NINA SKY

Praise report!!! After class last night, Brandy really sparked a fire under me to do more. Today, I found a food program sponsor! And received notification that I got a$13, 000 grant from state licensing! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I have learned so much over the last few months, I am so excited!

THERESA HOWARD

NO EXCUSES. I'M GETTING IT DONE! Circumstances come and go. Yet through it ALL ones mind HAS TO BE MADE UP. BEING DETERMINED, DISCIPLINED, COMMITTED, AND CONSISTENT IS WHAT MATTERS! Thanks Brandy! You and your team ROCK!

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾PRAISE REPORT🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾  Brandy Woods & the Oh Happy Day Summit is where it all started... 
Lil ole me, a home-based family childcare provider from Upstate NY joined the Summit & it really shifted my entire mindset!! I mean all kinds of changes but let me tell ya about Grab n Go.... so I learned about this AMAZING opportunity to help fill a financial gap I was experiencing in my business due to COVID by providing meals to families in my community & being reimbursed for it (with a little extra of course for the extra expenses etc) I was able to bring in about $3k a month that I wouldn’t have even thought about until I heard that lil nugget during the Summit.... but also this was a GOLDEN opportunity to market my business during a time when others were crying about “what us gonna dooo 😩😩”! Ya see It Takes a Village Family daycare was out feeding families every day, THREE MEALS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾To make the long story short I just got a call from a family of NINE CHILDREN, yup you heard me NINE CHILDREN 👶🏽 that we have been delivering to and mom wants them to enroll in our program and start TOMORROW!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m over here SCREAMING YALL!!! The Summit & Accelerator has SERIOUSLY been a game changer for me!! That was the FIFTH call since Friday evening for childcare!! GOD IS SOOO AWESOME & FAITHFUL!! Stay encouraged y’all.... ‘tis the season for growth & comma counting 😉🤑💰💰💰🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

DIAMOND MCKENZIE

Boy did I get a spanking with day 2. I learned that I need to meet with my staff more frequently and tools to properly plan one. I learned that I have to set the culture for my team, my attitude is critical. I set the tone for the environment of my Business. Even when they take me there, I have to grace and have team a conversation with myself in the corner. I need to have team players instead of payroll players, no more warm bodies!!! I also need to delegate more instead of working 50 plus hours a week.

Hey boss chicks, since connecting with this amazing group and membership, I had to make CHANGES!!! I've been cut, gave the duck lips, rolled my neck and eyes, did the Bye Felicia, cried, threw a tantrum, kicked, screamed and hollered, etc. But God, wow what a  difference the CHANGE has made. I am NOT where I want to be, BUT I SHOLL AIN'T WHERE I USED TO BE🎯 This a condensed version of my testimony. I am now striving daily in BECOMING 💯 SN: Brandy Woods, is my modern day Harriet Tubman.
