Who I Am

 

 

 

I'm that girl who isn't afraid of failing. I'm that girl that will try 1,000 different things that probably didn't work and would still be willing to try 1,001 more times. I don't quit. I won't give up. Regardless of what it looks like, I still believe. My name is Makeva Harold....Jenkins, I am ME!

 

 

If I had to give a title to my hustle, I'd say I'm a Social Media Guru, Business Consultant, Web & Business Developer and Publicist. These descriptions all tie in together. I help Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners achieve their personal and career goals. In doing so, I'm also helping myself. I'm striving to create a brand, a household name, a name that when you hear it, you'd want to work with me. You'd want me to work for you to help you grow your business. I'm good at what I do but I need people to know it, I need people to see me for who I am, see my work ethic, see how hard I work and give me a chance. You can work hard all day long but if you're not connected with the right people, it's pointless, it's a waste of time.

 

I work hard for my family, so I can bring meat to the table with my husband. I know that the husband is the head and he is the provider and protector of his family BUT I wasn't raised to not get it on my own; therefore, we get it together! My Grandmother instilled this in me at a young age and though she doesn't understand my hustle and feels that I should get a "real job," I love her to pieces. I would like for her to understand that this is my "real job." I may not have a consistent paycheck rolling in and I may not be able to do all the things I used to do like traveling, shopping, getting my hair done faithfully every two weeks BUT I'm okay with that. These are the sacrifices I make to focus on my business, to put my profits back into my business so I can grow my business. This is only for a short period of time that I will have to make these sacrifices so I'm okay with it.

 

 

I hear this quote all the time, "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." Maaannnnn!!! My dreams scare the living daylight out of me. I want so much. I want to do so much. I have so much planned. I'm just praying and believing that my plans line up with God's plans for my life, if not his being larger than mine. I do what I do because I love it and it doesn't come off as work for me. I also am thankful that I can inspire others. I smile when people message me, text me, call me or give me gifts just because they say I inspired them to not give up or that I helped them get where they are today. Just yesterday, I received $100 from someone who told me I was a blessing to them and they wanted to thank me. In my head, I was just being me. I know that my life isn't just for me; it may not be for me at all but I can gladly say, I'm happy to know that I motivate and inspire others to keep pushing. That's part of me building my brand. I'd never tell you to do something I haven't done. My faith is strong. I'm the type of person that would jump off a cliff and trust God to allow me to fly. I have that kind of faith. I'm fearless. I'm not afraid to take risks. If an opportunity doesn't come to me, I'll create the opportunity for myself. I don't wait until a door opens, I either open it or build another door. That's just me. I'm motivated. I'm ambitious. I'm destined to succeed. I'm just a girl from a small, rural, not really heard about city, Belle Glade, Fl, trying to make it, trying to create a better life for my family and get my family out of the hood. Everyday, that's my focus. I will hit the pavement running daily until I do just that and will work even harder to maintain it. Mark my words. Long day, okay. Stressful day, okay. Sick day, okay. I work and I work hard.
