2009 Not only marks the year of change for America, it marks the rebirth of my company.
Almost 5 years ago I started this company with an incredible vision of becoming an ultra-successful urban media company. Over that time I learned more about business and friendship than I could have imagined.
These were hard lessons that left my company on the brink of death. As recently as a few days ago, I was hours from losing all I had built.
As it stands now, we have no money. I have very little income. My entire team has moved on to other projects. I can't afford to do any of the original productions and offline events we did in the past.
Basically, all I have is my vision, mochacity.com, and a burning desire to succeed despite everything that has happened.
So, where do I go from here?
Well the way I see it, I'm in a better position than I was in 5 years ago when we didn't even have a site. I still have the vision. I still have the desire. And I have 5 years of life experience.
Thus, I will go back to the beginning and start building things the way I wanted to from jump street. But this time I'm hoping I'll be better off because there will be no conflicts. It will be ONLY my vision, my work and in the end my success or failure.
Right now, I thank god that I'm far too stubborn to ever give up on my dreams. But without the support of Vanity(the love of my life) and a few other very supportive people members of MochaCity.com (rumor, so_poetic, shesexy3, and others) I may have given up on this site. Not on my dreams, but on this version of the dream.
Thankfully, that won't happen now... or ever!
In 2009 what you'll see is what an amazing desire succeed and hard
work can get you. Stay tuned.
** I hear you Coco. I depend on me now and only me.**
