Summary

Have you ever heard a story so moving and inspirational that it inspires you to be the best possible version of yourself? If not, you’re about to. Although I originally planned to do a deep dive into community building with my guest, it quickly became so much more than that.

Rosetta Thurman shares her incredible story from humble beginnings to building a successful business that helps thousands of women. Rosetta was raised by a single teen mom and a very involved grandmother. Back then, books opened up a world of possibilities for her that she has manifested in her real life through vision casting, goal setting and a lot of hard work.

Rosetta is an author, speaker, consultant and the Founder and CEO of Happy Black Woman, a global company and community that empowers black women who desire to make a big impact and create their dream lives and businesses. She’s also the host of the Happy Black Woman Podcast and has spoken at over 100 business events around the country.

Tune in to hear Rosetta candidly share her story from living in poverty to building the life she dreamed of when she was a child. I don’t know everything but what I do know for sure is that by the time you finish listening to this podcast episode, you will be inspired. Guaranteed.

We discuss:

Rosetta’s inspirational story from living in poverty to building a successful business
Building your tribe: How to grow and connect a community within your business
How to retain your audience and the importance of investing in yourself

0:00.0	I love when an episode goes a different direction than I planned. I was planning to do a deep dive
0:07.8	on community building with my guest and we did that, but this episode is so much more.
0:14.5	Rosetta Thurman shares her story of growing up with a teen mom and very involved grandmother.
0:20.6	For Rosetta, books opened up a world of
0:23.7	possibilities that she has literally manifested through vision casting, goal setting, and hard work.
0:32.5	I'm so inspired by Rosetta, and I know you will be too.
0:40.2	And hey, thanks for joining me today. Welcome to the BizChicks podcast. I'm your host,
0:45.8	Natalie Eckdal. I'm a business strategist with an MBA and over 20 years of corporate,
0:52.0	nonprofit, and small business experience. I am the CEO of Biz Chicks.
0:58.0	Our business is dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses while retaining

1:22.5	groups and needs, but we can all agree on any activity that has to do with water. So we tend to spend a lot of time
1:30.3	as a family at our neighborhood pool and the beach, which is about 15 miles away. By the way, if you
1:37.1	meet my four-year-old jet, he will insist he is in elementary school instead of preschool.
1:42.9	And at our daughter's choir banquet recently,
1:45.5	our daughter is 17. He was sure he was going to get one of the many trophies waiting to be
1:51.4	handed out on stage and was bummed that he was not eligible. It's tough to be for sometimes.
1:57.9	As you can hear, I have a very full life running a home family and this awesome
2:02.4	business where we coach and mastermind with high performing women. It all works because I have a
2:09.3	team. In fact, I have help at home and in my business. I always encourage women to get as much help
2:16.6	as they can afford.
