Man listen… when Muse Noire becomes what we will become, just know I had some help along the way…
Mid figure it out I got the call to say after the extensive application, panel of interviews, and a deep financial review we’d like to offer you a spot in Goldman Sachs 10K Small Business program for cohort 35
To say the least I was overwhelmed before, during and after the call to be honest. When I applied I just knew it was the catalyst I needed. I can’t tell you how I knew, I just did. They were giving me so much information over the phone and I was literally just trying to hold it together. Because I knew! I knew this was the start of an answered prayer.
See I had made a plan for the year and again to say the least it was not working. And once I realized it wasn’t working I considered pulling away from my target demographic of clients and that to be honest made me incredibly sad. Why?
I built this for us. I can’t turn my back on us when the going gets tough! More on that later though!
To my growth advisor 🥹 and powerhouse believer. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for the direction, the push and the silent yet solid presence you possess. You show up consistently on brand for all that you stand for and beyond the business coaching I need you to know that I had my fingers crossed behind my back since orientation hoping we’d get to connect.
The time and energy you poured into me will not go to waste. I feel every bit of responsible for your belief in me. You’re kinda stuck with me and I hope that’s okay.
A lot of you mentioned going through this program through other cities, through different faculty. Respectfully. You can’t convince me that there’s a more qualified group of faculty and advisors than the one in a Dallas.
A literally dream team of expert leaders. Thank you for creating such a healthy eco system for small business founders.
Much like this day, if you ask me I will forever answer the call to speak on behalf of this program.
Naomi: Are you going to college today?
Me: yes
Naomi: can I go with you?
Me: yes
