Today we’d like to introduce you to Caleb Ross
Hi Caleb, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story is a bit sad never thought I’ll be writing about my success. It started after finding my mother dead at the age 18, I had a lot of dreams and aspirations but never realized the power I had. For instance my mother was a very inspirational person in my life she taught us everything from credit to ownership. When you first hear my mother died you wouldn’t phantom what I would go through but I learned to survive. After my family abandoned me I had to learn some trades I knew I didn’t want to pursue a degree but a career that would make me money fast. That’s when I was pulled into a mechanic shop, throughout working in a shop I learned everything from the ground up and I knew I could run one myself. I lost a lot throughout the process from my brother stealing all of my money I saved up to open my shop to him kicking me out ! I moved to Houston in 2020 with my girlfriend Ariel at the time and her patience and character made me who I am today! I came along way honestly I did and I hope from reading my story you’ll learn to never give up continue to thrive throughout everything! Now look at me I have one of the best detailing and mechanic shops around! We’re in the process of opening two more locations and a school for kids to work and gain an education also!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No it wasn’t after losing my mother a day before college I felt stuck. Throughout my life my mother was my biggest motivation. A lot of people come up with excuses on why they couldn’t become something but I broke that curse. I was told NO by a lot but I didn’t let that stop me . Originally from Louisiana going to a bigger state was different. The way you were taught others weren’t and I had to use every leverage available. Being from a smaller town really helped me a lot my teaching were to make something out of myself , it’s not about the start but the finish.
