Never give up on my goal, working and pushing, and I'm not going to stop till it's gold.

I know I think and grow.

Hello, I think and grow chick world.

How is everybody?

Anyway, I was doing some journaling this morning and it really inspired today's topic.

Honestly, my journaling sessions inspire most topics, but as you can imagine, I journal a lot about my business to process things and to just kind of figure out which direction I'm going in next and what's going on.

And so I've been thinking a lot about the direction of

thinking grow chick and just really reinforcing what thinking grow chick is about. What is my

actual mission? And just a side note, I think it's important for anybody who has not just a business,

but a nonprofit, a movement, a mission, anybody who's creating anything and you're putting it out

into the world, every time it gets to a new level, it's really important that you take some

time and make sure that you're reminding yourself, why is it that you are doing this?

Because it can be very easy to kind of get sucked into the flow of what everybody else

is doing. And so, I mean, when I first got started with Thinking Girl Chick back in 2009, I literally started it because there were no personal development

resources for millennial women, for that targeted African American women, for women like me just

in general, online. And all of the stuff that I was reading on my personal development journey

was like Stephen Covey and Brian Tracy and like those are the only resources and so I just you know

started blogging about this because nobody else was talking about it all the the blogs and

the websites at the time that were focused on my demographic were focused on like beauty

fashion natural hair you know all of that and so

you know I will raise my hand and say that I was a pioneer at least in in this

genre and so you know now fast forward 2017 you know almost a decade later
