My Projects
I’m a firm believer in projects as a great way to build skills while providing value (some call this Project World). The idea of just working for an employer to provide total fulfillment is a thing of the past. I’ve learned to build and leverage skills through projects and encourage you to do the same.
You can always find the latest and greatest information on my projects on this page.
No More Reasonable Doubt
No More reasonable doubt started as a podcast series and has evolved into offering community, content and community to Black Professionals looking to go from invisible to invincible.
$10k on 10/1 (A 24hr social media-thon to raise money for charity: water):
$10k on 10/1 was a unique (it has never been done before for charity: water) project designed to help bring clean water to the people of Orissa, India. I was first inspired after hearing the charity: water story; decided to take action by pulling together a team to get it done. We leveraged Google+ Hangouts to have a 30 minute Q&A session with different notable entrepreneurs starting at Midnight on 10/1/13 and ending at Midnight on 10/2/13. It was all recorded and you can see some of the sessions HERE. 8 weeks after the conception of the idea, we hit our goal of $10,000. Read the write up in Forbes

The Ambassador’s Creed
I like to call this the OS (operating system). The Ambassador’s Creed is the culmination of my success beliefs and what I will use as a guide for different business ventures. It was created after being challenged to share my success formula. I went way back and worked my way from Junior high school to the present day and looked at what has served me in my personal and business life. Be on the look out for the Manifesto, the poster and the coaching program.
The Bow Tie Flow
The bow tie flow is a joint project between Xoelle.com and myself. 20% of the proceeds go to charity: water. It stemmed from the idea of giving back–start where you started. All the bow ties have given new life to clothes I’ve owned (meaning they are all made from clothes or ties that I’ve owned). Move information and pictures can be found at www.TheBowTieFlow.Storenvy.com

It will comprise of the notes we gathered during our reading. You can join us (Here) [group archived as of 3/2017]
