I was once in your shoes…
Yes, I was once the frustrated entrepreneur who wondered if or when would my business take off. I found myself taking class after class, going to conference after conference trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Why couldn’t I attract the audience I wanted? Well, after my conference hopping fizzled out, I realized nothing was wrong with me. Instead, it was my approach that was all wrong. Once I gained clarity and created a plan, my business took off. I was finally able to live the lifestyle that I really wanted. Now, it is my mission to help others to step into their purpose and live out their dream life.
After my moment of clarity, I began to notice that other entrepreneurs struggled with the same obstacles I had overcome. They lacked the focus, mindset, and RIGHT tools needed to transform their passion into profit. I thought, “There are so many black business directories but not enough resources to equip these businesses with the tools they need to succeed.” Then, I thought you have the skill set and expertise to help them build the brand of their dreams. If I share the good, the bad, and the ugly perhaps I could help them avoid some of the mistakes I made early on. And just like that, Black Business Connect was born.
When I first began BBC, I knew it could be a beacon of inspiration. I wanted to create a platform for individuals to grow and overcome the challenges that hindered their business. But never did I imagine that it would reach individuals as far as Australia. Yes, I said Australia! We all have a story tell, and it is our purpose at BBC to connect those experiences and help one another. Entrepreneurship is not always an easy road but what keeps me going is seeing how BBC inspires others. We strive every day to deliver the best value and content in everything we do. Don’t get me wrong there are still days when I want to throw in the towel, but who doesn’t at times? This is why building community is so essential. Together, we can grow and encourage one another to keep moving forward.
Let's continue to Connect, Create, and Collaborate!
