I am today by not giving up and not being told what I can or can’t do. When I was convicted of a felony, it was extremely difficult to pick the pieces back up and get a career worth having so that gave me the push I needed to show people it’s not over for you just because someone says you’re not good enough and that just because you make a mistake or run into road bumps it doesn’t mean you can’t continue the journey and set a positive example.

It wasn’t easy self educating myself in a lot of ways and learning how to be a business owner; but you can overcome the challenges like I did by staying focused, being disciplined and setting goals with a plan to achieve them.

The lessons I’ve learned along the way is never be afraid to invest in your skill set and expanding your business. Never be afraid to learn from others mistakes and follow someone who is successful and where you hope to one day be; it’s a big difference between being inspired and copying someone, be inspired and let that inspiration fuel you.

I want the world to know that you control your story and the trajectory of your life, never give up no matter how hard it gets, do not fret, the only way to lose is by quitting. I also want the world to know that you will never have it all together you just have to get started. I was a full time student, mother and daughter trying to grow spiritually and find my way with god during my journey and with all of that on my plate I still did it because you can do anything when you want it just as much as you want to live life. Never give up and you’ll never lose you’ll only learn.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting the area for a week, our first stop would be brunch and mimosas at Tupelo honey. I love art so we’d plan a trip to the Dallas museum and learn about the history of the city as well as the history of the world and different cultures. It would be mandatory for us to eat at Lolo’s chicken and waffles as well as Gloria’s Latin cuisine. Some fun places to hang out would be Happiest hour, Vidora, Stir and again, Gloria’s Latin cuisine because they have a variety of food options and the drinks are amazing.

For a nice dinner with a view we’d also visit reunion tower where we can look over Dallas skyline.

If it’s nice out we could always hop on the trolly at klyde Warren park and get a tour of the city and make a few stops along the way.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The person I want to dedicate my shoutout to is my Dad. My dad taught me a lot of life values, how to have a good attitude and strive for greatness no matter how tough things get, the tough gets going. My dad has always and still does believe in me and everything I stand for and his support keeps me going.
