Systems in Place

For a Successful Business,

Plan to Have A Great System

As you prepare to write out your business plan you must have a system in place as brilliant as you. Depending on the kind of business you plan to incorporate into your life you must have everything you need before your big launch.

Let’s Explore with Examples

Let’s say you’re going to start a Cricut Crafting Business. You should already have in your mind the various crafts you plan to create, design and sell. Transfer those thoughts, visions, dreams and goals to paper. Write them down. Sketch them if necessary. Now think about the tools and accessories you will need to purchase to make your crafts.

Start a spreadsheet to list your items. and then transfer your thoughts to paper.

Your Brilliant Brand’s Domain Name

Dot.com, net, biz, or info or tv.

As you put the pieces together to start your business, you want to make things as simple and easy as possible. Starting a business does not have to be complicated.

Here’s how to choose a domain name

Dot.com, net or biz, etc.

I like .com because it is easy, but any extension will work just fine.

Brief and to the point.

Enough spoken.

Easy to remember, say and spell.

You will want a domain name that is easy for your target audience to remember, say and spell.

No hyphens required.

You never want to use hyphens in your domain because it makes it difficult to type. You want to keep things simple for your potential customers.

Use a list of keywords; if not in your name at least in your slogan.

You should think about using your own name and adding a slogan that speaks volumes about what you offer and/or provide.

Now Is The Time; Or Is It

Is This Your Time To Soar To Your Destiny

When I entered into corporate America in 1990 I quickly realized that it was not a good fit for me for various reasons, the number one factor being I could not utilize my God-given gifts and my oh my did and do I love using my gifts to glorify God. He gave me my gifts for a reason which is part of His plan for me. I am grateful.

When I left corporate America in 2002, I decided that from that moment on I was going to work at home for myself. It was then that I began my very short lived typing/secretarial business. I immediately found myself jumping all over the map because there has always been a reservoir flowing inside of me and I needed to get it all out at the same and that was an enormous mistake from which I gleaned my success. With so much to share with women who were/are just like me I began a journey that would lead to nowhere ( all my fault). I started a graphic design business. I wrote children’s books. I took a coaching course and became certified. I started a gift basket business and too many more to name and list here.

Fast Forward; Not My Time Yet

When my father went on dialysis I had to do everything humanly possible with all the power available to me to help him and my mother. When he passed I had to then help my mother. When she started to decline very slowly I took care of her. She moved into our home and I became her caregiver for 16 years.

During the time of me giving my mother my life I really could not delve deep into my business to give it the attention it truly deserved, but not one time did I stop planning and writing. When my mother died a few months ago it was really difficult to get moving in my life and in my business. I found myself chained to the bed. It just wasn’t time for me to go back to work for myself.

Now Is The Time. God’s Time; My Time.

Here it is the beginning of December and I’m working part time, full time and overtime in my business and let me tell you I am delighted and beyond excited as I prepare to launch my new skincare product Beauty and the Face, Love for the Skin, Luxury in a Jar! It has been a longtime coming and well worth the wait for me and I hope for all my potential customers. It’s funny how Beauty and the Face has evolved. I started a blog about seven years ago and I never thought in ten million years that I would be handcrafting butter for the body.

I am finally on a journey that is promising to carry me on my life loving journey to fulfill my life long goals and live my dreams.

Am I grateful. Beyond thankful. I’m going to blow this one out of the water. Whose traveling with me.

If there is anything you’ve been dreaming about but you are not sure about go to God in prayer and ask Him if this is your time for whatever it is you’ve been contemplating. He’ll tell you by giving you, one by one, each lesson He has planned for your life in your business. Now is the time and I pray that if it’s your time too that you will skyrocket and soar with pure excitement.

Be blessed.

Be Encouraged

Because Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs A Touch of Inspiration!

You are extremely powerful.

Yes, you are phenomenal. Woman entrepreneur, you have this great unlimited potential breeding inside you encompassing every inch of your mind, life, heart and soul. You are resilient. Your mind is a journal that holds and retains your goals and all that you envision as an entrepreneur.

You are a rich reservoir of valuable and priceless information.

A New Season

In this new season why not design, create and craft an extension of your existing business.

Here’s what I recommend.

Think about your business and all the things that are relevant to your dynasty. It could be that you want to design t-shirts for your business. T-shirts can be a wonderful marketing tool. T-shirts are not expensive to buy. You can purchase t-shirts from Walmart, AC Moore, Michael’s, etc. Or you can use Spreadshirt to design and sell your t-shirts.

If you have a software program or if you are familiar with Adobe Photoshop, you can design your own graphics and upload them to Spreadshirt. They have a large collection of t-shirts in all colors and sizes.

I use Spreadshirt, but I don’t really market it the way I used to. Here are a few of my own designs and here’s the link to help you to create that extension of your business if you decide that’s what you want to do. This will ensure that you get traffic to your website to help grow and prosper your business.

Ebooks

You can also write ebooks. Ebooks are a fantastic way for you to make money. I’ve written several ebooks and I’ve done well with them. You just need Woocommerce or some kind of digital download program. I really like Woocommerce a lot. They set up everything for you. They collect your payments right from your website as well. You just need to drive traffic to your website so that your potential customers can review and then buy your products. I’m so sure that you have priceless information that you want and are willing to share with the world!

Rubies in the Garden

Until next time, be encouraged, enriched and forever enlightened.

Blessings,

How to Breakthrough

Good Day, Women of Excellence,

How are things in and with your business.

Do you find yourself struggling to position your business where you envision it? Are you desperately trying to breakthrough and knock down those giants that are currently in your path blocking you at your every turn? Well, I think a lot of us have been there and experienced those obstacles that can leave you wondering and saying to yourself, “what am I doing wrong here?

HOW TO BREAKTHROUGH

When I read about or hear women asking how they can get their breakthrough my mind is directed toward the Lord because He is the only WAY for you to truly breakthrough those chains of poverty which include finances, low to no self confidence, fear, doubts, struggles, pain, storms and your all your business endeavors. You name it.

Let’s get right to it. Here’s how you begin to seek the truths for your breakthrough.

It is important for you to pray, asking, seeking and knocking. Seek God’s face and His will for your business.
You must have complete faith in God. (Wavering is not an option).
You have to trust God with everything pertaining to your business as well as in your life; finances, business goals/decisions.
You must heed His word…His guidance and direction for your business even if you don’t understand or see results instantly.
You must be using your God-given gifts, your unique skill set and your creativity, along with His principles, to help grow, prosper and sustain your business.
It is important for you to take inspired, grateful and joyful action in your business goals. You have to get and stay excited as you work to execute God’s plans in your business.
It is also essential to add thankfulness to God in all things with a heart and mind of sincerity. In all things give thanks to God.
Keep a positive outlook/mindset and feel the abundance that is already yours!
Remember to give God a portion of all that you earn regardless of how much you earn. You must be obedient to God and watch Him open the windows of heaven and pour upon you endless blessings of all that He has just for you.

LET’S CONTINUE ON THE JOURNEY!

If you were to go outside, look up and all around you, you will no doubt witness God’s excellent greatness, His mighty acts and wondrous works. This should automatically create within you a well, an ocean and a rich reservoir of thanksgiving to God, Creator of Heaven and earth. He is the Light that makes your paths clear and straight. God gives you the power to create your wealth.

One by one, implement the above components into every aspect of your business and watch out…your breakthrough is here!!! Enjoy it and thank God for it all.

Always remember, with trust and faith in God, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. There are no limits on your life; only endless doors and windows of opportunities being presented to you daily to help you to flourish in your business and in every situation of your amazing and blessed life!

In His Heart,
