Why did you start your business?
I come from a family of entrepreneurs. Growing up I witnessed firsthand some of the challenges they faced, especially the women entrepreneurs in my family. It made me want to support others in their endeavors to build a business.
What do you love most about being an entrepreneur?
I love being the boss! I love independence and some of the challenges that come along with working for yourself. The best part about this journey is that I am able to nurture and grow my business on my own terms. I wholeheartedly believe that entrepreneurship runs in my blood. I am ecstatic about being in this place, at this time of my life.
What has been the most challenging aspect of being an entrepreneur?
It is challenging to be patient with myself. Things don’t always happen the way I want when I want. Being a futuristic thinker I tend to focus on the end goal, and sometimes I forget there are several steps involved in achieving that goal, so learning to be patient with the process is a continuous learning experience for me.
Share some of your successes and highlights since starting your business.
As a virtual assistant, I have had the opportunity to work with a team that spanned six countries. It was exciting and challenging to work across that many time zones! Several pieces of my writing work have been referenced in case studies. Most recently, I had the opportunity to sponsor a virtual conference for women entrepreneurs, which featured the fabulous Ms. Shontaye as the keynote speaker. I am also working with some of the most talented women of color in this entrepreneurial and small business space, which is gratifying and uplifting.
What would you tell another woman that is considering starting a business?
If you are thinking about diving into the world of entrepreneurship it is because you are visionary. You want to spark a change, accomplish a goal, or build something great. Each day, remember the reason for your vision, even when it’s a bad day, week or month. Celebrate your triumphs, shake off your disappointments and continue in your journey. Let your light shine for others to see!
