In this episode, I get 100% REAL about how I transitioned from being a 9-5 employee working in corporate sales in the software industry to being a full-time entrepreneur. It was definitely a journey to say the least! But I wanted to open up about this because oftentimes, you see entrepreneurs online and you have no idea how they got where they are now.

In this episode, I reflect the 10 mindset shifts I had to make to go from an employee who hated her jobs, experienced layoffs, was fired before, was demoted before AND I used to have a car that smoked because I couldn’t afford a car payment, while working at this cheap, racist paper company — to successfully becoming a full-time business owner, living comfortably off of money I’m making all on my own doing work I enjoy, on MY terms!
These mindset shifts are important because the way you think is the #1 factor in your success as an entrepreneur. Many people think it’s all about implementing the right strategies. But if your mind is in the wrong place, you won’t ever implement the strategies to begin with. It’s really 90% mindset and 10% strategy.

Last month, I passed the $100,000 in revenue mark, since making the decision to leave my 9-5 in late 2018. I don’t share the number to brag or anything like that. But I wanted to open up about how I did it with the hope that it inspires more black women and men to take their entrepreneurial aspirations seriously…because when you take YOURSELF seriously, your results will show for it.
In the episode, I explain that I know I could’ve hit this milestone a lot sooner, but I let my mindset hold me back from going as hard on my business as I should have and I just didn’t take myself seriously an entrepreneur. So because of that, I didn’t make $100,000 from my business until six years after I first got my business idea.
It certainly doesn’t have to take that long for you if you decide to take yourself seriously right now and you put in the WORK to execute the right strategies to lead to a profitable business. So in this episode, I’m sharing the top strategies that helped me reach $100K fairly quickly, in a little under a year and a half of consistently putting in the work, so you can use these strategies in your business, too!
