Mini Business/Side Hustle Plan



Hey Tribe, I have created a free and simple mini-business plan to help all creative and social entrepreneurs map out their side hustle/small business needs.

1. Your WHY/Mission/Vision- To upstart your side hustle/small business, you need to know why you are starting in the first place. This is called storytelling/your pitch. People usually connect with you due to your story. We all have a story to share, and when you are in business, people want to know your story, and you need to know your why. Take a few minutes to think about your why and write it down.

2. #Goals #Goals #Goal: You should have personal, professional, and business goals. These goals will help you and your business to grow. When you sit down to write your goals, think BIG because this is the "Do or Die" time when starting and growing a business. Don't shrink yourself or your goals. Your goals should consist of happiness. How much money do you want your business to make? Location-free business? International business? Local business? This is when you will explore your goals, write them down, develop a timeline, 3-5 action plans to achieve goals, and get it in. No shortcuts. No shrinking your greatness. Make sure your goals are achievable and realistic.

3. Who is your business for? What is your target market? This business is very pertinent because you need to research, know your customer, afford your services/products, see your customer before they see you, solve their problems, understand their goals, know where they shop, their hopes, dreams, and etc. You need to flush out this section. Be very descriptive. Give your ideal customer a name. Gender. Where do they live? What do they drive? Martial status? Educational status? Location? Traveler? Nationality? Ethnicity? Music genre of choice? How much do they make? Brands they love? Personality? What do they do for a living? What are some things they hope for and dream about? Volunteer? This will help you know your customer and start creating products and services based on what you have written down.

4. Social Media Platforms/Where are your customers? Do they like social media? Are they on Facebook? IG? Have Twitter fingers? Pinterest? Snapchat? Love emails? Love text messages? Where do your clients communicate the most on?

5. What are your services/products? Do you have affordable pricing? Have you sent out surveys and received feedback back? Focus groups? Giveaways and contests? Appropriate labeling? Why should anyone purchase your services/products? How many streams of income can you create from your products/services?

6. Outside Activity: Do you attend vending events? Networking events? Have business cards? Go to conferences? Public speaker? Enter pitching contests? Participate in your local incubators? Chamber of Commerce? ETC

7. How many coins do you need to start your business/side hustle? There are plenty of grants you can apply for to start your business. You have loans, microloans, and other kinds of business loans. Do you have a separate business account? Can you start your business right now without funding or funding from your own pockets?

This mini business plan should keep your business. This is the primary stage to see how to operate your side hustle with a plan and vision.

Please share this mini business plan with your fellow side hustlers, creatives, and social entrepreneurs. Let's get paid and not play for our creativity.

You Are Not Intimidating, They Are Intimidated By Your Light


It is interesting when you speak truth to power, hold people accountable, shut ish down, stay in your lane, know your worth, and will not accept low-level behavior; you are intimidating.
Nah, Love, they are intimidated by your FLYness!
Don't forget to join The Careerist Project on March 19th at 7pm EST/6pm CST! We are hosting our 2nd Masterclass, "Slay Workplace Stress," virtually! We will record this masterclass for those who will be unable to attend.

From the South With Love!

“Don’t try to convince anyone that you’re a good person. Quit trying to win someone over who isn’t kind, but only tolerates you-you don’t need their approval. Be kind, be respectful, but you don’t have to stay… go where you are celebrated. Keep living forward and trust that the right people are there. You never need to convince anyone to love you." -Anonymous

Happy 2020! We made it another year, another decade, and another day. I am still here in Bama living my best and simple life. I am celebrating every moment and minute because sometimes we often take advantage of where we are in the journey and want to rush through the process of despair, hurt, and embarrassment. Everything that you are experiencing is preparing you to be resilient. Now, people think resilience is just being gritty, mentally tough, and Teflon Don strong. Nah. Being resilient is to understand how to recover from pain, trauma, drama, and shame. Being resilient is having the ability and confidence to learn and navigate past experiences without staying stuck and defeated. 

This year is my 3rd year living in Alabama and I am enjoying my experience thus far. I am easing my way into relationships (old and new), brought my 1st home in April 2019, learning new coping strategies, skills, hobbies, and learning how to chill. I am still battling this mysterious illness, but each day I am getting stronger, whole, and healed. I have to give many thanks to my acupuncturist who discovered that I was misdiagnosed and wasting my time taking a medication that I didn't need. 

Was I hurt? Of course, but like Diddy said, "You can't hold me down. Oh no, I got to keep on moving." Not only do I have to keep on moving, but I have some healing and restoration to do as well.  

I am thankful I found a place or the place found me where I can be loved, celebrated, and be carefree when I want to be. I understand life isn't perfect and life is what you make it out to be. Being a realist who has a clear understanding of self-awareness and a sense of self, I prefer to focus on feeling better holistically and having the ability to help others to do the same. There are some days, I am not my best. There are some days, others have to pick up my slack.

There are some days, I want to go awf (off) on folks who are miserable, mean-spirited, abusive, angry, and negative. Then I take a step back and analyze and let them know that they are "out of pocket" and "out of order." That's called setting boundaries, standing up for yourself, and being assertive. It's okay to tell a negative, abusive, negative attention seeker, manipulator, narcissists, control freak and, a destructive person that's out of order. It is okay to leave the Tic for Tac messages unread. It is okay to love yourself enough to walk away when pettiness is being served. It is okay to stand alone and be at peace within.

The blessed don't beef with the petty.

I just want to send major love, light, peace, healing, wholeness, positivity, resiliency, prosperity, and everything dope your way. This year will require you to step all the way up to be accountable, responsible, and organized. No more being tolerated, baby. This year it is all about being celebrated.

Your 2019-2020 Reminder

Start getting rid of people, things, thoughts, behaviors, energy, and vibration that no longer serves you. Start getting clear on who you are, what you want, what you want to do, and who you want to surround yourself NOW.

2020 is fastly approaching and we don't have no time to play around. It is time to cleanse and detox!
