Asked what motivated him to build his company and create opportunities for other people, Darnell Fontenot shared that growing up impoverished has driven him to help those in need. “The struggle will make you even stronger than ever before and will make you hungry for success,” the entrepreneur said. His online business changed his life and symbolized his perseverance for success over the years.
Darnell Fontenot has come a long way. At nine years old, he was separated from his biological mother and sent into the foster system. From one home to another, Darnell struggled to find his place. Nevertheless, the challenges made him a man of God. Eventually, Darnell was adopted by a wonderful family who further nurtured his faith. “My adopted mother passed away two years ago and my adopted dad passed away five years ago. I’m going to continue to make them proud and build my travel business as much as possible,” Darnell said.
Additionally, Darnell Fontenot is motivated by the multi-millionaire entrepreneur Dan Lok. “I have always been inspired by Dan Lok. His story was somewhat similar to mine. He has been into poverty and been through so much in his life which is the same thing I went through,” he said. Like his idol, Darnell has successfully overcome his situation and took a 360-degree turn.
In five years, Darnell Fontenot shared that he envisions his travel company to become bigger and reach more people around the world, employing more into his team and leaving a positive impact on others. “I want to inspire as many people as possible that they too can start their own business and be very successful in life. With God all things are possible,” shared the entrepreneur.
