The Journey of Starting My Own Business: Inspirations and Support

The Genesis of My Entrepreneurial Dream

Starting my own business was a decision born out of a deep-seated desire to create something meaningful and impactful. The idea took root during my college years, where I was exposed to various entrepreneurial success stories and innovative business models. The initial spark came from a guest lecture by a successful entrepreneur who shared his journey of building a business from scratch. His story resonated with me, igniting a passion that would eventually lead to my own entrepreneurial endeavor.

Influences That Shaped My Path

I would not be where I am if it weren’t for Tricia Hachick from A Witch Awakens (www.awitchawakens.com). She has encouraged me to take this step for years and has always supported me when I was doubting myself. She has been a tremendous support and friend to me for the last several years. Please check out her website listed above and check out her offerings. She is an amazing healer.

Also, Alisandra Moon from Raven Moon Academy (https://ravenmoonacademy.com) has been an amazing mentor, coach, and friend who has helped me with my shadow work, spiritual coach, and business mentor to. She has several amazing programs and if you are interested in learning about how to grow spiritually, shadow work, and learning how to do magick properly she is amazing! She has a wealth of experience and knowledge and puts a lot of time, effort, and care into her students.

I also want to thank my dear friend Ashley Chatlin who created this beautiful website and logo for the business. She is an amazing friend and an amazing artist. She has supported me along this journey in so many ways and I don't know what I would have done without her. I am truly sorry that I forgot to add her initially and I am truly heartbroken that I did. I hope you know how much I appreciate all the hard work and support you have given me along this journey. I love and appreciate you so much Ashley!

The Role of Community and Network

The support from my community and professional network has been instrumental in the success of my business. Joining local business associations and networking groups allowed me to connect with like-minded individuals who provided advice, resources, and opportunities for collaboration. These connections not only expanded my business acumen but also reinforced the importance of community in the entrepreneurial journey.

Lessons Learned and Moving Forward

Reflecting on my journey, I realize that starting a business is not just about financial success; it's about personal growth and contributing to society. The challenges and triumphs have taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of continuous learning. Moving forward, I am committed to giving back to the community that supported me and mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs who are just beginning their journey. I also want to thank my dear friend who has supported me and put this amazing website and logo together Ashley Chatlien. She has been such a tremendous help and a good friend who has always been there for me through so much. I know that I know that I forgot to mention her in the blog in the beginning and for that I am truly sorry. She is amazingly talented and a wonderful artist whom without I would have never been able to get this far. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you Ashley!
