Why do people compete in the world of entrepreneurship and business? I am still trying to figure out this answer myself. I believe when people compete for the same promotion, the same customers, and the same opportunities, you are doing a disservice to yourself and the people you are called to serve. There is more than enough blessing for all of us to receive. When God gave one person a blessing he did not stop there, he has a special blessing for you too. Competition is operating from a place of lack.  The reality is you cannot grow or get to the next level in your own business if you are busy worrying about what others are doing. Instead of trying to be better or bigger than the next person, find out how you can give and receive support from others. Collaboration is the key to growth and success. I have grown in my business tremendously by joining forces and working with other entrepreneurs. Working with others not only gives me a different point of view in my business but also g...

  This year has a year of surprises starting with COVID-19, increased racial tension, and a presidential election that took us for a loop. However, 2020 has also been a year of discovery, holding on to things that are most important and being grateful for everything we have. If there were goals, you set at the beginning of 2020 but did not reach them then I am sure your brain is working hard to see what needs to be done next. I have also had goals this year that did not meet my desired outcome. I have also had some great accomplishments this year that I am extremely grateful for like writing my book and releasing my new podcast. I valued the lessons that I have learned this year both good and bad, and I go into 2021 knowing that I must step my game up to reach even bigger goals. Before you start working on your 2021 goals, I want to share with you three critical elements you must have to reach your goals. I have used these key elements myself and it has taken my life and my busine...

Boss ladies if you have not noticed we are in the middle of a global pandemic. I know it can be scary seeing the number of people dying from this deadly disease. However, there are many more people surviving and avoiding the virus. You can decrease your risk as well from contracting the deadly coronavirus. As a registered nurse for the last fifteen years, I want to share with you five simple ways you can lower your chance of catching the “Rona”.  Eat Clean Clean eating is all about being mindful of the origin of your food and ensuring that it is as close to its natural state as possible. It is about consuming tons of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, fish, seafood, and clean meats. When we fuel our body with whole, unprocessed foods we provide it with the nutrients it needs to function at its best. In turn, we look and feel better. We sleep better, our skin is better, and we have more energy. Start your clean eating with the foods you like and then introduce new food as you g...

Most people who have decided to open their own business didn’t make this decision overnight. I’m sure there was some thought about the process long before they made the leap. Entrepreneurship is something that takes place in your heart long before it is a reality. I could remember as a young girl always having a dream to speak and travel the world. I remember writing my first book in grammar school that later allowed me to compete in the Young Author’s Program, representing my entire school on the regional level. The book was later turned into a play for my school’s Black History Program. I had an entrepreneurial spirit at a very young age, it was like it was apart of my D.N.A. You too may have had visions and dreams as a child not realizing there was a drive within you that caused you to go for more. I think about my son Donnie who has had an entrepreneurial spirit in him from a young age. He would sell candy at school to make money because he was a diabetic and couldn’t have candy....
