To all my fellow broke entrepreneurs with broken laptops:

⠀

I see you.

It’s not easy to try and start building something when you don’t have the same resources as the person next to you... but that doesn’t mean that your ideas aren’t as powerful or as meaningful. My laptop had been broken the ENTIRE time I was in grad school... I’m talkin’ I had to copy and paste every C I wrote and mute my mic during Zoom calls because the C decided to go haywire and make hella clinking noises. 😂

But let me tell you, the research that I did and the articles that I wrote... they were just as good, IF NOT BETTER, than those written from fancy two screen Mac desktops propped up in a vacation house on the Hampton’s shore.

What I realize is: my lack of financial resources has been made up for in GRIT. The same goes for all the people trying to make something happen for themselves that’s seemingly impossible. We have something that others don’t. We have fire within us, fighting to make a change for ourselves and for our families.⠀

I’m here with you.

I am you.

We can do this.

People who start at the bottom and work their way up have the best personalities and are more interesting, anyway. Let’s show them how bright we are from the fire that burns within us. 👊🏼🔥
