Initial Public Offering (IPO)

Enterprise stems from finding solutions to existing problems. While watching the television show "Shark Tank," many years ago, I remember thinking of Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran as people who I could never be like. I saw them so far away, like stars in the sky, and they are, they are extremely successful entrepreneurs. However, I do not see their success as unattainable now. I see it very close at hand when I attempt to build a project that started in March of 2023.

I was in Chicago, about to sit down for the Regulation section of the CPA exam when tragedy struck, I encountered a personal tragedy that crippled me mentally and physically. I could not get myself together to be present for the awaited moment so I could prove I had studied, long and hard, at the library, at home and any other place I could find suitable. That experience taught me a lot, it taught me that I needed to be prepared not only intellectually but physically and logistically.

Fast forward three years and I am building my dream, one day at a time. I often ask myself: "How can I help?" The answer I come across time and time again is: help myself first, then help others. In other words, put my mask on first and then help my neighbor, exemplifying an airplane scene.

My dream is simple, I want to help end homelessness in New York City and I want to go public.

My goal is to bring awareness to problems that the city and I have faced together, to make it possible for everyone to live at their best without owing an answer to the government. We can all live the best version of ourselves by being entrepreneurs of our own dream!

Last night, as I was walking, I noticed the full moon and so the caption on the picture above explains the purpose of the image, no other than to show nature, to show an image of the night as I walk home and a moment that inspires me to continue trying to be an accountant, to prepare each tax return I file with care and each set of books with the most attention to detail possible. I am and will always be Monica Stagnaro...
