The realness of being in the season you're in and not apologizing for your feelings

Tiffany Richardson

Family

We are The Richardson's and they are my everything!

So do you see these 3 strapping fellas? Well these are my guys, they are my family! Some of you may seen them on Instagramor even the little one ( Marcus) or my IG stories but I thought it was important that I introduce them to you. Here we go...the tall guy lol well that's my husband Tony, we've been married for 3 years in October....whew time sure does fly when you're having fun. I can't believe we met when I was 21 years old. He's been an amazing supporter in my entrepreneurial journey, I honestly don't think I could have ask God to bring me a better partner.

Then there is Christian...he's much taller than me now in this picture he was just almost a little taller than I was. He's now 5"4 and in 8th grade...you guys we literally just took these pictures last year on Mother's day! He's in honors classes and is an amazing son, he loves his little brother so much. He has a heart of gold, old soul, and gives really good advice.

Then there were 4.....

Marcus! Who is the baby and who everybody sees on my instagram dancing all the time. He's the sweetest little boy you could ever meet! He gives the best hugs and wakes up every single morning happy with a big smile saying, "Good Morning Mama", oh how I miss those day! If you received my newsletter, then you already know that this year just about a month ago I decided to go back to work after being home with Marcus for about a year. This honestly has been one of the hardest things I think I've ever had to do but it just taught me to be humble and hustle even harder, which is what i'm going to talk about today!

Get on the list!

Finding your Inner Girl Boss

Definition: A Girl Boss is someone who is a natural hustler and is determined to make her dreams come true NO MATTER WHAT!

If your reading this than more than likely you're an entrepreneur, whether you're a wedding planner, photographer, or a pastry chef. The point is we all want to win and that is our end our right? The truth is that no one tells you that this industry isn't exactly quite for the faint of heart! I've been in this industry for about 4 years and been a business owner for almost 3 and I still have tough days...really tough days. But you see my friend those days are only preparing you for your destiny because "What is for you... is for you", I want you to always remember that!

So today i'm going to give you tips to not only hustle harder but to also be humble in your current season! Are you ready...let go!

Keepin' it real

  1. FAMILY: Remember, that your family is your support system and no matter what they will always be there BUT you must remember that they were here first.-HUMBLE
  2. FIND YOUR PEACE: What makes you happy, what makes you sad, what makes you smile, and what upsets you? If you remember these things and put each one of these in perspective you will find your inner peace.-HUMBLE
  3. SUCCESS: Stay true to yourself and your vision! Social media is a whole different beast that we won't get into but let me just say seeing people living their best lives on Instagram while you're at home in yoga pants and a t-shirt working tireless hours is not the move. SN: These people on Instagramdo the same thing it's just that today they had something to do. *SPOILER ALERT* Don't beat yourself up trying to be like him or her, just be yourself and if no one has told you...that's good enough...you're good enough! Keep hustling the way you know how!
  4. SELF-CARE: Ahhhhh...good ole self-care! Something we never do for ourselves...we just serve, serve, serve but who will we be able to serve if we don't take care of ourselves...right? Figure out what it is that you enjoy doing like reading a book, going for long walks, or even if it's just to do simply nothing and DO IT! Give yourself time off even if it's only for an hour once a week. Our mind, bodies, and souls need breaks too or we breakdown. I know, I know....you don't have time for that right? You have to make time because coming form a #mompreneur's perspective...if you don't take of yourselves how will you ever be able to serve your clients and be your best you for them?

To be honest no one person has it all together. However, the difference between you and them is you're going to hustle your but off until you can't hustle anymore but you're also going to stay humble and that's the key to become a successful girl boss! Remember to stay true to yourself and to stay grounded in your season!
