EP2: Falling Off The Mini Cliff After The Acquisition with Khadijah Robinson
Road to Reinvention08/12/22 • 55 min
In this episode, I Think I’m Doing This Right welcomes Khadijah Robinson, Harvard Law graduate and founder of an e-commerce directory for Black businesses that connects shoppers with black makers, creatives, and services.
Tune in as Khadijah shares her journey from lawyer to full-time entrepreneur committed to the elevation of the Black community to working with Sean “P. Diddy/Brother Love” Combs, and all the intimidating transitions in between. And if she has truly caught up with herself in all that has developed in the past year alone...
Don’t miss this conversation about making the leap to do what fulfills you rather than what is “right” and why defining your values and what’s really important guarantees no more wrong choices.
KEY POINTS:
Khadijah Robinson’s transition from law to entrepreneurship
How her e-commerce company was born
Doing what your gut compels you to do, even when it’s frightening
When entrepreneurship also requires a bit of luck
There is no such thing as “doing it right”
Why community is a superpower and asset in and of itself
QUOTABLES:
“I realized as I was transitioning out of my law firm and into full-time entrepreneur life, like this is my opportunity to not just say that this is what I want to do, but just do it. So I just did it, which is basically half of the things that you do as an entrepreneur. You're like, well, I'll just do it and see what happens.”
“I committed to buying black. I was like, if I can't do anything except argue with my judge about somebody's sentence every so often, I am going to do this one small thing.”
“If you're going to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to be adaptable and be ready to take all kinds of curveballs, both good and bad.”
