Happy Monday, lovelies! ✨

Being there for everyone but yourself is not the move. No matter what anyone tells you, remember to show up for yourself FIRST because you cannot pour from an empty cup.

I hope this week and new month brings you more flexibility, more love, and more self-care.

What are you hoping for in this new month?

Someone recently asked me how Proxie is focused on helping the community? A loaded but easy question - for sure ⭐️.

My response was simple.

In the last two years, Proxie had helped bridge the gap between business resources and Black women entrepreneurs. According to Forbes, Black women are the largest demographic to start small businesses yet, they are the least funded.

Proxie is the only business resource community that targets black women who are in the ideation phase or pre-revenue phase of business to help them grow strategically and effectively to gain more revenue and funding in the future.

It was not easy starting Proxie. I started this business in a space that’s highly saturated with other business communities and organizations in the national entrepreneurship ecosystem. However, I felt like my experience and story deserves a place at this table, so I decided to create something unique and authentic to entrepreneurs like me.

I hope that at some point, you’ve enjoyed being apart of our community and that you keep engaging with us - letting us know what YOU need to succeed. Cause we can all win 👏🏽👏🏽.

Before you clock out this weekend 🙌🏽 let me ask you a question - as an employer, how are you managing your team if you are still working remotely OR if you are an employee, how are you being managed?

Remote work is here to stay.

It’s no longer a health protocol, a fad, or a temporary adjustment. So it’s time to learn how to work from home and manage a remote team — for good.

Good morning my beautiful Proxie fam!

I've been quiet on here, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been working. Remember real entrepreneurs move in silence 😏. I'm so excited to be telling you what I've been up to SOON!

But until then, remember that sometimes you have to stop being scared and JUST GO FOR IT. Either it will or won't work out, but you'll never know until you actually do it.

What's one thing that you're scared of but you're going to do anyway??? Let me know in the comments 👇🏽.

As a small business owner, you may find it difficult to fund your operations at times. When you run into situations like this, you are likely to inquire about a small business loan or another loan program offering.

But depending on your situation, a business grant may seem more attractive than traditional funding options since they are essentially free money. Grants are a great way to help establish and grow your business without mortgaging your future.

Grants can come in many forms: small business grants, federal grants, state grants, county grants, local grants and grants from private businesses - and can be supplemental to any other traditional method of funding a business, such as a loan, microloan, or line of credit.

Swipe 👉🏽 to learn more about grants, how they can help you run your biz, and more!

Don’t forget - we send grant opportunities DIRECTLY to your 📱 if you join our Proxiegram alerts!! Don’t miss out on an opportunity, just cause you aren’t connected 🙃

Having a solid and well-defined brand is essential to compete in the business world, whether you're running a Fortune 500 organization or you're a freelance web designer.

Your brand communicates your values and helps you attain an authoritative presence in your industry. Even small business owners with tight budgets should be relying on branding to build healthy relationships with their audience and establish themselves as leaders in their field.

As Forbes defines it: “Put simply, your ‘brand’ is what your prospect thinks of when he or she hears your brand name. It’s everything the public thinks it knows about your name brand offering—both factual (e.g. It comes in a robin’s-egg-blue box), and emotional (e.g. It’s romantic).”

Let's dive into some brand business tips!
✨ Develop Your Mission Statement
✨ Differentiate Yourself From Competitors
✨ Give Your Target Audience Something of Value
✨ Build a Professional Website, Social Media Presence, and More
✨ Keep Your Image Consistent - Colors, Fonts, Photos, and Content Should Be CONSISTENT and ON BRAND,

Building a small business brand is about more than just creating an eye-catching logo — although that's part of it. It's about building relationships with your audience before they ever make a purchase. It's about establishing your reputation as a trusted industry leader. It's about creating opportunities to share valuable information that improves your followers’ lives and communicates your core ideology that drives your business activity.

Is your business fully on brand? If not, what do you need help with? 👀
