How to Use Clubhouse as a Speaker with Mothyna James-Brightful

4 Storytelling Reminders

2 Things You Need to Become a Paid Speaker

Recycling this tweet from last summer because it’s a good reminder (reminding myself too) 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
.
Today starts #blackhistorymonth 🖤 But black history and culture should be celebrated and observed all year, not just the month of February.
.
Today I’m happy to announce the first ever guest of Business on the Bright Side is my dear friend @theantonioneves. I love Antonio for a lot of reasons, but I was especially appreciative of his dialogue around being a black self-help author. I also can’t wait to have @mothyna on later this month- we discussed how we can pass the mic to more black and brown women for speaking engagements.
.
I’m also changing the link in my bio to have diversity email templates that I created to refer women of color to speaking engagements and also politely challenge your events to have an inclusive lineup. 🎤
.
Check your feet and make sure you’re standing on the right side of history. 🦶

Note 1: discovers the meaning of life
.
Note 2: a new guacamole recipe
.
What’s the last note in your phone? 👇

Today is a great day...
.
Because it is my beautiful sister’s birthday!! 🥳
.
Heather is the person we should all run to in an apocalypse because she’s the most badass person I know (not most badass woman, most badass person).
.
My dearest sister: know that I don’t love you IN SPITE of our differences, I love you BECAUSE of our differences ♥️
.
Also we need y’all to help us settle a 25 year debate. Am I laughing or crying in the last photo?! 😂😭 Please cast your vote 👇

Are you struggling with creating and prioritizing your goals?
.
Check out the latest episode of Business on the Bright Side at the link in my bio 🎧
.
While I'm not a fan of strict goal setting, I think it's important to know what you're working towards ♥️
.
What are you working towards right now? 👇
⁠⠀
Check out this episode at the link in my bio as I share my favorite goal setting tips so you can accomplish what you want in 2021!

What if this week was the inflection point for you?
.
What if you looked back on this week a year from now and said, “that was the week it started working.”
.
My good friend @theantonioneves released his book Stop Living on Autopilot last week and one of my favorite parts of his book is when he says...
.
If you were the main character in your own movie, what would you start doing to turn your life around?
.
The music is picking up 🎶 The stage is yours ♥️
.
Today on Business on the Bright Side I talk about 4 tips to goal setting, link in bio to listen (it’s 11 minutes)! 🎧

Hi 🙋‍♀️ to some new followers!
.
Rather than doing an intro to tell you who I am, let me tell you who I’m not...I'm not the "just be positive" girl. Optimism and toxic positivity are two different things 🙅‍♀️I'm not the self-help author that tells you you're just one step away from a perfect life. There is no arrival- only gradual progress. And there is no “perfect” life 😅I'm not the person with all the answers. Especially math.I'm not the person who's going to be silent about things that matter. Why have a platform if you’re not going to use it?I'm figuring it out along the way, just like you are. But I promise to keep it 100%.With that said 👇👇Keep showing up as yourself. Don't build your platform on the basis of pleasing your followers. Build your platform based on the values that you follow.
.
Who are some people that keep it real that I should follow? 👇

Ok ok I couldn’t resist. 😂

Today is a new day 🇺🇸 #inauguration2021 #bidenharris

Jumping over to the dark side...

Beautifully said by @arielleestoria ♥️

Also please go read her caption (@arielleestoria)
.
It’s not enough to post a quote once a year, we must actually become the change MLK fought so hard to bring. 👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿
.
I’m working on it and I hope you are too.
.
Thanks for this reminder @arielleestoria and the beautiful artwork @zeaink ♥️

Accept it now so it doesn’t rattle you later 💪

👆biggest game changer for me 👆
.
For so long, I thought my goal was to get to zero problems. If I could just solve this LAST piece of the puzzle then I can sip piña colada’s on the beach 🏖
.
Of course, we all know how this story goes. Solving one problem leads to new problems. Also just natural growth and time passes breeds new problems.
.
But PROBLEMS aren’t the problem, it’s our relationship to them.
.
The sooner we realize it’s all a part of the game, the sooner we can start enjoying ourselves.
