Everything Girls Love
While speaking on her road to success, Scottie shared some important gems for Young Black Women in Media. Here’s what we learned:
“Grinding” doesn’t just include getting the work done. Grinding requires research”.
2. A Mentorship relationship should not be forced. Scottie explained that her Mentor, Ebro, came into her life organically. It is extremely important to be cautious about who is allowed into one’s space. Don’t just approach anyone to be a mentor and don’t be so forthcoming with intimate details about goals and aspirations.
3. The best way to battle self doubt is to not think about it so much. If a great opportunity comes along, just say yes! When a person dwells on their thoughts, they have the ability to psych themselves out of taking chances and conquering their fears. Fear is a very hard thing to face, however, its better to take that leap without thinking sometimes.
4. Being a full time Entrepreneur is extremely difficult. It is best to save up and invest in one’s self before making the transition from working a day job into becoming your own boss.
5. Black Women are the #1 targeted audience because we are the most loyal consumer and customer!
Remember this ladies!
