Update 14- Last Day of my 30 day goal Experiment

this experiment really showed me the importance of setting short term goals. We all have those long term goals we desire to meet but the truth is we can’t just complete those big goal in just a few days, we have to set smaller goal for ourselves so we can take  the proper steps needed to meet that larger goal. I will continue my 30 day experiment goal and when I’m finished I will set a new short term goal for my business so I can continue developing it. One day I will open my own salon and ill understand that it was because of my short term goals that allowed me to get there. I truly see myself using short term goal setting in all aspects of my life

I'm Gonna Make Thing Happen!!!!!

Update 13- Encouragement from Richard Pryor's Daughter

Yesterday I attended a screening of Rain Pryor's new documentary movie “That Daughter's Crazy". Rain Pryor is the daughter of famous comedian, Richard Pryor and throughout her movie she discussed what is was like growing up as a black and Jewish girl. After her screening she talk to the audience more about her life growing up and issues she faces while trying to create a name for herself. in one incident, her talk about the struggle of having a big curl afro growing up and how her had to learn to except herself even though people told her otherwise. 

The words she said really stuck to me because so many years have African American hair has been looked down upon. being and African American myself, people have told me over and over that I shouldn’t focus my attention to much on learning to do African American hair because "you can’t really make a career out of that", but I know the truth and I know the importance of teaching other like me that they can embrace their fros and be proud about the hair they were blessed with. I know I grew up in a predominately white community with little to no black hair salons but I want to make a change. I have already started and I hope to continue.

Update 12- Website time!!!

I HAVE FINALLY GOT TO MY WEBSITE STARTED!!!

So if you read update #10 I mentioned how after I finished my card my main concern was that I couldn’t get the URL I wanted. Well after a lot of searching and account making on various wed design site, I found one. I use Webs.com and when I typed Hairstylesbybre.web.com in as my URL is said AVAILABLE 

(HAPPIEST DAY ON MY LIFE)

So far I’ve gotten a few of my style information on a tab and I have a few photos. Sadly I’m not done, but I feel like I’ve got a good start especially knowing that I got the URL I wanted.

I’m not sure if I will finish my website by the end of my 30 days but I definitely know I will continue working on it so I can keep developing my business. 

Update 11- Wonderful News

You're looking at KU's Newest Multicultural Business Scholar!! — feeling blessed.

 I know this was not a part of my goal but I wasn’t able to work on anything today because of the MBS meeting I had to attend. Being an entrepreneur is something I am very proud of so when I got accepted I really began reminiscing on how far I’ve come on my path to establish my own business. As I reminisced I was very glad that I choose the goal that I did because it helping me improve my business. For month I have been talking about making a card and creating a website and not I’m really getting things done.

Update 10- The Final Results

Over all, I am very pleased with my card. I think this will be a big benefit for me when it comes to getting my information out to people quickly.

Now that I’ve made the card my biggest concern is making sure I get the website URL I put on the card. I actually have already tried StylesByBre.com but the name is already takes so I typed this one on the card for now. Hopefully is available

Update 9 - I picked a design

 In total I went through about 15 different designs and I like this one the best I might make a few more changes my focus tomorrow is to work on the back of the card

Update 8- Children Hairstyle (part 2)

I did another little girl's hair today. 

I think letting the children pick their cornrow styles make the process of getting their hair some much better. their reaction when i come in  is so precious and it make me a their hairstylist very happy. Especially when they tell me that love when i do their hair.
