Beyonce And Competiton

May 2, 2018 by robincharmagne 12 Comments

Hey pretties,
I really have been on a Beyonce kick lately and drum roll, she is my Woman Crush Wednesday. Still thinking about the Coachella, er Beychella performance. Honestly, I didn’t know and still don’t know too much about Coachella. Is it like Woodstock? LOL Did I just age myself? So if it is, I imagined she would be on stage in daisy dukes, a tee, and a flower wreath. She would proceed to sing a few songs and that would be it, nothing too big. Welllll babbeee, was I wrong. I will not rehash the amazing performances, you can catch the first one on Youtube.

This girl recreated the HBCU experience, complete with drum majorette, 200 member marching band, with a drum-line and horns, dancers, a majorette who twirled not one but two batons, a group of pledges, stepshow, Les Twins, a dance party with Solange, duet with hubby, The Negro National Anthem, swag and surf ANNDDDD a Destiny’s Child mini-reunion. Really? Really Beyonce? You had to to all that? You so extra!!! Well yes she did. She outdid herself. In her own words…

For me, her performances were a lesson for us all, creatives, entrepreneurs, working moms, college students etc. You compete with no one but yourself and even at the height of your success, don’t get comfy, push yourself to do more. Be better than the last time. Let’s face it, she did not have to do THE MOST, after all, she’s sold 100 million records and has 22 Grammys. And by a lot of standards is the top female performer today. She could sit back and coast or do THE LEAST. But no, she challenged herself to bring a unique experience/performance to Coachella. My takeaway, it does not matter where you are on your journey to success, do THE MOST all the time. Out do YOU!

What lessons if any did you take from Beychella?

Lounging And Learning – OOTD #104

March 1, 2017 by robincharmagne 23 Comments

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.
mytaught-robincharmagne
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.

Business Babes – Faves On Friday

August 28, 2015 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

robincharmagne talks business goals

Happy Friday,
This week finished on a busy note, which is fine by me. I would rather be busy getting things done that move me toward my goals. Pretties, I have seriously been grinding for the past few weeks, being intentional about my business goals and objectives – defining my end game. I’m always looking for business motivation whether that is people, books, quotes, or a good movie. Today’s Faves on Friday is some business goodies to help you get to your end game.

1 – Sometimes we think people who have money or who are doing well are different from us, well yes they are. They think differently. You wanna be rich, successful, and happy then you have to change your mind. Best business advice I have read this year!

2 – Grammar Police? Um yeah. Sorry, not sorry. Some words and phrases get ingrained in our head and we use them everyday – incorrectly. I know that you know at least one person who needs this list stat! My vocabulary is expanded for sure.

3 – This beauty encompasses the one trend you betta rock this Fall. And, in a faux fabric, you will have some coins left over to snag a bag in this trend too. Wearing this jacket will make you feel like a real Boss Chick – girls, who run the world.

4 – This super short book asks where will you be five years from today? It seems far off, but time goes by pretty quickly. Do you know where you want to live, what you want to be doing? If not, this book can help you getcho life! Great Christmas gift too!

5 – When I need inspiration in business, this rags to riches movie gets me pumped up to meet my goals. Favorite line – “Dress shabbily, they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they notice the woman – Coco Chanel! Say that Sigourney Weaver.

What are some of the goals you are trying to achieve? Let’s cheer each other on!

Have an absolutely fabulous weekend!
