Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamara Mitchell-Davis.
Tamara, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My book #GoalGetter: Strategies for Overcoming Life’s Challenges is my life’s narrative of how I had to push pass adversity. Growing up in a housing project, many children were already labeled as “At Risk” because of poverty, dysfunction, trauma, situations, challenges and the list goes on. As I matured, I realized that I was an “At Risk” child… I was “At Risk” for Success. I mentally and emotionally equipped myself with tools in which my surroundings became my motivation to want better and do better. Therefore, I had to not allow the “environment” that I called home hinder me from dreaming and striving to fulfill my goals. Each and every day it is my pursuit to live the best life possible. Best as how I define it and not how others define it for me. This isn’t to say that I haven’t made any mistakes along the way. I have made mistakes and have experienced many shortfalls. In my book, I share strategies that worked for me in order to shift my mindset and deal with hurt, pain, doubt, and fear. It is a story about strength, perseverance, and ambition.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has not been a smooth road. My book speaks to some of the challenges I had encountered and been exposed to: substance abuse, divorce, losing it all and starting from scratch several times, and traumatic experiences, to name a few.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the #GoalGetter: Strategies for Overcoming Life’s Challenges story. Tell us more about the business.
Becoming an author, introduced me to the world entrepreneurship. Since my book released in April 2017, I have since added other products to my brand such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, and mugs with messages that are meant to inspire and motivate others.
I am most proud of stepping outside of my comfort zone and facing my fears by releasing my book. It was much like therapy for me as I reflected on situations and circumstances from my past. The book is my story and I always encourage others to not allow their past to dictate or determine their future.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Honestly, I don’t believe in luck. Prayer is my best friend and it is my belief that what will be, will be. I no longer worry about things that are out of my control. Besides, there is nothing I can do about it anyway if it’s out of my control. I strive each day to be a better me than the day before. This is what keeps me motivated and hopeful about my future, personally and professionally.
