POSTS STORIES REELS

Year 1 as a full time entrepreneur of @VisualTorch ✅

Kicking off Year 2!

Here’s 3 Things I’ve learned my 1st Year of Full Time Entrepreneurship:

1. Invite God Into Your Business And Hold Business Meetings With Him.

God can download more ideas and direction in an instant than the days I spent researching and trying to figure out what directions could to go next. Proverbs 3:6
Shoutout to @mrdarylblack for the idea!

2. Relationships Are Vital To Growing Your Business

You never know where a connection may lead you. I signed with a Payroll Provider a few months in and that led to them recommending my bookkeeper, who regular sends me opportunities to connect with others in my field or target audience.

3. Celebrate The Small Wins Along With The Big Wins

Full time entrepreneurship is a journey! Don’t get so focused on the big goals that you forget the milestones you made along the way

Thanking God for keeping me throughout this 1st year 🙏🏾 Can’t wait to see what’s in store for year 2!
