If you’re anything like me, a lack of time and money has discouraged you from pursuing your business venture. You’ve made excuse after excuse on how you just can’t move right now because you are not financially stable and you are unable to allocate the time to go after the passion that lies within your heart. But, I have great news, it is possible to develop a strong brand even with limited time and financial resources and here’s how. Develop Your Business Model: Before you b

If I were to ask you, “Who Are You,” would you be able to answer? I’m sure that sounds easy but are you honest enough with yourself to where, this question can wholeheartedly be answered with the good, the bad, the ugly, and the indifferent; revealing all of your ugly truths, not just the things you desire for people to know. Let’s be honest, you probably aren’t even fully sure of who you are. We all have things that we mask, things that we do not allow to be placed in the fo

No matter you’re reasoning or rationale for deciding to become an entrepreneur or a business owner, a natural born desire for your business should be for growth and development. Once you’ve stabilized yourself and the startup excitement has passed, your next step will be growth, development, and sustainment. Sustainment is added because your growth and development means nothing if you are unable to keep up with the demand of your product or service. In this day and age, consu

This morning, while preparing for work, I glanced at my vision board and immediately the words “27 Keys to Success” stood out. It was an ironic revelation considering the vision board has been posted in the exact same spot for over 7 months but those words never caught my attention in the way they did this morning. Initially, when placing those words on my vision board, I had no idea what the 27 Keys to Success would entail. I knew it seemed cute because I am 27 years old and

When searching for the definition of passion, two different versions came up first on the page of my Google search. Both forms of the definition were provided and defined as a noun but their meanings were polar opposite. Definition one defined passion as a strong and barely controllable emotion. Whereas definition two defined the word as the suffering and death of Jesus. In terms of genuinely finding your passion, both definitions are extremely important and here’s why. As Ch

Whether it be a romantic or platonic relationship, a job position, or serving as a leader in any aspect, you should always strive to bring value to the situation. Something about the person, place, or thing should change because you are around or have been around. If you are unable to look back and recall a time where you added value, it’s time to change a few things about life because the person who lacks value in the situation is you. Although that may sound harsh, it’s a v

The old statement, common sense isn’t so common, is unfortunately true even in the business world. While every entrepreneur may have begun their business with a great idea, the knowledge and know-how of running a business may be completely foreign to some. The professionalism, marketing strategies, and overall day to day operational handlings of a business can be unknown factors and skills to the creative mind. Often times, the visionary may simply have the idea or the vision

The stress of job hunting to begin, or maybe even further your career, is already a tedious process and adding the creation of the perfect resume to the list merely adds anxiety to an already anxious situation. However, creating the perfect resume does not have to be difficult or stressful. There are ways to keep the stress to a minimum but like anything else related to minimizing stress, you will need help and a little guidance. Your resume is overall what tells your story a

Potential is defined as having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something. If you were to simply live life according to the idea or possibility of what you could become, based on that definition alone, would you ever fulfill your God given purpose or assignment? I will give you a moment to consider the question but don’t ponder there too long because the answer is simply, NO. Often times, meaningful statements are made according to the premature feeling of fa
