 Good morning early rizers, On Saturdays, we highlight women entrepreneurs. Today I want to highlight the business of my good friend Elaine called 'The Pierre Group.' Go follow on Instagram and visit her website www.thepierregroupcs.com  for all of your consulting needs. Some of her services include but not limited to bookkeeping, credit repair, payroll, tax preparation, financial planning, notary signing, document filing, and consultation. She launched her business this year in the middle of a pandemic! It takes money, ambition, and vision to launch any business let alone launching it in a year where everything was so unpredictable. Below she answers some questions to motivate and inspire the next generation of women entrepreneurs. 1. What do you do for a living? I am an audit analyst and also a business owner.

Greetings, I hope you all are doing well and counting all of your blessings this holiday season. I sure am. If I can admit it, this year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs, but through it all, I count it all joy because I am still here to see it. From failed spring break plans, to no graduation, moving, the end of a friendship, studying for the bar for 5 months, catching covid..whew!

SheRize is a platform that aims to highlight the successes of women from across the globe—particularly those who come from marginalized communities. Most of us can attest to the difficulties of going to college, opening up a business, and starting a career. Unfortunately, there are those who get discouraged along the way.

Our successes are a reflection of the faith, hard work, perseverance, consistency, and drive that it took for us to achieve our goals.    The vision of SheRize is to bring all those women together to inspire other young women to reach their goals and RIZE to their fullest potential. Our foundation is rooted in our belief in God.  We can make our plans, but it is he who helps us to achieve them—Proverbs 16:9 We will achieve these goals through mentorship. A mentor is something that I didn't have until much later in life. As a first-generation woman navi...
