The 7 Steps to turn your passion into a business

Grab a cup of coffee at a cozy cafe and invest in yourself.

I am an aspiring or current entrepreneur that has a flood of ideas swirling around my head, but I am not sure where to focus my time, energy, or money.

Sound familiar?

I have been here too. You know what helped me get focused? A business plan and a business coach that I could sit down with and bounce all my crazy ideas off of.

Being a woman of color #BossLady entrepreneurs is tough, but you do not have to do it all on your own. In this two hour 1 on 1 coaching session I will help you:

• Breath
• Get Grounded
• Celebrate what you are doing well
• Figure out what is not working for you
• Figure out how your spirit really wants to spend its time
• Create an action plan rich in business resources
• Set an affirmation for yourself to keep you rooted

 

This two hour session includes a copy of the Fresh to Def Biz Handbook <3

#PROTIP - This counts as a business expense - meaning you can write it off under professoinal services on your taxes.

I have a passion project I would like to turn into a sustainable business, however, I need help on where to begin...

You are in the right place. I got your back. I am obsessed with making sure women of color entrepreneurs get the support they deserve.

While running around Oakland, California trying to license my business and access local resources, I noticed that there was no one place that summarized how to start a business from scratch. So, I decided to create a guide to help save people time and money trying to find all the answers.

No for real, if I had this guide y’all I would of saved $100.00 #smh

 

The Fresh to Def Biz Handbook offers step by step information on how to:

• Get licensed as a Sole Proprietor in Oakland / Alameda County

• Get licensed as an LLC in California

• The total start up cost for both licensing options

• The best practices on how to start a business from idea to first sale of product or service

I am passionate about using art, technology, and entrepreneurship as tools for social change. I started Fresh to Def Collective in the fall of 2013 at a time when my heart was broken and my sense of self worth was at an all time low. Sitting at my 9-5 I knew I was destined for something greater with a fire in my soul to transform a system that disproportionately placed my family and community into poverty.

I took a chance on myself and decided to start my own social enterprise. It has been one hell of an adventure that I wouldn't change for the world. I am always learning new powerful lessons every day and am excited to share this journey with you <3.
