Last week I celebrated 5 Years of Full Time Entrepreneurship. At this point this is not a drill. This is one of the photos I took to capture this moment in time. Shoutout to Rashod Harris - The Kingmaker👑 !
On October 1, 2021 I started my journey of officially working for myself. Every year around this time I reflect on this journey.
If I had to have a chit chat with Christina from 2021 or anyone who is making the plunge of faith into Full Time Entrepreneurship here are a few things I would say:
💎The lows will be low but the highs will be even higher.
💎Not every client is intended for you. Find your target clientele and stay there.
💎 Hire people who are smarter than you in certain areas and take the time to develop them.
💎 There is no reward for the most overworked entrepreneur. This leads to stress and you can’t run a business if you are always stressed. Rest.
💎 Sometimes people will screw you over in business and this is why written agreements matter. It makes you stronger and makes you wiser. Keep pushing.
💎 Payroll will be one of the most stressful yet rewarding parts of the process. Every month where payroll is made is a blessing.
💎 Be as lean as you possibly can. Running a business is expensive.
💎 You are smart. You are capable. And you will fall down a few times but remember you will get back up.
Cheers to 10 years in business and 5 years of minding only the business that pays me. No matter how challenging being a full time entrepreneur gets I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Much love to anyone who has supported my dream and continues to support it.
Business Blessings + Love
