Start Your Business NOW .... stop waiting

I’ve found that we limit ourselves in a lot of ways because we seek outside approval. I think this is caused by being attached to the outcome of what we do. It’s not enough for us to start a business and do something we love if other people don’t validate our worth, then we tell ourselves that we’re not good enough.

Here are four ways entrepreneurs hold themselves back, and strategies to get around them:

1) Second-guessing expertise

People assume that in order to be an expert at something, you have to have credentials and years of experience. That is a false assumption. Expertise simply means that you know more than another person, and have something of value to offer in that area.

How to get out of this mindset realize that what you know, right now, is enough. If you’re passionate about your niche and invest time in educating yourself, you’ve already attained a level sufficient to market yourself. That doesn’t mean you stop learning and growing  that just means that you stop putting off starting your business until you learn more. Because you’re setting yourself up for failure that way. You’ll never know enough, you’ll keep changing your minimum requirement to start, and opening day will never arrive for you.

Start exactly where you are. No more delay.

2) Shy away from sales
If you’re providing something of value, you deserve to be compensated. It’s not free for you to make your products and the time you give when you provide your serve is valuable also. Plus people put more value into what they pay to receive how many free eBooks have you downloaded but never read?

How to get out of this mindset: if you don’t get paid for what you do, then it’s either a hobby or volunteer work. This is another area where you have to work to detach from outcomes and not see someone’s opinion as your worth. Some people will not pay, regardless of how low the price is. You just have to go where there are paying customers who want what you’re providing.

You should also spend time learning how to make sales and how marketing is to any business. That will alleviate some of your anxiety and inexperience with generating sales for your business. Make this a part of your pre-launch research, or if you’ve already started your business, make sure you regularly study sales and marketing techniques.

3) Support the wrong people

It’s a beautiful thing to support a minority-owned business, especially if you’re a part of that minority group. You feel great for supporting businesses with missions that align with your own. But I’ve seen business owners that don’t appreciate my time and take my business for granted.

  The mindset of supporting minorities is awesome, if it’s what you believe in. But you shouldn’t drag your business down in the process. Only support those who’ve shown that they’ll maximize the value of your time and money, regardless of skin color or nationality.
4) Waiting for the perfect time

When exactly is the perfect time to start a business? Is it after you’ve found all the investors you need? The perfect commercial space? After you’ve become more of an expert than you already are? How about after things die down at work, or your kids are done with school?

There is no perfect time. The time is now. That’s the only time you have, and the only time that exists. You can’t act in the future, you can’t act in the past. You can only act right now.

While you wait for things to get less hectic, or less whatever it is you’re waiting for, things could go in the opposite direction.

How to get out of this mindset: realize that there’s no perfect time. Perfection doesn’t exist. While you delay, others are making money doing what you could be doing.

You can’t know everything you need to know or do everything you need to do before you start, because there’s always something else. The beauty of running your own business is that you run it, so you control the pace. Once you’re up and running you can add the skills, resources, people and other things you need to your business, but it’s best to actually be up to attract those things to you.

You are the only thing standing in your way. I hope you see that with a few tweaks of your mindset, you can launch yourself on the path to your goals. So what are you waiting for?
 its not easy and i can honestly say that ... trying to do this as a single mother with two kids with determination and motivation its so worth it.

I will not Conform to your Terms of Beauty

I will not allow you to tell me what beautiful is.

I will not allow you to aspire to something I know I could never be.

I will not allow you to give me advice that you won’t take yourself.

I will not allow your negativity to ruin my day or life.

I will continue to do my hair how i feel and do whats better for me and my life.

I will continue to stand in front of my mirrors naked and love my body. Every lump, every roll, every curve, and every mole. I will not allow you to advise me to eat less and exercise more in order to fit in with the acceptable standard of what the female body should look like.

I will not allow you to tell me to stop crying. I will cry when I’m sad, laugh when I’m happy and shout when I’m angry. I will not allow you to tell me that I cannot express my emotions, even if I don’t understand those emotions myself.

I will continue to be awesome in everything that I do because that is something I have set out for myself. I will continue to grow in my journey, with or without your approval.

This is my oath, what’s yours?

15 THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ( WORDS OF ADVICE)

Here’s some words of advice for young ladies ages 15-25 (also may apply to those a bit older)

1. Booty shorts are NOT cute. Walking around with shorts that cut up your butt and crotch is not the ‘bizness’. Men will certainly flock to you, but they won’t respect you. Please, burn every pair of booty shorts you own…TODAY!

2. Rhianna and Beyonce’ are NOT role models they are entertainers. Which means they get paid to sell the idea of sex…YOU DON’T! Understand that in many cases the way an entertainer behaves on stage is completely opposite of how they live in real life. So before you decide to follow in their footsteps, understand that Bee’s behavior onstage is NOT what got Jigga to “Put a Ring On It”.

3. Here’s a secret, respectable men LOVE respectable women. So if you want to be respected: dress, behave and carry yourself respectably. That means: No booty shorts, bustiers, low rise jeans, ta-ta’s hanging out, glass heel hooker shoes, tight clothes or pretty much anything that you have seen on a BET or MTV music video.

4. Acting like a boy will not attract a man. Embrace your femininity, it has untapped power. Get out of the sneakers and gym clothes, especially when you are not IN the gym.

5. Bumping and grinding is NOT dancing. Its giving him free access to your sacred vessel (your body). Access that the man has not earned nor has the right to. If you want to see REAL dancing check out a Michael Jackson video.

6. You’re NEVER too old to be a virgin. No matter what your boyfriend or friends say. Virginity is sacred and pure, it should be guarded as a sacred jewel.

7. Money is NOT the most important thing a man can give you. It is his heart, his honesty, his dedication, his protection and his care. All that will far out last money.

8. Respecting adults is the first sign that you respect yourself. That means how you treat your parents, teachers and other adults are all a reflection of how you view yourself.

9. YOU are beautiful! Don’t allow the standards of the outside world dictate how you feel about yourself inside. God doesn’t make mistakes and you are perfect in his eyes. Once you believe that, you will be the most beautiful woman in the land.

10. Abuse is never acceptable. That means physical, emotional, verbal, and neglect….any action that makes you feel less valuable than you are. Love DOESN’T hurt.

11. No one OWES you anything. It is important to work hard in life and appreciate the things that come easily to you. You are not entitled to anything other than your birth.

12. Other women are NOT the enemy. Embrace your sisters! Backstabbing, disloyal conduct will leave you cold and alone.

13. Everyone is NOT your friend. Friends are not just takers, they are givers, supporters and nurturers. Evaluate your friendships often, and act accordingly.

14. Your name is LOVE, not biatch, hoe or trick. You should be called something lovely or else simply stick with the name on your birth certificate.

15. Giving yourself names like thickness, bootylicious, and dyme piece is the best way to give a man permission to de-value you. If all you think you have to offer a man is your body in some cute package or name, then that is ALL he will ever take from you.

The end!
