The holidays are here which means it’s the biggest shopping season of the year! I’m sure if you’re like me, you’re making a list and checking it twice to make sure you have everything on it that you would like as a gift. This year, it’s different for me though. I wanted gifts that would help me be a better business owner, a better writer, a better me. So, I only asked for things that were related to business like leadership coaching, strategy sessions, the annual payment for my business’ website, goal setting planners, etc.
I decided to put together a list of 10 Black-owned businesses that offer amazing services for moguls. From professional networking groups and organizations, leadership and professional/personal development coaching, courses, workshops, webinars, technology consulting, the list goes on and on with the available support, both free and paid, for professionals.
Take a look at our list and consider adding them to your gift list this year. Let’s end the year and this decade strong!
