Through that instilled a no fear, don't give up, mentality to persevere through any hardship or setback within business and life. If you ask Dr. Sonia there is no plan B was only Plan A. Her first week goal upon opening her clinic was to pay the employees and not pay herself. A tribute to a solid leader, and since that point she has never looked back.Also, taking customer service above and beyond is one her company's top priorities, which has led to multiple awards within the healthcare industry.Having a strong mindset is the biggest hurdle before scaling up her company, and making sure her business is running 80% without her before acquiring another clinic.
