No Money to Start a Business

No Worries; All You Need Is You!

Things to Do Today.  Start Your Own Business!

No Money To Start a Business

Okay so you are excited and pumped up and ready to start your own home based business.  And you realize that you have no money to start a business. That’s okay, because you don’t need any money to start your empire. All you need is you, your gifts and your great skill set.

You might be limited to a strict budget when you want to start a business, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have any options. It is possible to start a business with very little money, if you have the right combination of skills, work ethic and marketing know-how.

According to Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup, “To succeed in a business project, especially one you’re excited about, it helps to think carefully about all the skills you have that could be helpful to others and particularly about the combination of those skills.”

Follow these simple guidelines to start a business when you have little to no money. Learn how to make money today.

1. Make something.
Yes, making something does take an initial cost in supplies, but oftentimes, these products can be sold for many times over their actual cost. What you decide to make is up to you, but there are several places you can sell your handmade options online:

Abe’s Market deals in natural and organic goods, such as lotions, candles, granola, and more.

Etsy is one of the largest online markets for almost anything homemade, from jewelry to wooden toys for kids.

Bonanza is another growing handmade marketplace, similar to Etsy. According to PC World, it boasts over 10 million visits per month.

eBay is one of the biggest online ecommerce marketplaces in the world, and its streamlined store options, easy checkout through Paypal, and customizable listing options make it a great choice for selling items.

Many business owners sell their products on multiple platforms to get the most exposure possible. It is important, however, to make sure your inventory stays updated on all sites you have a storefront on. If you want to learn about more resources for selling homemade items, check out this Lifehacker post.

2. Resell something.
If you don’t want to make anything (or you don’t consider yourself a creative person), many business owners have grown large businesses just be reselling products that have already been made. This can be done through a variety of ways or channels:

Drop shipping: Set up an online store and partner with drop-shipping companies that will do all the order fulfillment for you. Online ecommerce platform Shopify has a great drop shipping guide, and Tim Ferriss does a good job of explaining drop shipping in his well-known book, The Four Hour Work Week.

Thrift stores and garage sales: If you know where to look, you can find items at thrift stores, antique shops, flea markets and garage sales and resell them online or in your local community for more than you purchased them for. One extremely successful example of this is Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal. Amoruso started buying and reselling vintage and unique fashion pieces on eBay, and her company has grown to a net income of $24 million in 2011 with over 200 employees. Her book, #GIRLBOSS, is in inspiring look into how she got started.

3. Sell your services.
One way to start a business with little to no startup capital is to sell your services, instead of a physical product. There’s a huge variety of services you can offer, depending on your background and interests.

Related: Starting a Business? When to Scrimp vs. Splurge.

Some will require advanced degrees, such as accounting, while others require little more than a working knowledge of how it’s done (such as babysitting, lawn mowing or personal assistance).

success, goals, dreams, aspirations, inspiration

Because you are selling your services, you will need a branding plan to make sure your name and company gets in front of the people who may need the service. Some places that are free for promoting your services include Fiverr, Craigslist, Elance, Taskrabbit and Skillshare.

It’s also useful to have a website to show examples of your work, list your experience, and blog about your industry to draw visitors. If you want to learn more about branding and online marketing, check out Buffer’s social-media blog, Hubspot’s blog, Content Marketing Institute and CopyPress.

4. Barter to get what you need.
Unfortunately, it’s extremely hard to start a business without any type of funds at all. Even creating a freelance-writing business utilizing Elance and a free WordPress or Wix website will still require a computer to work on as well as Internet. However, there are ways to get supplies you need for starting your business without money.

For instance, if you find yourself in need of a used laptop, try to barter for it. Build a new website for a used electronics supplier, or offer babysitting services to your neighbor for their old Macbook.

5. Utilize low-cost services.
As mentioned previously, you can use sites such as Fiverr or Elance to advertise your products and services on, but you can also use these platforms to build up your own company. For instance, many designers offer $5 to $25 logo designs (that come with free revisions). Sort by reviews and look at past examples to find a designer or service provider that matches your style.

This is a great way to get branding materials, printed items (Vistaprint and Zazzle are great places to buy personalized items), or other needed items without much cost. And for additional savings, be sure to look for coupon codes on sites such as RetailMeNot before checking out at any online retailer!

Starting a business requires ingenuity and a passion for what you are doing. Once you find yourself doing something you enjoy, you will be more likely to find ways to make it all come together.

Have a Happy Saturday Women of Wealth

Saturday is the Perfect Day for Small Business Marketing and More!

Have a Happy Saturday Women of Wealth

Good Day Women of Wealth,

Happy Saturday and blessings to you!

How are you doing God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs?

And how is your business coming along? Are you thriving and enjoying great success?

Are you embracing the abundance that is flowing into your life? I sure hope so!

I’m in my home office on this hot and steamy Saturday. I live in the City of Brotherly love and it is hot and humid here today. It’s been this way for the most of the Summer.

As some of you may know, I am working on my own little projects and hope to have them all completed by the end of August. Today is August 6th and I need to step up my game big time.

My daughter and her family are here from England and I’ve had to slow down on business bits just a bit. When Monday comes I will be back in full force fulfilling orders and completing my daily tasks.

Last week I had orders for my new hair grease. I did that and now I will be working on my new Autumn line.

At the moment I am taking a break from cleaning my house. There is a lot to do when it comes to maintaining a home. I love it though.

In this blog post, I want to talk about entrepreneurship and how you can prosper and make more money.

As a small business owner and female entrepreneur, I have been met with many challenges along my entrepreneurial journey. The lessons have been many and I am sincerely grateful. Why? Because these lessons have taught me what to do and what not to do as a business owner.

Through it all I research anything that I think would be of help to me as I am constantly and consistently trying to grow my business. It may not be super easy, but I love being a female entrepreneur.

I get a thrill out of being my own boss.

My work schedule, as well as my home schedule work extremely well for me because I put the perfect plan in place.

Although, my phone steadily rings with texts and calls, I have finally learned how to balance it all.

I have a daily routine that is conducive to my work schedule.

In the morning I spend time with God and His living Word. I give Him thanks even before I go to my office because I am expecting great things to take place each day that He mercifully and graciously awakens me. Everything I do is for God’s glory.

Goal writing I love, but to be perfectly honest, I don’t always write down my goals for the day. Even I think it is vital that we pen our goals, I don’t always stick to this rule for myself. That’s because my dreams, goals, visions and business plans and concepts are embedded in my mind and heart. Still, I should be writing down my goals everyday.

Business plans are important to every woman who calls herself an entrepreneur or business owner.

Now to help me to promote and prosper my business I use Canva to design my marketing materials. Canva is an amazing tool that can help you to create videos and graphic design for your business. It is awesome for small businesses. They have a myriad of templates to choose from. You can make them your own and blow your business out of the water. I have been using Canva for years and they just keep getting better and better.

They offer a variety of fonts, colors for branding and every other design for business marketing.

I hope you check them out. You may find that they are exactly what you need to help you to promote your small business.

When it comes to social media I have incorporated Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest into my business to help grow my business. However, there is something missing and that missing something is in me. When Holy Spirit reveals it to me I will let you know. I feel it in my spirit and I am beyond excited to receive it.

Let’s talk a little about Facebook. Facebook works well for me. I could do even better if I took time to promote my businesses there, but for now, word-of-mouth is doing great and I am thankful.

Ladies, it is my hope that your businesses are flourishing and growing to your fullest potential and beyond.

Whatever works for you do it. It doesn’t have to be what everyone else is doing. I have created my own avenues of riches, wealth and abundance using my own unique business strategies and it just works for me. That’s God. He blesses the works of my hands.

God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs, do your thing. Make it your own. Be authentic and take your business places no business has ever gone before.

Lovely Ladies, please have a very happy and tremendously blessed Saturday.

Have a Happy Saturday Women of Wealth

I am off to Chop House with my family for dinner before my daughter and her family fly back over the pond after their visit to America. She misses home, but loves England and the United Kingdom just as much.

Have a Happy Saturday Women of Wealth!

Blessings ladies,

Cynthia

 

 

 

Today Is A Great Day To Start A Business

How To Leave Your Corporate Job To Start A Business

How To Leave Your Corporate Job To Start A Business

According to Google’s latest search data, “how to start a business” beat “how to get a job” in Google search queries in 2021. This information comes from Google’s “Year in Search,” which features data from the last year broken down into a list of trends by category. It appears that while millions of Americans are quitting their jobs in search of higher salaries, many of them are doing so in the hopes of becoming their own bosses.

Government data supports this trend. U.S. Census Bureau figures reveal that Americans submitted a record 5.4 million business applications in 2021—the highest in almost 20 years. Moreover, applications are on track to be even higher this year. So, if you are thinking about going from corporate life to being self-employed, you’re not alone.

The pandemic has presented many opportunities for would-be entrepreneurs. But, of course, the transition to being an entrepreneur is not an easy one. Working for yourself may give you the freedom to choose your own lifestyle, but then again, you aren’t relying on a steady paycheck. So, if you are thinking of quitting to start a business, here are some key considerations to make the leap successfully.

Start a business you are passionate about

Starting a business is like having a baby. Not only is there never really a “right” time, but it also requires a lot of planning, preparation, and dedication. There are going to be ups and downs. You’ll even have days when you are pulling your hair out thinking, “did I do the right thing?” But if the passion is there, it will help you through those rough spots. If you’re going to make a giant leap, it should be to do something that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Then, when you find yourself involved in an activity that feeds your soul and leverages your strengths, you’ll know you are on the right track.

Start a business for the right reasons

Some people are destined to be entrepreneurs. Maybe you love variety, calling the shots, and building something from nothing. Or you dream about pursuing your passion while having more flexibility and leaving behind a legacy you can be proud of. And then, of course, there is financial independence. But if you want to start a business because you hate your job, despise your boss or want to get famous, it’s probably a good idea to reconsider entrepreneurship.

Know what you don’t know

One of the keys to being a successful entrepreneur is leveraging your strengths and finding resources to supplement your weaknesses. You cannot do everything yourself. Even as a solopreneur, you will need to rely on freelancers, interns or other assistance to get the business up and running. Another suggestion is to find trusted advisors, coaches or mentors that can provide valuable guidance and feedback along the way. Find people whom you would like to emulate. A mentor or coach can help hold you accountable while giving you the support and confidence you need to continue moving forward.

Start slow but think big

Starting a business requires planning and dedication. Allow yourself at least 12 months to prepare your exit strategy. Ideally, you will want to start your business as a side hustle while still employed. Take time to get to know your target audience. If possible, conduct formal or informal market research. This approach will reduce your risk and give you more time to validate your business idea.

Financially prepare to start a business

It’s no secret that most small businesses fail within the first five years. But a study by U.S. Bank found that 82% of the time, poor cash flow management contributes to that failure. So before you make the transition, sit down with your accountant or advisor to review your financial situation. Having a healthy cash reserve will help you through the inevitable peaks and valleys that come with entrepreneurship. The amount of money you set aside will depend on your industry, expenses, and when you expect to begin generating income. You will also want to choose a legal structure, register your business, get federal and tax IDs and open a business bank account.

If you want to start a business, there is no better time than the present. You can benefit from the surge in entrepreneurship to network with other potential small business owners. Chances are, you are also working remotely, which gives you added flexibility. As Steve Jobs said, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

How To Live Your Passion Every Day

Doing What You Love For The Glory of The Lord

How To Live Your Passion Every Day

How to live your passion everyday using the Power within you.

I am an entrepreneur who loves using God’s gift to bring Glory to God.

If you’re like me you will want to do God’s will. You’ll be overjoyed when you are doing God’s will and executing His plan for you.

As women entrepreneurs you have the skill set and mind to do phenomenal works.

Your creativity is just one of your many gifts from God. How are you using your gifts to honor the Lord. Will you show God how much you appreciate Him giving you the mindset to introduce to the world your products or services?

Wherever you are in life at this moment, you should be using your gifts with passion and faith. Be confident in your abilities to change your life. Your passion can send you soaring to new heights. What are you waiting for?

Creating Your Crafts With Passion 

Creating a brilliant company is super easy with the right tools and resources.

Here’s my story.

My creativity is an integral part of who I am as a servant of the good Lord.  Great and wonderful is He. 

God is awesome and so truly amazing. I love to share my gifts, creativity and special skills with other people. I want others to see just how much He richly blesses me. 

Through all that I am able to accomplish with His Holy Spirit living on the inside of me my passion soars.

God’s Holy Spirit is always working to help me in some way in my life. In all the ways that He helps me He shows me that I have the power to get wealth.

Working as a Christian and inspirational artist, I am amazed when the Holy Spirit speaks to me. He tells me when it’s time to create a gorgeous masterpiece. 

When He prompts me to make a unique masterpiece I heed His wise counsel.  I heed His every word and I wisely use His instructions to design whatever He lays on the table of my heart.

How To Live Your Passion Everyday and Enjoy Success and Prosperity

I am also a poetess.  I love writing for the Lord and about the Lord.  It seems that when I am awakened by the blast from the Lord’s nostrils, I am awakened to a new poem with words lovingly flowing from my heart, I begin to write which usually occurs on Saturday and Sunday mornings for some reason.  I love it and I live my life for the Lord thy God.  It is He who gives me the power to get my wealth and a wealth of creativity and talent lives on the inside of me.

My passion burns deep inside me.  It is the fuel and heartbeat of my life that pours over into my business.

If you’re passionate about the gifts God has given you, you should be building a strong foundation on which you can stand and be proud of.  If you’re in business and you’re doing what you love it will make it that much easier for your business to grow and prosper.

To God be all the glory!

 

Whose Playing On Your Team

Kobe Bryant Was One of the Greatest To Play The Game of Basketball and He Knew His Teammates Well

Whose playing on your team

Over the years the Los Angeles Lakers have enjoyed many championships.

Talk about a winning team. There seems to be something special about Laker Nation!

They have been victorious for many years. This is just a part of their tradition it seems.

I also believe that the main reason for their long lasting success is that the entire organization knows what they are doing. Furthermore, they know how to run a successful business while building prospering teams every season.

From the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers to the general manager and coaches, they know what it takes to win games.

The chemistry is hot and the players are definitely highly skilled.

Most of them have above basketball IQ’s and that’s exactly what it takes to be victorious year after year.  

Their unique skill sets compliment one another and harmoniously they play in rhythm like an orchestra that makes amazing music.

When Magic and Kareem, Kobe and Shaq played together they were blessed and highly favored.

Do you know whose playing on your team

Women in business have a brilliant way of creating powerful teams that know exactly how to run a business.

Let me get right to the point.

Each person on your team gets assigned specific tasks depending on the knowledge and skill set.

Those tasks must be completed in a timely and professional manner.

I cannot begin to stress enough to you the importance of not just completing the tasks at hand, but to work together to get things done. This is the master key to wealth, success, riches and prosperity. 

While your team members are working together to ensure your success, you can then focus on all the other things that help you to keep the foundation of your business standing.

Also, it is equally important to put time to each task required because just as quickly as these duties have been completed, more will be forth coming or waiting on the next list of things to do.

And when you, a phenomenal, kind and patient boss and entrepreneur use your authority to command your team members to work diligently and consistently, reward them generously because they are a part of your remarkable winning team.

When you are good to your team members, they will go the extra mile to make sure that you are victorious.

So when you are choosing your team members make sure that you get the right pick be it in the first round pick or the 3rd round pick, just know who it is that will be playing on your team.

Will it be an outstanding dedicated persistent consistent team player who you can trust to pass the ball to every time you need to score? Do you know whose playing on your team?

Giving God the Glory,

Cyndi

Making Money as an Affiliate Marketer

How to Get Started Making Money as an Affiliate Marketer

Making Money as an Affiliate Marketer

Evan Weber, CEO
Author: Evan Weber, CEO | Filed Under Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Resources

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. There are affiliates who are making thousands per month by promoting other companies on their websites or through online advertising venues. But it can also be a nice way to generate additional income via your websites or blogs. Affiliate marketing is still growing and getting bigger as an industry every year as more people get into the game. There are definitely proven strategies to becoming a successful affiliate, which we will be bringing you in the near future.

The first step in becoming an affiliate is determining what product, company, or services to promote. There are some companies/niches who are easier to promote than others. Think about a topic you know about and enjoy already, therefore it will easier to create content and articles about it. Some examples of topics include: dating, dieting, electronics, costumes, parenting, sports, cell phones…topics like this. Once you have picked a topic, it’s time to determine who makes the product that might have an affiliate program for their site. Think of brand names and put “INSERT BRAND NAME HERE affiliate program” into Google to find “in-house” affiliate programs. Make sure that they have an affiliate program but do not yet sign up for it. You may want to go direct with a merchant if they have their own on-site affiliate program, otherwise you can go through a major affiliate network to access banners and links to promote a particular merchant. This is a personal choice, but you can get higher commissions by going directly to a company many times.

The second step involves having a website/blog and web hosting. There are many different web hosting companies on the Internet and most will provide an adequate space to launch your affiliate career. Your domain name should be related to the products that you are promoting. Do not use any brand names or product names within the domain name, as most companies don’t allow this. When you go to apply for the affiliate program they may reject you as well as file a complaint with your web host to recover the domain name. Setup a website that is related to the topic and place some type of content on it. Blogs are a great way to show you are serious about becoming an affiliate. Placing three to five blogs with related content on the website will make whoever is approving applications much more interested. But be realistic with how many sites or blogs you can comfortably maintain. There are also many free blog platforms like Blogger, WordPress, and other that you can host a free site on, so no money needs to be expended unless you want your own domain name.

The third step is submitting your application. Some affiliate programs are run by the company themselves while others will be on large networks known as affiliate networks. Some of the largest include Commission Junction, Link Share, Shareasale and Google Network. These affiliate networks provide the platform that is used to track all the clicks and sales that affiliates generate. Also, they have specially trained staff ready to answer your questions (if you can get them to respond!). When you fill out an application include your website, name and email address. Also, include a valid phone number. Some affiliate programs want to speak with you to ensure you understand their product and also to sent you important instructions before promoting their products. Most affiliate programs process their applications each and every business day. If you do not receive an email notifying you of their decision within three business days, call the company and respectfully inquire about the status of your application. Be proactive with your affiliate managers. Many companies use outsourced affiliate managers which specializing working with affiliates.

Step 4 is actually starting your promotions. Once you have a site or blog live and the affiliate banners installed, you can not start crafting content and articles on your site that talk generally about the niche. Many affiliates create coupon code websites that feature unique merchant descriptions which get into the organic search results and can bring in visitors. Adding tons of fresh content to your site/blog is definitely the way to go to get more pages into the search engines. One you publisher your new articles you can then “bookmark” them to sites like: Digg, delicious, and others which gets them more traffic as well. Also joining article directories like ezinearticles.com as an author can get your articles ranking quickly in Google. They let you link to your main site at the bottom of the article which can bring in visitors and inbound links. Like anything, you have to article production in heavy volume to attain a lot of organic traffic. There are also other great ways to promote as an affiliate which we will covering soon, so check back frequently…Thanks!

One Way To Stay Consistent As A Female Entrepreneur

 

 

Being Consistent Is Important For Success

One way to stay consistent as a female entrepreneur is to well, be consistent.

Having an online business is one thing and having a successful online business is a completely different story.

What does a successful online business look like to you?  Do you know what it really takes to have a lucrative business, be it online or offline?

One way to have a successful online business is to stay consistent with the system you have in place. That system should include great networking and marketing plans. 

It is also important for you to be build relationships with other female entrepreneurs. There is nothing like supporting other women in business.

When I started out in business I was never consistent. I was all over the map, but as time went on the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said, slow down!

I cannot make any excuses for having fallen off to the wayside in business.

You see, God had and still gives me everything that I need to have abundant success as a woman entrepreneur.

I was not always consistent or obedient when He was guiding and instructing me on the path He had laid exclusively for me.

Having the power to get wealth, God clothed me with wisdom and knowledge. However, the vast knowledge He bestowed upon me wasn’t always accompanied with understanding.

Slowly and surely understanding came to me as I began to work consistently. It was then that the pieces to the puzzles began to perfectly fall in place. 

 One Way To Stay Consistent, Focused and Committed

One Way To Stay Consistent As A Female Entrepreneur

One way I have learned to stay consistent as a female entrepreneur is to stay focused.

Once you have made up your mind to be stay focused and be committed to your goals you will find that your business will soar.

As a Christian women business owner, it is vital that you balance your day-to-day schedule by being focused.

You should know that you don’t have to accomplish a million goals in one day. If you have too much on your plate, remove the least important goals and work on them at a later date.

Write down your goals. List them one by one completing your most significant goals first.

Second, study your list and give them all a description to be reminded how you will achieve them. Let them sink into your mind and allow them to be rooted in your heart. This is how your business will take root and really grow!

Implement your money goals to ensure that you are making the kind of money that you need and want.

In doing all of these things your focus will become crystal clear. Being consistent in business will make you more motivated than ever before.

Blessings to you,

Cynthia

How To Start A Life-Changing Business

How To Start a Life-Changing Business Is Easy When You Have The Right Tools

How To Start A Life-Changing Business

How to start a life-changing business is super easy when you have the right tools. Before starting any business you need faith, your gifts, talents and skill set. Of course you need other things and we will dig deeper throughout this post.

If you want to be a successful woman entrepreneur now is the most perfect time for you to share your gifts with the world.

Starting a business is easy, but starting a life-changing business is, well, life-changing.

When I started Moms in Slippers in 2002, it was really easy.  Easy because I incorporated my talent and my skill set into building it. 

I typed quickly and accurately.  The competition wasn’t as it is now.  I remember starting my typing/secretarial business and opening the doors in anticipation to building a highly successful empire, but owning a typing business does not equate to building an empire. Or so I thought.  And now looking back, if I knew then what I know now, I could have added a bevy of services to Magic Fingers Secretarial Services. 

For instance, I am now proficient in WordPress and I love it using it as my platform for most of my blogs and websites.  It can be difficult to learn, but it’s super easy to navigate once you’ve mastered it.  It is then that you look back and say to yourself, wow, how easy was this!

Also, when I was typing for various companies and business owners, I had the knowledge to grow my typing business with my graphic design skills.  Over the years I’ve learned so much from myself and from the world around me.

When you have made up your mind to start your own business you need a pen and pad to write out all of your business plans.  This will be the guide to help you to navigate as you take the steps to building up a highly profitable and greatly successful business.  A business that will give you the ability to make a lot of money.  Don’t ever be ashamed to say that you want to make money.  I used to be so ashamed to admit I was in business to make money.  This was an enormous downfall for me, but now I’m soaring beyond mountains equipped with the power to always grown my bank account as I work towards consistently growing every one of my businesses.  I enjoy working all of the businesses under the umbrella I created with God’s help.

Let us delve into how you’re going to start, build, grow and manage your business.

First, let’s start with this question.  Please have a clean document on your computer or a pen and journal/pad in your lap, desk or in your hands. 

  1. What special gift(s) do you possess? Is there passion attached to your gift?
  2.  What is your unique skill set?
  3.  What one dream has consumed you so much so that you cannot stop dreaming/thinking about it no matter what you are doing?
  4. Have you ever used your special gifts to help someone else and now you’re asking yourself how you can possibly start your own business with this gift that is exclusive to you? Exclusive to you because you have a long list that keeps growing and you know you need to do something with it.
  5.  Does, what you truly believe, is your God-given gift resonate with your spirit?

Please be completely honest in your answers.  These questions will be your compass to lead and guide you with a strong commitment and promise to yourself as you now, right now, work towards achieving your goals. 

Once, you’ve answered the above questions to your honest ability, we can begin laying the steps to the foundation for your business. Take all the time you need.  This is your business which means this involves your life.  It’s an exciting time so take your time.  There’s is never a need to rush.  When we rush, we make mistakes. 

Your Name Brand

Okay, you’ve taken all the time you need to answer the business success building questions.  You know and understand your gifts and now you need a phenomenal name for your business.  Some call it a domain name and I call it YOUR NAME BRAND.

When I founded my businesses, my name brands were given to me in ways no one could have ever imagined.  Each of my names came to me in ways that would guarantee my success (and if I did my part by being consistent and working my business like I loved my business).  Looking back on how my business names were presented to me along with God’s perfect timing, I have to tell you that I am in awe and now realize that they all came from the Holy Spirit.

For example; the name Magic Fingers came from my former boss at my last job as program coordinator.  He always called me Magic Fingers.  A few of my other business names came from me talking to my husband when the Holy Spirit entered into our conversation and gave me the business concept, model and name. I am still amazed and still working to incorporate each business under Cynthia G. Boyer.  I finally learned that the best way for me to build and prosper my brand was to put everything that I was doing under one big colorful umbrella and because they are all relative it just works and makes sense.
