I used to visit Barnes & Noble one to two nights per week. Dear {NAME}, I used to visit Barnes & Noble one to two nights per week. My husband would get home from work or school and I would hand him a well-fed baby and tell him Iâd be back in two hours for my daughterâs next feeding. Iâd head to Barnes & Noble to sip a chai latte, read a book or write in my journal. Those two hours of mental space I gave myself twice per week was the ultimate self-care. Having regular quality alone time ensured that I could show up as my best for my family and my work. On one of these visits to Barnes & Noble I remember reading a statistic that stayed with me for years and would become the impetus for pivoting into my second business, which you now know as Hello Seven, and the reason I wrote my first book, We Should All Be Millionaires. The statistic stated that 80% of women entrepreneurs never made more than $50,000 in total annual revenue. As soon as I read it, I was instantly angry, sad and dismayed. I felt like that statistic was describing me. I was currently making $60,000 per year with some months where Iâd make $5,000 - $6,000 and other months where Iâd only make $1,000 - $2,000. The feast or famine cycle was stressful. I knew what it felt like to make such a low amount of revenue and still have to pay business expenses before you were able to pay yourself. Even in a city with a relatively low cost of living, $50,000 - $60,000 per year was not enough to live a comfortable middle class life. I wanted more for women and other historically excluded entrepreneurs and I wanted more for myself. I remember driving home from Barnes & Noble that night and vowing to myself that I would not be a statistic. I vowed to make a lot more money in my business and once I figured out how to do it, I would show other historically excluded entrepreneurs how to do it, too. Over the years I encountered many other disappointing statistics about diverse business owners and the success of their companies. On average, Black-owned businesses generate six times less revenue than non-Black-owned businesses. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, on average, the annual revenue reported by business owners of color is only one-third of the annual revenue reported by white business owners. Ainât that about a bitch!? An estimated 41% of Black-owned businesses, 32% of Latinx-owned businesses, and 26% of Asian-owned businesses have closed since the pandemic, as compared to 17% of white-owned businesses. And LGBTQIA+ business owners are less likely to have access to venture capital and angel investment funds than straight business owners, according to a survey conducted by Chicago Booth Review and StartOutâand that disadvantage only widens for non-white and non-male LGBTQIA+ business owners. These statistics are frustrating to read and can be discouraging. But I want you to be encouraged and even more determined after reading these stats. Because you have something that entrepreneurs have never had before: me, your Business Fairy Godmother, and Hello Seven. Together we are going to make these statistics a thing of the past. I am now a seasoned business owner, employer, bestselling author, real estate investor, angel investor and multi-millionaire. And it was entrepreneurship that made it so. Back when I was struggling with another failed launch, another team member who quit and another all nighter for a difficult client who wasnât paying me enough, I wish Iâd had a Black Millionaire Fairy Godmother to swoop into my life and knock some sense into me. I imagine this Business Fairy would say, âBaby Girl, you are making a lot of rookie mistakes. Let me show you what you need to stop doingâand what you need to start doing to win. You can build a million dollar business and it doesnât need to take 25 years to get there. You are making it so much harder than it needs to be. There are moves you can make, right now, to get there a whole lot faster. Get up off the floor and stop crying. Here is the path to follow. Here is how you get from $0 to $1 million. I got you, boo. Now get to work!â Because I donât have a magic wand, my team and I created a program called Six-Figure Side Hustle, built to help you grow your business by $100,000+ in six months, and still have time and space to embrace ease.
