Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Angelic Williams, on air from January 9th

I’ve always struggled with my why. I thought I was destined for one path but it took so many twists and turns that I wonder now if it’s all luck or truly pre-determined to have unfolded this way. I’ve always been a bit of an odd duck. Marching to the beat of my own drum. Through my experiences and loss, I’ve realized that the sound of my drum is for the dreamers that want to make their visions a reality and how to guide them on a path to success.

Angelic (Angie) Williams, creative Swiss Army knife, business consultant, business credit builder, recovering perfectionist, and amateur comedian.

With a diverse background spanning architecture, real estate, and entrepreneurship, she’s built affordable housing, started numerous startups, worked with other startups and small businesses to build their business, exhibited at the Forbes Under 30 conference and was in ESSENCE Magazine. Currently she works to help business owners build their business credit in order to make their dreams a reality without suffocating under personal debt.

She’s most happy when she’s exploring new places, culture or food.

Angelic (pronounced as an-juh-leek) is an author, entrepreneur, startup ecosystem builder and changemaker passionate about elevating BIPOC and queer voices. Her career spans several realms, including startups, writing and architecture.

Startups | Entrepreneurship | Tech

In 2018 she founded, MyUmbrella: an online platform that serves as a creative outlet for LGBTQ+ community members. Unlike other platforms, MyUmbrella invites community members who want to share their stories the opportunity to do so by joining our Writers Cohort. Their published work reminds us that we’re not as alone as we think we may be. Angelic was honored in the May/June 2022 issue of Essence Magazine, spotlighting queer leaders.

Most recently, she was the Senior Program Manager at StartOut, a national nonprofit that supports the LGBTQ+ entrepreneurial community by providing the resources entrepreneurs need to succeed, promoting the successes of our community, and researching the economic impacts of LGBTQ+ discrimination. During her tenure, she oversaw a 200% program and expansion and facilitated hundreds of introductions and exposure opportunities to LGBTQ+ founders in the US and overseas.

Having wrestled with burnout on her own ambitious journey, she harnessed personal experiences and a vast network cultivated within the tech community. The outcome? “Toxic Ambition” – a transformative course engineered to combat burnout. Tailored for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, and students alike, this course delves deep into the reasons behind goal-induced burnout, the silent surrender, and the shadows of depression or anxiety. It’s more than a course – it’s your toolkit for orchestrating a life where ambition thrives in harmony.

Additionally, she was the founding lead of the Black Women Talk Tech San Francisco Chapter and was selected to exhibit at the Forbes Under 30 conference in 2018.

Writing

Angelic’s debut novel, Immersive Love, showcases her prolific and engaging writing style through a queer love story that will make you laugh, cry and keep you guessing until the end.

From 2020 – 2023 she was a founding Advisory Council member for the Cureve Foundation, an organization whose mission is to empower lesbians, queer women, trans people, and non-binary people to share our culture and stories, connect with each other, and raise visibility.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Carla Vaughn, on air from January 9th

The phrase “We are only limited by the things that we allow to limit us” highlights the power of our mindset in overcoming internal barriers like doubts and fears. Our potential for success and productivity is like a key in our pocket, representing our innate abilities and strengths. Realizing and using these strengths may require external guidance or an internal moment of clarity. Such guidance, whether from a mentor or a life experience, helps us find the courage to unlock new opportunities.

Embracing this proactive mindset transforms challenges into stepping stones, essential for personal and professional growth. It’s about seizing opportunities, taking risks, and continually growing. Ultimately, unlocking our full potential often hinges on recognizing our self-imposed limitations and having the encouragement to step beyond them, opening the door to our aspirations.

Accountant, Nonprofit Leader, Speaker & Author

After publishing my book, The Money Source, I dedicated myself full time to bringing my message to conferences around the world. Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, I break through the boundaries that are limiting your team, your attendees, or you, the leader.

I have spent over 20 years building my accounting business, Business & Financial Management Services, have managed my non-profit Financial Literacy First, have received numerous awards and accolades for speaking and business acumen. As a multi-degreed professional, my passion is small businesses. I resonate with the both the joys and struggles, I’ve been through it and now want to share what I’ve learned with others who can benefit.

My favorite audiences to speak for are small business owners, networking groups, chambers of commerce, association meetings, and conferences with a majority of small business owners.

Newest book The Money Source helps you to focus on the things that matter most. We look at working to change your self-talk and your mindset. Be intentional on what you want in life and make it happen.

24-02. Hello 24 Be Kind to Us

January 8, 2024January 8, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 9th

Well here we are, 2024, so far it has been filled with a nasty RSV virus which went through the whole family, but that is not going to hold me back, I have things to accomplish in 2024.

It was not a great start to a new year; the RSV virus rapid, my nose blocked, my chest coughing, I was tired, etc., but I have things to do, so virus, you have had your day, and it is time for me to get going.

I published my own book last year, just an e-book for now, paperback and audio coming. I have had a really nice feedback on it, and that is a nice feeling. Now time for the next book Our Forgotten Children series. I have a Authors summit to do this week, create all their authors page, and finalize the book to go to the publisher. If all goes well and no more delays, the book will be out by the end of February.

I am in two more anthology books, coming out soon, plus starting the Ask the Authors platform. So there is no time for sickness, but production. Although I know, that if I do not allow for healing, it will prolong the illness and slow me down even more.

So when we get these rude interruptions, how do we manage them? First, allow the first 24 hours of illness or chaos to reveal its self, then access what the best action is.

Step one: If ill, rest, water, sleep. If you are sick, you are not good to anyone, so look after yourself. I know it is hard when you have obligations, but delegate, postpone, and allow yourself through the?first 48 hours at least to get over the hump.

Step Two: If it is a delay, interruption or flat out crisis in your business, do not react until you have taken a breath, walked away to recalibrate, and calmed down so you can access the issue without panic. You can not think straight while in a crisis mode, so go do what you need to do so you an come back calm and clear and then you will see a solution to the problem.

Step Three: Delegate; passing something on that you cannot deal with now is ok. If there is no one to pass on to, then postpone; if people need help understanding, do you want them as clients anyway? Do not compromise yourself to please someone else.

Step Four: If it can’t be done today, there is always tomorrow. I know this all too well. Things pile up even though you thought you had paced them well, haha; a traffic jam is now on your plate, and you feel panicked about it. Could you put off what is not urgent and address what needs to be addressed right now? Then, with the next item, you will get it all done without panic and with more clarity.

These are my new year tips. it is where I am right now. A head full of cold, but projects to deal with. So I do what I can bit by bit, and allow my self to rest, recoup and renew my energy to get fully back in the game.

It is ok to say NO, To Postpone, To delegate, to redirect. If you push yourself too hard, you will accomplish nothing.

So happy New Year to everyone, may 2024 be kind to us and may we fulfill the dreams we have for this year with some ease.

OUR POSCAST GENRE’S

BB24-01 .Judy Wilkins-Smith and Money Talk

January 1, 2024January 4, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Judy Wilkins-Smith, on air from January 2nd

Judy Wilkins-Smith – World-renowned Systemic Work and Constellations Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns (Sounds True) offers guidance for disentangling your inherited family patterns so you can transform your relationship with money.

What comes to mind when you think of money? How do you feel about it? Do you tense up and feel fearful and stressed or do you feel joyful, relaxed, and at ease? Is money the “good guy” in your life or the “villain”? What does money mean to you? What kind of relationship do you really have with money?

Is it possible that we could be dealing with a generational ghost – a family pattern that keeps showing up from the past to haunt us and if so do we have the power to change or stop it?

It turns out Money is not just a commodity – it’s a relationship. And our relationship with money determines how much we can or can’t, will or won’t have. Money affects EVERY single area of our lives—lifestyle, relationships, education, health, opportunity, financial freedom, you name it. When our relationship with money is healthy, it supports us. When it’s not healthy, it seems to turn our whole world upside down.

You may think your relationship with money is based on your individual life experiences but it turns out we don’t just inherit our physical DNA we even inherit our money DNA through our emotional DNA. Neuroscience and epigenetics show there are many kinds of patterns we inherit – deeply unconscious, yet faithfully repeated patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors otherwise known as Emotional DNA. Every aspect of our lives, including our relationship with money, is subject to those inherited patterns.

So, how can you look at money with a fresh perspective and change the patterns that may be preventing you from living your best life? How do you elevate your money mindset and step into a new relationship with money such that money is now your valued friend who will gladly show up for you?!
