Entrepreneur Success Is Not Overnight
Manage episode 353825549 series 3442451
I knew entrepreneurship wasn't going to be "easy" per se but I also didn't know how long the journey would be (it's still never-ending to be honest!)
Over the past 12 years, I have embarked on this journey.
(Actually longer than that when you break down my mindset back when I was a child - more on that later)
But I didn't always run a successful video production company called Ignite Cinemas where we help small businesses & nonprofits grow using the power of video ... no.
In fact, it all started in 1998 when me and my best friend tried to make berry juice from a berry tree in his backyard and sell the juice like it was lemonade!
From my high school hustlin roots of selling CDs & mixtapes and making money to risking it all filming music videos for popular DC rappers in the roughest & toughest hoods, hoping to catch break of working with mega rap stars, to having a breakdown because I lost a freelance editing contract in a blink of an eye leaving me feeling despair with a family to provide for...
Here is a raw & uncut journey I want to share of what "entrepreneur success" may look like.
It's not all happy freedom land where you are your own boss - living your best life ...
and if they tell you that please don't fall for it.
This is a raw & real story to this day of what entrepreneurship looks like behind the scenes.
When I was starting out I wish there was a podcast like this to help me out.
I pray this story can help someone who is on the road or inspire someone to go after what they dream of.
