In this powerful episode of Attractive Mindset Season 4 – Story Time, Mimi opens up about starting 2025 at rock bottom—dealing with betrayal, business loss, legal battles tied to her father’s estate, and the mental pressure that comes with rebuilding when it feels like nobody’s in your corner.

She shares what it really looks like to recover after everything crashes, how she fired multiple lawyers and took control of the process herself, and the mindset shift that helped her move from survival mode into a comeback season heading into 2026.

You’ll hear real lessons on entrepreneurship, discipline, teamwork, and the truth about why friends don’t always support you when you start leveling up.

In this episode, we cover:

• Betrayal from friends vs family and how it impacts growth
• Business struggle, legal pressure, and learning to take control
• Trucking industry lessons, driver issues, and cash flow realities
• Expanding too fast, losing money, and rebuilding the right way
• Recovery mindset, daily discipline, faith, and mental strength
• Imposter syndrome and confidence for women in business

If you’re going through a hard season in business or life, this conversation will hit different. You don’t look like what you’ve been through.

In Part 2 of our Demesmin & Dover series, we shift from the origin story to the real build — how they grew a law firm from survival mode into a multi-office operation.

the most powerful moment isn’t about revenue — it’s about impact:
They share the moment they realized they were truly successful… when they bought an employee a car and presented it in front of the entire staff — because “success was that you’re in a position where you can bless other people.”

They also talk about:

• Delayed gratification in business
• Why culture beats productivity
• Why “money will come if you become the best”
• How fear holds people back from starting
• Why legacy matters more than material success

In Part 1 of our Demesmin & Dover series, we’re not starting with wins — we’re starting with the real story.

Jeremy shares what it was like growing up with a mom on disability and a father battling a drinking problem, then experiencing a life-altering medical emergency where, in his words, “you died… they had to shock you back.” He also opens up about losing his mother three days after graduation, arriving in Miami with no money, and being “homeless technically for a month in law school.”

Vic’s background is different — raised in a Haitian household where education mattered, and a father who was constantly pivoting as industries changed: travel agency → real estate → insurance → mortgage. That adaptability became a mindset: “no matter what, we’re always going to find a solution.”

And then — the moment that ties it together: they meet in court, and what starts as a joke turns into a partnership that would eventually become Demesmin & Dover.

Attractive Mindset (Season 4) is a 2-part story series:
Part 1: The background story — who they were before success
Part 2: The current them — how they flourished and scaled

Watch Part 2 next week for the business gems: how they started, scaled, and built Demesmin & Dover through real adversity.
