Tells You What You Need to Hear

Nia goes above and beyond to make sure you understand what you need to know to make your business REAL in your mind and publicly, even while you are still working a full-time job. So many people who are interested in entrepreneurship sit on their ideas or those that are dabbling in entrepreneurship aren’t fully committed so therefore they aren’t seeing the transformation. Thank God for Nia, who is here to show you the way!

The Ongoing Support & Convos You Never Knew You Needed

Entrepreneurship is such a scary leap that people often associate with isolation. It feels lonely at the top right? It doesn’t have to! To have thee incredible wisdom, insights, and lived experience of Nia is absolutely the support you never knew you needed. I am approaching one year as a full time entrepreneur and I know I still have so much to learn. It’s such a breath of fresh air to have someone willing to be transparent about their journey and ultimately help you to move out of the space of “you-driven” to “God-driven”. I look forward to connecting, listening, and learning from such a phenomenal Boss. 💕
