What's going on Family, swipe left because WEALTHY looks good on you!! Over the last several weeks, we've been laser focus on expansion. Focusing on these [3] elements 👇🏾

1️⃣ What sets us apart from any other brand development firms?

2️⃣ Are we still impacting woman owned, black owned businesses the same way we have in years past? If not, how can we improve?

3️⃣ Can we expand into a new demographic and market without impacting our current clients?

This focus has been pivotal to our brand partnerships and extensions. Knowing when your vision is starving will be a key indicator that a shift has to take place.

Our favorite part about entrepreneurship is that it requires sweat equity, but have learned that sustainability requires grit, passion, and most importantly, discipline. Entrepreneur, stay encouraged even when your sails are floating in the wind. The success, accolades, and monetary gain WILL come, when you focus on not only the end results but the steps it takes to get you there.
You've got this entrepreneur 💯

What's going on Family! Swipe left, We've got a word for you. These last few weeks have been all about positive transitions, uncomfortable conversations, and vulnerability. Believe it or not, it's giving, shed the old skin, so we can step into the new. During our recent interview with for her Podcast "Running Highs and Community Ties" we spoke about how our environment and routine shaped us over the years. How growing up in one of the most violent cities in America (Philadelphia) pushed us to adapt and experience things, we don't wish on anyone. We spoke about what the next "BIG" thing is and how the most high has been shifting our mind, body and spirit, through a journey of sobriety. (All praises to the most high) ✨️🙏🏾 what really got us thinking the most was when Lindsey Sizemore () asked us 👇🏾

"What have you been working on recently that's been giving you a sense of purpose? It could be professionally or personally fulfilling."

As we reflected deeply, we instantly said "The Youth" and the creation of our newest company Synths & Syrup (). We spoke about how important it is to not only honor Mickey Factz (.factz) and Pendulum Ink (), but we also dove into how our mission is far from fulfilled with supplying resources for Youth Entrepreneurs and creatives. How the gap in funding, can create minimal outlets for the Youth to express themselves creatively. How the lack of recreation centers is a problem we need to solve, and how mental health clinics are sparse. We spoke on what's next for us in that realm, which you'll hear on the Podcast, but most importantly, we focused on being purpose driven vs. money driven in this season of our business.

Entrepreneur, I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but👇🏾

1️⃣ The money won't last forever - have purpose attached to your business

2️⃣ Your dream is bigger than you - the generations to come after you, will see what you did or didn't do with the time you were granted here

3️⃣ Purpose drives purpose - your gifts have to make room for you, when you are purpose driven

Entrepreneur, you've got this. Spread joy, love and light

Top of the top family!! Something we cherish👇🏾

We never judge other people's stories or journeys in life and entrepreneurship. 🤷🏾‍♀️ you have NO idea what someone can be experiencing in their personal life that can directly impact their performance

Over the last week, you wouldn't even be able to wrap your mind around the things we've been experiencing in business & outside of business. Laawdddd I know you made us one of your strongest soldiers but sheesh ease up one second 😩

Listen, we always say that when life gives you lemons, squeeze tf out of those lemons! Meaning, be optimistic whether the plans work out or not.

We truly believe settling leads to delusional behavior. Delusion that you're further than where you are, and given all you've got etc.😒

Entrepreneur/Business owner(s), this quarter will set you up for the rest of the year. Do the following 3 things to prepare 👇🏾

1️⃣ Create a new product that can leverage you for 2025

2️⃣ Set your company up in your local government database as a vendor (we'll talk about this later)

3️⃣ Rebrand - yeah we said it 🥴 especially if your business has run its race. Shake things up!

Nothing about owning a business, following your purpose, or entrepreneurship is easy...like nothing, but what we will remind you is that with a supportive and dependable community, your dreams truly can become your reality.
Stay focused entrepreneur, spread joy, love and light ✨️

What's going on Family? We had a conversation last night with a potential new client and said 👇🏾

"Run that project out until it is out of juice. Do not jump from single to single, Run the best performing single to the moon the same way LaRussel () and Kennedy Ryon (.ryon)"

One thing we believe at our firm is not fixing something that isn't broke 🤷🏾‍♀️ Working with clients in multiple industries this applies to everything. Whether it be a product, a single, a course, or a pitch, there is still someone who hasn't heard, seen, or felt what you are offering.

Having a way to remarket and audit your products and efficiency is super imperative to the success of your brand. If you can not find ways to promote yourself and your service every single day, business ownership/entrepreneurship may not be for you. Disclaimer all promo looks different, be active daily (past social media). Spread love, spread joy, spread light ✨️

What's going on, family?! That mirror work and manifestation hit differently when you're actually putting in the work. All praises to the most high for life, breath, and a clear mindset.

The last 24 hours have been so wild for us personally, and I'm with the shifts of energy all around, it's expected. One thing I'm super grateful for is a team that assists on and off the screen. A team that I can truly call brothers, sisters, ole'heads, but most importantly, family.

Take this time to be still with yourself. Honor the energy you feel and release ✨️ everything is already working out in your favor. Stay focused on being ethical in business, mind body, and spirit.

I'll be dropping a list of grants tomorrow. Stay focused, entrepreneur. Spread joy, love, and light 🤞🏾

What's going on, family!! Residing in , we've found 👇🏾

There is a lot of black wealth in the city, and we're here for it! ✨️🥂

We even learned from WABE () that the city has the country's highest rate of Black-owned businesses. With over 11,00 black millionaires in Atlanta, we're out here to see every black owned business win.

No matter the size, we support businesses that support the community in a positive way, have great customer service, and leave a valuable impression on the customer(s).

Do you believe there is a positive or negative stigma for black owned businesses; even if successful? Let me know on my poll. Spread love, joy and light today. You deserve it just as much as you give it ✨️
