Welcome Thrivers! In this episode, Brittany sits down with serial entrepreneur Dr. Felicia Phillips, to talk about building your business while you’re working your 9-5. As founder of Mobile ICON and the Pink Preneur Network, Dr. Phillips has spent over 30 years empowering women entrepreneurs, especially women of color.
In this episode, Dr. Phillips addresses how black women often start businesses out of necessity, not opportunity. Consequently, many plateau due to limited resources and relationships for strategic planning or guidance. Join in on the conversation as she advises her fellow aspiring entrepreneurs on what resources to look for, tips on how to avoid analysis paralysis, and how to assess your risk appetite as a business owner.
Ultimately, Dr. Phillips converses on the inextricable link between profit and purpose. Thriving means happily nurturing family despite professional demands, attaining spiritual alignment, practicing self-awareness, and inspiring others by simply entering rooms. Her wisdom not only equips entrepreneurs but also charges corporations to intentionally support minority-owned ventures.
