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.

School Days

Last Friday I was getting my nails and feet done with JJ. I try not to bring him with me but as a single mother I do what I have to do. My day one came in the shop and was talking with us. Like she has known me since David was a little boy going to 197. She was getting a pedicure on her break. She kept JJ entertained while I got my nails done even though she could of been bounced...she went to the store for him and got him a snack and a juice. It’s been on my mind because she gave me a recommendation on a school in our neighborhood for Jermaine. I didn’t even know about it and neither did the Specialist or his teachers....He currently has in-house services 5 days a week and is thriving. He needs to be in an environment with his peers so he can have a great quality of life. I was apprehensive to send him far away in other parts of Queens and Brooklyn that was recommended and although I LOVE my TEAM home based services take a lot of coordination and patience...this will add more balance...

You’ve Got Mail

When we were driving home last night I was thinking about Mommy as we passed her old job the post office. When she was off and we drove by anyone that was working their shift she would say “Hey Audrey, Hey Brina, Hey Jeanie....”my friends (Michael, Daniele, Kim, Vicky you know my REAL friends) KNOW when we went on trips I would say “my Mother works here” I worked there when David was little and I hated it! I would be so LATE so they could fire me-they even had a meeting that I walked into LATE about my ASS. The supervisors were looking at the bitches that was complaining like” that’s Gwen’s Daughter GTFOH with that BS! i used to go inside and sit in the cage with Aunt Jeanie for hours. They let me work like 14 hours a day. I bust my ass for the first 8 and then would go walk around with Mommy or somebody lol. Sit in the cafeteria with Aunt Stephanie... My Mother worked nights so her holiday started early...my Mother worked overtime for 2 months straight EVERY year m, EVERY day so t...
