The Art of Taking Risk
No risk no reward. It's important to self motivate and invest in what you are passionate about. Often times, I feel discouraged and seek reassurance from others. I'm not going to lie, this is a mental struggle for me however, it is such an unfair way of thinking! Seeking assurance from people is unfair to them as well as yourself. Why can't you just believe in yourself enough to do what you feel in your heart with confidence? Let go and let God right? I am guilty of getting caught up in social media, hoping and wishing I could have enormous sales overnight from my post. Due to the fact social media is over saturated and more so a popularity contest, entrepreneurs have to really put themselves out there and take risk. The face to face approach is most effective in the long run because this gives you a chance to meet your potential customer. If I am hesitant to purchase jewelry online then I'm pretty certain most people are too. Therefore, I rented a space at The Market NYC in Brooklyn so that I can no longer hide behind the internet with my product. As a first time vendor I was able to make back what the booth cost but not much more than that. Not to be discouraged I know this is something you have to constantly do in order to see what people are looking for, gain feedback and have a presence. You have to spend money to make money. Work at your own pace and never compare your business to another. Here are a few photos from my pop-up shop.

The Art of Remembering
I will never forget... I wasn't living in New York at the time. Here I am 15 years later and now married to an NYC firefighter. 9/11 is etched in my heart forever.

The Struggle Is Real
Experiencing humiliation is humbling yet a hard pill to swallow. After
sharing news with people I felt of things coming to fruition, everything I
believed turned out to be taken away. I was expecting my second child &
weeks into my pregnancy I was informed there was no heartbeat. After being out
of work since 1/15/16 I started my own jewelry business and in that time
applied for a grant. Today I received a rejection email of not being a
recipient for it. Prior to these two humiliating moments I was called to
audition for a commercial I did not get called back for. I ask myself,
"When am I going to get a fucking break?" It sounds raw but you know
what...I am human. One cannot help but to be in their feelings for a moment
when you bust your ass to achieve things in life when odds are against you. As
a woman of faith I have to believe there is a great blessing around the corner.
I will not curse God because this is what the enemy wants. The Lord is my
Shepard, I shall not want. Psalm 23
