Did you know in Texas, as of June 2023, there were 1,715,476 active Texas LLCs (out of 2,399,662 total active Texas entities)? That means 29% of the registered businesses are NOT actively selling a product or service. In addition, on a national average 40% of businesses fail within the first three years, 49.9% within five years. Why does almost 30% of business fail in TX? I can't say that I know that answer, I can only speak to my experience as a Business Owner in TX. From my vantage point it is lack of support, comradery and the aggressive nature of business owners gate keeping. In a Corporate culture where I spent 22 years it was common to have multiple mentors ready and eager to take you under their wing and show you the ropes. A reach back effort if you will to help someone else along their journey. I've not experienced this same culture in business ownership in San Antonio. I opted to be a part of the change and instead of celebrating 5yrs of being in business with friends and family to celebrate with local business owners. I am creating a positive space for owners to celebrate each other, pour into one another and collaborate. I'd love to celebrate you. Come join us on Nov 9th from 12-3. If you can't make it consider sponsoring another business to attend. https://lnkd.in/getZFdWW

And of course all the partnerships I’ve built along the way.

Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but I believe it's important to stop and honor the milestones. Edstruments is celebrating its (legal) 5th birthday today, though the idea was sparked in early 2017 during my last year at Stanford. Here are five personal reflections on the journey so far as we cross five years 👇 1. 💫 It took many people to get us here, including team members, investors, advisors, and supporters...including many who I have never even met in person. The earliest Edstruments partners who took a bet on us in 2020 (right before the world turned upside down) gave us some validation that we were building something of value and helped us persist through a rough first pandemic year. The partners who've joined us in 2021 and beyond continue to reaffirm that there is a real need for what we're building. 2. 👬 Having the right co-founder is powerful. When Ashwin Gopi Krishna first started working with me in August 2019, it was supposed to be as a temporary ("a few months") favor as he was figuring out next steps. Today, Edstruments wouldn't exist without his technical expertise and steady product leadership. His skillset is completely different from mine, and our shared commitment to the mission and vision of what we do makes us a great team. 3. 💪 Resilience, perseverance, and optimism are perhaps the most important characteristics to develop as an entrepreneur. I have never faced so much rejection in my life prior to this work...whether from a prospective partner, investor, or job candidate, I have been told "no" hundreds of times in the last five years. Staying optimistic and believing in the best days being ahead have kept us going even on the hardest days. By the way....some of those individuals who told us "no" before are now some of our best and most active current partners. 4. ⛰ Staying grounded in what matters most has prevented entrepreneurship from becoming all-consuming. When I started Edstruments, I made a commitment to do it with balance, including prioritizing my marriage with Kelly, physical/mental health, and personal relationships. I became a father one year in, and had a second child three years later, both whom I try to spend quality time with every day. I have times where I commit to "switching off" from work, and for the last year I've met with a therapist monthly. I continue to nurture my faith and spiritual community. Perhaps all of this means we move more slowly than if I was working 80-hour weeks and every weekend...but it allows the role to feel sustainable rather than burn-out inducing. 5. ⏳ Building something great takes time...much more than I expected. It's tempting to read articles about startups that exploded from "day one" and believe this is what success is supposed to look like. More commonly, certainly for us, it's a steady grind with various inflection points. We're hitting one of those now, and I'm excited for what the years ahead hold. Gratitude to all, Aditya

Did you know… Black Businesses make lower revenues and pay lower wages than other groups? I’m sure this is not a surprise but it is time to do something about it. Many programs helping Black businesses focus on “capacity building and technical assistance” which is great. You need that! But what helps grow and scale a business successfully is MORE SALES. You need to make more money. Service more customers. Win more contracts. That’s why the Black Business Initiative has rolled out new training and tools to help you generate MORE REVENUE. We have virtual and in person sessions and events (check the location) to grow your Black Business. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting thousands of entrepreneurs and we can’t wait to work with you. Follow us on Eventbrite to be the first to know when new sessions come out. ****************** COMING UP Monthly Mastery Series: Converting Followers to Customers with Kendall Ficklin Learn real strategies to help you better utilize your social media to acquire more customers.

Black Business Month is coming to a close, but our commitment to supporting Black-owned businesses should not. Despite the progress made, many Black entrepreneurs still face significant challenges, including limited access to capital and lower revenues compared to their non-Black counterparts. Supporting Black-owned businesses is a powerful way to address the racial wealth gap, which remains a significant barrier to economic equality. Let's make it a priority to seek out and support these businesses all year long. Be sure to check out the DeKalb Black Business Guide that was put together by Decide DeKalb Development Authority, making it easy to discover and support local Black-owned businesses. https://loom.ly/nitvyF4
