Always Bet on Yourself!

Good morning Mom-preneures,

Today started early for me, 5 am to be exact. Up and at them working on a consultation summary for a potential client. One pearl of wisdom I picked up on Wednesday at the business fair is "Always Bet on Yourself'.

Moms, I must say this message was reinforcement to get on my hustle consistently and passionately. Either I can work on someone else's dream or I can work to make my own goals a full time gig. I had to ask myself, what is your decision DBC? Ten years ago, I bet on myself and launched my advocacy/educational firm. After year 5 of operation, I decided to revamp the focus and services of my educational firm. I decided that as an Educational Change Agent, I must strategically engage all stakeholders to align to my firms focus, investing in our children. Here's a link to my firm www.bibbcook.com

Currently, I work with independent schools (charter and parochial/private) supporting their teachers in providing nurturing educational communities by providing professional development, teacher mentoring and school wide behavioral interventions and supports along with special education compliance. Being that teacher support/mentoring is key to investing in a child's scholarly success, BCC has made this area of need our focus as a community partner.

Enjoy your Saturday and Always Bet on Yourself! Being Strong, Resilient and Luminous...

Yours Truly,

DBC

Of course, tax time tends to overwhelm the best of us but fiscal responsibility for business owners and individuals should not be frightful as long as you are preparing yourself accordingly.

In 2020, Pearls are Financially Strong, Resilient and Luminous. We, women small business owners need to ensure that we are rendering our businesses/side hustles healthy in all fiscal avenues.

Mr. Robert L. Waller, CPA/CFE , was eager to provide direction for Women Small Business Owners on a few questions regarding responsibiliti

Pearls, Pods, Purpose

Dear Pearls, Thank you for patiently awaiting the next blog post of Nacr3! Covid-19 has been a major interruption in the flow of everyone's lives from our children to our elderly. Everyone has been impacted in a major way in all areas of their livelihoods: socio-economic, mental health, emotional health, family and friend relationships, and physical health. No one can doubt that it's highly unlikely that things will return to be 100 percent the same as our Pre-COVID lives, but Pearls this world-wide pandemic (both Covid-19 and BLM) has taken a toll on us all and we should look to recollect and emerge as the Pearl you are! Just think of COVID/BLM as the irritant our little oyster needed to create the best that is within us. During the brief hiatus, every other day, week, and month I continued to contemplate the scope and sequence of the blog yearly outline. The first 2 weeks of March until the present day has shown me a few things about my own Nacr3. And I figured that I can&#
