I started out not knowing what to think.

I wasn’t clear about my offer.🤔

I wasn’t confident in my abilities.😥

I was worried about looking silly and embarrassing myself.🤦🏾‍♀️

BUT, I did it anyway.

And once I took that 1st step to start my biz, shared it openly, and made the first investment in myself, I never looked back.

The more I saw first hand was possible, the more evident it became that I had spent far too long undervaluing my expertise.

💡That realization changed EVERYTHING for me.

Tell me… What have you been avoiding or debating in your head?

Don’t let the fear of the unknown block your blessing.🚫

Take the 1st step. You’ll figure it out along the way.

I’m rooting for you!

YOU HAVE A GREAT JOB. YOU’RE MAKING GOOD MONEY.

YOU HAVE A GREAT JOB. YOU’RE MAKING GOOD MONEY. AND…

… It’s still OK to want more.💯

Wanting more flexibility, freedom, and money for you and your family isn’t being ungrateful, greedy, or entitled.

And wanting to build a thriving business on your terms isn’t wishful thinking or an unreasonable desire.

As women, we often feel uncomfortable in our pursuit of more but no one ever questions male ambition.

Pouring into your biz isn’t sacrificing your career.

That’s BS corporate mindset forcing you to choose and wanting you to be more loyal to your job than the life you desire to live.

That’s what makes it feel too risky.

Your brain keeps telling you to just be grateful and enjoy the comfort of where you are now.

But what if I told you that all of the success you‘ve achieved is simply evidence of what’s possible in the future?

Wanting more for your life is your birthright.

You have lives to impact.

Let that motivate you today!✨

If you’ve read any book on starting or building

If you’ve read any book on starting or building a consulting business, you’ve likely noticed that they all read the same…

🔸Start with who you know.

🔸Ask for referrals.

🔸Write winning proposals.

🔸Speak on a big stage.

🔸Self-publish a book or start a blog.

🔸And occasionally do some cold calling to find someone new.

It’s not that this is bad advice.

But, if you’re a woman, especially a woman of color, in consulting and you’ve tried all of these things, and they haven’t worked the way you’d imagined, that’s not a surprise. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Here’s what they forgot to tell you👇🏾

The book wasn’t written with you in mind.🤯

But that’s ok because there’s a consulting code, and unwritten chapter, that you can learn to utilize to your advantage.

And I wrote an essay for you [SWIPE] that will fill you all in.

YOU’RE BATTLING MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE… From

YOU’RE BATTLING MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE…

From the moment you walk in the door at work with “neatly groomed” hair, your black, blue, or gray suit from Ann Taylor (or some similar “conservative” store who sales your 9 to 5 uniform attire), and the perfect articulation of every word to match, you’ve been taught that it’s risky to color outside of the lines.

You’ve spent your whole life trying to conform… to remain an indistinguishable part of the greater whole. So, it’s no surprise that you’re now struggling to stand out.

In actuality, you’ve hidden YOU for so long that the most natural representation of who you are feels foreign.💯

And this is true no matter how much you hate code switching or being forced to dim your light so others could shine.

But now, instead of this conformity helping you climb the corporate ladder it’s holding you back.

Your next level in business will require you to reframe this thinking, unpeel the layers and reprogram your mind around what professionalism really means.

It will be a constant journey and what will feel like a never ending challenge.

But, with time the boldness will show.

Your inherent, God-given unique value will be undeniable.

And THEN the dominoes will begin to fall.

The end result -> A MASTERPIECE 🎨

P.S. I’m holding space for you if you’re desiring to do this important work to play bigger and bolder to reach your next level. Becoming an ELITE Consultant requires challenging social norms to compete for larger and more lucrative contracts. DM me “Next Level” and let’s chat about what that could look like for your biz.
