The Goal Standard

If you're waiting for a sign to stop running away from your real purpose, this is it!  

We're talking to Tina Fears who tells us the story about how she kept running away from her creative side and toward stability.   This didn't last long because her purpose kept pulling her back in. She ultimately started her company Stage Ready after leaving college. Stage ready ended up being a full-service base for creatives. 

If you know you're meant to do something different, listen to this episode and use it as the fuel you need to go after your purpose, fearlessly. 

 

Here's what we talk about: 

• How her upbringing helped her become who she is today
• How having parents as entrepreneurs actually motivated Tina to do the opposite 
• The ups and downs of being an entrepreneur and how to persevere
• How working a 9 to 5 is actually smart when starting out as an entrepreneur

If you've scrolled through social media and seen the phrase #heyFRIEND, chances are you've come across Keisha Mabry.  

Keisha's goal is to help you get connected to the people and resources needed to catch your dreams.  Keisha does this as a speaker and through her book ' Hey Friend: 100 Ways to Connect to 100 People in 100 Days'.  Most recently, she's created her one day conference in St. Louis called 'MastHerclass', A day of application and inspiration for entrepreneurs, creatives and influencers in the Midwest. 

Keisha shares her most important tips when it comes to networking as a black woman, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.  She talks about finding what she loves to do, how speaking was the perfect way to get into entrepreneurship, and so much more.

What  I love the most about this episode is that even though it wasn't always easy, she always found a way to weave in her passion:  Mission work and business into her career. 

If you know you're meant for something more, but you don't know what the next step is, this episode is for you.

I had a lot of wins and A LOT  of losses in 2019. A lot of the things that I thought would work out didn't but in typical Lene fashion, I've found  a way to turn every single one of those things into a stepping stone to help me win in 2020.  

 

In this episode, I'm talking all about my top 7 failures and disappointments in 2019, how they're going to help my 2020 glow up, and how you can do the same.  

 

If you get anything from this episode, I want you to understand that it's all about your mindset.  How you view what happens to you matters more than what actually happens. Let's keep this energy in 2020!

This entrepreneur life has been a journey and I'm really still at the beginning of it, but I wanted to take a moment and reflect by sharing the five things I've learned since starting my own business.  I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly because I don't want you to ever say that no one told you! Here are the 5 things I'll go in detail about:

• How important systems are and how crazy my life is because I didn't set it up properly in the beginning
• Sacrificing time in order to work on my goals
• How much I had to learn, just to get here
• The importance of ownership and building wealth is to me

This episode is really interesting because Chelsea really takes us behind the scenes to show us exactly how she got to this point in her life, from her childhood to relationships, and everything in between.   Everything that Chelsea decided she wanted, she manifested and created the life she wants. 

If you're at a point in your life where you know you want more, but you're not sure what steps you should take to get there, this episode is for you.

Ticora Davis of The Creator's Law Firm talks to us about why it's important for us to trademark our creations as people of color, and how to get it done as cost-effective as possible. 

I'm actually in the process of rebranding because I didn't trademark my brand properly.  I'm sharing the story, what I'm going through, and what I learned through my big mistake of not trademarking my brand in the beginning.

If there's one thing I've learned through this experience, it's that the culture vultures are lurking, listening and waiting to swoop in and take credit for what we create.  (not saying that I created the term Glow Up, but a person of color surely did. The owner of the trademark is not a person of color) PROTECT YOUR SMARTS, SIS!  Ticora shows you exactly how to do so in this episode.

This week is super special.  We're talking to Ko about being an artist, working as an entrepreneur, and all the challenges she went through. 

 

Ko grew up on a tiny island before moving to the US at 14.  When life didn't go as planned after college, she had to quickly figure out how to make the best of it. What I love about Ko's story is that she's always known what she wanted, and always has a plan to make her dreams a reality. 

 

The best part is… She's my sister!  We grew up together so I thought I knew everything about her life, but I've never heard it from her perspective.
