We had the good fortune of connecting with Official Ria Riahna S. Edwards, MS and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Official Ria, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
The Kiyosaki Principle: “You can create a desired lifestyle solely by living in the E-quadrant.” WRONG!
You can, however, create a comfortable and complacent standard way of living in the E-quadrant. As an employee, for majority classes, we are conditioned to trade time and efforts for money. Employees do help businesses maintain stability and scalability. However, one stream of income will not suffice in any economy. Kiyosaki advocates for B & I quadrants, revenue generating ROI industries.

Conventional advice derives from individuals or professionals who have reached their own status quo or those who don’t want others to champion adversaries. Although I don’t believe everyone should lead, become an entrepreneur, or run a business, I do believe everyone should make decisions that bring peace, joy, and happiness in their life. I believe children should have access to an array of opportunities that will positively impact their life. I believe children should be mentored at a young age by someone who is a good leader and has the capacity to influence them to make the right choices. Children should learn of credit, taxes, budgeting bills, and investing.

Conventional advice gives someone or something else authority over one’s own freedom, liberty, and peace. We are the pilots and captains of our Life. We are free to live how we please.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As a Fractional COO and Online Business Manager I specialize in corporate leaders, small business executives, and their teams to optimize productivity, performance, and profitability to generate 25% growth in revenue. Serving other service providers like coaches, speakers, authors, trainers, consultants, accountants, attorneys, and financial advisors we implement workflows, SOPs, systems, processes and then automate them to reduce the time they spend working IN their business instead of ON their business.

Entrepreneurship is not easy whatsoever. I am excited to share that this journey has been bittersweet. Despite the adversaries, I still continue to build my business and showcase my expertise to the market daily. My background is varied. When creating my Hybrid Done For You and Done With You programs and offers I had to hone in what I can do and what I am willing to do, simply to avoid burnout.

Investing in mindset and marketing coaching I became clearer on my ideal client’s challenges and how to best position my value for them. Being a business owner, CEO, and entrepreneur requires coaches, mentorship, therapists, sacrifices, patience, commitment, discipline, and rest. Yes, all these are required to sustain sanity and longevity, holistically, in business and personally.

Establishing business relationships, nourishing friendships and sisterhoods, and impactful communities is how I maintained my position in business. Success can be met faster when you aren’t doing it by yourself.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
In Fall 2021, I enrolled in a business mentorship program which elevated my business savviness and production. Professionally, taking a leap of faith to invest in my business increased my confidence, brand awareness, marketing and sales skills, and my overall outlook of my business. I received more than mentorship and marketing education. I gained a familial community of genuine care and support from across the globe. I received the specifics, strategies, techniques, and game plan to conquer my marketplace.

In Spring 2022 I endured a traumatic experience that changed the trajectory of my life. Since then, I’ve learned that it’s okay to be vulnerable enough to lean on others and ask for help. Being the “strong” one in the group, yet silent, simply tarnishes personal development. I’ve joined an inner accountability group full of women, various ages, and backgrounds who were instrumental during my healing process. Since then, I’ve gained greater respect for close friends (new and old) and family members who were there when I was too numb to be strong by myself.
