Is the day that I am launching Scottie Nia Rose Anonymous Love. I've done all the work. Well, I still can't sell anything yet until I get my "Business Occupation Tax Application" aka Business License that I need for the local government, the city/county my business is in but that's the last thing that I need as far as set up and foundational things. I have products on my site and I'm still adding the last few which are really optional, but I want that range to be there early on. So, I'll add some more bottoms, pants, and things and call it so that I have time to be sure everything offered on the site is up to my standards. Then I should place a test order. And finally, when April 19th comes take the password off my site and post my open for business announcement on Twitter (Yes, it's still Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook where people will buy it. And I'll make money. Seems simple right?
But the current barrier to launching my first business is that I need a physical address for my business, and I don't have one. Not one that I can use, and I am willing to use for my business. I only have my mom's address whom I am currently staying with, and I have to move sooner rather than later because that's not an environment I feel comfortable asking for permission for my business. My current job also ends in 3 1/2 months on July 15th, 2024. I don't want to keep changing my paperwork and business address so in all honesty my feelings will be hurt but my pride won't. I can wait until I move into my own home wherever that is. Which is also kind of a barrier because with what money am I moving and where am I going? If I do go where the money (out of state) what does that mean for my business? I haven't figured it out yet, I don't know what's happening truthfully, but I am still keeping my ideal launch date and riding with it until the wheels fall off.
But all in all I have decided to keep the faith that I will successfully launch Scottie Nia Rose Anonymous Love on Friday, April 19th, 2024 because God has put me into position to even leave Memphis, TN and come back to GA so that I can take this business class that is literally coaching me in how to start this business. And I just have to think why would God allow me to do all of this and it doesn't work? So I pray, trust, and believe that he will make it work. Even with 21 Days: 05 Hours: 32 Minutes on the clock. "Thank you God. I am so glad, so grateful, so thankful that I successfully launched Scottie Nia Rose Anonymous Love on Friday, April 19th, 2024."
Why this date? Why is it so important to me to have this date which is why I have to start my business faster than normal I guess? April 19th, 2014 is very personal and sentimental to me because it's the day that the only time I ever shared writing with the world it was "published" on this women's creative, poetic, empowerment website titled "From A Wildflower" by Kimberely Luxe. I was in college I think when I found it on Twitter because I guess a girl I was following at the time was retweeting it and from that day on I just started reading it everyday. This was around 2013 though maybe I had discovered it sooner? But I was reading it every day and the writers were all women, writing about love, and growing up/aging, money, and success, etc. I was in LOVE with this site. It was very on time for what I needed.
So how did I get my writing published on this site and what did I write that I became so enamored with the date April 19th? Stay tuned for more in part 2, this is getting kind of long so To Be Continued...
