I left corporate...that good job...started my own thing... #becauseIcan and because I was supposed to.

What do you do when you feel like you're making your company all this money, but you're still struggling financially?
You're making them rich, but what about making you rich?
See not achieving that equal level of financial success for yourself and your family, that's real.

Facebook community (Escape Corporate, Snatch Freedom, and Build Legacy), and you should realize it for yourself...when you're committed to seeing a different life, or a different set of opportunities, it requires that you get creative in placing limits to open new possibilities.

S2 Ep. 13 How do you really spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S? [w/Justin Aldridge] Aug 17, 2020

Justin Aldridge is life and online business coach who helps ambitious, heart-centered people create and scale their online, passion-based businesses so they can quit their 9:00 - 5:00 and make the income and impact they desire. Growing up, he had a hard time fitting in. He was the “different” kid and hated that about himself. However, later in life, he realized that being different was actually his greatest gift because it meant that he was standing in my power. But, like my people, I lost touch with that inner truth and started going through the motions of life. Although he was highly successful by everyone else’s standards on the outside, he was battling himself on the inside. He struggled with depression and almost lost his marriage and life. An experience where he was holding his newborn daughter and thinking about having a conversation with her about chasing her dreams completely changed his life. Following that experience, he created The UNCOMMON Life movement. For show notes and bonus resources visit Candacespears.com

Highkey Woke Podcast is a safe space for Nopa and Mone along with their counterparts to discuss all things corporate America, the Culture, and Politics and how these three components relate to and/or influence the Black experience. Naturally being co-workers first, they would vent to each other about their day to day responsibilities and experiences they encountered being Black in the workplace. Those discussions evolved from initially just being about work to also being about their worlds outside of work. They figured that if they were having these discussions between the two of them, why not take their dialogue broader. For show notes and bonus, resources visit Candacespears.com

S2 Ep. 10 Pushing past doubt, dissent and the 9 to 5 [w/ Nancy Solomon] Jul 27, 2020

Every day is not roses on an entrepreneurial journey. And some days are a field of roses, lilacs, and exotic flowers. But what is for certain is that the journey as a whole is beautiful if you can stay connected to your "why." See it's in being connected to your "why" that you get the perspective shift. A "tough day" becomes "a day filled with learning on how to course correct." An "amazing day" is "a day filled with fuel and a proven path on how to grow your impact like wildfire." A fellow champion of women's professional and business success joins me on the show, Nancy D. Solomon. Founder and CEO of The Leadership Incubator, Nancy has over 25 years of experience executive coaching, counseling, and training mid-level managers to CEOs. As an expert in the field of human potential, Nancy has inspired thousands of people to remove their barriers to personal and professional success.

Let's be real, at one point or another you've probably looked at a situation you were facing and felt low. Felt like you had lost a battle before you could even begin to fight. We've all been there at some point. But what if that moment we recall, was our last...ever. And last, because we understood that the experience of the situation is all about perspective: "Was it defeat in that moment or was it an opportunity for gigantic growth?" My guest on the show is a fiery woman that knows about adjusting perspective. Her name...Ana Kevelin Reyes. Ana is an Amazon #1 best-selling author, an influential speaker, New Thought Leader, Self-Mastery Coach and a mother who shares her own life experiences to empower and encourage others to take control of their situations, and breakthrough challenges that at one time seemed insurmountable.

S2 Ep. 4 Race, Entrepreneurship and Fosterhood [w/ Kevin Hofmann] Jun 15, 2020

Entrepreneurship takes many forms, and possess many characteristics, but when you get passion fueled by experience in the color of your skin, and your parental origin, your "why" resonates. My guest on the show Kevin Hofmann, Author of Growing up Black in White, know, feels, and serves others with these same characteristics along his own entrepreneurial journey. By the time he turned 2 years old, Kevin Hofmann had survived an abortion, been given away by his mother, adopted by a family of another race, and woke up to a burning cross in his front yard. Kevin was born in Detroit in August 1967 two weeks after the riots that changed that city forever. It was out of these amazing circumstances his life and purpose began. It is out of these experiences he tells his story; a story of struggle and joy, pain and passion, and most of all hope. Kevin presently works with K-12 and universities in the area of inclusion. From such a unique world view Kevin works with schools to create a place where ALL kids can thrive. For show notes and bonus resources visit Candacespears.com

I would see all the cool aspirational startups like Airbnb, Dropbox, Instagram even and think, their business must have worked because they had a co-founder. Then I think back to entering a pitch competition for an accelerator, and it was pretty clear on the application that they would favor startups that had a pair of founders. I think the repetitive emphasis on co-founders had me associating success with having a partner in crime. But the question is...is a co-founder or partner a valid way to ramp up success?

So you call yourself an entrepreneur, but everyone looks at you like..." yeah...sure." It doesn't matter when just anybody says it, but when the people that you're trying to serve have this opinion of you, you might as well pack up. The likelihood that you will be able to serve anyone with your products and services is low. Why? Because they don't believe you! Credibility is the foundation of any good fruitful relationship. So being seen as someone who is either an expert or is know to find the right answer, is important. But how to build that credibility can sometimes be tricky, especially as we're starting out.

I'm always fascinated and delighted when new startups pop up that, literally solve for dreams I've had. And when I say solve for, they literally bring the dream to life by providing a path to get there. In my current home, we live on half an acre of land and have a fair amount of space in the backyard. Being that our house was built as new construction almost 11 years ago, I gave it the landscaping love and attention all these years, and every year considered, "how could I better use the space, what would be functional?" The number one thought...a getaway space in the backyard! But how to make that happen, how much would it cost, how long would it take...all details I didn't dig too far into. But this Startup, Node, has taken to space overloaded consumers like me and made a business of giving them a path to those backyard ideas.
