The real work is giving forward: investing in people's education and their careers before they've earned a name for themselves….often without your name ever being publicly attached.

Success comes in all forms and crosses all lines. On Ask JBH, the conversation turns to founders, thinkers, and friends, and to what it actually takes to build something real. The lessons tend to apply, no matter where you're starting from. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

I don't have to like all the people I work with. I do have to like the way they work and the outcomes they deliver. But we don't need to hang out together.

With offices across the globe, I never walk into one as a foreign entity.  We are all one united team, with many places to perform from!

Success has more than one root; it’s not only about being different. It’s about the people pulling for you and the people pulling against you; knowing exactly who to join forces with and who to pray away, always when it matters most!

Communication is not merely talking and listening. It's hearing, seeing, and being invested and connected, too.

Some of our most efficient workers sit on a beach with an iPad, and they deliver back to the organization far more dynamically with sand in their toes than they do with socks on their feet.

October is National Women's Small Business Month. 15.7 million. 40.6% of every business in this country. 12.6 million people employed. Ownership was the first step. Faith and discipline were second. Scale came far along the stair . What's the next chapter you're building?

Most people walk into a negotiation afraid of the word no. They soften the questions, skip the uncomfortable ones, and sign hoping the relationship sorts out the rest. Forty-seven years in business have made one thing plain: fear is costing them the relationship itself.

The Uneasy No

The word no is not what ends a relationship. The unwillingness to hear it early is what does.

It started with a brain, a phone, a phone book and FAITH. No funding, no formula, only work. Forty-seven countries later, being called the first Black woman to own a billion-dollar company still stops me for a second every time I hear it.

Membership as an honorary soror in Delta Sigma Theta came to me a little over a year ago, and the women, the work, and the welcome have moved me in ways I could never have anticipated. To be received by women who care so deeply about humanity is something I value with gratitude.

The mentor who never knew they were one

There are people whose ideas and decisions we are helping to shape without ever having shaken their hands.

Playing it safe feels responsible. It rarely is. The businesses that stay small aren’t the ones that took too many risks. They’re the ones that took too few. What’s the informed risk you’ve been putting off?

Some of the best lessons don’t come with a clear answer. They come from people willing to sit in the question a little longer. This Ask JBH conversation with Elle Lanning is full of moments like that, three of them are in the carousel above. Link in bio.

The reference check that nobody runs is the one on ourselves. Understanding how people see us gauges how far we can go. Earn the right to ask someone to vouch for you. Know first what your own record says, because they'll check it anyway.
