We had the good fortune of connecting with Aneesah skinner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aneesah, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
In the words of the wise author and philosopher, John Conway, “Life is a game, and to play it, you must take risks. The key lies in having faith in your capabilities, for without it, you will forever remain within the confines of mediocrity.”

When contemplating risk, it is essential to embrace the notion that stepping outside our comfort zones is the only way to truly grow and achieve greatness. Taking risks necessitates having unwavering faith in our own abilities, acknowledging that we possess the strength and resilience to face any challenge that may arise. While it may seem intimidating at times, the rewards that await us on the other side of fear far surpass the temporary discomfort we may experience.

Personally, as I reflect on my life and career, I recognize the significant role that risk taking has played in shaping my journey. Two years ago, I made the bold decision to become a full-time entrepreneur, fully aware of the uncertainties and obstacles that lay ahead. Scaling up my business has been an arduous task, accompanied by countless trials and tribulations. However, it is through these risks that I have witnessed tremendous growth and accomplishment.

Taking risks has allowed me to break free from the monotonous routine of a conventional life. Each decision to step into the unknown has presented opportunities for learning, self-discovery, and personal development. Even in moments of failure, I have gleaned invaluable lessons that have propelled me forward. Through these experiences, I have gained a deeper understanding of my own capabilities and the extent of my potential.

It is important to acknowledge that risk taking is not a solitary endeavor. Surrounding oneself with a supportive network of mentors, collaborators, and like-minded individuals is crucial in navigating the challenges that come with taking risks. These individuals provide guidance, encouragement, and a sense of community, bolstering our confidence and aiding us in overcoming obstacles.

In conclusion, the game of life beckons us to embrace risk, challenging us to break free from the chains of mediocrity. With unwavering faith in our abilities, we can face the uncertainties that lie ahead, knowing that each risk we take propels us closer to our true potential. So, let us heed the call of the game of life and embark on a journey where taking risks becomes the catalyst for our greatest achievements.

Our journey to where we are today has been a remarkable one.

Starting from scratch, I have built a thriving business with over a dozen clients whom I am proud to work with.

It wasn’t easy, and I faced many challenges along the way. Doubts and fears tried to hold me back, but I overcame them with determination and perseverance. I constantly pushed myself to learn and adapt, staying ahead of industry trends and finding innovative solutions to help my clients succeed.

Throughout this journey, I have learned invaluable lessons. One of the most important lessons is the power of believing in oneself and taking calculated risks. It’s crucial to step out of your comfort zone and embrace new opportunities. I have also learned the importance of building strong relationships with clients, understanding their unique needs, and delivering exceptional results that exceed their expectations.

I am excited about the future of Media Ink and scaling up our company. With every new client we work with, we are driven to make a meaningful difference in their journey to success. Together, we can achieve greatness and build a thriving business community.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I personally love Ponce City Market: A lively marketplace housed in a historic building, offering a mix of trendy shops, delicious eateries, and even a rooftop.

I would take a friend there anytime it’s great vibes . We would absolutely have to go to Buckhead! We’ll have a fun night out, hopping between upscale bars and maybe even hitting the dance floor.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the book “Game of Life and How to Play It” because it has truly touched my soul. This incredible book has been my guiding light, showing me the way to self-discovery and personal growth. Its wisdom and teachings have become my compass, urging me to step out of my comfort zone and take risks in life with unwavering determination.

I can’t help but get a little teary-eyed when I think about my amazing husband and our adorable 2-year-old. They are my rocks, my cheerleaders, and the reason why I keep pushing myself. Their love and support fill my heart with joy and give me the strength to chase my dreams fearlessly.

And let’s not forget my incredible parents, who have been there for me through thick and thin. Their unwavering belief in my abilities and their constant encouragement have given me the confidence to face any challenge that comes my way. I owe them everything for nurturing my growth and shaping me into the person I am today.

I also want to give a big shoutout to my clients, who have put their trust in me and supported my entrepreneurial journey. Your faith in my skills and dedication means the world to me. It’s because of you that I can keep doing what I love and continue taking risks to grow and improve.

To all of you, my gratitude knows no bounds. You’ve touched my life in ways I can’t even put into words. You’ve shown me what it means to be loved, supported, and believed in. I am forever grateful for your presence in my life, and I promise to keep striving for greatness with you by my side.
