Can you share your income when you first started w/ no social media follows or YT subscribers? How many hours you put in...in the beginning? Be careful when hiring biz coaches I spent over $25K on biz coaches & programs. Some coaches tell you to do what everyone else is saying and doing.
I'm 57 years young and I work as a custodian at a nursing home only making nine dollars an hour and get paid every two weeks I hate it!! But I love sewing and haven't done it in years but it's what I love ❤ so I'm pretty sure I still can I just got my sewing machine and table and I got too set up as soon as possible and start my own business with making clothes for kids I just gotta stop and step out on faith!!!
I am just tired of making other millions and not myself. Also, I am tired of my success being dependant on the wrong folks, in the wrong seats. Tired of lazy people getting all the promotions. Tired of training people for the job I should have had. I want to do what I love to do and make good money.
What are you going to do about it? Go get what you want. Be your own advocate, no more whining and complaining, it stops today. Put the invisible tape on your mouth and take action. I dare you.
IKR! We're working ourselves into the ground for businesses that would replace us at the drop of a hat. Surrounded by employees who would bully you and lie about you just to step on you to get to the top. Being monitored more than employees of other ethnicities. I'm so done!
I’m a young black woman who is a software engineer. I have just transitioned to part time so that I can focus on myself and my art. I’m moving abroad soon 🥰
“stop chasing black excellence. it’s killing black women” and “get a coach” were essential for me and i had no idea! i’m 25 and already want a sabbatical 😆 it took youtube a while, but i’m happy they finally got me to you! 💗
I stop applying for a job a long time ago and during the pandemic I had the time to focus and spend all my efforts putting things in order. I’m a Special Education Teacher and I create a Safety Education program for individuals with disabilities. This program will be conducted online as well as face to face. We launch in a few weeks.
That’s amazing!! I keep being told to get into teaching because of my degree but I don’t want to. However, I will be having a minor job in special education soon. I guess I wanted to know how did you figure out that this is something you really wanted to do? And should one pursue something like this even if they aren’t into it?
I came back to say since I stopped applying for jobs for the past two months and I have generated plenty of money, through using my gifts. People told me I could not do it and I have done it.
I am a 60 years old black guy and I am among you girls. Some days ago I discovered Stephanie's TH-cam Chanel and I felt in love with it. I had lost my business oneyear before the pandemic and I was trying to set up another one after it. The pandemic ruined my expectations and I had to look for a job being 58 years old. Thank God, I got a decent job and now I am restarting a new business little by little because I do not have access to banking credits anymore. I hope to settle my new chemical free vegetables farm by Poas Volcano in Alajuela, Costa Rica the coming weeks. I will continue working at the company where I am now until my own business hits the break even point. Thank you Stephanie for your valuable information. Blessings!
Please, involve your daughters in your business. They will be better prepared than their peers to go find how to take care of themselves after their education. Please teach them to be business women. Even if university is what they choose. You're a good father who wants the best for them. 🙏

I work only 3 days a week and spend my days off working on myself ( gym, meal prep, reading, online courses, hobbies, etc. )
You are not inadequate. You can use your nursing experience and start a You Tube fitness and wellness vlog. Don't look at those who are chasing the dollar. They left their family for 6 weeks and more at a time. They are working long hours living in a hotel and zooming their children before bed time. That's no way to raise children. May I mention they are also at risk for Covid and the toll it takes on their health is not worth it. I know because I see the generation before me chase the money in travel nurse and it shows now on them. Many are in poor health, arthritis from lifting pts, diabetes from eating junk food. You seems to have a balance life . Just learn about investments and invest your money. Many travel nurses retired without an income outside of social security. RN here with 30 yrs experience. Invest your money. You will be ahead of them.

@@StephaniePerry That subject is weighty enough to be an entire video. I don't ever recall "black excellence" being talked about from that perspective.
What is we want to live in multiple places around the US and abroad? I’m glad that I came across this channel. I CANNOT go back to a 9-5 I literally felt like I was dying.
Look into the "digital nomad" lifestyle. It involves working jobs that only/mostly require Internet access and a computer. Also look into freelance work that can be done primarily online. Good luck!
Hi Stephanie, You are so correct in so many of the points you made. I started my mental health clinic in 2017. I stepped out on faith and hard work and I have never been happier. I now have seven employees and since COVID, I took my business online and I now only work three days per week from 9-2. So, next month, November, I am flying back to Italy to find and buy a home. I have also signed up for your TH-cam challenge.
Awesome!! I started my dog walking and pet services business in 2017, too. Not yet ready to buy a house from it but I am very happy working for myself.
This is absolutely amazing and a beautiful thing for our community, congratulations!! Is it appropriate to ask where your clinic is? I am very interested in working for you 😭
OMG! This is my dream. I'm finishing up my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Degree in July at Wayne State in Detroit. My goal is full-time travel whenever I want. I'd love to connect with you & watch your journey to get inspiration. Do you have a Facebook, TH-cam or email?
Well said sister! I spent my whole life in corporate America. I only met 6 other Black men in my field in 40 years. I did extremely well, but I had a high demand skill set. My next job will be a business!
I went to college to make a six-figure salary. No one told me that age would deter my climbing the corporate ladder. It would have been better to join the military, retire and see the world through writing, travel and books at a younger age. Marriage was not fruitful for me. I would tell my younger self to travel and cease looking for a husband. It was not worth it. My next job is a business in helping women build their self-esteem and own their own business and property; plan ahead and travel.
This was awesome & divine! We have an Errand & delivery service. It's been slow lately. I started doing Wal-Mart deliveries for supplemental income. My account was deactivated for no explanation, and my metrics were almost perfect. This was easy work. Anyway, I prayed, and asked God what I needed to do. I came to TH-cam for something else, and here you are! Geeesh! God is so real!! Thank you for the reminder, the spark and the confirmation. God told me in 2017, when this business was created, that there was no plan B. Enough proven! I asked
Wow! This is so counter-culture. My husband has been telling me this for years. Thanks for bringing it, in all its authenticity. I mean your timing is impeccable.
Wow! After I just got rejected from one of the top tech companies then this video pops up! The “Black Excellence” myth is so spot on. Thank you for your honesty and advice.
I am a white woman but your title caught my eye as I was scrolling. I am so so so excited to see this. And what's understood doesn't need to be explained. This is awesome!!! More like you are needed. This is exactly what needs to happen. Stay empowered beautiful woman!! 🙌🙌🙌
No no slavery over long time. If you work for free you will not be valued. The time you are giving for free could be spent acquiring extra income somewhere else.
I just found this channel and I love it. I am a white woman who lost her job during the pandemic. And I can't wear a mask nor want to be vaxed. I have always had a small business going on here and there, but never had the time to put much into it. Now I have the time, just need to be able to connect with others. I know one thing, we are all in this together.
I love this bc you went straight to the point.Dont apply for jobs🤦🏽♀️We are sitting on our own business but a lot of us have no help...I need accountability bc I sew and bake and I love what I do.
I think it’s for each person to decide if they want to run a business. I was running my business for over 15 years. A retail company offered me $90,000 to work from home and I took the contract. Along with running my business and doing real estate photography. It honestly helped me slow down and gave me a much needed break from it all. If someone with a entrepreneur spirit wants to work with you that’s a plus. Running a business is not for the weak. Lol
You have a point. I have my own business and I feel like i need a job as well because I feel like my business isn't doing well. I only made one sell so far and then can't afford new material to make my products. I have been trying to figure out what to do about my business. I think you just answered my prayers. You are so on point.
So I quick my job 2 weeks ago, I know I have a talent doing hair. I went to Cosmotology school years ago and still have my license but not doing hair full time. I came across your video today, sis you are speaking straight to me right now, I’m so emotional because I’ve held back my blessings too long. Thanks so much. I’ve subscribe because your blessing me, I pray God continues to use you🙌🏾🙌🏾
I have to say, I listened to the first 2 minutes of this vid and had to stop and say you are a walking- talking Genesis 12:2- Blessed to be a blessing! Each time you come on this platform you have encouraged but also say it a 1000 times in many ways, GO, DO, ACT, it’s all doable! I am thankful for your wisdom, honesty and most of all your laid back attitude especially when you say, “I ain’t working a 9-5 anymore” ”! I cracked up! 🤣 but most of all your wisdom has resonated in my spirit on many many levels. One day I’ll let you know…how. God bless (even tho’ He already is!!!!). Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for refreshing my Spirit and thoughts today! Gen 12:2 ~ "Lech lecha" (Hebrew) "Go Forth" and when G-d said "You shall be a Blessing" it was also a command that all we're doing and Being in our unfolding journey is a Blessing in the world! And that Blessing ain't confined to any 9-5! :) So Thank you for blessing me to remember, and may you continue in radiance and Goodness!
Talk abt divine timing...this video is just what I needed to hear/see. If only I could create a business from my ability to come up with business ideas. My family and I are dreaming of leaving the US, but the idea of not having steady income gives me anxiety. Thanks for this video💚
You can do anything you desire. I just started reading a book named “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy. A good read that’ll help with renewing your mindset for every area of your life. Be blessed!
My supervisor decided to hire his friend and place him as my immediate supervisor. He has less education, is less experienced and I beat him out to get the job I resigned from. The government position he was placed in wasn't even advertised. Needless to say, I resigned last Friday. Ready to build my business!
This has been me since my company closed before the pandemic. I start & stop…then job search again only to be passed over for positions I am qualified for & educated in. Thanks for the end of the year push!
This is divine! I just sent my boss an email to let him know that I need to take a few mental health days. [Been hustling hard to maintain my businesses, travel to work and the dumb stress that comes with the commute and the job]. I hit "send" on the email, turned around to my other computer and here you were! I can't stop crying. This hit me upside the head AND soooo timely. If y'all don't get me signed up for some of this coaching and some challenges! All this black excellence bout to kill me.
When I say I screamed and cackled as soon as I saw the title of this video. In my mind, I literally saw you having this exact reaction 2 days ago! I'm realizing that I truly understand the assignment. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am taking steps day by day.
Yes! Lol TH-cam did send me to you. Nice stumble, as I've been struggling with feeling "stuck" in my office job and professional life. I need to stop doubting myself and get these books written. They're not going to write themselves 😊 I'm an amazing baker (per my customers), but due to my recent Lupus diagnosis I cannot do it anymore. Baking was going to be the vehicle to fulltime fiction writing. Working on Not giving up on myself. I want to write and be free (mentally and in my schedule). Thank you!👌🏽😊🙋🏾♀️
Greetings, I'm a follower of Stephanie as well as taking her challenge. You maybe a great coach for other bakers on your on video's. Just a thought, I'll keep you in my prayers and hold the vision with you of good health and managing sister/teacher Lupus'
Praying for your healing. And that your eyes will be opened to opportunities you never imagined on your life's journey and this healing journey. I stand with G-d in declaring, You Shall Be a Blessing!!
Just a suggestion for the writing: don't forget the option of dictating your work (whether with voice-to-text software, apps, or transcription service). Keep your mind open to thinking outside the box and I'm sure plenty of ideas/solutions for building your business while dealing with chronic illness will reveal themselves. Adjust your crown and move forward,💜
Oh my goodness Stephanie! You have nailed it! Black excellence, permission slips to create and to enjoy life. I need to watch this again and again and then get off the wheel! Thank you!
Beautiful message to all the sistas i wish your channel was around a couple years before my grandma passed I watched her sacrifice everything for my entire family and wish she could’ve embraced your message living out her final days in peace and happiness rather than associate her happiness with ours. You got yourself a new sub🙏🏾
YOU SPOKE DIRECTLY TO ME. I have been applying for jobs all over the place and hearing nothing back. I’ve set my business to the side which was doing great earlier this year. It’s time to get back to what I know
It is obvious you were sent from GOD because this was the exact message I needed to hear! I was actually planning to apply for another role in the same industry knowing that I am no longer invested in the industry or the work! I need to focus on my business!
I was "led" here after deciding I want to pursue entrepreneurship, yet going thru so many emotions including confusion, self-doubt & analysis-paralysis. It's mentally exhausting trying to figure out ALL the steps on my own. I'm definitely getting a coach.
@@StephaniePerry Thanks...I wish you had defined it, though. I am new to that phrase and I think I understand what is implied but I'm unsure. Awesome information. I'm inspired.
I would love to work for myself. I just need to figure out how to get started. I am currently a substance abuse counselor. I work with the homeless population. I love any job that puts me around people. I also love to do crafts. I knit, crochet, and little jewelry making.
Yessssss maaaa'aaam omg this is such a lit video screw them 58 ppl who push thumb down thumbs down ya life black people need to grow their legacy!! I said it for her cause she's being professional on her page doing her thanggg
I'm halfway done with this video. I had to stop and comment that you may have just saved my life. I'd spent most of the morning applying for new full-time and part-time jobs that I don't even wanna work. I want to work for my self. I want to have a TH-cam channel. I want to join your TH-cam challenge. So I said all this to say...I'm going to sign up for a challenge and I'll see you soon. Thanks so much for this video!
I'm so glad I ran into this video. I've been thinking about resigning from one of my jobs since summer. I don't need to do it anymore. I have other skills. I think I'm doing it this week! I'm ready and I'm tired.
Your point is so valid,I have started my decor business. For now it's me alone doing my thing. But the taught of having to employ somebody one day it's a serious taught, why because some people come around steal your ideas and then run off with it like they were the brainchild of your creativity.
@Utajiri Y yes! But not a super large lump sum also I don’t have kids and I chose to rent a room for 650 a month so my monthly expenses have also been cut down a lot! I planned to stay at my job until the end of the year and save a lot more. But CHILEEEE this video was reassurance I needed considering everything that’s going on with covid19. Life is too short.
I am a self taught nail teach, on my days off from work I make with 4 clients, on a Saturday $400.00 and 2clients on Sunday 200.00. That's just on my days off from my 9-5 job. I just started nail school, to get my license , so I can work for myself and not make someone else rich.
The statement pertaining to "only certain occupations are valued" is ringing so true with me. I know someone who has a small house cleaning service for busy professionals and seniors, who are not ambulatory. She's killing it!!
I so appreciate this video! "Black women stop looking for jobs" was all I needed to hear. And yes I am talented with my hands. Love to paint/draw I can do that all day, love to sew but can not the best, love to cook and bake but just for my Familia lol. We are so talented you are so right. We just need to get out the box and Blossom!
Number 4 hit hard...I think I am wanting permission and I don't know why...I will start taking steps to start my coffee and muffin business...I love all aspects of coffee and I am a trained chef and can bake...I can start small by doing it from my home
@Chai's Room "I give you permission to start your coffee and muffin business!" Ok, there it is. :) As a trained chef, you have the actual power to change people's lives for the better! And you can take the fear outta change, cuz who's gonna be afraid with tasty and delightful!?! Seriously, never underestimate great nutritional food "cures" and aromatic, tasty, presentation to spark up people's Spirits with joy! Doctor Minister Chef!! Not just for loaves and fishes . . . Go on an be about your Creator's business!
OMG, I have never watched your channel before today (10/26/21, 4:56 pm CST) and it popped up!!!! Ok AI!!! I just got off the phone with someone who wants me to go back to Corporate and she'd convinced me to go back because "they could really use your skills", her words not mine. You must be a God send, to tell me to believe in my own dream/business vs. helping to build someone else's. I know you don't k now me and I don't know you BUT...God knows ALL THINGS! Bless you and all that you're doing!!!
I stumbled on this video and It blessed my soul. I just took another position and I honestly asked myself, "Why the hell am I doing this to myself? You are running back to the same pattern and position you really are good at, but honestly aren't feeling fulfilled in and really can't stand!" LOL I am going to look for a coach this week. I have to get out this MINDSET...I have to work this day to day - 9 to 5 and get into an Successful - Business mindset. Thank you so for your insight and encouragement. WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!
Great video! I’m transitioning to freelance work and other projects so I can quit my job. School starts back soon and I already know that with Covid and monkey pox, schools will close a lot and I need to get ahead of it.
Not applying but I think I know someone who has. She is most likely your best candidate. She really doesn’t need a job but she could help you grow your company. Kindred spirit! So Godspeed. I see nothing but mad success for you and my friend. I love this new global entrepreneurial wealth building creating ease for Black women spirit. It’s holy. Sisters are doing it for themselves. Let’s go❤
Stephaine I hope you are feeling better. Today I am Grateful for you and your desire to empower blackwomen in the simplist teams realize their value ... Help me to start House sitting.
I watch her videos and feel an instant liberation! Then I start thinking. Too much! I am an RN and I teach College Comp and Rhetoric- there has to be something I can do…
Stephanie, this message is so powerful. One reason I pulled back from my business is because I became very stressed out while trying to grow my business and work my full-time job last year. There were other factors that came into play as well. But now that I have a handle on my new full-time position (teaching), I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. I was truly overwhelmed, but I stepped back a bit to reevaluate my boundaries within my business and life in general!
Yes lady tell it. You are so wise and super beautiful 😍 I checked out of job application marathon. I am a full time TH-camr now teaching spiritualism and an author, cause I had a major breakthrough as an author, coach, and want to teach people how I did it. Keep up the great work from one creator to another. 😊
I started an online boutique that I want to eventually open a physical boutique soon I stopped pushing my business when I got pregnant and became a little discouraged and have kind of a abandoned my business but my husband has been motivating me to keep going start back and don’t give up so once we move I’m gonna start it again and keep pushing at it! Thanks for this
This is so true. I am working full time and have a special needs son, so the businesses I have on the side, which are viable, I have not been able to focus on! I want to be profitable, but to get to the money, I need to be more focused.
There's so many things I could say! This message is soooo timely! Particularly during The Great Resignation!! We are great! We are creative and innovative!!

No time wasted! 💗
I never clicked a video so fast🤣🤣
Period!💅🏾
I like it. There was no introductory and senseless explanation on the topic. We have no time to waste.

I work only 3 days a week and spend my days off working on myself ( gym, meal prep, reading, online courses, hobbies, etc. )
You are not inadequate. You can use your nursing experience and start a You Tube fitness and wellness vlog.
Don't look at those who are chasing the dollar. They left their family for 6 weeks and more at a time. They are working long hours living in a hotel and zooming their children before bed time. That's no way to raise children. May I mention they are also at risk for Covid and the toll it takes on their health is not worth it. I know because I see the generation before me chase the money in travel nurse and it shows now on them. Many are in poor health, arthritis from lifting pts, diabetes from eating junk food.

Hi Stephanie, You are so correct in so many of the points you made. I started my mental health clinic in 2017. I stepped out on faith and hard work and I have never been happier. I now have seven employees and since COVID, I took my business online and I now only work three days per week from 9-2. So, next month, November, I am flying back to Italy to find and buy a home. I have also signed up for your TH-cam challenge.
You can hire me!
Awesome!! I started my dog walking and pet services business in 2017, too. Not yet ready to buy a house from it but I am very happy working for myself.
This is absolutely amazing and a beautiful thing for our community, congratulations!!
Is it appropriate to ask where your clinic is? I am very interested in working for you 😭
Congratulations!
OMG! This is my dream. I'm finishing up my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Degree in July at Wayne State in Detroit. My goal is full-time travel whenever I want. I'd love to connect with you & watch your journey to get inspiration. Do you have a Facebook, TH-cam or email?

It's all about building up
I'm so glad you're here Anne! Thanks for watching. 💗
Well said sister! I spent my whole life in corporate America. I only met 6 other Black men in my field in 40 years. I did extremely well, but I had a high demand skill set. My next job will be a business!
I went to college to make a six-figure salary. No one told me that age would deter my climbing the corporate ladder. It would have been better to join the military, retire and see the world through writing, travel and books at a younger age. Marriage was not fruitful for me. I would tell my younger self to travel and cease looking for a husband. It was not worth it. My next job is a business in helping women build their self-esteem and own their own business and property; plan ahead and travel.
It IS okay to have free time as an adult! Well said! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I like my freetime!!! I'm 43 years old, working full-time and in my 3rd year of college 3/4 time....I CHERISH any little "downtime" I have.
This was awesome & divine! We have an Errand & delivery service. It's been slow lately. I started doing Wal-Mart deliveries for supplemental income. My account was deactivated for no explanation, and my metrics were almost perfect. This was easy work.
Anyway, I prayed, and asked God what I needed to do. I came to TH-cam for something else, and here you are! Geeesh! God is so real!!
Thank you for the reminder, the spark and the confirmation. God told me in 2017, when this business was created, that there was no plan B. Enough proven!
I asked
Wow! This is so counter-culture. My husband has been telling me this for years. Thanks for bringing it, in all its authenticity. I mean your timing is impeccable.
Wow! After I just got rejected from one of the top tech companies then this video pops up! The “Black Excellence” myth is so spot on. Thank you for your honesty and advice.
I saw the title & immediately laughed because I'm currently looking for a new job. 😁
Hey Candace, do you already have a business that needs some attention to grow?
@@StephaniePerry I don't, but I have thrown around some ideas.
Me too. 😄 Had to thank her right away. Just finished a new resume and was like boo🤪🙃.. this video hit just in time.
Peace and Love, 🙂🙃
Mee too it’s so annoying nobody ever calls back if they do not enough money etc
"Black excellence" gutted me. Listen. I need to work through that. Thank you for bringing it to the front of mind as a REAL issue to tackle.
I am a white woman but your title caught my eye as I was scrolling. I am so so so excited to see this. And what's understood doesn't need to be explained. This is awesome!!! More like you are needed. This is exactly what needs to happen. Stay empowered beautiful woman!! 🙌🙌🙌
Let me tell you, My boss asked me to do some extra work for free. I'm tired of doing work for next to nothing
Whatever you're doing extra for free for your boss, you can be doing that for other clients where you will be getting paid what's your worth!!
No no slavery over long time. If you work for free you will not be valued.
The time you are giving for free could be spent acquiring extra income somewhere else.
I live for free time Stephanie . Free time is essential for creating the life I want!
#normalizefreetime 💗💗
I always thought free time was the point 😅🤣🤣
I just found this channel and I love it. I am a white woman who lost her job during the pandemic. And I can't wear a mask nor want to be vaxed. I have always had a small business going on here and there, but never had the time to put much into it. Now I have the time, just need to be able to connect with others. I know one thing, we are all in this together.
Im a black (straight) man but I'm feeling everything you're saying. Keep telling the truth!
I love this bc you went straight to the point.Dont apply for jobs🤦🏽♀️We are sitting on our own business but a lot of us have no help...I need accountability bc I sew and bake and I love what I do.
I think it’s for each person to decide if they want to run a business. I was running my business for over 15 years. A retail company offered me $90,000 to work from home and I took the contract. Along with running my business and doing real estate photography. It honestly helped me slow down and gave me a much needed break from it all. If someone with a entrepreneur spirit wants to work with you that’s a plus. Running a business is not for the weak. Lol
You have a point. I have my own business and I feel like i need a job as well because I feel like my business isn't doing well. I only made one sell so far and then can't afford new material to make my products. I have been trying to figure out what to do about my business. I think you just answered my prayers. You are so on point.
We’ve got this! ✊🏽
FIRST OFF YOU ARE GORGEOUS! Second, this video literally found me. I did not go looking for it. God is great!
So I quick my job 2 weeks ago, I know I have a talent doing hair. I went to Cosmotology school years ago and still have my license but not doing hair full time. I came across your video today, sis you are speaking straight to me right now, I’m so emotional because I’ve held back my blessings too long. Thanks so much. I’ve subscribe because your blessing me, I pray God continues to use you🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’ve attended cosmetology school too, and haven’t done it full time for a while. Thanks for the idea!❤
I have to say, I listened to the first 2 minutes of this vid and had to stop and say you are a walking- talking Genesis 12:2- Blessed to be a blessing! Each time you come on this platform you have encouraged but also say it a 1000 times in many ways, GO, DO, ACT, it’s all doable! I am thankful for your wisdom, honesty and most of all your laid back attitude especially when you say, “I ain’t working a 9-5 anymore” ”! I cracked up! 🤣 but most of all your wisdom has resonated in my spirit on many many levels. One day I’ll let you know…how. God bless (even tho’ He already is!!!!). Thank you!!!!!
Keep me posted Eartha! And thank you so much for your kind words. 💗
Thank you for refreshing my Spirit and thoughts today! Gen 12:2 ~ "Lech lecha" (Hebrew) "Go Forth" and when G-d said "You shall be a Blessing" it was also a command that all we're doing and Being in our unfolding journey is a Blessing in the world! And that Blessing ain't confined to any 9-5! :) So Thank you for blessing me to remember, and may you continue in radiance and Goodness!
@@StephaniePerry I slowly started a castor oil business, I need more support from my community
"are you waiting for someone else to give you permission? write out your own permission slip"
Thank you!!!!!
I hear you loud and clear Stephanie!!
💗💗
Meeeeeeec Too. I am listening Stephanie👂🏾!
Talk abt divine timing...this video is just what I needed to hear/see. If only I could create a business from my ability to come up with business ideas. My family and I are dreaming of leaving the US, but the idea of not having steady income gives me anxiety. Thanks for this video💚
Same here
Want to leave the UK
You can do anything you desire. I just started reading a book named “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy. A good read that’ll help with renewing your mindset for every area of your life. Be blessed!
@@Jassywazzy1 🙏🏾 & the same to you!
Say it louder for the people in the back. I need a sabbatical like yesterday. Thanks Stephanie for all that you are!!!
Thank you for not holding these women back! What a blessing you are to women bound in their minds.
My supervisor decided to hire his friend and place him as my immediate supervisor. He has less education, is less experienced and I beat him out to get the job I resigned from. The government position he was placed in wasn't even advertised. Needless to say, I resigned last Friday. Ready to build my business!
This has been me since my company closed before the pandemic. I start & stop…then job search again only to be passed over for positions I am qualified for & educated in. Thanks for the end of the year push!
This is divine! I just sent my boss an email to let him know that I need to take a few mental health days. [Been hustling hard to maintain my businesses, travel to work and the dumb stress that comes with the commute and the job].
I hit "send" on the email, turned around to my other computer and here you were! I can't stop crying. This hit me upside the head AND soooo timely.
If y'all don't get me signed up for some of this coaching and some challenges! All this black excellence bout to kill me.
When I say I screamed and cackled as soon as I saw the title of this video. In my mind, I literally saw you having this exact reaction 2 days ago! I'm realizing that I truly understand the assignment. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am taking steps day by day.
You do! Keep moving forward. 💗
Yes! Lol TH-cam did send me to you. Nice stumble, as I've been struggling with feeling "stuck" in my office job and professional life. I need to stop doubting myself and get these books written. They're not going to write themselves 😊 I'm an amazing baker (per my customers), but due to my recent Lupus diagnosis I cannot do it anymore. Baking was going to be the vehicle to fulltime fiction writing. Working on Not giving up on myself. I want to write and be free (mentally and in my schedule). Thank you!👌🏽😊🙋🏾♀️
Greetings, I'm a follower of Stephanie as well as taking her challenge. You maybe a great coach for other bakers on your on video's. Just a thought, I'll keep you in my prayers and hold the vision with you of good health and managing sister/teacher Lupus'
Plz do it, my sista have lupus
@@mamalynnetillman681 thank you so much I hadn't even thought of that 🤔 thanks for opening my mind up to the idea...and for the prayers.
Praying for your healing. And that your eyes will be opened to opportunities you never imagined on your life's journey and this healing journey. I stand with G-d in declaring, You Shall Be a Blessing!!
Just a suggestion for the writing: don't forget the option of dictating your work (whether with voice-to-text software, apps, or transcription service). Keep your mind open to thinking outside the box and I'm sure plenty of ideas/solutions for building your business while dealing with chronic illness will reveal themselves. Adjust your crown and move forward,💜
So True. Tried of making others rich.
Thank you for reminding me that I’m allowed to enjoy my free time and that I don’t have to fill it up with busyness.
Yes that's my motto, do as little as possible . Confirmed thanks big sis! Winning!
I hate being busy, I hate rushing around wearing me down to the ground but I’m a mom and I have to keep us more than just bare bottom.
Okay so the Universe was working on this algorithm today! So glad you popped up in my feed. I'm down for the challenge!!
Oh my goodness Stephanie! You have nailed it! Black excellence, permission slips to create and to enjoy life. I need to watch this again and again and then get off the wheel! Thank you!
Beautiful message to all the sistas i wish your channel was around a couple years before my grandma passed I watched her sacrifice everything for my entire family and wish she could’ve embraced your message living out her final days in peace and happiness rather than associate her happiness with ours. You got yourself a new sub🙏🏾
YOU SPOKE DIRECTLY TO ME. I have been applying for jobs all over the place and hearing nothing back. I’ve set my business to the side which was doing great earlier this year. It’s time to get back to what I know
Thanks for this great information. I'm an older woman, and you've opened my awareness towards a new pace.
I'm so glad Sydni. 💗
It is obvious you were sent from
GOD because this was the exact message I needed to hear! I was actually planning to apply for another role in the same industry knowing that I am no longer invested in the industry or the work! I need to focus on my business!
You hair looks great, Stephanie! Kudos to you on your growing business and need to hire!
Thanks so much! 💗
Wow this was for me. I’m a content writer and editor and I’ve finally started growing my business. I have an ongoing client already!
I was "led" here after deciding I want to pursue entrepreneurship, yet going thru so many emotions including confusion, self-doubt & analysis-paralysis. It's mentally exhausting trying to figure out ALL the steps on my own. I'm definitely getting a coach.
Awesome, I needed this encouragement bc I damn sure ain’t interested in a job ♥️
I love when you start breaking down black excellence!
I want to tear it down! 💗
This!!!
There is a thick ceiling on the very little respect we will ever get in these toxic work places.
Stephanie, there aren't even words that could express to you how amazing this video was. Thank you so much. 💕
You're welcome Kamase! Thanks for watching. 💗
Question 3 re "Black Excellence." Whew. That hit hard! I have a brand new perspective. Can't even put it into words. You are deep!
I'm glad I wasn't too harsh Fran. 💗
@@StephaniePerry Thanks...I wish you had defined it, though. I am new to that phrase and I think I understand what is implied but I'm unsure. Awesome information. I'm inspired.
Queen Stephanie, 👸🏾 I dubbed thee the Warrior for Women! Wear your 👑 everywhere, SiStar!🤩🤩🤩
I would love to work for myself. I just need to figure out how to get started. I am currently a substance abuse counselor. I work with the homeless population. I love any job that puts me around people. I also love to do crafts. I knit, crochet, and little jewelry making.
Yessssss maaaa'aaam omg this is such a lit video screw them 58 ppl who push thumb down thumbs down ya life black people need to grow their legacy!! I said it for her cause she's being professional on her page doing her thanggg
I am currently in this boat! God told me to quit my job to plan and prepare! I am totally scared but I am trusting Him!
I'm halfway done with this video. I had to stop and comment that you may have just saved my life. I'd spent most of the morning applying for new full-time and part-time jobs that I don't even wanna work. I want to work for my self. I want to have a TH-cam channel. I want to join your TH-cam challenge. So I said all this to say...I'm going to sign up for a challenge and I'll see you soon. Thanks so much for this video!
Ty I needed this as I prepare to RETIRE in August of 2023!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad I ran into this video. I've been thinking about resigning from one of my jobs since summer. I don't need to do it anymore. I have other skills. I think I'm doing it this week! I'm ready and I'm tired.
Your point is so valid,I have started my decor business. For now it's me alone doing my thing. But the taught of having to employ somebody one day it's a serious taught, why because some people come around steal your ideas and then run off with it like they were the brainchild of your creativity.
Ms. Stephanie your level of maturity and insight is very much valued.
Thank you so much. 💗
soooooooo inspiring!! This was what I needed to finally quit my job and go full force on my upcoming business. thank you :)
You're welcome.💗 Let's goooo!!!
@Utajiri Y yes! But not a super large lump sum also I don’t have kids and I chose to rent a room for 650 a month so my monthly expenses have also been cut down a lot! I planned to stay at my job until the end of the year and save a lot more. But CHILEEEE this video was reassurance I needed considering everything that’s going on with covid19. Life is too short.
@@mightyintellectual8062 650 seems a bit much for a room. I can find an apartment for 650.
@@candyxox in the area I live probably not!! Lol
@@candyxox apartments rent has went up in alot of places so if u can find that 650 apt then Jump on it now
I am a self taught nail teach, on my days off from work I make with 4 clients, on a Saturday $400.00 and 2clients on Sunday 200.00. That's just on my days off from my 9-5 job. I just started nail school, to get my license , so I can work for myself and not make someone else rich.
Congratulations!!!!!
The statement pertaining to "only certain occupations are valued" is ringing so true with me. I know someone who has a small house cleaning service for busy professionals and seniors, who are not ambulatory. She's killing it!!
I think some should also consider investing in already existing businesses if starting one isn’t the right thing for you.
I so appreciate this video! "Black women stop looking for jobs" was all I needed to hear. And yes I am talented with my hands. Love to paint/draw I can do that all day, love to sew but can not the best, love to cook and bake but just for my Familia lol. We are so talented you are so right. We just need to get out the box and Blossom!
Number 4 hit hard...I think I am wanting permission and I don't know why...I will start taking steps to start my coffee and muffin business...I love all aspects of coffee and I am a trained chef and can bake...I can start small by doing it from my home
Right!
@Chai's Room "I give you permission to start your coffee and muffin business!" Ok, there it is. :)
As a trained chef, you have the actual power to change people's lives for the better! And you can take the fear outta change, cuz who's gonna be afraid with tasty and delightful!?! Seriously, never underestimate great nutritional food "cures" and aromatic, tasty, presentation to spark up people's Spirits with joy!
Doctor Minister Chef!! Not just for loaves and fishes . . . Go on an be about your Creator's business!
Also, think about starting a ghost kitchen. You could really do well right now
OMG, I have never watched your channel before today (10/26/21, 4:56 pm CST) and it popped up!!!! Ok AI!!! I just got off the phone with someone who wants me to go back to Corporate and she'd convinced me to go back because "they could really use your skills", her words not mine. You must be a God send, to tell me to believe in my own dream/business vs. helping to build someone else's. I know you don't k now me and I don't know you BUT...God knows ALL THINGS! Bless you and all that you're doing!!!
I stumbled on this video and It blessed my soul. I just took another position and I honestly asked myself, "Why the hell am I doing this to myself? You are running back to the same pattern and position you really are good at, but honestly aren't feeling fulfilled in and really can't stand!" LOL I am going to look for a coach this week. I have to get out this MINDSET...I have to work this day to day - 9 to 5 and get into an Successful - Business mindset. Thank you so for your insight and encouragement. WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!
New Follower Here - You are right. I build websites and when I didn’t have a full time job, and I focused on my business, I was doing ok making money.
Great video! I’m transitioning to freelance work and other projects so I can quit my job. School starts back soon and I already know that with Covid and monkey pox, schools will close a lot and I need to get ahead of it.
You're God send. Thank you for posting this. This is a sign from God. 🙏🏽
Not applying but I think I know someone who has. She is most likely your best candidate. She really doesn’t need a job but she could help you grow your company. Kindred spirit! So Godspeed. I see nothing but mad success for you and my friend. I love this new global entrepreneurial wealth building creating ease for Black women spirit. It’s holy. Sisters are doing it for themselves. Let’s go❤
I know my businesses can make money, they're just not making money right now and i have bills. That's why i want to get a job again.
Stephaine I hope you are feeling better. Today I am Grateful for you and your desire to empower blackwomen in the simplist teams realize their value ... Help me to start House sitting.
I watch her videos and feel an instant liberation! Then I start thinking. Too much! I am an RN and I teach College Comp and Rhetoric- there has to be something I can do…
Cheryl, check out the sessions for ExodUS Summit 2022: Move Abroad Money and see if any of these things speak to you. exodussummit.com
Stephanie, this message is so powerful. One reason I pulled back from my business is because I became very stressed out while trying to grow my business and work my full-time job last year. There were other factors that came into play as well. But now that I have a handle on my new full-time position (teaching), I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. I was truly overwhelmed, but I stepped back a bit to reevaluate my boundaries within my business and life in general!
My main skill is a fiber artist.. I crochet dolls of color. Moving abroad and thoughts when to go with this gift
Yes lady tell it. You are so wise and super beautiful 😍 I checked out of job application marathon. I am a full time TH-camr now teaching spiritualism and an author, cause I had a major breakthrough as an author, coach, and want to teach people how I did it.
Keep up the great work from one creator to another. 😊
What's your TH-cam channel?
I started an online boutique that I want to eventually open a physical boutique soon I stopped pushing my business when I got pregnant and became a little discouraged and have kind of a abandoned my business but my husband has been motivating me to keep going start back and don’t give up so once we move I’m gonna start it again and keep pushing at it! Thanks for this
This is so true. I am working full time and have a special needs son, so the businesses I have on the side, which are viable, I have not been able to focus on! I want to be profitable, but to get to the money, I need to be more focused.
I really appreciate being a part of the ExodUS community. Thank you soooo much to you and Roshida and your moms. Blessings and peace.
Blessing and peace, Collette. We appreciate you too. 💗
How do I join the Exodus group.
Very enlightening and motivating - I felt as if a friend freely gave me enough advice and encouragement to move forward (April 26, 2024 @ 7:50 p.m.).
There's so many things I could say!
This message is soooo timely! Particularly during The Great Resignation!! We are great! We are creative and innovative!!
Stephanie...I am working on starting my biz but I need to pay bills now. It takes 2-3 years to see profit from a new business.
Omg! Thank you beautiful black woman!!!!! We need something just for us so desperately!
I think nervousness is the issue for me but I am getting it going
