Greeting Reader,

I’ve been thinking about something very heavy lately…

And I know it is something we don’t talk enough about.

Every economic downturn leaves a trail of small businesses behind.
But historically, Black businesses are hit the hardest.

Not because we lack talent.
Not because we lack passion.
Not because we aren’t putting in the work.

But because many of us were never taught Business Strategy.

Over the last few decades I've learned...

And it’s the truth.

Most Black entrepreneurs I know are some of the most gifted, creative, resilient people on the planet.
But talent alone doesn’t protect a business when the economy tightens.

Strategy does.

The strategy to:
✔ Leverage the assets you already have
✔ Activate the relationships you’ve overlooked
✔ Form partnerships you never considered
✔ Monetize the opportunities sitting right in front of you
✔ Use creativity + leverage instead of hustle + exhaustion

That’s what determines who survives…
…and who doesn’t.

This is why I’ve been talking about the importance of having a real Game Plan.
​
Not busywork.
Not guesswork.
Not “hope something works” energy.

But a clear, focused, strategic path.
​
Especially for Black entrepreneurs heading into another unpredictable year.

Because even when things seem unfavorable?
​
The right strategy can turn the improbable into the achievable.

More on this tomorrow.

Talk soon,
