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!

PEARLs and TAXES

Good day Pearls , Now that the holiday season has come to an end our next big endeavor is TAX TIME!

What's In it For Me?

Contracts, Agreements, Retainers, Bill of Sale... Each of these documents requires finesse and proper skill to develop and maintain. At both, the stage of development and maintenance, the most important skill to employ is the Art of Negotiation. Do you have this skill; are you willing to take the time to hone it and become adept at it? While speaking with a colleague earlier this week, we discussed 3 important areas to understand before you approach a negotiation: Attentiveness, Pain points, and Assertiveness. Here's how this is another pearl to culture. A. Attentiveness is a nice and professional word commonly used for the phrase "Shut up and Listen". Be sure to do your research on the matter before negotiation talks begin. Once you do begin negotiating with anyone, seek an understanding of the impact of your request on the other person.
