The life of a teenage girl is tough. When I was young, I thought my mom knew nothing.
I could bully her because she was a single mom, and I could do what I wanted.
When it came to my oldest, Alexandra before she entered high school,
I told her she was going to hate me at some point.
Later, when we were fighting, she reminded me of what I had said years before and
It was a mistake;
It became self-fulling
Here is the secret I discovered about myself and how I now deal with my kids.
You can’t tell someone to do something.
They have to discover it themselves.
Most importantly, they have to believe they can do it.
When I was reading the book The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, which Alexandra recommended to me 9 months before I left my job to go out on my own.
“Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right” - Henry Ford
Choosing the right words means you can expand your mental boundaries.
If you can control your choice of words, you can bend reality in your favor - Thomas Oppong
So many of us come up with reasons why we can’t do something -
This becomes our reality.
If we believe we can do it - it becomes self-fulfilling.
Henry Ford’s quote opened up my world; all I had to do was believe I could do something,
and it could become a reality.
It is what gave me the confidence to open up my own firm one day.
I’ve been pushing my other daughter, Caroline, to get on TikTok or YouTube and start posting.
I am here to support her, but I was getting her in her way.
She resisted because I was telling her to do something…
then, because of her buddy Slater Nalley,
she got the confidence to finally post her first TikTok
77,000 likes and +300,000 views, +2000 reposts.
She finally believed in herself and learned she could do it.

You have to believe in yourself
and have a little support from a friend or an advisor to get you going on the right direction.
With gratitude, thank you for reading!
