This episode I talking a little about the fears and mindset blocks that plague many business owners as they begin to grow in business and learn more about what they are doing vs what they really want to do. This is more of a personal episode but I go into my battle with change vs. growth and how I seem to make it out on the other end.

I had to take a break in our schedule just share this message with you guys because it is so important to the way I see many of us showing up or not showing up in our businesses. Especially for small businesses that are looking to be brand influencers, digital marketing agencies, and thought leaders in our niches.

At the recent BET Awards Famous Movie Producer, Director, Mogul Tyler Perry made a profound speech about how and why he has taken the route he has in his rise to fame and what he would encourage everyone trying to do something different to do.

Here’s the clip is you missed it:

Tyler urged us all to own our stuff, make our own way, and in his words “build your own table”. But here’s the thing, the next day as everyone was celebrating and sharing this message; they were doing the exact opposite of what Tyler told us, instead of making our own table many people quickly rushed and took a seat at his.

In this episode, I talk about why this is such a problematic epidemic for business owners and how we can start using Tyler’s message to grow our business and like he said build our own table.

Favorite Quote “Small business is the fabric of our economy”

23% of Government Contracts are designated for small and minority business owners every year, this amounts to over $115 Billion dollars in contracts a year and that is only at the federal level. Federal, state, and local governments all have various funding that is designated specifically to work certified small businesses and the unfortunate truth is many of us are missing out on it. These government contracts can be a great stream of income. And an opportunity to grow small business ideas for women.

In this episode, we talk with Adrianne M. Callahan a Small Business Specialist (SBS) and Disadvantaged Business EnterpriseProgram Manager for the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) Region 5, Chicago, IL.

In short, she helps small businesses like ours get government contracts and ensures that Women and Minority businesses get a shot at the millions of government dollars spent on vendor contracts each year.

Adrianne joins the show to talk about what small business can do to get certified and secure contracts. She breaks down things like NAICs codes, MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) and WBE (women business enterprise) certifications, and gives a ton of resources for us to get started on your journey.
