Entrepreneurial Academy Graduating Class of Spring 2021

Knowing that The Chamber & The Greenhouse are willing to support individuals like myself in the entrepreneurial journey is the one thing that has resonated with me while completing the Entrepreneurial Academy. There are two priceless things I will take away from this experience. #1 Manage your team, your accountant, banker, lawyer and anyone else involved in your business and #2 It's Priority Management NOT time management.....delete, delay, delegate, and diminish..

After 25+ years in corporate America I suddenly found myself in Chapter 2 of my life. Realizing that I had somehow managed to juggle a career, raising a now 16 year old son, transitioning a parent across the country, Etc. I had acquired some high level organizational skills. Marrying those skills with my desire to help people I started to explore the world of Professional Organization. While I know it may seem a chore to some people I am hopeful that I can make the process less stressful and that my clients will be left feeling energized by their newly re-imagined space(s).

Entrepreneurial Academy has been instrumental in making our businesses practices more sound. Because of what I learned at EA, The Green Book of Tampa Bay will be that much better of a directory for folks who want to intentionally spend their money at Black-owned businesses and be a part of this community's movement toward equitable economic vitality for all residents. Furthermore, EA has helped me grow in my understanding as a small business owner in my other entrepreneurial pursuits.
