#Repost @browntablebiz • • • • • • Celebrating DeAndrea Byrd – Atlanta, Georgia USA @deandreabyrd as a current Black History maker . She’s straightforward and keeps it real based on her experiences as a coach, author, and motivational speaker. She knows the importance of having a vision, researching it, and preparing to walk it out. Meet DeAndrea Byrd. Her first 4 answers are here and the last 2 are in the comments. . 1. HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR? I knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur from watching my mom make money with her side hustles. She showed me that freedom is for sale. You can be creative and get paid to do it. Straight up. I also have a fascination with queen Cleopatra of the Nile and Madame CJ Walker. I did all my Black History and research papers on these two bossy, powerful women. I would always choose them and to learn more about them as a kid in school. They were both self-made in their own right and I wanted that. 2. MOST PEOPLE NEVER START A BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK OR THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL. WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID TO START? Failing is a part of the process. I have f*ked up and failed sooo many times, like I literally can’t count. You have to just get started because you will fail anyway. Failure is how you learn though. Failure is what takes your business to higher levels. Failure makes your skin tough. 3. WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED? What keeps me motivated are my dreams. I got places and things I have to do before I leave this Earth. Plus, I want to leave my kids a legacy. I also like money and nice things, you feel me. 4. WHAT BOOK(S) ABOUT BUSINESS, OR LIFE IN GENERAL, DO YOU RECOMMEND? . • From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur • Wealth Beyond Wallstreet • 48 Laws of Power • Millionaire Success Habits #sunday #sundayschool #tashacobbs #johngray #stevenfurtick #thepottershouse #relentlesschurch #blackwomenrock #blackcellence #sundayservice #tashacobbs #michaeltodd #joycemeyer #joelosteen #torikelly #sarahjakesroberts #blackgirlmagic #explorepage #atlantanetworking #sadierobertson #therealdaytime #blacktwitter #girlsbuildingempires #mombosssunday (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8o8GnWAdch/?igshid=xhm2z6e1zoid
