9Stand in Your Power
Never give up. Just at that moment when you're about to give up is when it happens.
—Tonya Lewis Lee, founder of Movita Organics
Clarity on who you are, what you want out of life, and how you choose to spend your time is the key to success and job satisfaction. As intrapreneurs you must be clear on your boundaries and how much of yourself you are willing to give to someone else's company. Are you being celebrated, are you being rewarded, are you being fulfilled? Are you diminishing your power to give it to someone else? As entrepreneurs, do you have the freedom that being your own boss can provide? Are you leveraging your best gifts to grow your business?
In season 3 of Business of the Beat, I had the profound honor of going deep with Tonya Lewis Lee. We agreed that our word for 2023 was em(Power)ment and the notion of standing in your power, specifically as Black women, and the importance of nonnegotiables, collaboration, and giving back to our communities. Tonya credits her partners for enabling her to leverage her gifts to build and grow Movita Organics centered around educating, empowering, and supporting women in their own unique health journeys.
