Our WHY is now coming into play, this is going to give our GOALS direction We should have two main goals at all times. An overarching ultimate goal and the current year goal.

info_outline 031: Are you a Broke Entrepreneur or just Broken?Job Optional Podcast with Jenae Nicole
While reading an email from Michelle Talbert from Her Power Hustle with the question is your target audience broke? Made me think about my own "broken" mentality of Being cheap and over protective is holding me back. Broken in your mindset of lack. We buy what we want to buy. We find resources for what we want. I truly believe what you think about you bring about and what we say is what we see. Don’t give everything away. This is a business folks ain't gonna ask Chanel to take 20 dollars off them bags.

info_outline 027: Stand Out from the CrowdJob Optional Podcast with Jenae Nicole
There was a great analogy about being your Authentic self in Business on an episode of Podcasts sessions by Podcast Movement 15. It spoke about what is your "est"? Like Garyvee is the crazi'est' and Ellen Degeneres is the funni'est'. You Differentiate yourself from the market with what makes you special. Is it your wit, sweetness, Whatever it is it's in Your DNA. Your unique fingerprint so to speak. When u don’t use your individuality you become Cookie cutter and add to the noise.
