Treya Tolbert
CEO
Trailer International
Treya Tolbert is the CEO of Trailer International. She oversees international business management as well as, designs, executes and oversees the building of custom trailers for European clients. Together, with her first husband, they built and learned everything they needed to know about the RV business to make it a success. Trailer International caters to the international music industry and major race car drivers in Europe.
Her strong German work ethic and discipline have sustained her. Her favorite quote, “A strong woman builds her own world,” from the book How to Trust God When All Other Resources Have Failed by Ellen J. Barrier, sums up her business philosophy.
Tolbert attributes her success to several factors; trusting herself and her decisions, never giving up, and making it a practice to respect what she wanted to attract to her life.
In business, one has to be a consummate student. Therefore, Tolbert encourages women to “always visualize your goals, write them down and surround yourself with experts in the field. It is important to learn and build from their wisdom, knowledge and never stop asking questions,” she says.
As for advice on how women can increase their net worth, Tolbert offers, “It starts with our girls, we need to teach them financial independence is the new sexy!”
Tolbert offers these words of wisdom, “Be in the places you want to be as opposed to stuck in the places you have to be!”
