From Employee to Entrepreneur





As a young woman dreaming of a career path I always believed that I could do just about anything, but I was realistic enough to understand that I still needed money in order to make money. I was always a good student. After I left for college I participated in everything that I could, just praying to get some assistance. I was willing to put in the effort for the, free money, a grant, a scholarship...something! I was overwhelmed with fear that my endeavors would not be enough.

The realities of life hit me once I had graduated with little skill and no employment opportunities, no leads and nothing promising coming my way. I became pregnant with my first child less than a year later and although I had help and support things were still extremely stressful and disheartening. Although I earned my Bachelors degree, I now had new issues with school loans and a new baby to care for. Years later, I had more babies and earned my masters degree in Business. I was still searching for that huge company to offer me the "dream job" that I had been envisioning in my mind for so many years. Meanwhile, I attended leadership conferences and speaking engagements, and read all these business books but I could not change my course of thinking enough for me to go out on faith, fire my boss and become the entrepreneur that I know that I am. I had been praying for the strength and the courage to use the talents that I have been blessed with. I continued to pursue a writing career while working with non-profit organizations and by the grace of God, the time has finally come and I have completed a series of children's christian books, we have a logo and have now started working on the new products to actually launch the company that I have prayed to be apart of for so many years. This blessing is a new reality for me and I wanted to share it as a testimony to what God can do. This new company encompasses all the genres of the arts as a fun innovative approach to learning using tools that I have learned to use as a parent and as a student and most importantly as a Christian and a business woman! Create Noise is a niche based company that ranges from book publishing, performing arts, to independent film and the inspirational product line! Please stay tuned as I will be offering free products and several discounts online to promote the new book launch and promote the product line! The entrepreneur mindset is finally setting in! Thank God for hugging me when I needed it and for carrying me even when I thought I could walk alone! 2015 is already starting off great!
