We had the good fortune of connecting with Raina The Goal Getter Knox and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Raina The Goal Getter, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
Yes , “Be the change you wanna see in the world “
What it means to me is that be kind to people we never know what people go through. I am that person that nobody knew I was fighting for my life and wish I could tell someone without the judgement. It means reach out and help when you can I watch many that could have helped me along the way went on about they life I wanna change that is why I started a newly launched nonprofit to be able to do so.

Raina The Goal Getter is a mother/best selling author of 4 published books a domestic violence survivor business owner and motivational speaker. Raina is a native of Dayton Ohio She currently resides in Fairburn,Ga I also recently launched a nonprofit called Raina Inspires Inc Was it easy absolutely not there are plenty blood sweat and tears behind this grind. You gotta want it as bad as you wanna breathe as Eric Thomas says he is definitely someone who keeps me going .My lessons I have learned research information for yourself because sometimes tell you wrong information. Always be open to learn I am still learning the business and accept constructive criticism. It is the only way you will grow. Also invest in your dream sometimes you have to pay for conferences job coaches etc .I want people to know it’s not how you start a game it’s how you finish. I was counted out for having 6 kids . Folks laughed at my struggle who could have helped. God will bless you right in front of your enemies. I feel ifI hadn’t not went through my struggles I wouldn’t experience what I am today Gratitude is my new Attitude and I will pay it forward through my nonprofit Raina Inspires Inc stay tuned

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My mom deserves a shoutout she listen to my cries she pushed me to never give up even when I wanted to give up on life itself. My mom always there for others and forget herself I want her to know because of her mother prayers I made it through She watched me go from Homeless To Best Selling Author when everyone counted me out she deserves so much and I can’t wait to bless my mom one day My kids they are my WHY they are why I am I fought they say the cream always rose to the top so true
