Do you know how much money I’d have if I had a nickel for every time someone’s told me "I have a great idea?" They go on to say “My tax bracket would definitely jump a few ladders. A younger me would probably just agree that the idea is good and keep moving.” Nowadays, I ask "What's stopping you from pursuing this great idea?" There's a bevy of excuses I usually receive after posing that question, but I never hear the truth. In my opinion, there's a few groups people fall into when it comes to not pursuing an idea:
- Just dreaming
- Waiting for the perfect time or money to come
- Slacking in doing the work
- Fearing success
Guess what?! To obtain the success you desire from pursuing that great idea, you must remove yourself from each of the above mentioned groups. Remember, perfection is the enemy of done. The team at I Am Black Business encourage you to get up and get going. Our directory is not just a list of black owned businesses, it's a network of motivated people who have decided to get up and reach for their dreams.
