Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones

Thanh Vo's Educational & Professional Background and story

Thanh Vo's story is one of unwavering resilience and relentless pursuit of a better future. Growing up in Vietnam, Thanh came from a modest background, where opportunities were limited, and the odds often felt stacked against her. But her determination to rewrite her story was more substantial than any obstacle.

​

The Early Years: A Detour into Media Production

Thanh dreamed of attending business school, a path she believed would lead her to success. However, her entrance exam score of 13.5/30 prevented her from securing a spot in the competitive business program. With limited options, Thanh accepted a place in Media Production at Hoa Sen University, where she studied for three years.

While media production honed her creative abilities, Thanh felt unfulfilled. Deep down, she knew this wasn't her true calling. Instead of resigning herself to a path that didn't align with her aspirations, she took an extraordinary leap: to start over in America, where there were no age limits or societal barriers to chasing one's dreams.

Reinventing Herself in America

Thanh's journey to the United States wasn't just a change of location but a complete transformation of mindset and purpose. Determined to turn her setbacks into opportunities, she enrolled at Richland College and pursued a Hospitality, Exhibitions, and Event Management (HEEM) degree.

But Thanh didn't stop there. She took advantage of America's wealth of educational opportunities, earning additional certifications in business, psychology, law, and fashion. Over the years, she explored diverse career paths, even considering becoming an attorney or fashion designer. Through these experiences, Thanh discovered her true passion: empowering others to overcome challenges, just as she had done.

Becoming a Life Coach and Entrepreneur

Thanh's life experiences inspired her to become a life coach and establish her own company. Her mission is to help individuals from underprivileged backgrounds realize that failure is not the end but a stepping stone to success. Thanh's coaching focuses on guiding people to transform their lives, rewrite their stories, and achieve their dreams—no matter their starting point.

Her business isn't just a career; it's a personal crusade. Thanh understands firsthand what it feels like to face rejection, doubt, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. Her ability to connect with others facing similar struggles sets her apart as a mentor and leader.

​

A Mission Rooted in Experience

Thanh's journey from a poor, underprivileged background in Vietnam to becoming a successful entrepreneur in America is more than inspiring—it's a beacon of hope for others. Her story proves that setbacks are not failures but opportunities to pivot and grow.

Thanh now dedicates her life to helping others transform their lives. Whether through one-on-one coaching, workshops, or motivational events, she empowers individuals to embrace their unique journeys and create the futures they deserve.
