Need a good cleaning company? Bright Spot Cleaning has got you covered! Our Local First Member, Egide, took over the company in September 2023. When he started, he was the only employee. Now, he has three employees outside of himself and has clients in Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Walker, and Caledonia. They are always accepting new clients! 🧹 We asked Egide if he had any advice for rising black entrepreneurs and he recommended: "First and foremost, I think, is to believe in themselves and their abilities and don't let anybody discourage your dreams or limit your potential. And another thing, get out of your comfort zone and surround yourself with the positive and supportive individuals who share your vision and can offer you guidance along the way. Building your network is very crucial for any industry, particularly for the black business owners, always seek out mentorship and professional connections. Always stay dedicated and committed to your goals. I encourage other black entrepreneurs to push outside their comfort zone and to not settle for simply ‘the American Dream’ because now, it takes more than that. I recognize that there is a lack of information and resources but by encouraging network building and relying on the community of black business owners for advice will take you further. " ✨ So, Happy Black History Month! It's important to always choose black owned businesses every year and not just during February or August. 💜 #BlackHistoryMonth #PeopleFirstEconomy #ChooseBlackBusiness
