So You Think You Want To Be A Boss looks like a great book. What
can you tell us about it?
It is a book that helps you to evaluate your
readiness for the transition and align your goals with your passion. It
cultivates a growth mindset that allows you to adapt, learn, and thrive in any
business environment. While also developing effective leadership skills to
inspire and motivate your team. To do this you must harness the power of
effective communication to build strong relationships with clients, partners,
and employees. To thus master time management techniques to maximize
productivity and achieve work-life balance. Resulting in creating a roadmap for
sustainable business growth and financial success.
Any plans
to turn it into a series?
Yes
Can you
tell us a little about experiences?
My experience is unconventional. I actually never wanted to be an entrepreneur. I always thought I would be the CEO of a big company or an executive at one. I tried varies businesses as well as worked countless jobs trying to find my purpose. Which landed me where I am today.
What
section did you have the most fun writing?
The first honestly dealing with mindset. As an
African American woman mindset hasn't always been something I could focus on. I
was raised to stuff down my feelings and work through them. I know that wasn't
intentional just what was taught to me because it was what my parents were
taught. Like I said before, my journey wasn't conventional and know the main
reason for that was because I didn't understand the power of mindset and how it
controls your behaviors and actions. This process of highlighting that point
made me relive some uncomfortable moments but also because I now understand it,
allow me to deal with it in a healthy way.
What
inspired the idea for the book?
Many conversations over the years with clients as
well as my own experience with starting my own businesses.
How did you
come up with the title for the book?
I was having a venting session after a
consultation. I was frustrated at how this particular potential client did all
the wrong things in starting their company and why they were currently in
trouble financially. It was then I had an aha moment that while a lot of people
want to own their own businesses, they lack what's required to be successful at
it. I said to myself, everyone wants to be the boss but lack understanding of
what that looks like. I then wrote a few names down, then asked my team which
ones they liked the best, this one won.
Did
anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing So You Think You Want To Be A Boss?
Absolutely! When I decided on this journey even
though I had a plan, I was shown early on that my plan wasn't a really solid
one. The reason is because life started happening for me fast and i had to make
some really tough decisions that obviously was not part of the plan.
What do you
like to do when not writing?
Believe it or not, I am an avid reader myself.
This really became evident when I embraced technology and allowed the resources
available to make reading easier for me. I also enjoy trying new recipes and
tweaking them to make them my own
