United By Stoke - Cultivating Community MOSSAMO

The Scotch Creek Incorporation talk, this is not our normal discussion style topic however being part of a community and experiencing all we have gone through in this community as of late the chatter all around town seems to be pretty vibrant on this discussion topic.
There are a lot of people coming into the Raven asking questions and even more sitting around tables talking about it for hours, so we thought we would ask one of the people who is involved in and has been active in this process since around 2003.
I have heard business people, families, mothers, elders, and just every single concerned community member asking these certain questions....so this is how the talk went
If you have questions please bring them forward
All love all day for this amazing community!

Give More Than You Take To Win, with the Raven Boys! If you want to build a lasting brand, company or business this is something we put at the top of list.
Some will get this, and some won't basically you either get it and live by it or you just won't get it and that is fine as well. However for those who get this, live by it, stand with it, and breath life into it.... you have won, in our hearts. More of this is needed in the world!
We speak on things we are selfish on, which to us at the very top of the list is our health which includes the mental, physical and spiritual. We will not compromise these items for 1 simple facts and that is; to be our best for this brand company and it's supporters we need to be our best self point blank. We want to be able to give each person 110% of ourselves, as well as each aspect of the company from cleaning the bathroom to designing the new Spring Line for the year.
We tend to shy far far away from those whom only extract from people or communities, and give less than they take, that to us just does not sit well nor fell right!
All love Fam until the next episode

Online in 2022 vs Brick and Mortar in 2022 United By Stoke
 


Its just a fact we are in the Year 2022, we are in the Future that we all never though would be here. We are talking Metaverse, virtual reality, and just things we never thought were real unless in the movies or cartoons. So for the Entrepreneurs out there we are in that between area of what reality is our future of business going to be.
 


Shane and I got into the online aspect of RAVEN 425 as we first started, and things were pretty darn good to be honest, yet we did branch out into pop up shops and selling our gear out of Crossfit gym's aka Brick and Mortar stores and we were actually blown away with the response and how the old school way of doing business was actually still booming and alive. Which then changed our mindset of what our business actually would look like as we continued to move forward and grow the brand.
 


Moving forward how does one plan for the ever changing roadways ahead as everything changes on this landscape we call business. The fact is how humans do business will change, however humans will not change, we still want to touch, try on, be seen, hang out...and so on and so forth. As well some want nothing to do with the lines, the people, the waits ect and are happy to sit at home and order what ever it is they want.
 


With these options sitting in front of us the RAVEN BOYS will be and continue to attack both sides of this, we do not feel there is a better way, we do love to hang and meet our peeps so we will be expanding our brick and mortar area's this Spring Summer Fall or 2022 (this is extremely exciting for us) as well as continuing to keep up with all the online and future ways of doing business as we move forward.
 


This is simply a fact for all those doing business from now on anyway take a listen to our views and let us know what you think.
 


Much Love from the RAVEN Boys

Our #1 Go to Process for 2022 is Patience
 


Our #1 Go to Process for 2022 is Patience, for this brand, for business, for life, for dreams, for our future. This has come about after being involved in Raven 425 Apparel for 2 years now, and it's something that has just organically come into our head space.
 


For all of us trying to live our dreams, follow our dreams, fulfil our dreams, most of us don't think it can happen quick enough, but the fact is anything that comes that fast (most of the time, not all the time) will fade just as quick. So do you want to be a quick flash in the pan or do you want to be a long lasting glowing sunset?
 


WHY WOULD WE SAY THAT YOU ASK?
 


To be honest its simple because there is zero foundation being built on, and the foundation is the key. The process is the key and for that you need and must adhere to PATIENCE!


So if we give the example of building a house, we would not landscape the property first so that it looks all sexy and slick for all to see when the bulldozers have not yet broken the ground to pour the concrete...that makes sense right?!
 


Yet we all want the billion dollars, the million followers, and the fame overnight....It's the same damn thing. We got to put in the work and we have to respect the time and patience it takes to actually build something REAL, and something that will last!
 


We have all heard of the 1 hit wonders that come and go, the lottery winners that make a million and then they are broke the next week, the accounts that go viral off 1 video never to repeat that success again, that is what happens without the foundation, the process, the PATIENCE of building a lasting empire.
 


So as always the Raven Boys give it to you real and lay out the lessons learned over the past 2 years, and how we plan to move forward with this knowledge and Process in 2022!


 
Always sending you love

United By Stoke 3 Business Tips For 2022
 


So it is the New Year, 2022, it is another day, it is a new day, and that means time to make it happen in 2022! So we have for you 3 business tips from us the Raven Boys which we are either implementing or will continue to implement in 2022.
 


So coming in at #1 is NO Fear. If the one thing this last 2 years has taught us is; we can not get back time. For myself and for Shane we both look at it and will continue to look at it (and to some point base decisions off this) we are not promised tomorrow, and what if today was our last day.
 


This gets us out of our comfort zone and leads us to NO Fear for the future, we trust in the process! BTW that is not at all easy and it's something that must be done over and over again to make it an easier process.
 


The #2 Tip will be to Find Our People, again with no time to waste or not time to mess around with, why be around people who either don't get us, don't understand us, don't believe in us, bring us down, and so on and so forth.
 


So why put yourself in that situation? Why would any of us waste time, energy and our soul to sit around those who don't support us and that possibly we don't support them? So find those who do support, those that inspire, those that make us smile. Again we have a short time to make our dreams a reality so let us not waste any more time not trying to make our purpose felt on this amazing planet!
 


Tips #3, and this one is just apart of our culture and that is Good Vibes only, with all the doom and gloom being dealt out why not spread love and positive vibes, it is a much easier way to be. It is our natural state to be happy, to be in love with life, to be blessed by this life. We feel it's all to easily forgotten when the bad news keeps being pushed down our throats. So we will be upping our good vibe spreading for 2022.
 


Again we are not some bunny hugging, foo foo, full of crap brand. We are human we have ups and downs, but again the game plan is to have way, way, way more ups for 2022!
 


In the show we snuck in a 4th tip cuz we love to over deliver... as always we appreciate you and can't wait to rock with you all this year!
