We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiya Lott and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiya, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I Asked Myself First what is it that Makes me happy? what is it that I REALLY Enjoy doing? I took A look at my life to get the Answer to those questions that I had been seeking for many years now. And What I realize is what I Enjoy doing is motivating people. Giving words of encouragement/Afirmations and Advice.. It’s what I did on a daily. (Unknowingly) lol! Being able to bring a smile to soo many peoples faces is what makes me happy, it warms my heart. It was me it was who I am It is what I REALLY Enjoy doing. Once I understood what my brand was then my next question was, In what creative way can I bring my brand to vision to reach and help many others.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What I am most proud about is that I Finally took the initiative to step out on faith and start my business. For a long time I would procrastinate and make up so many different excuses in my mind as to why I couldn’t do it. I would let fear and doubt creep in which would just lead to more time wasted. I am where I am today In my business because I took time to heal me first. Which took time. It wasn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Having a Healthier mindset will help keep you focus it helps in enhancing your natural creativity it will also help with consistency. I had to heal the way I think. The way I thought was very doubtful of myself. I healed. Then one thing that Always stuck with me was, I used to follow(still do) Sierra gates money monster Academy on Instagram, one thing she would Always Say that stuck with me was “ We All Got The Same 24 hours in a Day its what YOU choose to do with it” For whatever reason that would always replay in my head Anytime I might feel alittle discouraged, Anytime I may have been a little tired from doing so much research, but then there’s another saying that Sierra would say was “ The Hustle Don’t Stop” which keeps me going. I’m saying that to say find things to do are someone you can listen to when you get up in the morning that would Always continue to give you the fuel to push you towards your goals. For me it’s music and Motivational speaking keeps me focus
