The Humble Penny

What a SPECTACULAR weekend of speaking, which ended with meeting Steven Bartlett Β β€ͺ@TheDiaryOfACEO‬ Β  😊

Thank you, Steven, for graciously making time to meet us and learn more about our work. You're an incredible human being of our generation and a huge inspiration ❀️❀️

Although we were blessed to speak on 5 stages in the last 2 days at 'The UK Black Business Show and Week' and the 'Clean and Tidy Home Show' we spent a lot of time learning and taking notes πŸ“


πŸ”ΆοΈ LEARNINGS πŸ”ΆοΈ

The first 4 are from Steven:

1. Everything is about sales. Hire the best people.

2. The law of averages is at play. Don't give up on your first try. Send many emails asking

3. Be good at knowing when to quit. There is power in it

4. You owe it to yourself and the people who raised you to tell people about the value you bring. Self promotion is important

5. Be mission led and think in 10 year cycles - Andy Davis

6. 90% of fundraising is storytelling. Entrepreneurs need to leverage this - Andy Davis

7. Getting constructive feedback is good. It also reduces unconscious biases - Christina Trotter

8. For your career, work on nurturing your internal and external eco-systems. Have a visibility strategy. Find a mentor and sponsor - Erica Nyoni.

9. Getting to the top isn't just about performance. That's 10%. The rest is about how you're perceived or seen. - Leonora D.

10. Be clear on what you want for your career. No one will make it happen for you

11. I learned everything from watching my mum - β€ͺ@MarieKondoTV‬

12. "That's how God works" - Shauna Roper. We met unexpectedly and within 2 minutes she said, "that's how God works". We both understood we were meant to have met

We also absolutely enjoyed going to the Bola Sol show πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ. So special!


πŸ”ΆοΈ GRATITUDE πŸ”ΆοΈ

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Special thanks to the team at UK Black Business Show - Dr. Raphael Sofoluke , Opeyemi Sofoluke , Mel Smith , Magz Boatemaah and others. I cannot thank you all enough for giving us all such an incredible platform and for your tireless hardwork πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Special thanks to Penny Moyses for inviting us to the Clean & Tidy Home Show and giving us the opportunity to speak on the same stage as β€ͺ@MarieKondoTV‬ πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Love to our friends and family who helped us with our difficult childcare schedule ❀️❀️

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Finally, thank God for continued open doors. I've always told Mary that when it's time for us to meet key people on our journey, God will make a way. He certainly did this weekend πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ

Amazing work Ken & Mary πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ I had the privilege to see you guys on stage hosting the Financial Talks on Friday. You guys hosted the show really well and had great key notes to share after every keynote speaker left the stage. All the keynote speakers were great and had great experience & inside to share. I was particularly inspired by Christina Trotter story and the gems Demi Ariyo had to share. Next year, I definitely attend again but for more sessi
