Fear

Fear “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

Rules, Normal, Unique

Everyone is an expert on how to start a business. Everyone presents a rule book on how to create a workshop.  Everyone has a guidebook on how you can make a million dollars doing xyz.

Just remember you are unique. Rules are guides. Take the advice and make create your own destiny.

You are unique. You listen, you learn and you create the project uniquely designed for you.

Stumble... Fall...get up..and do it all again until you reach that goal.

Priorities

I received invites to events. Events that would give me great networking opportunities.

I also had a presentation due for my mentor. I had time to complete it...but I shifted priorities.

This event just came up. This deadline was Monday. My mentor adjusted her schedule to accommodate me.

My priority shifted to complete my presentation. I am glad it shifted.

Know your priorities. Know what's important. Choose.

Business or Buzinezz

The last two days have been interesting. I am a business woman. A woman of character. My word is my bond. It takes a lot to take me out my character. Acting in shady secretive manner will do it.
Thank God, for a referral from my little bro...and for creating a relationship with the sons of blood and thunder and a man on the square.

I have learned ..share enough info to get them interested and you serve as the gate way to make and cement the connection.

Business 101 everyone who is friendly ain't your friend. Instead, look to your peoples who have shown their true colors..lean on the shield and search for the square.

Folks show you who they are, believe them, but don't let them take you out your character and don't get in your feelings about it
.....its simply Buzinezzz.

Loss-opportunity-disappointment

You try and nothing comes of it. Someone lends a hand and you see hope. You feel as if you have positive impact. You feel good. Anger and nastiness is kicked in your face, like sand on a beach. A challenge you were unprepared for, weighs you down. You follow through but receive no follow up.
You are mentally and physically exhausted.
This all happened today, agggggh!!

One

Yesterday, I read an article about a man considering suicide. The police officer asked for permission to talk to him. He didn't talk, he just listened. He reached out. The man in pain held on. He gained strength and has continued to fight. He reconnected with the police officer and they became family.
I truly believe that one person can make that difference. Sometimes, we have to have the strength to reach out and be that one. Sometimes, we have to reach out for that one.
Will you be that one?

To be seen or to be influential

I am an extrovert. I want to be seen. I want to be heard. I also want to be impactful. I cannot always be the face or the voice. I can always be impactful. I dream big. I am a visionary. I often want folks to hear about my dream and implement it. Simply because I have lazy moments and need a staff.
More often than not we watch folks be recognized. Their picture is on the magazine or their voice is on the radio. We wonder who hooked them up and why ain't I being recognized. The question are you doing for the accolades or the impact? I have had to quiet the roar of fame and be comfortable with the silent strength of impact.
