I recently had an opportunity to speak with a young lady whom I'm looking to partner with on a joint business venture. Her story is incredible, having known extreme poverty and difficulty, and today be recognized as one the brightest voices in the business community. What she shared was.....important.
Too few are willing to lift the veneer and be real. Be willing to chronicle the climb. Either out of fear of what others may speak or say. Even so called mentors can be oxymoronic as they scream "be bold, faith it till you make it, act the way you want to feel, until you feel the way you want to act." And then when you do, they systemically want to bring you down to the size that fits their tiny little "comfortable" concept of you.
However, doing so, chronicling the climb, emboldens others to do the same. It inspires those within your reach. It inspired me to finally launch a personal project I've been working on. Thank you Dr. N. F.
