Are you seeking to upgrade your daily spiritual routine but don’t know where to start?  Are you a visual learner, who spends time in your imagination?

If you answered yes, I am just like you.

Are you springing out of bed in the mornings happy to tackle your day of purpose?  Are you attracting the kind of people and opportunities that you deeply desire, as mentioned in my last blog? Are you living inspired, refreshed and confident even in the face of disappointment?

If you answered no to any of these questions, I have the solution for you.  I have created Picture Scripture Daily Inspiration Plan with you in mind.  During my daily devotions, I read certain parts of the scripture and afterwards wondered what does that mean?  For example “You are a lender and not a borrower.”  I actually tried to imagine myself as a lender and could not come up with an image for that.  To be a lender, was I a bank? It was challenging for me to come up with an image.  So because I speak in images,  I wanted to create a visual aid to help people like me.  I created it, use it with my family and I feel spiritually refreshed throughout the day.  It is just too good to keep to myself, so will you join me?

Picture scripture is a visual aid to engage your imagination in bringing alive the sometimes-mysterious meaning of scripture verses.  Our brains cannot make a distinction between what we imagine and what is reality.  So this practical guide will help you to easily visualize, affirm and personalize the abundant truth of the word of God.

Happy New Year Friends!  Every morning my sons look at their reflection in the mirror and say, “This is the best day of the year!”  I wish for you the very same.

 

We all know that like attracts like, it’s the law that says what you focus on, becomes your reality, whether negative or positive. Recently, I saw that concept up close.

 

Right before the holidays I attended my last meeting for the year. More than 50 people were in attendance. The presenters were a special group, four women and a man shared examples of their projects. They produce television news that is inspiring. Now that’s really unusual in the grand scheme of things because News tends to be on the negative side.

 

At the front of the room, the Director of the team sat on a stool front & center, while two of her producers sat left and two others sat right of her.  She kicked off the meeting and projected an attitude that we are all family here. She spoke calmly with zero nervous energy.

 

I couldn’t help but notice that right in front of her, the people at the front of the room, were the rest of her team. They all wore matching shirts and matching smiles.  It was a diverse group, emitting genuine happiness and an essence of unity.  Though the content was intriguing, something else dominated my focus.

 

I couldn’t help but see the correlation between the inspiring content, the friendly inviting leader and the obviously supportive & happy team.  I sat consumed by my inner questions, what kind of woman is this? Can goodness be so tangible? Captivated by her essence, right there, I had an epiphany or what I’ve described in my other posts as #BOL, breakthrough out loud.  We are what we attract.

 

As I pondered the epiphany all afternoon long, I couldn’t help but search myself and also look at the big picture. Among my thoughts were the following:

• There is really no need to search for the ideal opportunity or the uber positive team, be the positivity that you seek.
• If I’m off centered, chaos and people who play small and think small will be drawn to me.

 

Too often we invest time in the search, instead of spending a fraction of that time, working out the kinks in our own personality. If we live with the understanding that we’re always on stage, guess what we’ll also be mindful and intentional about how others experience us.

 

Napoleon Hill Foundation says it this way, “Your mental attitude determines what sort of friends you attract. If you want to be a positive, successful person, be sure you choose your friends carefully. Positive friends and role models will have a positive effect upon you, while negative friends will soon kill your initiative. Do not allow yourself to be lulled into complacency by the masses who believe mediocrity is an acceptable alternative. Focus on the possibilities for success, not the potential for failure. When you doubt yourself, talk the situation over with a positive, supportive friend. Everyone needs a boost now and again; make sure your friends are positive, success-oriented people who always build you up, not negative thinkers who always seem to find a way to tear you down.”

 

Today, I’m more committed than ever to iron out my own kinks, increase my positivity, in thought & speech, practice expressing gratitude, offer words of inspiration, visualize, affirm and take intentional steps toward my desired outcomes. Basically titivating my inner person to become more attractive.

What about you? What can you titivate to make yourself more spiritually attractive?

I believe that once I focus on this approach, I’ll become a magnet for kindness, a magnet for opportunities and a magnet for people who play big in the world.

For 2017, shift your focus to pursue only positive outcomes. Negativity is always fighting to capture your attention. Don’t let it!

Until next time, I honor the greatness in you!

My son at 10 years old, has always been a social butterfly.  But he soon found out that not many people make friends as easily as he does.  So he wrote a book, giving boys and girls a step by step guide for how to meet some one new.

Hello Achievers and Over-Achievers, it is time to take a break and celebrate! See why below: http://ow.ly/ppWZ307021C

One of my top strengths is that I am an Achiever. In layman’s terms, I make and accomplish a huge goal and then I just move on to the next goal without stopping to celebrate that defining moment.

It has been two months since the conference that I referenced in my last blog and I am taking the time to celebrate my micro wins.

Today, I feel a sense of fulfillment in my mind, my heart and in my reality. Instead of living in a vacuum, I am living on stage every single day. I am learning to know my voice and use it to inspire the masses. I see and appreciate myself as a woman, a wife, a mother, and a friend. I have learned the value of connections and I practice giving something away every single day.

I celebrate myself for recognizing that I am responsible for establishing, nurturing, and projecting my own happiness. I celebrate my genius and my love for knowledge. If there is a better way, I am going to research until I find it. I celebrate the tingles of happiness that I feel in my heart and on my skin. I celebrate the journey of transformation and my newfound understanding of how to deal with disappointments and rejection. Sharon Begley’s book Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain states humans have an average of 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. 80% of which is negative! OMG right! But now I know when the negative thoughts come, or the distracting thought tries to capture my attention, all I need to do, is to consciously shut it down. I celebrate that little piece of information. Knowing is half the battle. I love the water but I live far away from the sea, so I surround myself with sounds of the ocean or nature. I love the peace that it gives me and honestly, my mind does not know the difference. I celebrate being by the sea every single day.

I celebrate my relationships, yeees! Loving me first has helped me to love others more deeply and see them so much more clearly. My husband good Lord almighty, what a fine specimen! Calm like tiny waves hugging the seashore. Giving like new blossoms in spring. He is reliable like the sun rises to break the day. Hands-on, that man can fix or build anything! I celebrate his spirit and his presence.

My siblings oh Lord I celebrate them. These guys and gals are so accomplished, so smart, so handsome, driven, beautiful, and funny! They keep me laughing many times throughout the day. I love them deeply.

My children, seeds of my union, a royal generation, a rip-off of daddy and I. I celebrate that they are here, they are different, apart of my tribe, lavishing me with love, hugs, and kisses. They teach us how to live an unselfish life. I honor them.

My mama, a tiny little powerhouse! Her sacrifices to make sure I would never experience poverty or hardship the way she did, I am forever in her debt. The example of living your dreams, I inherited from her. She describes herself as 5 feet, nothing in her socks. Through her, I learned the power of being a woman.

I celebrate my dad. He is the funniest, smartest man alive. I will never forget how you walked me down the isle and when we danced at your 70th birthday. Those moments I will cherish forever.

I celebrate my grandma! 95 and let me tell you, there are no words to describe what this woman means to me, her faith framed mine.  I believe the impossible because of her.

Friends, a village, a tribe, work family, I celebrate you for stretching me, for pushing me, for correcting me and helping me, be the very best me.

Professionally, I celebrate coaching a young woman who needed a road map to starting her professional career. I celebrate training a small business staff to become more versed with using social media to reach new customers and increase their bottom-line.

It is Celebration Day on this blog. Who or what are you celebrating, and why? Whether it’s a gig you picked up, your current business, your intentional self-development, your family, spouse, children, your own self-love, your spiritual breakthrough? Share a comment as your way of joining this party!

It is so easy to see the things that are not going right. Or the person that is out to get you. Can you turn that thought off today? Chances are it was the same as yesterday. Shut that thing down and replace it with absolutely positive self-talk. Get in front of the mirror and tell yourself how proud you are of your accomplishments. I started on December 5 and will be doing it for 21 days. Celebrate your micro wins. Very soon, they will become macro victories.

 

Ummmmmmm

The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing. (Jeremiah 31:13)

For those of you who follow this blog and others who have taken the time to read my ramblings, thank you sincerely. To recap, in the last blog post, I shared that we all have greatness on the inside. It is my intention that you own this fact and live in this truth every second of your life. You have a purpose and it is a great one! Believe, that YOU ARE THE ANSWER, to someone else’s problem.

Remember my promise to continue sharing my breakthrough out loud moments (#BOL) from the Speak and Write 2016 conference? OK get ready because this one is juicy!

What I am about to discuss, I believe was one of the pivotal moments for everyone at the conference. Imagine that you are a physician, but a sick one and you know how to treat your illness. On the last day of the conference, we all became physicians in that room and experienced healing in some deep areas of our lives. Well, Lisa diagnosed our problem, prescribed the treatment, but we had to participate in the finished work. Here is how.

On day three, the discussion was about living in full abundance. Lisa wanted to give us a practical application of the lesson.  So we did an activity that focused on breaking the hold of limiting beliefs on our minds. She told us to break up into groups of four. One caveat, we could not be in a group with someone that we knew very well. My girlfriend and I were separated, bye girl! Next, we were instructed to arrange the chairs in a specific order. One chair is in the middle, while two chairs are on either side facing the middle chair and another chair is behind the middle chair. It looked something like this:

In this activity, the person in the middle was to think of one negative belief that someone in their past (parent, teacher, X lover, boss, spouse or even their own negative self-talk) planted in their mind. Examples of limiting beliefs are listed below:

1. You are a looser and always will be!
2. You are nothing and worthless.
3. You will never be loved if you leave me!
4. You will always be poor; our family has always been this way.
5. Money is the root of all evil.

You get the idea.  Essentially we were to think of one belief that has crippled us. Then create a counter statement to that thought, using only positive affirmations like the ones below:

1. I have clarity and I am destined for greatness.
2. I am wonderfully created. I accept myself and I am worthy.
3. I am smart.
4. I give myself permission to love again, I welcome second chances.
5. Love surrounds me, it fills me up and is so real that I feel the tingling on my skin.
6. I am a seven-generation wealth creator, money comes to me easily.

Now the person in the middle was instructed to speak the affirmation aloud and the others in the group then responded in unison, “You are ____________.” This went on repeatedly for at least two to three minutes. Personally, the repetition was uncomfortably long. Lisa instructed us to start by speaking in our normal voice level, then move to shouts and finally to a whisper. Say it until you believed it!  I was tempted to stop, but my group kept me going. We all sat in the hot seat but since we rotated clockwise, I was the second one in the group to go through the process.

I did not understand it at the time but in my recent research about the value of affirmations, I found this quote, “Psychologists say that it takes at least SEVEN positivism to cancel out ONE negativism. The constant criticism of the child results in damaged self-worth.” OMG right! Did that just kick you in the gut like it did me? So literally, Lisa was using other voices to replace the limiting belief that perhaps held each person in the group hostage, for a very long time. Whoosh!

This activity broke down the walls for everybody at the conference. I saw grown men weeping, not in secret but loud and live! Men, women, youth, finally breaking free from a belief that probably shackled them for their entire lives. It sounded like a labor ward, transformation, or rebirth in action. Think Hulk transforming but in the reverse. People had been wounded deeply, but they were finally going through “surgery” and taking all the cancerous beliefs out.  Out with the old lie, the beliefs were replaced with healthy ones that repaired the damage.

At the end of the exercise, Lisa asked each person who had gone through the process, to stand in their new power and to be re-introduced to the world as their new self. The great stood up! The unicorns stood up! The world-changers stood up! The wives-to-be stood up! The husbands-to-be-stood up!  The billionaires-to-be stood up!  All of us got the opportunity to stand in our power because clarity and the truth had set us all free! As each person stood up and embraced his or her new self, the other members of the group also jumped to their feet and cheered like a celebrity had entered the room.

This went on until it was time for the final person in the group to take the hot seat. But before they did, Lisa confronted them with this revealing question. “Why do you always put yourself last? This is the pattern of your life. But God is requiring you to step into first place!” I began thinking oh, oh! Lisa continues, “Why do you put everybody else in front of yourself? Some of you need to affirm, I am first!” Even before the exercise began some people standing just lost it, tears were flowing. I watched and I felt those people were giving birth to a new part of themselves. Like babies, they were about to walk for the first time.

To say my girlfriend and I left full, while at the same time emotionally drained and excited about the future is an understatement. We are on a rigorous path of continued self-development.  To keep the momentum, we have read Lisa’s Book Abundance Now, and personally, I can admit, surgery continued post conference. It broke me down, to build me up, ouch, ouch, ouch! I am a work in progress but the abundance is truly real as I continue to engage in the self-work.

Now both of us belong to a tribe of people who have a road map for their self-development. We have connected with people who are constantly encouraging us. As we left the conference we met an amazing woman, who is a former Vice President, she went through a transition, and her journey is a visual depiction of how a professional woman can reinvent and reposition herself. When we met her, both us said, “God was showing us, it is possible honey.” Stay tuned my friends, for in a few months, I will be barely recognizable. Forty is about to become fabulous and I am inviting you all to come along with me.

As you join me on this journey, I recommend that you read Abundance Now by Lisa Nichols.   If you are ready mentally, the book will move your mindset and life from average to abundant, I guarantee it!

Find a quiet place. Turn on your favorite sound, the one that makes you feel calm. It could be classical music, instrumentals, jazz, gospel, or my favorite sounds of the ocean or nature. Take a deep breath, filling your lungs, not just breathing from your chest. Close your eyes and begin to picture yourself, successful! Imagine people giving you a standing ovation. They love you. Feel the love. You have everything you need for life, enough money, enough love, unlimited access to pursue your ideal career, you are in the best shape of your life. You look amazing! You have peace of mind. You are spiritually balanced and you live in the loving presence of God. Can you see it in your mind? Do you feel it? You have no worries. No problems. Your heart is full. Now whisper these words:

1. I release myself from a scarcity mentality.
2. I love myself and appreciate myself.
3. I have the power to create wealth.
4. I have deep connections with people and I add value to their lives and them to mine.
5. I deserve to give and receive fulfilling love.
6. I am a joy magnet.
7. I am a seven-generation wealth creator.
8. I am prosperous. I have hope and a bright future.

Digest it! Believe it! Walk in it! This is your new reality. Welcome, you are now on a transformational journey.

We are in this together, you are not alone, things must get better, until next time, I leave you with this juicy quote from Dr. Wisdom, I mean Dr. Charles Ray, “Wherever you go and everyone that you meet understand that you are always on stage!”

 

 

Imagine yourself hungry and then imagine yourself with all of your family at the dinner table with all your favorite food.  Laughter is in the air.  Everyone is eating, re-connecting, and loving on each other. In this moment, you feel 360 degrees of fullness.  It is a moment of abundance.

 

This is the feeling I began describing in my last blog post when I attended the Speak and Write 2016 conference.  I shared some of my breakthrough out loud moments and I will continue from where I left off.

 

Next, the woman of the hour Lisa Nichols took the stage, she came standing in power!  From head to toe, she is beautiful, stylishly clad, and radiating abundance.  She shared a fascinating story of how she invested in her own dreams.  For three and a half years, she wrote herself a check every two weeks and on the memo line, she wrote funding my dream.

 

Even without complete clarity about how her dream would unfold, she continued to save.  Lisa focused on her hunger to buy her freedom and transform her life from average to abundant.  She made sacrifices, sold her car, lived with a roommate, became a hermit, in order to write a bigger check to herself.  What she discovered after three years shocked her.  “When I went into the bank for my balance, the tellers were excited because they had never seen me before.  I had always mailed in my checks,” she said smiling.  “They called me the Funding my Dream lady.”

The teller wrote the balance on a piece of paper and showed it to Lisa. With disbelief, Lisa told her the amount is a mistake, since no one in her family had even saved $10,000. Lisa invited her mother to join her on stage and with her arms around her, she told the audience, “The teller happily advised me that I saved, $62,500!” She took radical action and became her very first investor for a business that would soon transform the lives of millions.

 

At that point, I am clearly impressed. She challenged us with this statement, “You are your own hook-up!” BOOM! That right there is reason for pause; I needed to meditate on the words for a bit. I am experiencing a Breakthrough Out Loud moment or for the purposes of social media #BOL.

 

Lisa’s intention is to build holistically abundant people and transform them in the areas of relationship, finance, career, and spirituality. For example, why should I accept just having great fiscal responsibility but at the same time, I am living with broken relationships? Oh no, at the end of the conference, she planned to release an army of holistic unicorns back into their chaotic reality to shift it.

 

There were multiple valuable lessons, like how to outline a book in twenty minutes. Yes twenty minutes with publishers on site who guaranteed international bestseller status. So if anyone had a book in them, someone could help them get it out. One author explained that writing a book brings an instant expert status, almost like a glorified business card.

 

One activity required us to practice saying no, in order to overcome rejection. They showed us how to create our SNAP. It is what others call the Elevator Pitch. They also showed us how to incorporate the DIP theory into our stories.

 

This theory is why my girlfriend wanted me to attend the conference. She heard Lisa talk about it online, and I had trouble sharing the various dips in my life. The DIP is when an individual introduces himself or herself as they are in the present moment. Then describe a time when he or she hit rock bottom and how they got out. After the definition, Lisa instructed the audience to break up into groups of threes. In two minutes, each person had to share his or her DIP. Obviously, I had difficulty with this exercise… First off, I did not want to do it and then when I did, I could not get out of the valley and so I ran out of time. This became the beginning of another #BOL for me and I am certain others in the audience experienced the same thing.

 

 

It turned out that getting great content meant no one in the audience wanted to leave for breaks. I witnessed people hurrying to the bathroom to rush back into the session. They barely took lunch breaks. With each passing day, I could feel the emptiness filling up— to the overflow. But by the end of Day 2, it felt like drinking water from the hose of a fire truck. On one occasion, I even exited the room, sat in the lobby, and took deep breaths for a few minutes to process. But I went back.

 

Two significant encounters began to shift my paradigm. One I will discuss now and the other in my next blog. In an early morning session, I met Dr. Ray; my term of endearment for him is Dr. Wisdom. When he spoke, every single word came forth like flowing olive oil of wisdom. One thing he said struck me. “I tried to fit into different boxes but realized I could not because there were so many sides of me. How could I be uniquely me in an already created job? I found out that I could create my ideal position without eliminating any of my experience, training, strengths, and passions. So I did,” he said. I had to meet this man.

 

I also wanted to meet coach Erica who talked about transitions. After the panel discussion, as I joined the line to meet Erica. I began filling out a connection card. My hand began to shake, but I did not know why. As I told my girlfriend, I noticed Dr. Wisdom is freed up. I sprung to my feet and introduced myself by sharing my DIP. He looked straight into my soul and said, this is what you will do, and he names it. He said, “I have never heard that before, have you?” I nodded, no. It just came to him, right there. In that moment, all my trembling stopped and I stood there in peace. With tears in my eyes, I walked away in silence, pondering my new truth.

 

How could I unpack the specifics of my new path? That answer came later when I bumped into Dr. Wisdom again and he offered to coach me with an execution strategy. Mind fully blown! Heart and eyes continued to overflow! I am getting solid help and moving with it. Chapter two of life, here I come.

 

Like me, you can climb out of your DIP? We are in this together, until next time, Happy Thanksgiving! I am truly thankful for you and you and you.

Greatness is in you and me. It is in all of us. Sometimes you can feel it in your mind. Sometimes you feel it floating around in your chest. Then there are other times when life beats your down or other people speak their negative beliefs about you, that makes you forget how greatness feels. Close your eyes and see the greatness that you feel. Then with the feeling and the vision, say from your lips seven times, “I was born for something greater than myself.” Now own it, stand in it and walk in it from this day forward.

 

UMMMMMMMMM

I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. (John 14:12)

 

 

 

 

August 29th, I entered a new decade.  As mentioned in the previous post, the experience felt like making direct contact with rock bottom.  It is a place I have been before and can I tell you, I hated it! Yet, the skill to climb out of the bottom and back to the top made me a more informed person on the other side of that valley.  As you know, I turned the big four O.  Here is a sidebar if you did not know this fact…  Michael Jackson and I share birthdays!!! AOWW!

Now back to the story.  In the months leading up to my birthday and even the months that followed, I began to assess my life and listen to the whisper asking the question, “What did your four decades produce for the next generation?” Ouch!

I knew there had to be a transition but I did not know how to get there.  So, I stayed put in daily discomfort. Maybe I lacked the faith to leap.  Or simply unwilling to drastically disrupt or subject my family to hardship. Or some might say, I did not take the time to figure out the possibilities. I would say, maybe all of the above.

The Yellow Brick Road towards my next chapter, like the one Dorothy and her friends travelled in the The Wizard of OZ, for me it came in the form of a conference. My best friend from high school gave me a ticket to “Speak and Write to make millions 2016” in downtown Atlanta.  If you know me like she does, you know that this was the perfect gift!  Why?  Well, I love getting good information that I can apply.  I love capturing stories.  I love writing and I speak in images.  I have a passion for these things, for as long as I can remember.

Before arriving at the conference, I assumed I would learn to write a book and find my voice for public speaking… the end.  Little did I know, that it would be an experience of a lifetime!  I learned later that the conference was designed to put the people in attendance, back in touch with themselves on a holistic level.

Not only did my girlfriend get me a ticket, she literally got herself one just to make sure that I attended because she had bigger dreams for me than I did for myself.  She has been bugging me for years to write in my voice, just write a book. Baby steps, at least I started this blog.  My girlfriend is also seeking transition.  Her focus was searching for how to make a transition into entrepreneurship.  “People have transitioned,” she would always say, “I want to do it and I don’t think it is necessary to reinvent the wheel.  We find the person, we connect with them, and we will find the formula.”  A smart girl right, yes she is worth keeping around.

On the morning of the conference, us girls carpooled 45 minutes to the beautiful Marriott Marquis.  Inside, I saw a sign at the top of the escalator that was meant to guide us to the event.  Instead, it stopped me in my tracks—there stood a large poster of a woman with prayer hands and eyes closed.  She was African American with natural hair, but the sepia tones of her image exuded warmth, peace, and power.  I knew nothing about her so I wondered, how did she get here? My girlfriend, on the other hand, follows her on periscope and other social media platforms.  She secretly dreamed that I would meet this woman, but never said a word to me.

The Speak and Write to make millions conference is an annual event ran by the organization, Motivating the Masses.  The woman on the picture I later found out is Lisa Nichols, the CEO of the company and a global transformational speaker.

At registration, we bumped into a sea of people and a sea of questions came rolling in my mind.  What is attracting so many followers to her?  Is she some celebrity I should know?  Scanning the crowd, it had to be more than 500 people.  So all these people think they have a story to tell?  Hmm. Interesting.

When the doors opened, the crowd rushed in like the electric energy inside the hall pulled them in.  My girlfriend and I found our seats. Every chair had a clapper.  Like eager students, we had notepads and workbooks in hand ready to learn.

First thing on screen is an inspirational video about living your best life and inside your great big dream.  Then came another video from prolific speaker Sekou Andrew about the power of speaking and writing.  Here is a tiny excerpt of his spoken word:

“First you speak and write to make movement.  Move your community to access their power!  Move the mind of your students and crack open their visions.  You must speak and write to make mindsets right!”

Can you tell, it started out with a bang? YES YES every word spoken served to motivate the masses to soar above challenges, systemic barriers, and even themselves!  Next on stage was a live performance by Lakeisha Michelle who added the sweet syrup of her songs on already motivated hearts and minds.

I began to think, nice motivation, little did I know that it was only going up from there. YES, YES!  All the way up!  Next to grace us with her presence was the bubbly Susie Carder, President, and COO of Motivating the Masses.  Right off the bat, she said, “This is the place to find your next business partners, next associate, next investor, next best friend.”  I began to realize that clarity for our next level was actually on the agenda here.  Susie shared proudly that her gift is making money and lots of it!  Like, growing seven multi-million dollar businesses, with triple digit growth and selling her business for $15 million many years ago.  And this current company she brags of it being one of the first African America female owned businesses to go public.  You go girl!

It became very clear to me that this was not a fun and games kinda conference. In fact, thousands joined from all over the world on Livestream.  Since she is the money woman, she began teaching us how to create multiple revenue streams and making sure a business is holistically mapped out to garner success.  Every business she teaches needs to be armed with operational plans, financial plans, marketing plans, sales plans, in order to create a roadmap for success.  We went pass Business 101, straight to Advanced Business.  Literally, she presented every possible strategy to ensure everyone achieves his or her maximum success potential.

Can I tell you that blew my mind!  Here I am sitting in the presence of greatness.  People who are unicorns!  People who are seeking nothing but success and the speakers are literally showing and telling us, how to achieve it?  Are you kidding me?  Who does that?  Leaders who rise above their own bottom-line and share the successful pillars that built their company.  What leader today shares real insider secrets and actually believes there is enough abundance for all of us, instead of fearing they will get less if we know the secret?  I could not believe a tribe, a community like this exists.

Susie conducts a quick survey by asking the audience to raise their hands.  In the room are entrepreneurs, college graduates, educators, accountants, leaders in corporate America, non-profit leaders, media people, aspiring leaders, and aspiring public speakers.  ALL seeking clarity and the strategy to transition to their next level.

What about you?  Where are you in the journey?  Lost, confused, or completely clear, join me next week for more downloads from this amazing, life-defining conference.

3. Are you seeing how the next generation is better off because of all that you have accomplished in the last 20 years of your life?
4. Are your relationships full of life?
5. Are you satisfied and content?

If not you are not alone, so no judgment here, I pray today that we will find the abundance that is available to all of us in this life.  May every area of our lives be enriching, flourishing and bring complete satisfaction.

Ummmmmmmmm

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.  I will advise you and watch over you. (Psalm 32:8)
