POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
I MADE THE TOP 20! šŸŽ‰šŸ™ŒšŸ¾ I want to take a moment to thank every person who has voted for me, shared my profile, encouraged someone else to vote, or sent me a message of support throughout this competition. You took time out of your day to show up for me, and I appreciate that more than you know; your support has helped me move forward in an opportunity that means a great deal to me.

I started podcasting in 2018, and since then, I’ve hosted #TalkThatMatters, On The Issue, Hearts Aligned, and now The Founders Table, having conversations with singers, authors, influencers, and entrepreneurs along the way. Each show has given me room to grow, learn how to ask better questions, become a better listener, and understand the responsibility that comes with inviting someone to share their story; reaching the Top 20 gives me a moment to appreciate how far that journey has taken me.

As an entrepreneur, this opportunity means something to me personally because I know the work that goes into building something you believe in and putting yourself out there before you know how people will respond. I’m continuing to build The Business Blueprint while growing as an author and podcast host, and I want the opportunities I pursue to help me grow in ways that also allow me to support others, including new small business owners working to get their own ideas off the ground.

Moving into the Top 20 is a milestone I’m proud of, and now the focus is on continuing to advance in the competition. I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my voice, experiences, and perspective to a larger audience, while continuing to create conversations where people feel comfortable being honest and listeners have something meaningful to take away.

Thank you for helping me get this far and giving me another reason to keep pushing toward what I’m working to build; please continue voting for me and sharing my profile as we move forward! šŸŽ™ļøšŸ”„

I recently bought this suit, but I didn’t buy as a fashion statement, I bought it because it’s close to the same color as the breast cancer awareness ribbon, and that’s something that is near and dear to my heart. The ultimate decision to finally buy the suit and wear it every time I’m at my office in Marlinton, WV is not only to spread awareness on breast cancer, but also because there I’ve had close family members who have battled and fought with breast cancer, while they have won the battle, that fight is something that they will have always have to fight to stay in remission. 

October is breast cancer awareness month, and I plan on wearing this suit every chance that I get to raise awareness on the matter, if you know someone who is dealing with breast cancer or any kind of cancer be there for them, let them know that they are not alone, but also understand that sometimes they may not be in the mood to talk because of their treatments, but make sure you love them unconditionally.

The Business You’re Actually Building has hit the Top 100 in two Amazon categories, It has reached #66 in Marketing for Small Businesses and #89 in Starting a Business, and that tells me this is a conversation business owners are ready to have.

This book gives potential & current business owners a clearer way to understand the decisions shaping their company long before the results of those decisions become obvious. You will learn how to get clear on what your business is truly built to do, who it is meant to serve, what value it creates, and how to position it in a way that supports the direction you want it to go.

You will also learn how to stop treating your services, pricing, messaging, client experience, opportunities, and growth as separate pieces. They are connected, and each one either strengthens the business you are building or pulls it further away from where it needs to go. The book helps you recognize when you are making reactive decisions, evaluate opportunities with more intention, strengthen what is weak internally, and create a foundation that can actually support growth.

The Business You’re Actually Building is for the owner who is tired of doing more without feeling clearer about where the company is headed. The eBook is available for preorder on Amazon for $2.99 before its November 9 release, so get your copy today on Amazon by @deshaunwilliams_

Five Signs Your Business Needs a Stronger Foundation 🧭

A lot of business owners think the answer is to keep adding more, more content, more services, more offers, and more strategies, but a business can only carry what its foundation is built to support. If you are struggling to explain what your business actually does, or you find yourself describing it differently depending on who you are talking to, that is usually a sign that your direction needs to be clearer.

You may also notice that your offers keep changing, clients are coming to you who do not align with what you want to build, and every decision about pricing, services, or client agreements feels like something you have to figure out all over again. Those are not small issues; they are signs that your business needs a stronger structure underneath it.

Growth should feel intentional, even when it challenges you. When more visibility, more inquiries, and more opportunities only create more confusion, it is time to step back and strengthen the foundation before trying to build anything else on top of it.

Your business does not need more noise or more pressure to move faster. It needs clarity, direction, and a structure that supports the business you are actually trying to build.

Save this post if your business has been moving, but still does not feel like it is fully coming together.

Eight years later, I still think about the things people never saw. The depression, the battles I kept to myself, the days when I could be around people and still feel completely alone, and the moments when I was struggling with things I didn’t know how to put into words.

I’m not sharing this because I have depression figured out or because I have some perfect message about surviving it. I share it because I know what it’s like to be in a place where your mind convinces you that nobody could possibly understand what you’re feeling. I know what it’s like to carry pain that doesn’t show on the outside, and I know how easy it can be to believe that you’re completely alone in it.

If you’re struggling with depression right now, I want you to know that you are not the only person who has felt this way. You don’t have to pretend that you’re okay with me, and you don’t have to have the right words to say that you’re struggling. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is let somebody know that you’re not okay and allow them to sit with you in it.

I can’t promise you that everything gets easy, and I won’t tell you that there is some simple answer to depression. What I can tell you is that the moment you’re in does not contain everything that your life can become. I know that because I couldn’t see beyond September 22, 2018 either.

I’m still here, and if you’re struggling right now, I hope you give yourself the chance to be here tomorrow too.

Reflection Friday; it’s not about the success that I’ve achieved, the accolades that I’ve earned, the titles that I’ve held, and currently hold, it’s about giving back the glory and praise to the One who laid out these plans for me before I was ever born, it’s thanking God for allowing always leaving the 99 to find me after I’ve wondered off the path that he designed for me. It’s thanking Him for never breaking his promise of always loving me unconditionally, and without judgment whenever I fall short of his commands, it’s about knowing that He only knows some of the struggles I face when I put on a smile for the world.
