 Key Takeaways:

“There was no way I was going to be able to sustain that level of work without taking care of my stubborn without having a better balance. So, the choice was like, am I going to give up my business, or am I going to figure out a way to still maintain the business but have a better balance?   And so, it was through that experience that I learned the importance of self-care.” – Tikoshia Davis

“There's this misconception with entrepreneurship that all you got to do is jump on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and they're all influencers. That's not how it works. But it might work for some people.  What happens when those platforms are gone? You have to know how to build relationships and how to network in person.” – Tikoshia Davis

“People who enjoy teaching, I suggest that they try podcasting.  Be a guest on podcasts. That's a beautiful way to start to get used to talking about what it is that you do.” – Amelia Roberts

“We have to take the time to pour into ourselves, and it's not just about getting rest, but it's also about feeding into ourselves and knowing that I am worth this. I have done this work. I have this much experience. I have this to offer. I am amazing, like building yourself up, affirming yourself. We have to take the time to do that on a daily, if not daily, weekly. At least you know where you remind yourself of who you are, where you feed into yourself. That's self-care too.” – Tikoshia Davis
