Ready to turn your passion into profit? The Mind Our Business hosts dive deep into the essential, raw steps of launching an entrepreneurial venture.

This episode kicks off with a powerful quote from Dr. Avis Jones-Weaver that challenges the hosts to confront self-doubt and the fear of putting their gifts out there.

Tune in for real talk on:

• Identifying Your Gift: The difference between knowing your talent (Gee Gee Garcia's dance, Samona Jenkins' style) and figuring out how to monetize it for a living.

• The Self-Doubt Struggle: The women share personal stories about battling fear of failure, comparing themselves to others, and learning to push past outside noise to stay focused. (Hint: It involves rebooting, not failing!)

• Passion vs. Profitability: How do you balance the love for your work with the need to eat? The collective answer is clear: Set boundaries, know your worth, and be prepared to walk away from contracts that undervalue you.

• Client Clarity: Dr. Carmen emphasizes the importance of knowing your ideal client—the one who aligns with your core values—and accepting that "all money is not good money" (Carla Shaheed, Gee Gee Garcia).

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck, this episode is packed with essential advice on building character, setting high standards, and following your first mind in business.
