 I don't think y'all understand the importance of what they've done. And it went and got over $800 million for business owners that's doing anything that was employing people during the pandemic. My name is Lynette Smith and I am the owner of Nuts About Popcorn. Treats, snacks, nuts, fudge, you name it, we have it. We make flavors like dark chocolate sea salt and spicy buffalo and zebra and strawberry cheesecake. Stuff that you don't usually hear of in popcorn. We have the ability to make it. She does it all, man. I'm not even saying it's no way. She amazed me. I'm like, what's this? 130 flavors. She'd taste something. Oh, that's not good. Throw it away. Let's try a little. We'd be like, it's fine, man. She'd say no. Try it, man. One of my best years was actually the year of COVID because we switched as so many people were home, we became the go-to snack place. It was like everybody was home and they were chilling and binge watching TV shows and we were like, we got your snacks. We actually did really well. We got a lot of sponsorships. We were on QVC. We were sending stuff out by the boat though. I mean, it was, it was, it was insane. It's not sustainable. You know, it's one of those things you constantly have to work for. We were impacted by COVID because we had to really close a lot earlier, shorten our hours. We moved to Curbside Pickup. I had to shut one of my stores down. We had two at the time. We shut the mall store down and switched my primary location to Curbside Pickup. It was challenging trying to keep staff engaged while losing so many with this one store shutting down, but we worked our way through it. I love what I do and I wouldn't change it. I'm coming here tonight and listening to Omega helping us get our credit. It's going to be phenomenal. And the process was easy peasy. I'm just so proud of her for doing her. Thank you. Just sticking with it. When I came on started, we was like, uh, how are we going to do this? I own a heating and air conditioning and plumbing company. The reason why I got into business, every business I used to work for, I got discriminated against. So I said, listen, I'm going to try my own. Came home one day and said, babe, I want to do my own thing. She said, why not? I'll be one of those guys out there just doing the business. She said, no, you wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do it right now. So she got me set up with all my EIA numbers, insurances, everything that I need to make sure I was on the book. At least why I got my business because I have my son as my employee. There's so many bumps and bruises worked with different companies. Being discriminated against, I didn't want him to go through the same thing I wanted. I said, I'm going to get your head started. So I'm going to start my business so you can be part of my business and one day be the business. We went 32 years this year in November, but 31 years together. And it's like, that's the game to my end. We compliment each other really well, but we're both driven and hard workers and support one another. And I think that's the secret sauce. And we have our family, like our kids are now entrepreneurs because of watching us. My name is Jaleh. Most know me by DJ J. So I run immediate business to Mike XM. Shout out to Gillian Walo. Shout out to Camisha for all the information today. Hopefully I get a nice little tax credit for my business. I started media because I felt like black creatives needed a voice and I wanted to be basically like a mic to amplify the voice of those creatives which is why it's called the Mike XM. The best advice I got from a business owner honestly would be to just not have expectation. Don't stand on expectation, just enjoy the journey. You know what I mean? Learn as much as you can and just always keep pushing and remain consistent. I'm Ivana Courtney. I'm a child care provider and child care consultant as well as a serve safe instructor and proctor. I started a child care business of course because I love children and I work with children as a teenager through my aunt's business, my grandmother cared for children as well so I just love to see them caring for children and I wanted to do the same. If anybody know like the hash stores, they cut your times down. So this thing goes to like, well the brook used to open at 9 if I'm not mistaken. They started opening at 11 and closing at 6. Do that affect them? Yeah, that's your business operations time so if you had to cut down time during your business operations time that is a plus for you because you get money from, you know that's, you were supposed to be open from 9 a.m. but you only open at 11 so you do get credit for that as well. How many employees you got? I had from between 9 a.m. I was saying between 9 a.m. and 7 a.m. but I believe like three of them was like, they came, got a paycheck and slid and got hot outside and they like, So you still had 8 then? But I had, I had, I had work to pop in. Oh, you went? He had sign up? Yeah, I thought so. Perfect. You just made for that? You waiting for that number? You can borrow stuff now. If you guys are ready to hear about some of these resources that level up your business, do you say yeah? Yes. All right, all right. How did Omega Account Solutions get in the game? So Omega Accounting Solutions started about 16 years ago from our founder, Jay Woods. He had a vision to make sure that the accounting firm that he started was not like your mom and pops. Accounting firm, Maury, anything like that. So he started it out. I was employee number 59. We currently have 200 employees and it's because of the ERC credit. All you really need is a one page landing page, a business card and walk around. You got a logo on you. You got to wait a million back. So you run it with all that. You stand in close proximity to a winning brand and you can run around and just refer to people all day. I'm telling you, I'm running the bag up. I'm telling you how many businesses it is. If you just walk downtown and fill it. See how many businesses it is. It is ball in the business area. How you doing? I'm such and such. I represent Booboo Booboo Bang. Bang. A lot of it. So just think about that. So I wake up every day and just go to businesses throughout the community all through the city and just be like, that's your question. How many employees you got? Oh, I got eight employees. You never got that? Okay. Come on. Let me get you some money. Correct. So we got to put our students on a slide round. I can go to anywhere, jewelry store, anywhere. I'm trying to hustle. Come on. I'm just saying I know a lot of businesses with like five or more employees. We want to make sure they were affected by the pandemic too. It's been so long time. Don't be knock about us. I had a little company to buy. Having your family, you see them wrong and you have your own business and everybody understand business and we stick together. And that's been my goal. I mean, I'm the richest guy in the world. Hey, I'm the richest guy in the world. I don't have to have a million dollars, but I'm the richest guy in the world to know my kids, understand business and ready to do business. Not in the street. If you don't have to give me a million dollars, I'm already good. I'm good. I'm happy. I'll take the million dollars, Alex.
