INTERVIEW WITH
SHARAI ROBBIN
Please introduce yourself and brand to our readers: I’m Sharai Robbin and I’m a super nerd. I love all things books and literature related. I’m a Simon and Schuster bestselling author, editor, celebrity ghostwriter and writing coach. I’m also the CEO and founder of Good Ground Literary Services and Boss Bae to an incredible team of Literary Baes, that’s Bad A** Editors. I’ve been in love with writing since I was eight years old and today, I’m blessed to say that my team and I get to help entrepreneurs, business owners and aspiring authors write books that change lives. Writing a book, especially for the first time, can be tough, but with the right help it can be done well. The Baes and I coach our clients on how to position their stories for speaking and teaching opportunities, how to write with impact and how to use their messages to build their brands. Why drives your passion to help others? I love what I do and my passion for helping others comes from the lessons I’ve learned along my own journey. I’ve been in an abusive relationship. I struggled with my weight for most of my life. I’ve battled depression. I dropped out of college. I’m a single mom and I spent years doubting my value and my self worth. My relationship with God and my passion for writing changed my life and now, I get to live a life I love. So, when I see people doubting themselves and second-guessing their greatness, when I see people gripped with fear about taking a leap and stepping into their next level, something in me wants to run up and push them over the edge just so they can feel how amazing it is to spread their wings and fly. I know that if I can overcome all I’ve been through and achieve all that I have, it’s absolutely possible for anyone else to do the same. And at the end of the day, that’s what drives me, knowing that I’ve used my gifts and my passion to make someone else’s life better. Oh, and I also get a kick out of the moment the people I work with realize how truly amazing they are. There’s no stopping them then and I love that part. What 2 pieces of advice would you share with women to help them win in 2020? If you want to win in life, you have to have an intimate relationship with your money. Know what’s coming in and going out of your accounts every single day. You can’t invest in you, you can’t grow your business, you can’t do anything in life if you don’t have money. The problem is, most people make money but don’t know what to do with. Sure, we’d all be a lot further if money management was a required subject in school but it’s not, so learn about money and how to use it on your own if you want to be successful. Learn how it works. Invest more than you spend. Hire an accountant. Spend time with your money and you’ll see the difference immediately. Also, to win in life, you have to stay the course. These entrepreneur streets can get slippery. There are good days and bad days. People will frustrate you and you’ll want to quit. Don’t. Stay the course. Work on becoming more resilient so you don’t throw up your hands and walk away whenever something doesn’t go your way. If you want to be successful in any area of your life, learn how not to quit and stay the course. Trust your passion and keep at it, relentlessly. What is next for you? I’m always looking forward to what’s coming ahead while still enjoying where I am right now. My team and I are reshaping our brand and moving into hosting live events. We’ll be having our first writing retreat soon. On a personal note, I’m also excited to be getting back to my writing roots. As business grows, I’m making sure to carve out more time for my personal writing goals and I will be releasing some new projects this year. How can readers connect with you and support your efforts?

“Doesn't matter your race, color or age your skin deserves what is best.�
Introduce yourself and brand: My name is Alice Ilonga, I'm a Congolese(DRC)-Canadian woman who grew up in Belgium, Germany and moved to Canada where I learned English and started my two businesses. Through those brands, I sell lingerie, swimsuits and makeup. What makes your brand unique? What makes my brands unique are that they focus on authenticity and inclusiveness. What 2 pieces of Entrepreneur advice would you share with readers? 1) Start today because making excuses won't help you start a business and it sure as hell won't help you create the lifestyle you want for yourself. 2) Launch before you feel ready because if you wait until your product or service feels perfect, someone else will already be doing a better job of helping your customers solve their problems. What is next for you? I'm planning to launch a wedding lingerie collection and new-mom collection with my Ilonga Alice brand. For my cosmetic brand, I will be introducing a perfume in collaboration with my two beautiful sisters. How can readers connect with you online and support your business?

Naomi Nucia Glay Naomi Nucia Glay, now Miss International Africa 2019 competed at the 59th Miss International Pageant in Tokyo, Japan. Born in the USA of Liberian heritage, the Atlanta resident previously served as Miss Liberia USA 2018-2019. Currently working as a model, she has been featured on FrontPage Africa, Sheen Magazine, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and many more. She has allowed her personal trauma to help fuel her to become the voice for the voiceless and give hope to the hopeless. She created and produced Power Talk, an annual panel event to advocate for men, women, and children who have been victimized by sexual abuse as she is a survivor of sexual abuse. Power Talk's mission is to give hope and be a voice for the victims of trauma. By sharing resources that offer assistance and stories of those who have overcome similar challenges, Power Talk will create a community of emotional wellness. Glay believes everything a child knows is taught. Planting seeds in children is the best thing we could as a society to have powerful and effective adults. What inspired you to actively pursue your passion? Life has inspired me. My own life experiences and overcoming sexual abuse has been the fuel for me to actively pursue my passion. There are little girls across the world who need to feel like they are able to come forth with what has happened to them. There are adults who need a comfortable setting to begin their healing process. Share a piece of advice you wish you knew before embarking on your path: Stay true to yourself always. Transparency will set you free. Be unapologetically you. Enjoy the moments you have with people. People are in your life for a season, reason, or a lifetime. What is next for you? I plan on sparking the conversation of sexual abuse in a couple of countries before the end of my reign.

INTERVIEW WITH
Dr.Joseph Reid Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: Dr. Reid Teaches is a personal development and empowerment brand dedicated to changing the lives of our clients through extensive personal development and leadership development training programs. In addition, Dr. Reid Teaches produces publications aimed at training readers on self-help best practices and how to reach sustainable success in life. How To Win! A Guide to Sustainable Success is Dr. Reid’s latest book and workbook. How To Win! is an empowerment and motivational self-help book for readers interested in personal development through leadership training specifically designed to foster sustainable success in all areas of life. Throughout the text, readers are introduced to Dr. Reid’s “Three Phases to Sustainable Success: Prospect, Plan and Execute.” In addition, Dr. Reid introduces ten components that help to make up each of the three phases, among them are Faithfulness & Commitment, Education and Self-Sufficiency to name a few. Although a necessary component to each respective phase, the ten components are defined and applied differently within each phase. Understanding and mastering these components will provide readers with effective knowledge of self and can serve as an excellent template to reach sustainable success in all areas of life. Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: “If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.” We all know this to be somewhat true, but an entrepreneur needs to learn to expand this to include the importance of being fluid. If you fail to adjust your plan, then plan to adjust your expectations. Entrepreneurs like all others are subject to bounded rationality. The idea that decisions are limited by the information available, cognitive limitations of the problem solver and the time available to make the decision. Within entrepreneurship, the learning curve is steep and the terrain dynamic and given that the entrepreneur is likely a novice and the set of skills necessary to succeed within this arena unrefined, the rate that new information needs to be interpreted and integrated is quite high. Mastering this skill is key to sustainable success. Do the work upfront! Define balance. Define success. Create an exit strategy. Make sure that all the terms in your plan can be defined and measured so that progress can be tracked and controlled. Many people possess the ambition and fewer the vision, however the truly successful have identified their goal, can track the progress to said goal and have instituted accountability measures that help guide their progress to their goal. What is next for you and your brand? The Winning Minds 12-Week Personal Development Course is the most popular service that we currently offer among our clients and is available for pre-order now at www.drrreidteaches.com.

ELECTRA DAVIS INTERVIEW WITH
My name is Electra Davis. I am the CEO of Mysteek Naturals. I was inspired to to create my temporary chemical-free hair coloring due to the fact that I had spent time dying my hair in the past, only to have to cut it out later. In other instances it fell out over time. But like so many other women I like to express myself, so I came up with a perfect formula to get the color that I wanted, without the damage. This allows me to switch up as much as I would like, and I can continue expressing myself outwardly as I feel inwardly. Also, this is not my first business, it's my second. I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and finally, I came across something that could get me into my dream career. I plan on scaling my business to try to become a multimillion-dollar entity. It is also one of my dreams to create jobs for others. I would love to be able to get to a place in which I teach other people on a regular basis, who are wanting to leave their nine-to-five, how to transition and how to start their own small business in the beauty industry. Connect with Electra on social media! Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube: Mysteek Naturals.
