Most of us have experienced challenges in our lives that called for resilience. So, we could rightly think of ourselves as resilient entrepreneurs. Do you ever wonder what it takes to bounce back from life’s toughest moments? Think about it for a moment. When you hear ‘resilient entrepreneur,’ whose story resonates with you? Perhaps it’s the perseverance of Albert Einstein, who, despite initial academic setbacks, revolutionized our understanding of the universe with his theory of relativity.

“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” ~ Nelson Mandela Being resilient isn’t just about hanging in there or enduring; it’s about coming back even stronger after a setback. It’s a lot like farming. A farmer prepares the soil, plants seeds, and waters them. Then he waits patiently for the seeds to grow. Just as this process takes time and attention, so does cultivating resilience. As a small business owner, I can attest to the unexpected challenges, setbacks, and even failures that dot the entrepreneurial path. Maybe you’ve…

Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. ~ UnknownMany people appreciate that being kind is synonymous with showing you care about others.  On the other hand, others sneer at kindness in business and express the belief that if you’re too kind, you only set yourself up for others to take advantage of you. In fact, many people often show more kindness to animals than they do to fellow humans.

“Cockadoodle doo!” the rooster crowed for the third time. She wanted to pull the pillow over her head to shut out the persistent crowing of the rooster but knew it would not be wise.  It was time to get up and start her morning chores. Phil, as the rooster was named by one of her cousins, was her clock.  He first crowed at or around 4 o’clock every morning.  She was usually sound asleep at that time. Then he crowed again at 6:00 am. She knew this was his second round of crowing and that it was around 6:00 am, as she also saw a sliver of morning light beyond the curtains of the bedroom…

It was ingrained in me to be concerned about what people think and avoid offending them. In my story of The Red Dress (below), the opinions of the matrons of our town clearly mattered to my mother.

At 16 years old I was 5’10” and weighed about 145 pounds. Tall, slim, very reserved, as we said in Jamaica, but not shy.  I had no problem speaking with individuals and in front of groups of people of all demographics. I was always considered mature for my age and found many of my peers gigglers and chatterboxes.  One of my closest connections who epitomized what it meant to be an extrovert, told my mother that she did not understand me.  I was too moody. You see, she loved to make friends and talk, while I was content with a few friends and enjoyed sitting by myself reading a book. Pam…

I looked at my cousin, Cynthia, and could see the shock and disbelief in her eyes! The same look was probably reflected in mine. We both wanted to move yet it seemed as if we were glued to the spot. Should we move? Was it over? “What happened?” we seemed to be asking each other with our eyes. We both knew the answer, yet it was if our brains were unable to process it.

Her favorite uncle, her father’s brother, Uncle Stanley, had fought in World War I and had returned home, shell-shocked. As a child, I rea…

Self-care is giving the world the best of you instead of what’s left of you. ~Katie ReedA few years ago I was in a coaches’ training class, which included peer-to-peer coaching. My partner and I were discussing our schedules for the next week and it was my turn. After I went through my schedule, she paused then asked a simple but profound question. “Where on that schedule is your time?” At first, I did not get what she was asking as I’d spent quite a bit of time planning my schedule. She rephrased it by noting that my calendar was full, but nowhere on that calendar had I scheduled…
