Jump out there and go for it!!!!!

I was so excited when my sista from another mista told me that she was starting her own business.  She is one hell of a woman with experience, boldness, a supportive family and friends, and the drive to make it happen.  I was so proud of her when she text me the news yesterday.  I have seen her work up close and personal and she is absolutely phenomenal at what she does.  I 'm not just saying this because of my love for her but because she is a great master of her craft. 

If I can count how many women are around me who have massive talent but hide behind the fear of failure or success, I would own a small island.  Each day, I encourage women in my circle who have not yet got past the fear bump to just take a few steps back, run and jump right into what it is that they want to do.  It absolutely drives me crazy to see talented, beautiful women spend countless hours behind a desk or in a job wishing they were doing what it was that they really want to do.  Listen, I understand fear.  Been there.  I understand finances.  Been there to.  But I also understand what it is to wake up everyday, going through the daily routine of work and home, daydreaming that my life was different. It wasn't until I began to surround myself around women and men who were farther along than me, that started thinking to myself, "there is no difference between me and them except their willingness to sacrifice and work like crazy to live the life they desire." 

Many of the women in my circle are extremely successful.  Their success is not measured by what they bring home but the joy they have in their life.  They are successful because they are doing exactly what they want to do.  That is living!!!!!!  I encourage all of us to live.  No day should go by where we don't feel fulfilled in something.  That is not life.  It is merely existing.  Step out on faith, believe in your talent, put the work in, develop your support network (you will need one) and go for it!!!!!  I'm cheering for you.  When one woman does it, it means we all can do it.  So, on a count of three, we will say it together: I CAN DO THIS.  I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY. I AM GREAT AT WHAT I DO. I AM AMAZING AND EVERYTHING THAT I DO WILL BE GREAT!!!!!!  Now all you have to do is believe it and execute.  Go!

 To my sista from another mista, here is a raised glass to you.  Thank you for your boldness and your incredible spirit.  I will be watching so I can learn to soar just like you.
