HBW 116: The #1 Belief Holding You Back From Getting What You Want

What would be possible if you could truly unclutter your life?What if you could get rid of all the extra stuff laying around your house that causes you stress every time you look at it? What if you could unclutter your email inbox, getting rid of all those spam and subscription emails you never even look at? And what about your mental and emotional bandwidth - what if you could completely declutter yourself in that way? This episode reveals Rosetta’s approach to uncluttering your life through 4 very specific rituals. If you apply what she has to share, you will be a new woman! Clutter is a psychological weight on you even if you don’t realize it. The human brain is meant to work in an orderly fashion - whether that’s in creative ways or more systematic ways - order is needed to keep stress at bay. When you have excess clutter lying around your home or office your mind tends to think about those things subconsciously, then your emotions get in on the act and begin to compile layers of stress that those things are not being tended to. In time, you’ll be a stressed out woman and not know why. Today’s episode gives you some tips for how you can unclutter your life and keep the stress monster away! Do you have relational clutter that you need to jettison? Most of us do. It’s the resentment, bitterness, or unforgiveness that we’ve allowed to linger in our hearts, that we are afraid to deal with. But sometimes it’s not those things - it’s the continued interaction with people who are tearing us down rather than building us up. In either case, the end result is that you are emotionally burdened and unable to be your best self. On this episode, Rosetta walks you through some of the reasons you need to declutter your relationships and tells you how you can do it. Is inbox zero REALLY possible? If your business or lifestyle requires you to use email to any degree you know the hassle it is to deal with junk mail, unwanted subscriptions, and the clutter of an inbox that is out of control. But you don’t have to stay that way. If you take Rosetta’s advice (shared on this episode) you’ll get control of your inbox in no time and find that this kind of decluttering actually provides you more creative energy and emotional strength to pursue things that really matter. Did you know you can unclutter your mind as much as you can your home? Most of us carry around baggage in the form of limiting beliefs or wrong assumptions about life, people, and the world we live in. It’s just a fact of how we are wired. But you can take control of the trash that clutters your mind and intentionally direct your thoughts toward things that are true, right, and good - things that will fuel your life rather than limit it. On this episode, Rosetta walks you through some steps you can take to uncluttter your life by decluttering your mind. It’s amazing what happens when you have your head on straight!   Outline of this great episode  [0:30] Rosetta’s welcome to this episode - and she’s going solo!

HBW076: Unclutter Your Life With These 4 Rituals

Kimberly Dunlap

If you’ve ever wondered how to develop confidence in yourself this podcast episode was recorded just for you. It features Kimberly Dunlap, one of the Happy Black Woman inner circle who has been wowing people with her insights into personal confidence, inner healing, empowerment, and a whole lot more. On this episode, Rosetta talks with Kimberly about the things that have led her to the point in life where she feels free of her own inner turmoil and empowered to help other women reach the same levels of satisfaction and confidence - and beyond! Do you realize the power of your own story? Most of us see our story as a path riddled with liabilities, hurts, and disappointments. We find it hard to believe that the things we’ve experienced can be of help to others. And while your path may be fraught with those kinds of experiences it’s nevertheless true that what you’ve experienced equips you to be an asset to others who have not yet overcome those same things in their own lives. This episode of the podcast features Kimberly Dunlap, a woman with her own past and share of pain, but she’s leveraging those experiences to use her story for the benefit of others. If you need inner healing, a newfound confidence in yourself, or a sense of greater purpose then you need to hear Kimberly’s story! To begin building confidence it's vital that you learn to quiet the inner noise. In this conversation on The Happy Black Woman podcast, Rosetta asked her guest, Kimberly Dunlap, what the first step is in moving toward inner healing and the building of personal confidence. Kimberly said that the very first thing every woman needs to do is learn how to quiet the inner noise that distracts and condemns. You know what she's talking about, don't you? It’s those nagging voices from the past that tell you that you are no good, not enough, or a failure. Silencing those noises enables you to begin hearing the truth about yourself so that you can start moving past the limitations those negative beliefs have impressed upon you. Find out more about how to find confidence and inner healing, on this episode. Do you struggle to trust yourself? Every person on the planet is riddled with a past full of missteps, mistakes, and wrong calls. That kind of track record could cause anyone to begin doubting themselves, to find it hard to trust that they are even capable of making the right call when important decisions arise. If you struggle with those things, you’re not alone. Kimberly Dunlap was plagued with the same kinds of insecurity and doubt until she determined that she was going to overcome. On this episode you’ll hear Kimberly’s story and find out how the insights she’s learned on her own journey to self-confidence can help you learn to trust yourself again and move toward greater things. How to know if you’re living out a charade that’s not authentic. You’ve seen people on TV and internet videos who seem to have it all together, but there’s something wrong in the way they come across, something that doesn’t seem real or authentic. None of us want to be that kind of person but we can easily fall into the trap of putting on a facade for others to see. We do it to feel better about ourselves and to hide our insecurities. How do you know if you’re living out that kind of charade? There’s one clear sign. You don’t have joy. Kimberly Dunlap shares how a lack of joy is the main tip-off to an inauthentic life, on this episode of Happy Black Woman with Rosetta Thurman.

Happy Black Woman was the result. If you are tired of the struggle and ready to become the kind of woman who gets everything she wants, you’ve got to hear this episode. It could change your life. Your freedom as a black woman starts by killing fear and committing to getting what you want. There are so many reasons we don’t start moving in the direction of our dreams, but all of them are tied to some kind of fear. That’s why the first thing you need to do is kill fear. It’s never going to serve you and only tells you lies. Killing fear means you silence the voices of doubt and insecurity that have held you back for so long. It means you get yourself away from the naysayers and doubters who are prone to discourage you and amplify your fears. Listen to this episode to find out more about how you can kill fear and commit to what you want. When you have a purpose you don’t have time for foolishness. It’s vital to get clear on your purpose, the reason you were put on the planet.

HBW100: 4 Steps To Becoming The Kind of Woman Who Gets Everything She Wants

Aisha Moore

You know how to take care of you. You just don’t do it. Right? There are so many reasons why - responsibilities, kids, business, family - there’s no end to the things that demand a piece of your time, a piece of you. It can easily feel like there’s no time left over to take care of yourself, but if you don’t figure it out you know that you’re going to crash eventually. Today’s guest is Rosetta’s friend, Aisha Moore an expert in self-care who teaches busy women like you how to care for themselves first so they can ensure that they have the energy to serve others at home and in their business. What Aisha has to share today could save your life, both figuratively and literally, so be sure you listen. What IS self-care and why is it important? When you think of self-care, what comes to mind? Is it a nice manicure or pedicure? Is it time alone, reading a book or enjoying your favorite drink? Those things definitely qualify as self-care but the concept and practice entail so much more than just those acts. Aisha Moore has learned the importance of self-care the hard way, experiencing her own health issues that pushed her to make some clear changes to the way she was living. Her story serves as both an example and an inspiration to women all over the world and you are sure to learn something as you listen to her tell about the transformation that the practice of self-care has had in her life. Your self-care needs to match what’s going on in your life. It’s impossible to take care of you by doing the exact things that other people do to take care of themselves. Each person is different and requires different things for the nurturing of their own soul. But there’s also the issue of what’s going on in your life. As the seasons of life come and go you will find that you need different self-care habits than you did before. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares how this phenomenon happens and how you can learn to be flexible and wise in the way you take care of yourself, so be sure you take the time to listen. You need to practice self-care every day to be your optimal self. Self-care is not something you should allow to be a hit and miss thing. You are not invulnerable. You are not free of the normal human weaknesses that we all fall prey to from time to time. But you can prevent much of the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties that threaten you by practicing self-care every day. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares a handful of ideas of how you can build self-care disciplines into your life on a daily basis. You’ll learn some fresh ideas for taking care of yourself that Aisha has seen help many others. You have to make some hard decisions to make self-care a priority.

You know how to take care of you. You just don’t do it. Right? There are so many reasons why - responsibilities, kids, business, family - there’s no end to the things that demand a piece of your time, a piece of you. It can easily feel like there’s no time left over to take care of yourself, but if you don’t figure it out you know that you’re going to crash eventually. Today’s guest is Rosetta’s friend, Aisha Moore an expert in self-care who teaches busy women like you how to care for themselves first so they can ensure that they have the energy to serve others at home and in their business. What Aisha has to share today could save your life, both figuratively and literally, so be sure you listen. What IS self-care and why is it important? When you think of self-care, what comes to mind? Is it a nice manicure or pedicure? Is it time alone, reading a book or enjoying your favorite drink? Those things definitely qualify as self-care but the concept and practice entail so much more than just those acts. Aisha Moore has learned the importance of self-care the hard way, experiencing her own health issues that pushed her to make some clear changes to the way she was living. Her story serves as both an example and an inspiration to women all over the world and you are sure to learn something as you listen to her tell about the transformation that the practice of self-care has had in her life. Your self-care needs to match what’s going on in your life. It’s impossible to take care of you by doing the exact things that other people do to take care of themselves. Each person is different and requires different things for the nurturing of their own soul. But there’s also the issue of what’s going on in your life. As the seasons of life come and go you will find that you need different self-care habits than you did before. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares how this phenomenon happens and how you can learn to be flexible and wise in the way you take care of yourself, so be sure you take the time to listen. You need to practice self-care every day to be your optimal self. Self-care is not something you should allow to be a hit and miss thing. You are not invulnerable. You are not free of the normal human weaknesses that we all fall prey to from time to time. But you can prevent much of the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties that threaten you by practicing self-care every day. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares a handful of ideas of how you can build self-care disciplines into your life on a daily basis. You’ll learn some fresh ideas for taking care of yourself that Aisha has seen help many others. You have to make some hard decisions to make self-care a priority. If you know you need to take care of you in order to be healthy you probably also know that you are going to have to make some tough decisions to ensure that it happens.

Kendra Kay

If someone were to tell you that you need to get your mind right, you may take offense. But what if they are right? What if there is something in the way you think about your life and the success that is possible that is limiting you from achieving what you’re made to do? Kendra Kay Woods has learned from her own experience that her personal mindset is one of the biggest things that has limited her from reaching the level of success that she’s destined to reach.

HBW072: Abiola Abrams, Self Love Revolutionary

On this episode of Happy Black Woman, Rosetta addresses the topic of creating your ideal life by stopping self-sabotage. It’s often hard to achieve one’s goals because it’s easier to default to destructive thought patterns. By following Rosetta’s three methods of stopping self-sabotage, you can move towards the life of your dreams and overcome the barriers that have been in your way. Be sure to listen to discover her insights! Self-sabotage manifests in many ways One of the biggest barriers to your ideal life arrives in the form of procrastination. Rosetta explains that after a while, procrastination can begin to feel normal and acceptable. It can even take on the form of perfectionism - focusing on “perfect timing” in lieu of taking action is a form of procrastination. It can also arise because of a fear of the unknown. Be sure to listen to the full episode to discover how Rosetta overcomes procrastination in pursuit of her ideal life goals. Method #1 - Make a decision! Even people who are passionate about pursuing their ideal life can fall victim to not making decisions - which leads to never taking action. Rosetta explains that “maybe” turns into “never” but that making decisions allows you to move forward in your life. If you make a decision in your life there’s no reason why it will not happen unless you prevent it from happening. This form of self-sabotage prevents you from committing and stands in the way of living ideally. Catch the full episode for more information about making proactive decisions in your life. Method #2 - Stop asking the wrong people for advice Your friends, family members, and coworkers are all known constants. Sadly, many of them have never taken a major risk in their lives. Rosetta explains why you should not turn to these people for advice on your personal or professional life because they “validate the fear you have, which is a form of self-sabotage.” They will give you the permission to quit, doubt, and procrastinate, all of which are going against your plans for an optimal life. Rosetta explains the concept of protecting your goals from the people who care about you most in this stellar episode of Happy Black Woman. Method #3 - Don’t settle for less than what you deserve and desire Perhaps the greatest concept to take away from this episode is to never settle for what you don’t desire, want, and deserve. Life decisions are not always easy but you cannot allow subpar “opportunities” to get in the way of something that you actually want. Rosetta encourages her listeners to never allow things they don’t want to take up space in their life. She wants her listeners to understand that settling allows for complacency, which never leads to ultimate goal achievement.

On this episode of Happy Black Woman, Rosetta addresses the topic of creating your ideal life by stopping self-sabotage. It’s often hard to achieve one’s goals because it’s easier to default to destructive thought patterns. By following Rosetta’s three methods of stopping self-sabotage, you can move towards the life of your dreams and overcome the barriers that have been in your way. Be sure to listen to discover her insights! Self-sabotage manifests in many ways One of the biggest barriers to your ideal life arrives in the form of procrastination. Rosetta explains that after a while, procrastination can begin to feel normal and acceptable. It can even take on the form of perfectionism - focusing on “perfect timing” in lieu of taking action is a form of procrastination. It can also arise because of a fear of the unknown. Be sure to listen to the full episode to discover how Rosetta overcomes procrastination in pursuit of her ideal life goals. Method #1 - Make a decision! Even people who are passionate about pursuing their ideal life can fall victim to not making decisions - which leads to never taking action. Rosetta explains that “maybe” turns into “never” but that making decisions allows you to move forward in your life.

Heidi Harris

You may be like the people Heidi Harris was meeting. They had heard of the Law of Attraction but didn’t know anything about it. It was through a number of conversations like this that Heidi came to believe that she should make it her business (literally) to make sure that everyone in her circles and beyond knew what the Law of Attraction is and how to put it to work in her life. The rest is history. On this episode, Rosetta chats with Heidi about how she has traveled her journey and what it is she helps her clients do to amplify their lives. Be sure you take the time to listen. A story of hardship turned to new perspective and life change. As is the case with many entrepreneurs who make a dent in the world, Heidi Harris is a woman who has come to the place of success she is at via a very hard road. Personal losses and tragedies set the stage for her mind and spirit to be receptive to the things she needed to learn about herself and the way life works. On this episode of The Happy Black Woman podcast, you’ll get to hear Heidi’s story from her own lips and be inspired that nothing is too difficult for you to overcome so that you can make a better life for yourself. Gratitude is the first step to building the life you want. Nobody who gives a gift appreciates it if the person who receives the gift never expresses gratitude. That’s because gratitude is the natural response to receiving good things. But for some reason when it comes to the blessings of life that happen daily we tend not to be as grateful as we should. Instead, pessimism, complaint, and worry consume us. When you can learn to step out of your difficulties long enough to find what you can be grateful for in the situation, everything changes. Join Rosetta on this episode as her guest, Heidi Harris explains how the power of gratitude can serve you as the 1st step to a better life. You have to make a commitment and diligently work toward your goals. How many times have you heard somebody say, “I wish I had _______.” It seems like you hear something like that every day. It’s fine to express a desire that you have to see something in your life be different. But it will never change unless you take steps to make it come about, and that begins with commitment. On this episode, Heidi Harris explains the significance of making a commitment to yourself and how that commitment can be leveraged to bring about the things you want in your life. You won’t want to miss this one. What are the wrong beliefs that are holding you back? Many people allow the path they’ve walked in life so far to dictate the direction and outcome of the path they walk in the future. It happens because they make assumptions about the future based on their past experiences, but the reality is that the past has nothing to do with the future except that it has prepared you to avoid the same mistakes and build something better. On this episode, you’ll hear a great deal of encouragement about how you can change the course of your life forever by changing the way you think. Be sure you listen. Outline of this great episode  [0:30] Rosetta’s introduction to this episode and her thanks to YOU for listening! [1:06] Heidi Harris, today’s guest. [2:12] Heidi’s mission: The Law of Attraction is Real. [3:18] Why this mission is so powerful for Heidi and drives her in business. [5:48] The process Heidi went through to transform her own life. [8:20] The moment of awakening and the resources that helped Heidi the most. [12:46] The most important step anyone can take to get started with the law of attraction. [15:10] The daily structures Heidi uses to keep herself aligned with her purpose. [18:23] The moments Heidi has experienced that have brought amazement. [21:53] Additional books Heidi recommends.

HBW089: Teri Johnson, How A Travel Lifestyle Is Possible For Anyone

I'm back from an amazing weekend in Atlanta where I hosted my 5th and final Launch Your Business LIVE Boot Camp! After years of working with hundreds of Black women entrepreneurs, I've noticed how important it is for us to have open and honest conversations about self-care, boundaries and putting ourselves first. At the event, I was able to coach several women on how to let go of situations that no longer served them, which inspired this episode. I explore 3 areas where you may need to "spring clean" your life, including action steps you can take in your relationships, business/career and environment.

HBW 114: 3 Ways to Spring Clean Your Life

There are plenty of mentors and coaches out there who will give you their take on what it means to change your life. But very few of them have the clear way of articulating it that Rosetta’s guest on this episode of Happy Black Woman, Debrena Jackson Gandy, has. Debrena is a prolific author whose writing and teaching come from her own experience. She’s walked the journey she leads others on and has carefully observed and learned as she’s taken that journey. This conversation is powerfully intriguing and will give you the push you need to begin the steps toward transformation inside that will result in the changes you want to see on the outside. Your external world cannot be in order if your internal world is a mess. Many of us look at the things going on in our world and feel out of control. We want things to change. We want things to be wildly different than what we see, but we don’t know how to start the ball rolling in that direction. Our guest on this episode of Happy Black Woman is Debrena Jackson Gandy, a relationship coach, author, speaker, and so much more - and she insists that your external world cannot be ordered, peaceful, and strong if your inner world is a mess. On this episode, she reveals the things that keep us from addressing what’s going on inside us and gives practical advice on how you can begin a journey of personal transformation. As a woman, you are a gift. As Debrena Jackson Gandy was walking her own path toward personal healing and transformation she went through a season where her marriage was falling on very hard times. She believed that her relationship with her husband was inevitably heading toward divorce - though it wasn’t what she wanted. At one point, when she reached her lowest moment she screamed at God, “What do you want me to do!?” She wasn’t really asking a question but she heard the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit say to her in reply, “Thank you for finally asking.” That was the point when she began to walk through the creation account in Genesis and discovered a wonderful truth: As a woman, she is a gift. You can learn the powerful difference that truth makes by listening to this episode. Marriage is a divine design that requires divine guidance. Every marriage has its hard times. It’s a given, simply because marriages are made up of two needy people who are each in need of growth. What Debrena Jackson Gandy discovered is that the relationship is not only about each person getting their needs met. And it’s not only about two people coming together to work as partners in life. She discovered that marriage is a divine design, created by God to accomplish extraordinary things. Without the divine guidance of God, it’s an uphill battle. You can learn how Debrena learned to receive the guidance God has to offer and how it changed her marriage, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. There are things you need to experience before you’re ready for the right man. Many women - and black women in particular - move into relationships with men out of a desire to fill an emptiness in their own souls. They feel insecure, so they seek a strong man to help them feel secure. They feel alone, so they seek a man to be their comfort or partner. They feel unlovable so they find themselves enjoying the attention of a man even if it’s only sexual in nature. Debrena Jackson Gandy has learned that no woman is ready for a relationship with a man until she has first established some foundational truths in her own life, in her own being that enable her to be valued and treated well within the relationships she enjoys. On this episode, you’ll hear how personal transformation and the steps leading to it are prerequisites to a healthy and happy relationship.

HBW086: Monokia Nance: Brand Development Strategies to Grow Your Business

Zara Green

Healthy romantic relationships seem to be in short supply these days. That’s because they don’t just happen, they are hard work just like anything else in life that is worth having. Rosetta’s guest on this episode is Zara Green, relationship expert and coach who helps her clients understand what’s going on inside that is holding them back when it comes to romance and a fulfilling life. Zara has powerful life-changing concepts to share on this episode so please, please don’t miss this one. The basis of great relationships is H.E.R (Honor, Esteem, and Respect) When Zara Green is asked what it takes to have a healthy romantic relationship she immediately refers to an acronym - H.E.R - which stands for Honor, Esteem, and Respect. It’s not about spark or chemistry. Those can and will dissipate over time, so why are they the things we look to when it comes to our initial curiosity about a possible relationship? Zara says you need to clearly know what it means to be honored, esteemed, and respected as a woman and insist on it in how you are treated. That’s when you’re strong enough to give those things in return and when you’re ready to build a healthy relationship based on those values. You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you expect. Much of what Zara Green does with her clients is uncover the foundation their lives are built on. They have long conversations, with Zara asking many questions, prodding and poking at many sore spots, with the goal of finding the underlying beliefs that hold people back from pursuing everything they desire. She typically discovers that the expectations people have about life are what they wind up getting - and when those expectations can be challenged and then changed, everything in life changes. Find out more on this episode of Happy Black Woman. Your personal life does not stand on the basis of your professional life. When Rosetta asked her guest, Zara Green for 3 pieces of advice to women who are seeking to become healthy themselves in order to be ready for a healthy romantic relationship, she said the very first thing a woman needs to understand is that her personal life does not stand or fall on the basis of her professional life. In fact, it’s the other way around. Raging success in business will never fix problems or wrong beliefs in your personal life. You’ve got to build your person, your character to be very strong in spite of the setbacks and difficulties of business - and you’ll find a fringe benefit - your business will be stronger as a result. Enjoying your company is enough. A man who insists on more is not the man you want. There are so many missteps that happen when it comes to romance, and women, being those who instinctively give and serve other people, are prone to make many of them. Zara Green says that no woman should ever give too much before she really knows a man, and that takes time. She says that you need to understand from the start that the privilege of being in your company should be enough for any man - so if a man pressures you for more than that, he isn’t honoring your value as a woman enough and you can leave him behind as you pursue a quality man who does. Zara draws a pretty straight line on this episode, and it’s one that is guided by wisdom, so make sure you listen. Outline of this great episode  [0:29] Rosetta’s introduction of Zara D. Green, her expert guest on healthy relationships. [4:00] How Zara became co-founder of The Grown Zone. [10:50] The unusual way Zara and her husband connected via Twitter and then real life.

Rosetta’s guest on this episode is Zara Green, relationship expert and coach who helps her clients understand what’s going on inside that is holding them back when it comes to romance and a fulfilling life. Zara has powerful life-changing concepts to share on this episode so please, please don’t miss this one. The basis of great relationships is H.E.R (Honor, Esteem, and Respect) When Zara Green is asked what it takes to have a healthy romantic relationship she immediately refers to an acronym - H.E.R - which stands for Honor, Esteem, and Respect. It’s not about spark or chemistry. Those can and will dissipate over time, so why are they the things we look to when it comes to our initial curiosity about a possible relationship? Zara says you need to clearly know what it means to be honored, esteemed, and respected as a woman and insist on it in how you are treated. That’s when you’re strong enough to give those things in return and when you’re ready to build a healthy relationship based on those values. You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you expect. Much of what Zara Green does with her clients is uncover the foundation their lives are built on. They have long conversations, with Zara asking many questions, prodding and poking at many sore spots, with the goal of finding the underlying beliefs that hold people back from pursuing everything they desire. She typically discovers that the expectations people have about life are what they wind up getting - and when those expectations can be challenged and then changed, everything in life changes. Find out more on this episode of Happy Black Woman. Your personal life does not stand on the basis of your professional life. When Rosetta asked her guest, Zara Green for 3 pieces of advice to women who are seeking to become healthy themselves in order to be ready for a healthy romantic relationship, she said the very first thing a woman needs to understand is that her personal life does not stand or fall on the basis of her professional life. In fact, it’s the other way around. Raging success in business will never fix problems or wrong beliefs in your personal life. You’ve got to build your person, your character to be very strong in spite of the setbacks and difficulties of business - and you’ll find a fringe benefit - your business will be stronger as a result. Enjoying your company is enough. A man who insists on more is not the man you want. There are so many missteps that happen when it comes to romance, and women, being those who instinctively give and serve other people, are prone to make many of them. Zara Green says that no woman should ever give too much before she really knows a man, and that takes time. She says that you need to understand from the start that the privilege of being in your company should be enough for any man - so if a man pressures you for more than that, he isn’t honoring your value as a woman enough and you can leave him behind as you pursue a quality man who does. Zara draws a pretty straight line on this episode, and it’s one that is guided by wisdom, so make sure you listen. Outline of this great episode <ul> <li>[0:29] Rosetta’s introduction of Zara D.

HBW094: Zara Green, Healthy Romantic Relationships And The Power of Knowing Your Value

Do you really want to launch your business in 2017? It’s a serious question. It’s time to stop putting things off because of fear or doubt or the negative voices around you and make the commitment to build the business you know deep in your heart you can create. Rosetta is hosting an event in New Orleans soon called, “Build Your Business LIVE,” and it’s designed for women like you who are ready to stop making excuses and build a business. But to give you a taste of the event just in case you can’t attend, Rosetta shares her 5 steps to launch your business on this episode of the podcast. These steps come from her personal journey as an entrepreneur and she is confident that if you apply these steps, you’ll build a successful business. Want to know what the 5 steps are? Be sure to listen. Getting focused on launching your business takes intentional effort. When you first think about starting a business of your own it’s likely that you get overwhelmed. There is so much to it, so much to do and figure out and organize. How do you get started in a way that sets you up for success? Rosetta says the very first thing you have to do is get focused. That means determining when you’re going to work on your business, what topic or niche you’re going to build your business around, and much more. On this episode, she walks through this issue of getting focused and gives you tips to get started, so be sure you make the time to hear what she has to teach you. You can’t launch a successful business without knowing who it is for. It’s common for women who are starting a business to think that whatever they create as a product or service is going to be usable by everyone. But it’s simply not true. An offer to everyone is usually an offer to no one. People are looking for specific solutions to their specific problems and needs. You’ve got to decide exactly WHO you will be serving with the amazing content and resources you create. If you don’t, you’ll find your business is going nowhere. Avoid that trap by learning how to discover your niche audience, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. If you don’t show up in online searches, you don’t exist to your ideal clients. If you think for just a moment about how people find the things they need in the modern days we live in, you’ll immediately recognize the importance of the internet. Everybody pulls out their smartphone to search for things the moment they feel a need of any kind. That means that your business has got to have a professional and clear web presence if people are going to take you seriously. If you don’t, they’ll assume you are just a hobbyist and keep looking. Rosetta has some ideas to share about how you can get your website built and rocking so be sure you hear what she has to share on this episode. Success in business only comes when you professionally and consistently market. There are absolutely NO businesses that become successful that never tell others about their products or services. And for most women entrepreneurs, talking about themselves and what they can do to help people is the hardest part. Rosetta recognizes the difficulty it is to put yourself out there and the way it can feel sleezy or dishonest - so she’s going to teach you a different way - a better way. You can hear how she does it on this episode. Outline of this great episode  [0:30] Rosetta’s welcome to you and introduction to this episode.
