Hey, Blog Readers it's been a while. 

I kind of lost touch with my blog for a little there. Life, running a business, starting a Podcast and new pregnancy. Plus tbh I couldn't really find anything that resonated with me to write about anymore. 

But as Black History Month began to come to a close. I found myself in a space of wanting educate, but not only educate but write out my thoughts on a specific topic. 

So, I started drafting and brainstorming ideas.. What did I want to discuss? What did I want to educate the people on? How was I going to bring attention to an area that needs to be seen, but also not seen in a negative way, but to be understood and recognized in a positive way. 

As a women of color owned business I began to see something that was very unsettling for me. Although I knew of several Women of Color Owned businesses here in Utah and the U.S., a small percentage of those businesses were successfully thriving in ways that made me feel like my limiting beliefs could be challenged and faced. 

Could my business in a "Saturated Industry" actually one day care for my family, employees, and most of all myself? 

I felt like there were so many challenges ahead of me, lack of capital, lack of exposure, lack of consistent financial education, fully understanding the complexities of running a business, but most of all being minority based. 

I felt that so many things were going against me, and each of these challenges made me feel like obtaining and achieving my goal of being a successful business owner was one step further and further from me. 

But, as time progressed and I continued to work towards my goals and focus on what was ahead of me, I realized that each challenge was just an obstacle that was helping me grow into a new version of myself. Because each time I overcame one of these what I thought to be to big challenges, I realized how capable I was for success. All I really needed to achieve this success was to believe in myself and my capabilities. 

& although sometimes it was a challenge and I had a hard time fully trusting myself, somehow the universe would step in and hear me in my time of need and show me how great I can truly be .

So for you readers that happen to read this article and connect with the passage and it’s contents understand this..

Although a task may seem to great and you may lack the resources, the knowledge, the funding or the support remember some of the greatest WOC business owners (Oprah, Lisa Price: Carol’s Daughter

 SaVonne Anderson: Aya Paper Co., and believe me there’s many more including myself. 

started from truly nothing, and look at where they are today. 

Never let your limiting beliefs doubts or anxieties of the future stop you from going after what you feel to be your dream.
