A few weeks ago, I tweeted "when it comes to promoting your business, don't be afraid to be annoying." It went viral, with mixed reactions. On this episode, I breakdown the nuances of the statement and why it isn't actually about being annoying, but about shifting the negative perceptions we all have around self-promotion. 

I also announce that the first product in The Sakita Method collection: the 'Done is Better Than Perfect' journal is available for pre-order NOW at ItsTheSakitaMethod.com/shop.

Ep. 56: In Business, Don't Be Afraid to Be Annoying

Rochelle Graham-Campbell is the Co-Founder and CEO of Alikay Naturals. 

As BlackOnyx77, Rochelle was one of the first SIX women on YouTube talking about natural hair. After big chopping her hair for the second time, she realized that she needed to grow it back quickly and decided to make a growth oil using her Jamaican heritage as a guide. Soon people began asking her if they could purchase her oil, so she took $100 in tips she earned during a shift at Olive Garden and made her first batch and soon Alikay Naturals was born. On this episode, she talks about that moment and what it has taken to grow Alikay into a multi-million dollar enterprise.

On this episode, I talk about the importance of always showing up with excellence at work and for your clients regardless of what the circumstances are. 

Sometimes people will do a less than stellar job as a way to hurt their boss or place of work, when in actuality what you do and how you show up will always be a reflection of you and end up hurting you the most in the long run.
