- Hey I'm Kamaya Johnson! I'm a wife, SAHM, currently pregnant Tax Advisor and Strategist. - This year has been my year of healing. On this journey, I realized my brain doesn't work well with most programs I'm apart of and after taking a quiz I showed high markers for potential ADHD. I've always been gifted, creative, talented but, I lack focus at times and I get easily bored once something becomes uninteresting. (Obviously, terrible when it comes to doing repetitive business tasks lol) - My biggest challenge is finishing a few things I started at the beginning of this year that once finished could really open up great doors.

This is my first post, which means I’ve overthought it, over-edited it, and finally decided to just hit “post.” It’s a relief to find a community of real, like-minded founders. People balancing vision, focus, and the chaos that comes with it. Short bio: I burned out of my 9-5 after clashing with management back in 2018. It's disheartening to feel like no one was in my corner when my main philosophy is to do the best I can in every situation. Results may vary. I enjoyed the work. It was analytical, self-driven, and paid the bills. I didn't particularly enjoy being on the wrong end of unempathetic managers who prioritize their numbers over their people. Good people who work hard have hard times, and I'm reminded of that now as the roles are currently reversed. I dabbled in a new job with various struggles. My days were interspersed with insomnia, panic attacks, and feeling like a total disappointment. I kept looking. Then, I thought I found my calling in ASD therapy as a Registered Behavior Technician. Covid hit, and the day after I got my RBT certification we entered lockdown. I guess the universe was telling me, not this either, try again. I took a job as an art teacher just to feel useful. The pay barely made up for the gas money to drive there. Then, the school shut down my department after 1 school year. Try again. I took the opportunity to have my first child. Raising her is the best and hardest job I'd come across so far. Enter 2023, my husband wants to start a business with his long-time colleague. They are technically brilliant and business challenged. They ask me to take the helm and help them bring their visions to reality. Why not? I go back to school in the fall for my MBA, and we officially register our business in December. I forgot to mention, we're bootstrapping in a highly technical and capital intensive industry. It's so much fun.🫠 Fast forward to today, we have 3 businesses: >>A geoscience lab in the oil and gas industry. We have an amazing team with over 50 years combined experience, and proprietary technology the turns drilling waste that no one was using effectively before into millions in added value. Our issue is scale. The process is time intensive and we need to automate. For that we need capital.

Last month, we announced the 21-day October challenge. Our goal was simple: Help as many of you as possible set a goal and make progress towards it every day for 21 days! And boy did y'all deliver! So much so, in fact, that it is near-impossible for me to count everyone's points up 🙃 Which means I need your help. If you participated in the challenge, please comment on this post with: 1. What was your team name and logo, and who was your partner? 2. Did you miss any days? If so, did you post a streak save video to make up for the missed days and save your streak bonus? Help me figure this out so we can announce the winners! (And don't worry, I will be double-checking people's answers. So no cheating!)
