Welcome to La'Quita's Toolbox, where we deliver relevant content that empower entrepreneurs to elevate personally and professionally. Lean in as LaQuita and her guests present you with strategies and insight for unlocking your full potential.

[00:00:42]

In this series, we're going to be having conversations with some of my favorite independent authors. These ladies and gentlemen have written some great works that you will be able to find in eBooks, print, hard copy paperback, as well as on audio-books. We have to ensure that the things we absorb are adding value to our lives.

[00:01:52]

La'Quita's Toolbox is proud to thank our sponsors at Covenant Press. Covenant Press is a faith based Christian apparel and accessory shop. Mrs. Tisha Hammond introduces herself and shares some love with the Toolbox audience.

[00:03:02]

Mrs. Tisha: How are you? I am blessed and highly favored. I feel like I should have worn my Covenant Press T shirt. I love your sponsor. Thank you for having me back.

[00:03:18]

Today we're going to talk about the Daily Devotional for Entrepreneurs, your Season to Grow. If you don't already have it in your library, you need to get it. And if you have some great friends, go ahead and get a copy for them as entrepreneurs.

[00:04:32]

Mrs. Tisha: I am a child of the most high God. I go to work every day for the Lord. I learned the whole concept of putting first my name in all the positions on my company's org chart. Once I did that, my business took off in a totally different trajectory.

[00:10:19]Tisha Hammond's new book is a daily Devotional for entrepreneurs. Hammond says her mind flourishes with creativity when she's near the water. She asks God in prayer, "I want my first book to be about you"

[00:14:50]

You mentioned something that I have every once in a while. I am trying to take the word want out of my vocabulary and replace it with desire. My desire is to be a world renowned speaker. That was so many great nuggets just right there in that small, little brief time.

[00:17:20]

Daily Devotional For Entrepreneurs gives you prompts to grow your business through a spiritual lens. Each daily devotional may take you two minutes to read. What topics would you like to hear from me in 2023 and beyond?

[00:36:29]

I believe in divine assignments. The people that the Lord brings into our lives are for a purpose. That's how you know when you're divinely connected to someone. And that divine connection has caused us to continue to grow and learn from one another.

[00:38:08]

[00:00:05]

Welcome to La'Quita's Toolbox, where we deliver relevant content in the form of tools that empower entrepreneurs to elevate personally and professionally. Lean in as LaQuita and her guests present you with strategies and insight for unlocking your full potential.

[00:00:41]

This week's La'Quita's Toolbox is sponsored by Covenant Press. Covenant Press is a faith based Christian apparel and accessory shop online. Shop until you drop, but don't click off of those pop ups too quickly because they contain valuable discount codes.

[00:02:18]

Dr. Cassandra Bradford is a business consultant specializing in minority owned, woman owned, and veteran owned business certifications. The process can be overwhelming, but we want to make sure that we get those certifications,she says. This week marks Texas Black Business Week.

[00:04:36]

A lot of minority owned businesses think that just because they show up as minorities, it qualifies them to apply. Being certified minority owned means that that minority or that woman business owner must own at least 51% of the business. The program was put into place so that minorities could get their fair share of opportunities.

[00:07:50]

Dr. Cassandra: It pays to be a veteran owned business. That veteran must own at least

51% of the business. Texas, California, and Florida will acknowledge your certification on certain certifications. Veterans get contract matching six times a year.

[00:11:18]

In every state, they have a disadvantaged business certification. Means you can bid over the entire state of Texas or your entire state. Another certification is your historically underutilized business certification, which is your hub. Only two states that have a hub certification.

[00:13:11]

Northern American Industry classification system. NAICS codes are just what your company does, and it assigns it a number. Hub certification, I'm telling you, those contracts are easy to get. Small business certification every state for folks in construction or construction services. The qualifications to win a contract is really high if you're first starting out.

[00:17:51]

The whole point behind the La'Quita's Toolbox podcast is this. I endeavor to bring you guys information, tools, if you will, that can help you grow both personally and professionally. Dr. Cassandra has laid out, I don't know, I stopped counting about 20 tools.

[00:18:59]

La'Quita's Toolbox podcast releases new episodes every Tuesday. Leave me a star rating and a review. Your reviews let me know the things that I'm doing well. Tune in every week, every Tuesday to get a new episode.

[00:19:57]

Once you get certified, the next step in the process really is to get registered with every city, county, state, school, district, college, university, and Fortune 500 company. Anything under $25,000 does not have to be bidded out. There are opportunities out there that you don't have to bid on.

[00:24:02]

When you're bidding on contract, you have to go to the pre-bid meeting. And normally, women are not hunters. So you got to go in there and hunt for these type of opportunities. Sometimes I bid on just to lose.

[00:27:41]

If I lose a contract, I'm going to ask for a debriefing. I'm also going to prepare my proposal just like yours. You better watch out. I'll be just writing proposals in other states, in other cities for the same thing.

[00:32:05]

[00:38:58]

Cassandra: I'll be out in Killeen in March. We're going to be having a think tank. Black women are at a historical high of creating businesses. We need to let government know that we are a viable asset to the US. Economy. Women's History Month is rolling up fast behind it.

Her passion for storytelling and ability to identify the core strengths of her clients make her an invaluable resource for entrepreneurs looking to make their mark.

This is Erin Alexander's story:

Erin Alexander, an expert brand strategist, was no stranger to the importance of personal branding. She had always understood how impactful an authentic brand could be in attracting ideal clients. As a former podcaster and mental health professional, Erin's journey towards understanding the significance of self-branding began when she sought to combine her passion for mental well-being and branding strategies.

It was during this time when she realized that one's emotional and mental state plays a crucial role in developing an effective brand identity. Her conversations with fellow entrepreneurs, particularly women of color like the podcast host LaQuita Monley, led her to grasp the importance of helping clients not only embrace their authentic selves but also love themselves unconditionally.

Erin understood that being confident in one's identity and self-awareness not only strengthens personal branding but also fosters business success.
