Excuses in entrepreneurship are not allowed. They keep you stuck and create a barrier between you and success, and what you once started will crumble. Say no to excuses and yes to success!

I have a special guest for today's episode, a woman with an improvement story where the word "excuse" wasn't in her vocabulary; this woman is Rodrika Bailey Scott.

Rodrika is a woman who had a child at 16 years old, something that for many may be the end of their future but for Rodrika was the driving force to achieve their dreams and goals.

We will talk about overcoming, the importance of having a niche, and why you should have training before startup your entrepreneurship. Also, you will hear Rodrika's story and the mentality that has led her to achieve everything she has set out to do.


ABOUT RODRIKA BAILEY SCOTT

An experienced business owner originally from Augusta, Ga. Rodrika relocated to Savannah in 2010 to attend Armstrong Atlantic State University. While attending, she found her passion for serving women and minorities in her role as President of Feminists United. She graduated Armstrong in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in Gender and Women’s’ Studies along side a minor in African American Studies.

Rodrika is the founder and owner of Bailey’s Belles LTD, a vacation rental cleaning service that serves the Downtown Historic District.

Rodrika is the founder and owner of Bailey's Belles LTD, a vacation rental cleaning service that serves the Downtown Historic District. She partners with homeowners to stage their homes for multiple streams of income.

•[1:56] How did she get into the cleaning services.
After graduating from university, opportunities were presented to Rodrika (a cleaning lover since young). One of them was working for a vacation rental cleaning service. Now she owns a company where she offers the same service.

•[4:12] A niche from the beginning.
Learned from her mother, Rodrika concentrated on what she did best and loved, refusing to do other types of cleaning services. Without knowing, she created a niche, which has helped her to grow her business.

•[6:51] If you are looking for expansion, start with yourself.
Sometimes it can take a long time to grow our business, but we cannot speed up the process; we just can refine the ways we reach the public. One of the ways that Rodrika found was to expand her personal brand to reach more people and make her business known.

•[8:48] Before starting your business, get a coach.

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR

•[0:57] Meet Shaan Rais.
Leadership Development Expert and Industrial and Organizational Psychologist, Shaan Rais is a Speaker with a Master's Degree in Evidence-Based Coaching.

•[2:43] The lowest point of Shaan's career, a decision between family or fast street life.
People who have strong stories have strong businesses. After spending a life where the streets were his teacher, Shaan had to remember who he was, his values , and decide: his family or the fast street life?

•[6:31] What inspired Shaan to create Branded Like A Leader.
Like all entrepreneurs, the covid gave us new challenges to face, and Shaan was no exception. Due to the Covid prohibitions, Shaan had to stop his talks and find a solution to continue working, a solution founded on his phone.

•[10:56] Changing the face of leadership.
With most of his clients being African-American people, Shaan realized that there was a gap in the world of leadership; there were not many people like him and me; African-Americans leaders. In this segment, Shaan will talk to us about how we can change the face of leadership for Black men and women and create excellent leadership.

•[18:24] Talking with Shaan about systems and processes.
Have you heard about the time collapse systems? It is an incredible system implemented by Shaan where he had the idea of turning five years of processes into 1-year. Learn how.

•[22:31] Using midset to create extraordinary businesses.
You have no option: Your mentality has to be of success! As Shaan said in this segment: "We develop a mindset in the darkness, and your perception can be your passport or your prison."

•[27:23] Monkey mind vs. Money mind.
We usually have a poor mindset when we talk about what will make us rich; money. We often devalue our jobs but, don't be afraid to dare yourself to add one more zero to that price!
