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

Hi Tracy, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
The most important lesson that my business has taught me is that the dream is free but the hustle is sold separately. Many people have business ideas but that idea has to be driven by passion, consistency, and hard work. There will be long hours, no cheers or fame while you are building your business. You must maintain the mindset that even if no one cheers for me, I have to keep pushing. Support may not come from the people who you know. Strangers may pour into your business and be your biggest supporters. While you are on this journey, celebrate the small accomplishments because those small accomplishments will frame the big picture. You already have everything in you that you need to succeed, go make it happen!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the owner and lead planner for TBJ Weddings and Events. We offer full wedding and event planning services. We have won several awards for our wedding planning services and have over 100 positive client reviews online. My journey has definitely been paved with passion, consistency, and hard work. I want the world to know that the time will be never be perfect for you to start your business. Just take the leap and make it happen. You have been given everything you need to succeed.
