It’s for those of usnavigating entrepreneurship, motherhood, setbacks, new beginnings, and wins no one clapped for. It’s for the ones who knowtheir story isn’t over because they haven’t reached their peak yet.This initial issue is a reflection of courage, grace, and growth.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn on this journeyis how to keep moving even when you feel like you’rewalking alone. The truth is, not everyone will understandyour vision. Some people you love will act like your winsdon’t exist. Others will secretly watch and compete whilepretending to support you. And sometimes, you’ll haveseasons where no one claps for you — and you have toclap for yourself.I’ve learned that you don’t need a crowd to validate yourcalling. Your assignment was given to you, not a committee.Some of my biggest moves happened in silence, with noone cheering me on, and no one offering a hand. But Istayed focused because I knew the life I wanted for myselfand my daughters wasn’t going to build itself.It’s okay if they don’t see you yet. It’s okay if your circleshrinks when you start elevating. What matters is that yourefuse to shrink for anyone’s comfort and that you keepshowing up for yourself, even on the days when it feelsheavy. Your future self is depending on you to pushthrough.Remember: You don’t need permission. You needdiscipline. And you don’t need a room full of people to bedestined for greatness — you just need the courage to keepgoing without applause.No one is required to believe in your dreams but you. Your vision was placed in your heart for a reason — and whether people clap for you or not,you owe it to yourself to keep building. Every day you show up, even when it’s hard, you’re getting stronger. You’re breaking cycles, creatingopportunities, and building a legacy bigger than anyone around you can imagine. Stay committed, stay grounded, and trust that everything you’reworking for is already making its way to you.PERSONAL LESSON, MOTIVATIONALMESSAGE, & AFFIRMATIONwww.joblinkgroupllc.com25 July 2025Volume 1, Issue 1“DEAR BOSS: KEEP GOING” FEATUREJOBLINK GROUP LLC04Affirmation: I move with purpose, even without applause.

When I created JobLink Rides, it wasn’t just about movingpeople from Point A to Point B. It was about removing onemore barrier that keeps people from showing up for theirfamilies, their futures, and themselves.I watched too many good people lose jobs because public transportationwas unreliable, rides fell through, or they simply couldn’t afford an Uberevery day to work. Staffing agencies placed people, but didn’t think abouthow they’d actually get there.JobLink Rides is not just a service — it’s aworkforce game-changer. We contract reliable,insured drivers to safely pick up and drop offemployees for companies, staffing agencies, and jobfairs. It’s scheduled, consistent, and built around therealities of the everyday worker.Why It Matters: Reliable transportation means fewer absences,higher employee retention, and better jobopportunities. It supports working parents, second-chancehires, and underserved communities. It helps businesses reduce turnover and protecttheir bottom line.Why Workforce Transportation Is the SolutionNobody Saw ComingWhat’s Next:In the next 90 days, my goal is to contract 5–10companies or staffing agencies, build a solid rosterof drivers, and secure our first municipal vendorcontract. This is about creating access, and I won’tstop until every worker who wants to clock in can getthere — safely and on time.If you’re a business leader, staffing agency, or cityofficial reading this:Let’s partner.

MONEY MOVESMONEY MOVESMoney Moves You Could Make NowIf you want your next season to look different your money habits have to shift too. It’s not just about how muchyou earn it’s about how much you manage, multiply and move your money with intention.Moves to lock in this season: Separate your money. Your personal and business finances shouldn’t share a bank account. Respect yourbusiness by treating it like one. Invest in financial literacy. Know where your money’s going, how it’s working for you and how to protect it. Set a financial goal. Not “I want more money” - but “I want to save $5,000 by December” or “I'm increasingmy business revenue by $2,000 a month.”Prioritize assets over aesthetics. The car can wait - own something that appreciate not depreciates. Automate your money. Saving retirement investments - the more you automate the less room you leavefor excuses. Money Mindset Mantra: “I attract profitable opportunities and financial blessings because I move with purpose, wisdom, and integrity.”14
