No need for anxiety!

I saw this post on another entrepreneur's page and it took me back for a second. This message can be triggering in a positive of negative way. I think regardless of where 'we' are in our business, we always think we can do more. That mindset causes anxiety to plot, plan, and push HARDER!

However, I say take the time to see your revenue and compare it to where you were when you started. Recognize the progress you've created and celebrate your accomplishment. See your growth and replicate that and you'll continue to grow!

[In]vestment means focus on YOU. It's the internal work that produces the external result. If you don’t like what you see, work on you. It’s not selfish, it’s SELFCARE!

FRIDAY FIRST

02/24/2026

Collaboration was the theme of the day as SBEC welcomed the James S. McDonnell Foundation (JSMF) for an immersive learning session on small-business growth. Representatives from St. Louis Small Business Empowerment Center, JSMF, business owners, and corporate partners gathered on February 19 to explore how coordinated capital, customer-acquisition support, and technical assistance impact the success of small- and minority-owned businesses.

JSMF collaborates with SBEC to fund a $1.9 million revolving loan fund to provide working capital to minority entrepreneurs. "For every $25,000 in capital, one new job is created," announced SBEC Executive Director Kevin Wilson

In 2025, 25 minority businesses received funding, and four of those recipients—Under Grace Home Health Agency, Freddie Lee’s Gourmet Sauce, The GEM Factory, and Hudson and Associates, LLC—shared how access to capital has fueled their dreams. Ecosystem partners from Edward Jones US, St. Louis Community Credit Union, and Greater St. Louis, Inc. discussed their roles in connecting businesses with opportunities.

I'm thankful to be a part of the team that impacts small business community in Saint Louis, MO and across the nation.
We Coach, We Train, We Fund!

Know the room you enter is the room you're suppose to be in. No matter the people, titles, or perceived expectation...add value and engage....add YOU. It's your room too.

Step out of your comfort zone and build connections. You can not grow in F.E.A.R. The Network works ONLY if you network.

Are you ready to tell the world your real 'Why'?
Are you ready to be vulnerable enough to be real with your customer, your audience, and most of all...YOURSELF!

We get nervous about telling our true story because if the audience doesn't accept it, we think they don't accept us. Get over the F.E.A.R. and live in your truth. Let the would see what's underneath!

You're not in this [life] alone. You don't have to do it all yourself. Partnership will take you further than you can ever go alone. Build good and mutually beneficial relationships and watch them support you on your journey.

CUT THEM OFF!

One of the greatest lessons I learned in becoming an entrepreneur, leader, and person was to 'Cut the F.A.T.' - Family/Friends, Associates, and Team members that couldn't and wouldn't see your vision or your goals. Don't allow the naysayers to hold your back. The road to success can be an isolating journey until you are ready to add back those who provide value to you. Can you CUT THE F.A.T.?
