I Return to Work And I Don’t Have Time to Spare
As I prepare to return to work next week, one thing is clear I honestly don’t have time to spare.
I’ve been in a season of creative isolation. Not because I had to be, but because I chose to be. I made a decision to focus on building my future, establishing my business, and prioritizing my personal wellness. Growth requires discipline. And discipline requires sacrifice.
I’m excited truly excited to teach others how to build success. But let me be honest: I have no room in my life for nonsense, drama, or tragedy. I sincerely pray for those who lack creativity, ambition, or vision for their future. Because without those things, you’re not living you’re existing.
Maybe it’s my upbringing. Maybe it’s my life experiences. But I’ve found peace in my bubble. A space where I can focus more on me and less on distractions. I’ve learned to be intentional with my energy. I promote, support, and align myself with people I actually know, work with, and trust.
No matter what drama may exist from my past, one thing remains unchanged the people who know and love me still do.
Building Something Real
I’ve officially launched my soft opening phase.
Right now, I’m in the trenches:
Creating menus
Pricing vendors
Budgeting costs
Recruiting staff
This is the part people don’t see.
My grandmother used to say, “If you stay ready, you won’t have to get ready.” And I live by that.
It would be foolish to ask for funding without first counting the cost.
Here’s the reality:
Move-in cost: $7,500
Monthly facility cost: $4,600
(Not including staff or inventory)
This is why planning matters. I’m not chasing success I’m preparing for it. Because failure doesn’t happen overnight… it happens when you fail to prepare.
Once I secure my location, the real work begins cleaning, stocking, training. I’m giving myself 60–90 days to bring everything to life.
And today April 1st I already have a full schedule. Appointments. Moves. Execution.
A Necessary Truth
Forgive me for being blunt, but this needs to be said:
Check the people in your life.
Do they build you up or break you down?
If you don’t like me for who I was when you met me, I am perfectly fine with you excusing yourself from my success. There’s no hard feelings just boundaries.
My kindness has been mistaken for weakness more times than I can count. But understand this:
Meeting me does NOT mean you know me.
Reading my blog only gives you a glimpse.
There’s depth here. There’s purpose here.
What’s Your Assignment?
I know what my assignment is.
What’s yours?
I share pieces of my journey not for applause but to spark something in you. Because watching me build does nothing for you… if all you’re doing is watching.
There are people who talk.
There are people who walk.
But the question is
Can you walk the walk and talk the talk?
