We had the good fortune of connecting with Annette Morris, MA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Annette, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I initially started a business for the freedom and flexibility. As a mother owning my own business allowed me to spend more time with my kids and to be present for them in ways I was unable to being b employee. Also as a daughter caring for an elderly, it’s also given me the flexibility to assure my mom is able to have Dr’s visits without problem.

I also knew that entrepreneurship would allow me to make more revenue that my profession as a Mental Health Therapist however at the time I didn’t realize how much more revenue I could earn in this space.

What should our readers know about your business?
The name of my business is Goal Getter LLC. The mission is to help female entrepreneurs to grow their passion based businesses to 6-7 figure businesses that will support the life of their dreams while leaving a legacy for their families. Goal Getter LLC was formed as April 27, 2012 in the State Of Louisiana. We started providing Consulting for Behavioral Health agencies and the business has grown over the years to w now multi 6-figure business with 8 streams of income.

Entrepreneurship has by far been the most rewarding and difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life and that saying a lot because I’ve given birth twice 🤣🤣! Entrepreneurship has so many challenges and is definitely not for the weak. Actually some days I question if it’s for the strong🤣There are days I’ve closed 10k deals, then weeks for by and CRICKETS. Months I’ve generated 100k then months I’ve generated 0k. I’ve found the key to success as an entrepreneur is to ride the wave understating there are high income phases and phases you feel like you’re heading to the poor house. To soften the blow I always encourage my clients in their mountain seasons, to pay bills ahead of time don’t blow all their overflow that way in the valley seasons bills won’t be a stressor.

As a therapist I work on myself personally and professionally often. The mindset work is a must just to keep pushing in business while balancing all the other areas in life (motherhood, etc)! I strongly encourage consistent self-care routines; setting boundaries and work-life balance to assure overall success,

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If I had to visit my hometown of New Orleans we would visit local restaurants like Lil Dizzy’s or Morrow’s for lunch and a quick drink. We could definitely finish the day with massages at Woodhouse Spa and at Cafe DuMonde for beignets and coffee! If she and I were getting away it would have to be at a resort in Mykonos or Tulum! The resort would pretty much have any food options we would like to indulge in therefore we can sit at a bar to catch up over a Miami Vice daiquiri. My friends and I love love love to travel especially to International destinations!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Reading the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is THE book I can attribute to my infest shift as it regards the ability to generate infinite revenue especially in this entrepreneurship space. I now realize unlike employment, there’s no salary cap aside from the one that we as business owners impose!

I also attribute my acceleration to my next level of entrepreneurship to my coaches Aprille Franks and Shannon Lavenia, accountability partner and BF Melika Honore along with my kids and mom for indirect encouragement and support.
