Success Stories
Years ago, when I first began my business journey I was excited and felt unstoppable, but as time passed and life happened, I put it on the back burner where it laid dormant until Makisha founded Sistahpreneurs. After working with Makisha, it felt like a weight was lifted because she helped clarify my goals, define my purpose and re-imagine the potential outcomes.

Every year I set goals that I struggle the remainder of the year to accomplish. Largely because I don't have a clear and realistic plan. This year, I registered for Goal Digger and the few hours we spent together was so amazing! I left feeling not just motivated, but PREPARED!

I’m blessed by the blood sweat and tears poured into us by Sistapreneurs founder Makisha Boothe. I can't express my gratitude for our group coaching space and the amazing women I shared it with. I can't wait for 2019, to tackle the goals I set, the strategy I created toward my vision and the systems I am putting in place to support them.

This past weekend Joslyn Raquel & I were a part of something amazing. We sat/danced/laughed/cried in a room with 16 phenomenal Black women entrepreneurs based in Colorado and built - brick by brick - the foundation of our soon to be multi-million dollar businesses. We empowered one another, strategized like a motha, and got reaaal comfortable with knowing our WHY and our NUMBERS.

I appreciate this Goal God of a woman, Makisha soooo much. I thank you! I’m still kicking and scream over all the homework LOL (p.s. she does not play about homework either. I messed around and didn’t get some of it done and POW it was doubled)

Thank you for being one of the dopest business coaches EVER!!!
