Far Rock STAND UP

  I took part in a workshop last night about Building a Winning Team. It was informative and concise. I truly enjoyed the instructors take on delegating tasks to trained professionals in lieu of trying to do everything yourself. Which as a business owner can be difficult because you’re doing EVERYTHING. YOURSELF. 


One of the core principles was to paraphrase “if you stay ready you don’t have to get ready” Having a team comprised of professionals (even in consultant roles) is imperative to having your business succeed.  I’m great at delegating tasks to others because my life is comprised of an infinite amount of time and I can’t do EVERYTHING. 


At the end of this project the participants should have acquired 


At the end of this project the participants should have acquired the skills and training to successfully present a business pitch. Which is a business plan showing customer needs, industry analysis, risks, financial projection, a business model, overview of the competition. 


Our instructor who is a  very successful woman of color started her business with a 1400 dollar grant that she was so appreciative of. Regardless if I secure the top prize of literally having my entire plan funded (which I’m AIMING for) in the last 3 weeks I have learned so much! I also have confidence in myself and my ability to SUCCEED. 


My neighborhood has gone from the proverbial pariah to paradise. The long term growth that myself and others see is so ironic. Like my community is one of the BEST places in NY to OPEN a BUSINESS right NOW. The fact that I’m doing it and PREPARED because of all the years I have LIVED here and my ties to my community isn’t lost on my instructors or myself. 


I’m DEAF so I appreciate the closed captioning but when I TALK and people are absorbing what I’m SAYING and not trying to downplay my ambitions or my initiatives I pick up on THAT. 


I always said all I needed was Capital and Childcare. It’s THREE C’s tho-CONFIDENCE is KEY. I believe in myself and not just about bringing an Event Venue here. But the sheer determination I have in showing my sons that anything is possible if you PREPARE. 


I wrote this because I just wanted someone who may be on their own trajectory to see this and know that as long as you believe in yourself, your path, your JOURNEY that the world will ADJUST.

Cocoon

I spent a lot of time alone. For the first time in my life I truly reflected on where I am, where I wanna go and where I have been. I cannot go back and undo anything. There are no do-overs. Just moments that will matter.   I was raised on sitcoms and soap operas. I wrote plays and skits as a child. In my teenage years I rebelled but I was given absolution from my Family and God when both my sons were born a generation apart. The two human beings that I never once thought about not bringing into this world.  I’m living every day on purpose and in my own element. I’m thriving because I’m changing everything I ever was into everything I can be. I had to give myself permission to do this . It changed my life.  I tried to see the good in everyone. It’s not my journey. I can’t care about everyone. Mommy told me that after Chevelle died. She told me my heart was so big. But it can’t carry everyone . It will burst. She said she knows I thought she was a bit cold but it...

I’m Speaking

 My Children’s GROWTH, conquering my FEAR of FLYING, keeping JJ in a wonderful LEARNING environment, traveling the WORLD and HEALING from being ABANDONED by Damn near everyone I HELPED time and time AGAIN! It was too MUCH ALL the TIME yet it taught me that if I put all that effort into me and mines I could create MAGIC.  Don’t nobody LOVE harder than ME. My FAMILY, FRIENDS etc. I’m not EVER going to apologize for THAT. But I KNOW in order to GROW you have to LET go. My life changed when I rewrote my STORY.  I watched my entire hometown be completely rebuilt throughout the sorrow of The Pandemic. Out of the ashes of despair, uncertainty, class, religion and race division, and YES generational disenfranchisement has emerged a budding metropolis for future generations of New Yorkers.   Above ALL losing my Mother on that bright September day six and a half years ago while pregnant with JJ set me on this trajectory. David’s support and foundation yes helped strengthe...
