Tinli Yarrington is my online business manager. She also runs a very successful business with employees, and she's only 25 years old. I wanted to talk with Tinli today because I'm fascinated with the fact that she cracked the code and became a successful entrepreneur at 25. She's an inspiration for how she is doing things that others only dream about at such a young age. 

She shares her story and how her engineering job didn't feel right. She eventually discovered being an online VA but was able to move to an online business manager who offers high levels of support so that entrepreneurs can focus on their zones of genius. We also learn about her plans, dreams, and goal to travel. There are also a lot of insights about the importance of asking for and receiving help.
