The Process! It’s harrowing but each time I start a project or a new idea I have to teach myself to fall in love with the process!

.
The Smart Money Woman Tv series….Coming soon!!! #tsmwseries

‘I’m turning my book into a tv series’
.
I must have said that sentence at least a hundred times since 2018.
.
But the truth is I only half believed it
.
It was as though I had to say the words out loud over and over again and to other people to hold myself accountable, to make sure this goal was reached.
.
Now it’s really happening!!!! And through this journey one belief was reinforced… you need people! I may not have known all the right things to do, I may not have had all the resources to execute the way I wanted but honestly God made it happen… He brought people on this project that were purpose helpers and he removed all the people who were going to hold us back! Watching some of the episodes… I’m just like damn! We really did this!!!
