We had the good fortune of connecting with Toiekka McFadden and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Toiekka, what do you attribute your success to?
The driving force behind my success lies in the unwavering support and encouragement I receive from a network of incredible individuals. My success story is deeply intertwined with the steadfast support of my husband, the uplifting presence of friends and my son, the unconditionally supportive family members, and the invaluable connection with my social media family. Their belief in me serves as a constant reminder of the value of my brand and the importance of perseverance. I am profoundly grateful for these pillars of support, as they not only celebrate my achievements but also inspire and motivate me to keep pushing boundaries and reaching new heights. Their collective belief in my potential fuels my determination, creating a synergy that propels me forward in my endeavors. Each one of these connections contributes significantly to my journey, reinforcing the notion that success is a shared endeavor, and I am fortunate to have such a remarkable support system propelling me toward continued growth and accomplishment.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business journey as a business funding coach and author has been both rewarding and challenging. What sets me apart is my commitment to helping individuals invest in themselves and their businesses by securing funding through various avenues like loans, grants, and lines of credit. I also provide valuable expertise in structuring businesses for success.

Starting this venture over two years ago, I encountered challenges in maintaining motivation and focus. Overcoming these hurdles involved a dedication to staying motivated and honing my focus on the mission. Through this experience, I’ve learned that support often comes from unexpected places, strangers can be your biggest advocates, and every step you take may inspire someone else on their journey.

I want the world to know that my brand is built on empowerment and support. My story is not just about funding; it’s about inspiring individuals to believe in their potential and take bold steps towards their aspirations. The journey may not always be easy, but it’s the passion for helping others that keeps me moving forward, and I’m excited about the positive impact we can collectively create in the business world.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Whenever my best friend visits, our go-to tradition is indulging in delicious tacos. A must-visit spot is El Gave in downtown Florence, offering fantastic taco options. For a more upscale experience, Victors Downtown Florence is our choice. Downtown Florence is the perfect destination with its array of hotspots, including shopping, bars, delightful eateries like El Gave and Victors, and even relaxing spas. It’s the ultimate hub for a variety of experiences that we both cherish during our time together.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to express my gratitude with a special shout-out to my husband, Eric, whose unwavering support has been my anchor. To my son Emory, you inspire me with your resilience. A heartfelt thank you to my family and friends for their boundless love and encouragement. And a special mention to my incredible social media family – your positivity and engagement have added a unique and uplifting dimension to my journey. Each of you holds a special place in my heart, and I am truly thankful for the remarkable support that fuels my endeavors.
