Hi, I’m Lashon Rush
I started Harlem’s Pop Up Collaborative as a place where fellow artisans and entrepreneurs could have a place not only to showcase their talents, but also receive community support.
As I started my journey as an entrepreneur, I often wished I had others walking beside me to lessen my learning curve which comes quickly when it comes to the pursuit of launching your own business.
I feel it is imperative to surround yourself with like minded people who share the same drive and goals. I can’t wait to be around the energy and excitement that’s contagious and electric!
Lastly, we give our whole selves to our customers. It takes a tremendous effort to come out of one’s comfort zone and share ideas and talents with others. For every artisan that has joined my event I appreciate and applaud you. My hope for us all is to succeed in our endeavors.
My Approach
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more, or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, just do it!
Dream it
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion businesses out there, but your story is what’s going to separate you from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Build it
Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your business can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
