Hello Pretties,
I have been gone soooo long and I am overjoyed to be back to blogging. I missed interacting with y’all my lovely readers and sharing content that educates and elevates your life and style. But y’all I needed a break to re-group and get my mind right.
Going into my 5th year of blogging, I needed to gain clarity about this little ol’ blog and all the other projects on my plate. I realized to accomplish all the things keeping me up at night, I needed to develop a new mentality – the hustle mindset. Who knows more about the hustle than Myleik Teele. Yes she is that favorite, smart lil’ cousin who just has “it.” When she snapped (Snapchat) that The Hustler Manifesto journal was on pre-order last year, I snagged it quick, fast, and in a hurry.
In my comfy lounge wear, I curled up on the couch and started devouring the gems she drops in this journal about life and entrepreneurship.
Man, they didn’t teach me any of this in 12 years of school, 4 years of college and 2 years of grad school. You know, the unwritten rules that often women and people of color are not privy to in business. The things nobody is honest about cause everybody wants to keep the secret sauce to themselves. Myleik is not necessarily an open book, but she clearly wants everyone to win at life and entrepreneurship and that is refreshing.
Hustle Gems
1 – Expand your circle to include folks that are better at some stuff than you
2 – Do what is right no matter who is or isn’t watching
3 – You are not what happened to you in the past, don’t let it hinder you
My head is much more clear now and I have a plan of tangible action steps to blog about topics that are useful and excel in some other ventures. Oh, can I tell you how comfy I was soaking up all this knowledge in lounge wear and sipping on some tea in a super cute Rae Dunn mug, another creative entrepreneur. So soft and warm and just what I needed to sit on the couch for hours planning world dominance…I’m kidding.

These tips and advice are so precious. It’s hard to leave our past behind, but we must. I love the hair. Your makeup is cute and simple. I want to steal that cardi. It looks comfy.

I try to reset but am not very good at it, therefore, I just keep going. I did take a break from blogging for a few weeks at the end of the year only because I was launching a new blog – did that count? So glad to see you are back and looking good sis.

Thank you Antionette! The new layout is so pretty, I like it a lot!
Carla Bethany says
Beautiful blog and pictures. I didn’ take anytime off in January to reset and I felt it. Feburary brought some unexpected challegnes but I’m glad that I reset again this March.

I don’t have that journal, but I do subscribe to her podcast. However, I haven’t listened to very many of them. I’ll have to remember to listen more often to her podcast, because I always read about how great she is.

You’re looking all cute and comfy!
