Show up Strong | It's Our Month!


Hey Reader, how are your friend?

Great I hope & you will be even better when you learn that in America they are celebrating Black Business Month. Given that we copy everything that america do, I think we are good to jump on the bandwagon and really promote ourselves & our businesses.

I am pushing on with the goal of launching in the month of August, given that it's Black Business month it only seems right and also to the fact that my birthday is also in August; I just think it will be pretty significant.

I have a few more bits to complete and then the doors will open; I am so excited and yet so tired at the same time, building a business is no joke!

I have linked to your next batch of content prompts - I'd love to know if these are helpful and if you have used any of the prompts you've received so far - Hit reply and let me know, better yet tag us on Instagram or on Facebook so we can virtually cheer you on!

Grab the prompts here >>>Black Business Vault Content Prompts 003.pdf<<<

Have a blessed week & show up strong for your business

Hey Friend, Guess what? I used to be utterly petrified of LinkedIn. Yep, the "Content Creation Strategist" herself was once worried about popping up on the professional platform. Why?
