Redo

So thank the good Lord above because I come so far from where I was. My journey is just beginning and I have a very long way to go. First of all, looking at my old posts, I was so hard on myself a few years back. I was in a dark place, had little to no hope or faith. But thank God 4 what Hope and Faith remained because being the faithful God he is, i asked him to lighten my path and he has.

On March 15th 2016 I took a step in faith and started my very first business venture. Well it may have been my second venture. A few years back in 2009 I decided to join a company and sell kitchen cutlery for Cutco inc. It was very interesting, i made my own schedule. I kept at it for about a month until something better came along. But I got one foot in the door of marketing. Anyways back to what I was talking about before, I started a business venture about a year ago with FES. At the time I have been working at Diamond destinations selling vacation packages since November 2015. Once they didn't pay me the day before Christmas, I never came back to work until January 2016. I would sell vacation packages, but not enough to pay rent or do anything extra than pay for a little bit of food here and there and diapers for my baby. I barely had enough to pay the babysitter or to even get to work. But I did my research about the company for about a month and then took some of my tax refund money and invested $287 into myself into the credit repair business. I feel in my heart that was honestly the best decision I have made in the past 11 years. No job application or job offers compare to the excitement of what I did that day in March 2015.

My first month of being entrepreneur  comma posted on Craigslist my little add even paying for some. The fish were biting but I caught none of them. I even went as far as buying ads on Instagram I'm a page with a high follower count. Once again the fish were biting but I were able to catch any. I thought that I'll go ahead and pay the first month and then eventually I'll get people to sign up and then the service will eventually pay for it so I'll start making Bank and life will be good. A few months later, I even started passing out my business cards locally, got Flyers printed out, booklets made and passed them to car dealerships but once again nothing happened. Some wondered why did I hold on to this and not just let it go. I just can't explain it I feel like this is calling.

I never paid for the service after the first month, but the fire still burned in me to nurture my business that I started. I would talk about it here and there to people who inquired to know more about what I do, and it felt good just to speak of myself as an entrepreneur. That I didn't work for anyone. But best of all, the service that I had to offer would help people get in a better place in their life.

I write this all to say, today is February 24th 2017 and I'm going to hit the redo button and try this again. I'm very excited. I've sharpened my strategy. But I'm going to get even better by going to the secrets of success conference and really get on top of my game. And you better believe I'm ready to get it. I can't wait to tell you all about it. Because in the words of Meek Mill, if I don't grind, I don't shine. And if I don't shine, then I don't eat. And if I don't eat, then I'm gonna to starve. And if I'm gonna to starve then I will pull Heat on all y'all b**** ass negroes and all y'all rich as negroes. As if I don't make no money, I'm going to take your money.  I'm just waiting on my moment.
