Welcome to Strike the Billboard!

Good morning Strikers and Happy Sunday, Today I wanted to touch basis on the topic of failure.  I feel like there is such a dark stigma on failure and we have learned to view it and a very negative perspective.  For myself, I’ve failed so many times in my life. I’ve had a combination of small and big failures. All handled differently, sometimes the overwhelming feeling felt crippling and other times it was short lived and I started again.  What I’m trying to say is, embrace your failures and use them as momentum to learn from your mistakes and overcome or correct those mistakes next time. You live and you learn. If it didn’t workout this time it doesn’t mean, it’s over, it doesn’t mean give up.  Think of it this way, you want to lose weight and forming the habit of going to the gym and trying to build a routine was going well but then you allowed your mind to tell you that there has been no progress and you fall off. First of all, you have to realize that progress is...

 Hello hello Strikers, It's been a very long time since I've blogged. A LOT has happened since my last post. For example, WE"RE IN A PANDEMIC.  I'm sure a lot of us were not expecting that at all and it most definitely showed some of the world's inner demons thru hate, and so on.

(shocker)  Oh, I decided to sign up for a bodybuilding competition a few weeks before everything shut down especially gyms. My Thought process was simple. I'm not happy with where I'm at in my health and fitness journey. This is the time to work on me and used the competition as a big incentive because ya girl had to pay for that! One thing I've learned in the marketing business is if you pay for it, you do it or it becomes more important to you. It's mainly because in the back of your head all you hear is CHA-CHIIIIIIING! Or so I do at least. Oh, I'm going through a break-...

Hey Strikers! As a few of you know if you've read all of my posts, I was mainly focusing on a business that I started about a year and a half ago with my significant other, Michael. We were on this mission or journey of becoming financially stable and overcoming the paycheck to paycheck struggle. We were in our early 20's struggling to pay rent, buy a decent car, had jobs that made us realize how replaceable we were and had just gone through 2 miscarriages. We learned about social media marketing and how to start the business. we learned and failed so many times, moved from Texas to South Carolina and established ourselves pretty well. It's been a very interesting journey so far, we've grown as a couple, our mentality has flourished and entrepreneurship has definitely put us through the wringer for sure. I believe that we have learned a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a team, learned to start and run a business but the biggest lesson of all was that th...
