Happy August
I started a business while I was still working a full-time job and this was well before COVID and the work-from-home option was on the table. The internet landline phones, fax machines, paper files, mailed invoices, just to name a few.
Websites were not yet standard, email was still growing and if you did not have a physical office or storefront, your business was not considered legitimate.
Change is good and sometimes it can be great. I am glad I was able to evolve and grow during these times, but it did not come without business and personal challenges, financial hardships and days where you had to make tough decisions and you may not be sure if you were going to make it another year.
What is one change you have had to embrace in your business journey?
I started this entrepreneurial journey in 2007, and I am grateful to be still here as an owner, but I take nothing for granted, especially being a black business owner.
