Strategic Legacy Building in 2024!

Happy New Year, Pearls!

It is great to be back at the regularly scheduled events. So let's get into it. 

As an urban-based education administrator and passionate advocate for inclusive learning, I understand the power of creating spaces that foster success for BIPOC students. Today, I want to redirect my and your focus to my other dynamic group within our community: Black women mom-preneurs. These incredible individuals embody Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle!—the core elements of the NACR3 Effect. Here's a strategic guide on how you, Pearl, can build your legacy in 2024.

Strength
  • Define Your Purpose: Begin by identifying your passion and purpose. What legacy do you want to leave for your children and the community? This clarity will be the driving force behind your journey.
  • Prioritize Self-Care: Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship requires self-care. Nurture your well-being to maintain the energy and enthusiasm needed for sustainable success. Remember, taking care of yourself is an investment in your legacy.
  • Continuous Learning: Stay informed and continuously seek opportunities for learning and growth. Attend workshops, webinars, and conferences to stay updated on industry trends and enhance your skills.
  • Leverage Your Strengths: Recognize and harness your unique strengths. As a mom-preneur, you possess a wealth of skills gained from both motherhood and entrepreneurship. Use these strengths to your advantage in every aspect of your business.
Resilience
  • Cultivate Resilience: Entrepreneurship is a journey filled with highs and lows. Develop a resilient mindset to navigate challenges. Embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, and learn from each experience to emerge stronger.
  • Strategic Networking: Surround yourself with a supportive network. Connect with other mom-preneurs, mentors, and professionals who share your values. Collaborate and exchange insights to expand your knowledge base and business opportunities.
  • Passing on Wisdom: Share your journey and insights with others, especially aspiring mom-preneurs. Act as a mentor or resource, contributing to the growth and success of future generations.
Sparkle!
  • Incorporate Sparkle into Branding: Your brand should reflect the essence of who you are. Infuse sparkle into your branding—something distinctive that sets you apart. Let your sparkle shine, whether it's a signature style, a unique product, or a memorable customer experience.
  • Legacy Planning: Strategically plan for the future. Consider how your business and impact will endure over time. This may involve succession planning, community initiatives, or educational programs that align with your legacy goals.
  • Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Reflect on your progress and use these moments to motivate you.

This year, Nacr3 is looking to increase its impact and village, so be on the lookout for a more interactive platform. Building a legacy as a Black woman mom-preneur is multifaceted and requires intentional focus. Strategical legacy building requires you to be purposeful about your efforts and the intended outcomes. Even if you are at the starting line, let's get ready to go for your dreams. You and I can create a lasting impact beyond your immediate sphere by embracing the NACR3 Effect—Strength, Resilience, and Sparkle!


💛 Dr. Dori

PEARLs and TAXES

Good day Pearls , Now that the holiday season has come to an end our next big endeavor is TAX TIME! 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. Though you may be quite familiar with filing your own taxes, don’t assume you are an expert with your small business tax responsibilities. 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. To prepare for this blog entry, I took the opportunity to speak with a Certified Public Accountant in the DC Metropolitan area with over 20+ years of experience to give some pointers on keeping your hustle solid and fiscally sound. Mr. Robert L. Waller, CPA/CFE , was eager to provide direction for Women Small Business Owners on a few questions regarding responsibiliti...

The Golden Life!

 Dearly Beloved,  "We're gathered here today to get through this thing called life!" 2021 has come in like a lion. 2020 was a little quieter coming into being than going out, but 2020 absolutely pales in comparison (in audacity and not as in parity) to just the first 6 days of 2021. But if there is one thing that 2020 taught us or reminded us of was to survive. Many comedians color a social crisis as something that minorities (African-Americans) don't tend to panic when times of austerity are pressing. Several of us have been figuring out a new way of life to survive this pandemic. You know that's what 2020 taught you, if nothing else. There are sisters out there that have opened their dream side hustles or kicked that 9 to 5 to pursue their dreams of selling their favorite craft or family sweet potato pie recipes. 2020 taught us how to diversify our portfolios on the stock market and diversify our squads and financial streams.  But just as a great word once said,...
