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.

 

 

GVWE Uses Her Creativity

One of God’s Women of Excellence is

Using Her Genius to Warm Lives and Homes.

Creating Beautiful Space Everywhere She Goes!


By day she works in corporate America sharing her expertise of communications and social media globally.  In the evening hours she is constantly, with a sincere and consistent effort, updating her blog, JDanielleDesign. She’s taking her vision along with all of her dreams to a place where no one has ever gone before.  Her goal? To leave the corporate world and do what she loves full time, which is creating and designing and might we add, she does it so well! 

How To Create and Design Your Own Business.

Becoming an entrepreneur takes serious thought.  It also means being focused and consistent, but the goal(s) don’t stop there. 

Being an entrepreneur is an honor and a blessing because you get to utilize your phenomenal gifts and great talents.  Building a business takes time.  A lot of time.  It requires you to have patience and understanding; understanding that it is going to take time and knowledge, with some wisdom, to grow your business. It would be nice to experience overnight success, but same day success would be great! I believe achieving same day success is possible when you tap into all the resources and tools available to you.

It all starts with God and thanksgiving.  From there you’ll grow your business with these essential tools that promise to help you to achieve optimal success.  Here they are:

  • Faith
  • Knowing the gifts you possess
  • Yours talents
  • Your creativity
  • Your skill set
  • Your great ability
  • Consistency
  • Your goals and how you’re going to achieve them
  • Marketing plan
  • Financial goals
  • How you’re going to promote your business

You see, the list goes on and on.  This is one list that will never end because as you work your business you will be incorporating a bevy of amazing business ideas and goals as you go along learning about business and learning new and awesome things about yourself as a business owner.

As you work your business your mind will be on overload and you’ll continue to be in awe because you will quickly see that your creativity is going to send you soaring to life-changing success.

If you’re harboring and carrying around any negative feelings or perhaps you are fearful in anyway, it’s best to release it right now before you take another step because truly you have nothing and no one to fear.  If you’re afraid of starting your business and maybe even embarrassed because you feel people are going to think a certain way about you, forget it and let it all go.  You are a great woman of God who is about to take that step onto the ladder fenced up to heaven with faith guiding and leading you.  This is truly an exciting and challenging time for you and you should be thrilled that you are about to embark on greatness and that greatness is YOU!

Coming next, how to start a life-changing business.

 

 

Technology

And It’s Changing Ways

I just got off the phone with a very dear close friend of mine.  She, too, is an entrepreneur.  We don’t talk everybody because we both have businesses to run, but we do check in weekly to share tidbits and to inspire. 

When I called her a few minutes ago she sounded a little tired. I understand her feeling.  She is constantly and may I say she is consistent when it comes to her business goals.  She has to be as do we all.  We talked briefly and I wanted to share with you what I told just told her in all of the three minutes we spoke. 

I told her that I had to change my meta descriptions on my website, Beauty and the Face.  She said that’s technology for you; you have to keep up with it and I responded with this; Yes, technology is changing every second we breathe.  My friend laughed so hard when I said that and I said, and I’m not going to wrack my brain trying to keep up with it.  I went on to say that as long as the Holy Spirit is guiding and instructing me and I am faithfully heeding His every word and following Him then I cannot go wrong regardless of how much technology changes.

I hope this little information inspires you in some way. 

Have a blessed business.

How You Do Business

IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS

I enjoy all of my businesses.  I feel as though they are a part of me because they are.  They are important components of my life because they were all birthed from my God-given gifts.

With opportunities golden and never-ending I like to use every new goal, dream and vision to create new extensions of and for all my businesses.  I have this one big umbrella and under that umbrella I have placed all of my entitles. 

When I enter into my office six days a week my mind is always working, not overtime, but it is working.  Things just seem to flow into my mind in the middle of the night.  There are also those Sundays when the Holy Spirit drops nuggets of gold into my heart, mind and spirit.  I journal.  When I tell you that the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart, He speaks to my heart with crystal clear instruction.  I heed and write down all of those things that He shares with me.  I am thankful.

I think that my grateful heart is the reason that I conduct my business in a way that is pleasing to God.  This is extremely important for me.  There are times when I hear unethical business transactions being made only to have my son hear me say, “oh, that is not right!” and he always feels the need to remind me that “IT IS JUST BUSINESS MOM!” and I say yes, but it doesn’t make it right.

Conducting business in a Christ-like manner is vital.  This is what makes us standout from the rest of the business world.  I don’t want to lay down at night restlessly turning and not being able to sleep because I wasn’t fair to someone who trusted me.

One of the reasons for our successes is because we are authentic, truthful, honest and we just know how to conduct business. 

There is a Light that shines from our storefronts, our hearts, and people can see, smell and taste when things just are right and/or honest.  Shaped in His image, it is super important that we be true to our customers and potential customers because they are one of the reasons we have our businesses in the first place. We always want to create value for others. It is an incredible feeling to be able to be a blessing to others by helping them change some area or aspect of their lives.  We are vessels.  We are amazing women of God and we are God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs.  Doesn’t that say it all and doesn’t that define HOW WE DO BUSINESS.

Be Blessed.

Happy New Year

AND ANOTHER NEW DAY

2018, the New Year has ushered in.  What does that mean for God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs?

I BELIEVE 2018 IS AN EXTENSION of 2017. 

As 2017 began to wind down I was constantly seeing finish strong, finish strong.  This banner of encouragement was meant to uplift and help prepare for 2018.

I know you are familiar with this saying,

THIS IS YOUR YEAR

When 2018 ushered in I looked at it this time as another day. Another day to thank God for His grace and mercy.  I often hear people say THIS IS YOUR YEAR. How will you make this your year.  Let’s take time to think about this and change your mindset and instead of saying this is your year, I want you to affirm what you want for your business as well as for your life.  I want you to believe in yourself, your goals and your dreams and then take inspired action.

CHANGE

When 2018 came in nothing changed in life and nothing changed in my business.  It was still get up and work my business. If I was expecting change I had to be the one to make that change.  The only change that I felt was necessary was thinking about myself more.  I vowed to myself that I was really going to start thinking more about myself.  I had made a commitment to take my business to higher heights, traveling roads I had never traveled before.  With complete confidence in myself and all of my abilities I have been literally making more money now than I ever have before.  

ANOTHER STREAM OF INCOME

I have decided after ten years of keeping my vision of having a tee shirt in the back of mind, I decided it is important that I share my quotes with the world.  For me it is life-loving like I love to say and life-loving is super important believe me when I tell you.  I know there are large volumes of people running their own tee shirt shops and I thought to myself, I will open my SHE SHIRT SHOP and make it all my own.  And so I have and I am having a ball creating my tees created and designed exclusively for the female heart.  I love my tees and I am expecting my audience to love them as well.  There’s always something for everyone. 

BEAUTY AND THE FACE, LOVE FOR THE SKIN (LLC)

My other true love was also birthed two years ago, but it has now come full circle this year.  Talk about excited.  I am elated to tell you about Beauty and the Face, Love for the Skin.

Beauty and the Face is a unique formula of butter for the body that contains rich emollients to glow any skin type.  I’ve always suffered from excessively dry skin and I decided that I didn’t want to buy anymore watered down lotions for the fibers of my being.  It was at the moment that I decided to start my own line of body butters to moisturize, hydrate, nourish and heal the skin.  When I handcrafted my first batch and I put it on my skin, I was amazed.  I immediately shared it with my husband.  He loved it as well as my children. 

One day when my husband went to work a female co-worker asked him what he was using on his skin as his skin was just a glowing.  He told her that we use Beauty and the Face! Our own body butter line.  We introduced our flagship/original formula to the world and as of this very second, the orders are coming and women are loving it.  I will see how much they love it though if they buy from us again, but for now I am grateful for any order that we get. 

YOUR PLANS

What are your plans and have you executed them with the help of God’s hands? Remember that we cannot do anything without God for it is He who us the power to get wealth.  Are you working on getting your wealth?  I have my wealth and I am grateful for all the dreams, goals and vision, wisdom and understanding that has been bestowed upon me to receive it.  You can do the same.

Be blessed.

 

 

Be Authentic

IF IT BENEFITS YOUR CUSTOMER,

IT BENEFITS YOU

 

As God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs our ultimate goal and main focus should be to bless other women or anyone for that matter. 

It is highly important to be truly authentic, honest and sincere.  It’s who we all are. 

I recorded a message to you in hopes of giving you a little insight into the world of business that oftentimes can be somewhat disappointing, but when you understand how business is conducted by others, maybe you won’t be too disappointed or perhaps never disappointed in how business goes because you have a clear understanding of how others think especially where and when money is involved.  I always believe that we are more than just business. 

What I offer here at GVWE is more than just business and when it’s more than just business you can have a phenomenal life-changing business!  

I hope you enjoy the audio.

Until there, be blessed by the Hands that prosper your hands.

God bless.

Pen It To Paper

AND WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS

Before the new year came in there were a few goals I had to achieve; one was to finish reading, Always Jesus. I started out reading it January 1, 2017 and I completed it the day before Christmas Eve. It deeply warmed my spirit. It also got me super excited about my entrepreneurial journey all over again because it was like I was listening to Jesus speak clearly to me with an audible sweet voice. When I finished reading Always Jesus I was moved to take on the world and I didn’t see the point in waiting for 2018 because I was on fire at that moment and I still am. 

My other goal was to begin using my Happy Planner my neighbor had gifted me for my birthday in November. Using my happy planner I began writing down my goals, my business building affirmations and everything the Holy Spirit was sharing with me. I am always elated to hear what the Holy Spirit gives. I’m telling you the gift of discernment is absolutely wonderful. 

MOVING FORWARD IN BUSINESS. 

With all that I’m trying to accomplish I continue to write everything down; no matter how big or small, I’m penning it to paper. If it comes to my mind and lingers for ten seconds I’m writing it down. This ensures that I accomplish each goal listed in my happy planner. The other key is keeping my happy planner open to refer to my list to be reminded of everything on it. It also gives me a real sense of joy knowing that I get to put all that God has given me into action. 

I’m using my happy planner faithfully. I decorate it as I go with positive awe-inspiring and uplifting stickers. The stickers are all faith based which I love. 

Whatever your goals pen them to paper. If they’re laying on the table of your heart and in your mind write them down and if possible elaborate on each one so that your goals are clear for you. It’s good to write as much content as possible where your goals are concerned to help you to stay focused and committed. 

Lift those Limits

And Learn To Do Things Yourself

In February 2017, I had someone redesign my website, Cyndi’s Designs, for me.  I shared with her my vision for my website and even though it wasn’t exactly what I envisioned, it came out really nice. In October of 2017, I had someone design the website for my latest venture, love for the skin, luxurious body butter, Beauty and the Face, LLC. I also told her exactly what I envisioned for my website and even though it took much longer to launch then promised, this website came out okay as well. 

Now, here’s the problem with having someone create and design your website for you or at least for me, there are limits. Like working in corporate America there will always be limits placed on you starting with having a cap placed on your salary and then it goes on from there.  Your hands are somewhat tied in terms of being able to incorporate your genius ideas into projects you may be working on at your place of employment. 

For me, having someone else build my website for me is very limiting.  The website designer will lay out the terms for the site such as you get three free edits usually and that’s it; anything more you’ll have to pay for.  Now, I’ll admit that the latter website builder added some things to my site that I never thought of adding which was/is a bonus and plus for me, but when I asked her to add three words, she quickly replied that I cannot ask her to add anything else to the site that I OWN!! This for me was unacceptable and only because I didn’t really bother her throughout the entire process.  I entrusted her to do the job that I paid her to do because this is what she does for a living.  She knows about SEO, traffic and all the things that go into having a successful website which makes for a successful business.

I say all of this to say, I know how to build websites using WordPress and Weebly and I have to say I do more than a halfway decent job having no formal training. I was determined to learn WordPress and I’m glad I did, but it was not easy at all, but I didn’t give up.  I got it down to a science now and love using WordPress and now that I’ve just learned what a child theme is, oh look out, I’m going to even higher motivating heights. It’s just what I do.  I told myself that I am not going to keep paying thousands of dollars for someone to build my websites for me when I can do it all myself.  Now packaging, that’s another story, but one I’m willing to write once I’ve learned how to package all my products and besides I love to learn and I love to try new things that are relevant to my goals and dreams. I understand that we can’t do everything ourselves, but what you can do I suggest you do.

So I’m lifting my limits and I’m going to continue creating and designing my own websites, my headers and everything that comes along with having a successful website which is mostly great content.  I think everything else will just serve as a backdrop for my writings and experiences that I get to share with you.

Be blessed and make this year the most phenomenal year ever.  It’s just what you do too!!!!

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.
