God’s Open Doors of Endless Opportunities

Gods Open Doors of Endless OpportunitiesBeing an entrepreneur has shown me many things. It has also presented me and opened my eyes to endless opportunities.

God’s open doors of endless opportunities have helped to grow, not just my businesses, but my life.

The lessons I have learned have been tremendous. Am I grateful? Yes. I am beyond grateful.

God has graced and granted me with much wisdom. His lovingkindness blesses me in ways too numerous to count. Whenever I hear someone say count your bless I say to myself it would be impossible because God’s blessings are innumerable.

However, not only do I count my blessings, I give God thanks for His blessings.

When I prepare to start each day I look forward to hearing from God. I know He is going to share something phenomenal with me. Whether it’s a word from His word to speak to my heart, or perhaps an article to touch, warm and transform someone’s life, I get excited because I already know His word is going to be powerful.

Not only is God’s word going to be powerful, it is going to phenomenal. He is going to clothe me with a lesson so profound that it will be life-changing in some way.

As a result, not only am I going to receive a multitude of blessings, but others will be blessed as well because I share and I give.

When this happens God’s open doors of endless opportunities immediately become available to me. I walk through each door as He presents them to me with faith and confidence. I glean valuable information that I refer to as priceless gems.

Have you ever experienced God’s open doors of endless opportunities in your business? If so, what have you learned? Are there any doors that you have yet to walk through?

I’m sure that God has a plethora of doors of endless opportunities awaiting you? Is there something that prevents you from walking through God’s open doors of endless opportunities?

If you are sitting dormant and some giants have stilled your steps, I advise you to go to the word of God and read the following Scripture. Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”  Prayerfully, this will help you to see the light that will lovingly, mercifully and gracefully guide you to God’s open doors of endless opportunities.

You don’t have to be afraid because with Jesus leading the way and His Holy Spirit convicting you, you cannot go wrong. Your paths will be straight and your compass will direct you into even greater success.

Be blessed and give God thanks,

Cyndi

Can’t Miss Virtual Marketing Campaigns

How To Create Can’t-Miss Virtual Marketing Campaigns To Engage Your Audience

Remember all the meetings you had at the end of last year about what this year’s marketing strategy would look like? It’s time to revisit those plans if you haven’t already and revamp them to match the changing environment in which we find ourselves as we enter the second half of 2020.

In the marketing world, the main change that has occurred in the past six months is, of course, the shift away from experiential marketing as the world moved inside to avoid COVID-19. Instead, many brands are turning to community-building as a focus. That means more digital content to connect with audience members who are spending more time at home and online.

It’s more important now than ever to pursue a virtual marketing strategy that meets customers where they are. Now isn’t the time to stay the course with whatever marketing plan you planned in the fourth quarter of 2019. Consumers’ needs and habits have changed drastically, and your efforts should change with them.

If you want to engage your brand’s audience as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, you need to embrace the benefits of virtual marketing and implement such strategies right away. Need a head start? Jump in with the following three strategies.

 

1. Use video to speak to each of your audiences.

Using video to engage audiences may seem like a no-brainer, but adding more video to your marketing strategy does require some nuance. ”Video is appealing because you can break some traditional marketing rules and create specific, targeted videos tailored to all of your audiences,” says Nayani Vive, vice president of regional business development at marketing and advertising agency RAPP.

2. Encourage user-generated content.

Contests or challenges in which your audience members post photos, comments, or other content — also known as user-generated content, or UGC — can be a great way to engage with people digitally and keep your brand top of mind. Think about your goal for the campaign. Do you want to build your community, or do you want participants to take a particular action, like making a purchase or donating to a cause? The answer to that question will guide the type of campaign you implement.

For examples of successful UGC-based campaigns, look no further than FedEx and Coca-Cola. FedEx rolled out an “Innovation Challenge” for young people, asking them to solve science and math problems, post photos as they completed scavenger hunts, and answer trivia questions, all with the aim of teaching them STEM skills. And Coca-Cola asked members of its global audience to send in photos the brand could use to build a mosaic flag to debut at the FIFA World Cup. Both strategies show that if you cater your calls to action to your audience’s interests and values, they’ll want to play along.

3. Host a virtual event.

Have your in-person activations, conventions, or conferences been canceled for the year? That doesn’t mean you can’t hold an event — it just needs to move to a virtual environment. There are wide-ranging benefits of hosting a virtual event. You can invite as many people as you want no matter where they live, and that goes for guests and audience members alike. And aside from any costs related to the video or streaming platform you choose, you won’t have to worry about renting a location, providing meals, or incurring any other costs associated with a traditional in-person event.

Instead, focus your efforts around the production value of your virtual event. Instead of simply scheduling a video meeting via the teleconference platform of your choice, make it feel like a real event with branded backgrounds, high-quality audio and video, and lots of interactive elements to keep audiences engaged. Ensure your presenters or hosts have plenty of time to prepare for the event, just as you would for an in-person gig. Remember that distractions abound for audience members at home, so your event needs to be energetic and interactive to keep viewers engaged throughout.

Even as some businesses around the world begin to open their doors to the public and consumers venture back to their favorite brick-and-mortar locations, others are prepared to wait several more months before changing their habits. For brands, that means the increased importance of virtual marketing won’t fizzle out over the summer or even into autumn. For the foreseeable future, digital campaigns will be critical — and with these strategies in your toolbox, you’ll be able to continue connecting with your audience virtually the whole time.

Now Is The Perfect Time To Change Your Life

Become An Entrepreneur. How To Start Your Own Business

Now is the perfect time to change your life. It is the most wonderful time to start a business

Have you been thinking about starting a home based business, but you’re still on the fence. May I ask what’s stopping you. Is it you? Are you afraid of something? Maybe you don’t have an inkling of where you should start.

Let me say this; the path to starting your business promises to take you on a profound life altering journey. It goes beyond fulfilling because you get to do all the things that you are passionate about. Starting a home based business or any business is easy when you have the right tools and it all begins with you. Please allow me to elaborate as I speak to you from my own life and business building experiences and events.

Starting a business gives you the opportunity to use your never ending incredible potential and please trust me, you can do this. You can do anything. It all starts in your mind. It is the planting of a seed that can grow a full harvest with never ending rows and bountiful fields of abundance, wealth and prosperity. You just have to make up your mind to do it which is such a powerful thing. It is then that you will be on your way to experiencing greater and amazing!

Now Is The Perfect Time To Change Your Life. Here’s How You Begin.

In the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Before taking the steps to building your new future and lifestyle, you go to God. You pray and ask His Holy Spirit for His guidance. Speak to Him and share your goals with Him. If you’re afraid of something let Him know so that He can help you to release and remove those giants from your path whatever they or whatever fears concern you.

One by one you speak to those giants and you tell them to be cast into the sea. Speak boldly. Don’t be afraid and remember to believe that you can do anything with the Holy Spirit guiding and instructing you.

Now let’s build that foundation. Rock solid. Doing this ensures that your business never crumbles.

Incorporate the following Scriptures into the building of your empire. It is important that these Scriptures abide in you for they are from Jesus. Meditate upon them both day and night.

James 2:26 – As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

Habukkah 2:2 – And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 

Proverbs 29:18 – Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 

Proverbs 16:3 – Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. 

Now Let’s Dream!

Do you see yourself as a highly successful entrepreneur? Pen it to paper. Maybe you see yourself selling a much needed product. Perhaps you have a coaching service that has the wonderful ability to change lives a little everyday.

Go on and dream. This is the beginning stage of your life changing business. Be creative and design a brilliant business.

As you continue to dream you think of an idea. You embrace a vision. You set goals and you pen them to paper in full and complete meticulous details. You need this business to be successful from the opening of the gate doors. Anything that pertains to your business pen it immediately. You can refer to your notes off and on as you make plans to design your empire. It doesn’t matter how small or unimportant your ideas or plans may be, if you think that they are relevant to your business write them down. They are all important. When you do this you will be amazed at how one great idea after another will come to you.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. One great and remarkable idea after the other will flow into you.

Now that you have taken the necessary steps to build your business it’s time to write your business plan. If you’re not familiar with how to write a business plan or if you don’t know how to write one go here to see samples to help you write your own. This step is super important. They have a great wealth of information on your website that can help you to leverage your business.

The Next Step; Building Your Website

When you build your website you need to plan it out. Ask yourself what pages will you need.

To make it easy, you can begin planning your website with the basics; Home; About Me; Contact, etc., and I highly recommend using WordPress. WordPress is great. It can be difficult to use at first, but if you persevere you will be able to master it like I did when I first starting making all of my own websites.

Weebly is another great platform that you should consider. They have some lovely templates and they have a drag and drop feature that makes it award winning. You just have to add your keywords for SEO and whatever else they suggest to drive traffic to your website.

If you choose to go with WordPress you will need hosting. I use bluehost. Bluehost has a host of tools you can use to build your website. If I had to suggest which platform to use I would have to go with WordPress and I think you should too.

These are just some of the actions that you need to take and incorporate into your business plan to make it grow.

If you’re ready to change your life, start right where you are for now is the perfect time to change you life. You are going to change lives and while you’re changing lives, you’ll be helping to change the world.

God Is Speaking

Listen To His Voice

Good Day Phenomenal Ones,

As God continues to speak to us, we should listen to and hear what He is saying.

His message is clear and though it may be a soft warm whisper, He is speaking volumes to our hearts.

Now is the time to create and a sing a song of praise to our Lord and Savior for this time in our lives because He is reminding us that we need to turn our attention to Him and seek His Word now more than ever.

While I am not fulfilling any orders in business, I am so honored to be able to sit and be still and hear what God is saying to me and the world.

If you’re at home and maybe a bit bored you don’t have to be. There is so much that needs to be done. Being an entrepreneur means that your business should always be growing.

Here are some things that you should consider doing if things have quieted and you are, like me, sitting still.

Read God’s Word.

I have delved deep into the Book of Acts and I am loving it. It’s amazing how truly powerful God’s word is. I have learned so much and have made a commitment to read more of God’s word this year. As I spend time with God each and everyday the Holy Spirit reveals things to me that I otherwise would never know. He gives me understanding whenever I am stuck on a verse of Scripture and just can’t seem to get clarity. The Holy Spirit always answers and I am grateful.

The other thing you can do is write. Write down your goals. Make a list of things that you would like to incorporate into your empire. As you write your goals, make sure to elaborate upon each one by writing out clear content that will give you understanding of how you plan to accomplish your goals. Doing this will help you to stay focused and motivated.

Yesterday I grabbed my notebook and began writing thank You letters to Jesus. It showed me that my mind doesn’t have to be centered upon making money. Writing is therapeutic and when I write from the heart it goes into my mind and the words just flow.

Pray the Abundance Prayer.

From The Light of God that I am.
From The Love of God that I am.
From The Power of God that I am.
From The Heart of God that I am.
I Decree-
I dwell in the midst of Infinite Abundance.
The Abundance of God is my Infinite Source.
The River of Life never stops flowing and it flows through me with lavish expression.
Good comes to me through unexpected avenues and God works in a myriad of ways to bless me.
I now open my mind to receive my good.
Nothing is too good to be true.
Nothing is too wonderful to have happen.
With God as my Source nothing amazes me.
I am not burdened by thoughts of past or future. One is gone. The other is yet to come.
By the power of my belief, coupled with my purposeful fearless actions and my deep rapport with God, my future is created and my abundance made manifest.
I ask and accept that I am lifted in this and every moment into Higher Truth. My mind is quiet.
From this day forward I give freely and fearlessly into Life and Life gives back to me with a fabulous increase. Blessings come in expected and unexpected ways. God provides for me in wondrous ways for the work that I do.
I AM indeed grateful.
And so it is.

Praying the Abundance Prayer is a great way to stay connected to God and the abundance that He so freely gives and shares with His children. Read the Abundance Prayer daily, two to three times a day and watch what happens.

Call A Friend and Offer Words of Encouragement

Since I’m not fulfilling any body butter orders at the moment I have been talking to a few lady friends in my life. I love to coach them. I try my best to offer them encouragement. I always have and I always will.

One friend wants me to make hand sanitizers with her and sell them in Rite-Aid and Walmart. I don’t have any interest in doing that really, but I am helping her where she needs my help. Now, if she would  only listen things would go smoothly for her.

Well, I hope you will take into consideration the things listed above to keep you busy during this time in our lives. Let us be grateful that we are here and we are able, capable, gifted and highly skilled to do what we love to do. Even if, at the moment, it is us sitting still and focusing on the Sovereignty of God.  The abundance is real.

Be blessed,

Cynthia

We know that we have the knowledge to use our gifts to the fullest with an abundance of potential born inside of us. Using our potential is the beginning of obtaining wealth. 

Start Your Own Business Fear Free!

So you want to start a business and you brought fear along with you on your brand new entrepreneurial journey. There really isn’t any room for fear, but for some reason you can’t free yourself of this gripping mind blinding obstacle. You’ve been wanting to start your own business for quite some time now, but fear has held you captive so much so that fear has become your focus. Well, let me tell you about my story simply called FEARFUL. 

Growing up in West Philadelphia I had the most amazing childhood ever. It was filled with laughter, weekend mini golf and movies with friends. We played tag football in Overbrook High’s Schoolyard as well as other fun loving games. I thought I was the greatest wide receiver ever! Lollll. We played tennis and basketball and jumped rope every chance we got. We just had a ball. 

As I got older I would be bullied in school. It was a horrific feeling knowing I had to go to school and see face-to-face Snake and Emmett, those two hoodlums who would throw milk cartons at my face everyday during lunchtime in the cafeteria. It got so bad that I had to stay inside during recess.

It wasn’t until my father came to the school and Emmett’s mother shipped him off to Virginia to live with other relatives that the bullying stopped. His mother was left with no choice because Emmett was the baddest boy on two feet. I never heard about Emmett again, but I saw snake at a wedding years ago and he looked like a cold alcoholic. This fearful time in my life would haunt me for years to come.

The bullying caused me to have great low self esteem and my confidence was at a zero level. I was too afraid to stand up to the bullies because of the fear that was in my mind. This was heartwrenching for me. As I grew older I was lost for a long time. I had no direction in my life. I was afraid to do or try anything because I was embarrassed and scared.

I remember one year my mother had bought me a brown corduroy pocketbook that I carried on my shoulder to school everyday. I was elated to have that pocketbook.

One day one of my classmates, Karen, asked if she could carry my pocketbook. Me being afraid to just come out and say no, I gave her my pocketbook.  When I asked for it back, she refused to give it back to me.

I remember going to the library with my classmates, standing in line, and looking back at Karen, begging her to give me my pocketbook back. Karen held on to my pocketbook for dear life as though it was hers. I was shaking in my shoes and my heart was pounding thinking I was never going to get my pocketbook back.

Karen bullied me to the point where my mother told me to bring her home with me for lunch one day. When we got there my mother politely asked her why she felt the need to constantly bully me and beg for my food and pocketbook. From that moment on, Karen never bothered me again. Fear seemed to follow me everywhere I’d go. It got so bad that I was afraid to say NO even in a large part of my adult years.

And Then There Was Faith or The Lack of Faith

Not only did fear have a grip on me as a child and adult, I finally realized why and since then have been able to understand it all.

You see, growing up I never heard the word faith and therefore I was not able to apply to all aspects of my life. I really had no idea what faith meant, but I believe that if I had, I would never have accepted being bullied in the first place.

All the things that I needed, faith, belief, trust, confidence and bold prayers, eluded me. I was taught a lot of things in school, but none of what I needed.

At home I was taught that Jesus was my Lord and Savior and yes, Jesus loves me because the Bible tells me so. I was also taught to love, have compassion for others , say thank you and be sincerely grateful which is what my parents demonstrated in our home everyday of my life. If I didn’t know anything else I knew and still know how to love and to say please and thank you with a sincere and grateful heart. 

Moving on in my life events happened that kept me in bondage. I was constantly trying to please others so much so that my entire focus in life was helping others to get to places they needed to be. When my spiritual eyes were opened I made a major shift in my thoughts which have impacted my own life profoundly. 

I was worn out from fear, stress, struggling to say NO and persecution. Now don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t completely free of these monsters, but I was finally making progress for myself.

When I realized I’d been sitting on a phone listening to people talk only about themselves forever and ever without them asking me how I was feeling or if I was busy, I knew it was time for me to stop the sadness. I say sadness because for too long it was a sad time in my life because I was always and I mean always trying to help everyone else without regard for my own life and my own feelings. I thought it was wrong if I didn’t say yes to cater to everyone’s whim.

I would often second guess myself. When it all wore me out was when I gained the confidence, without open eyes and mind to make my life about God and myself and then my family and friends. I had to shut things down and refresh and renew every aspect, situation and circumstance of my life if I was going to fully embrace and enjoy my life the way I had envisioned. After all, I had and still do have businesses to take care of. I have to manage my businesses, promote and protect them. 

And so it was time for me to stand up and learn to say no on so many levels and in so many forms of no; plain and simple but in order to do that I had to open the door of my mind and release fear once and for all. I made up my mind to let fear go and I can honestly say that I now realize that fear was/is a waste of time and I don’t have time to be wasting. 

I have new ventures coming up which means I have to gear up and equip myself with greater knowledge and staying right and tight on all the things that are important to, for and in my business. 

So if you want to start your own business, but you have a cloud of fear lingering over you for whatever your reasons may be, shake fear off. Renew your mind.

Go to God and repent and ask Him to forgive you for not doing what He has commanded you to do. You know He forgives, but go to Him and tell Him what’s on your mind. Spend time with the Father and pour out your heart to Him. He will listen so don’t be fearful.

Before you can start your business you need to go to God and ask Him for direction and guidance.  He will remove fear from your life once and for all and you’ll feel so free. You are going to feel amazing!

It’s a phenomenal feeling when you free yourself from those giants that can overshadow you.  It’s time to do it. Please do not wait another second. You have lives to bless all for the glory of Gods name.

How I Built a Dropshipping Store That Made $6,667 in Under 8 Weeks

How I Built a Dropshipping Store That Made $6,667 in Under 8 Weeks

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” – Les Brown 

I believe that everybody has the potential to become a successful entrepreneur, and I set out to illustrate this for you.

I wanted to document my entire process of building, launching, and running a dropshipping business, so you can follow every decision that I made, and use my journey to fuel your own success.

In 8 weeks I built and launched my store. During those 8 weeks I made $6,666.73 in revenue.

Let me be clear, I’m no genius. I’m just an ambitious entrepreneur, like you, with a huge drive to succeed.

I was running this business in addition to my 9 to 5 job (which isn’t related to ecommerce at all), so I had to work on my store after work, or on the weekends – just like many of you.

Even with all the obstacles in my way, I did it, and if I can, you can too.

So, follow along with my journey to find out how I chose my products, which marketing tactics worked best for me, how I made my first sale, and learn the challenges that I faced as an entrepreneur.

Let’s get started! 

Finding a Niche

When I start a new business, I always like to think about what I’m going to sell first.

Even though there are amazing online tools which can help me find a profitable business idea, I usually start by brainstorming on a piece of paper.

Why did I use paper? I’m a huge fan of keeping it simple, so I just wrote down everything that came to mind for 10 minutes.

I don’t want to overthink the ideation process. There were good ideas in my head, just like there are in yours, and all I had to do was put them to paper. 

I used the following criteria when I was picking my products:

  • No food. (I didn’t know about the quality of food from overseas)
  • No electronics (easy to break which can lead to a lot of returns)
  • No heavy goods (high shipping costs)
  • Low-priced items (if a refund was necessary I wouldn’t lose that much money)

Now, these were just my criteria for a product. There isn’t an exact science behind this, but I’ve found success using these criteria in the past, and successful entrepreneurs double down on what works. 

I came up with nine solid product ideas (as shown above in green) with some further thoughts (circled in yellow).

I already had some rough ideas for what I should sell, but I still wanted to check the bestselling lists from:

I’ve found success in the past with products that can be found in at least two of these marketplaces.

After checking these marketplaces, I settled on three product ideas.

1. Pineapple Bracelets

how-i-built-a-dropshipping-store-that-made-6667-in-under-8-weekshow-i-built-a-dropshipping-store-that-made-6667-in-under-8-weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both Amazon and Etsy had the same products in their bestselling listings, which was a good sign that there was demand for this product.

2. Steel Strap Watches

how-i-built-a-dropshipping-store-that-made-6667-in-under-8-weeks

Watches with a steel strap also proved to be popular. Seemed like these products could be a good option.

3. Pineapple Hats

And again; both Amazon and Etsy listed similar products in their bestsellers list. I found it very interesting that both platforms had pineapple hats.

I had three ideas, so it was now time to validate them.

Niche Validation

Validation is one of the most important steps when you’re starting your own online business. 

This process will allow you to understand if there is demand for your idea (product) or not.

If you skip the validation process your business can end up being a waste of both time and money.

Niche Validation #1

As I had three ideas, I had to find the one which had the most potential to become a success. The easiest way to do this was to use Google Trends.

All of these product ideas seemed great. There weren’t any crazy trends, but there were definitely signs of an increasing interest across the board.

With this graph I had the confidence to continue moving forward with these product ideas.

Even though “steel watch strap” had a higher search volume on Google, my intuition told me that I should look more into the pineapple products because:

  • The search volume for both pineapple products was on the rise,
  • These products fall under a specific niche,
  • There is a wide variety of possible products to sell.

I already mentioned that spending too much time on finding products to sell isn’t ideal for me. 

Then it hit me. I thought to myself: “why not build a huge pineapple dropshipping store?”

I wanted to stick with my gut feeling, and move forward with this idea. So, it was decided: I was going to launch a pineapple store.

Finding Products to Sell

Now that I’d decided on the niche for my store, it was time to start researching some products.

I started by checking Amazon to gauge if the pineapple products were available. 

I made a point to take advantage of the drop-down suggestions (as shown in the images below) after I had entered my search term.

This was a very important step. These suggestions are based on the activity from buyers who use these websites, and their algorithms have learnt which products I might be interested in.

Ultimately, these algorithms are meant to coax me into purchasing more from the platforms. And if they work for me, they’ll also work for my audience.

So, I simply searched for the term “pineapple” without pressing enter, and made a note of the results.

Amazon’s suggestions:

I cherrypicked these results for the products which looked most interesting and, combined with the results from my research, I compiled a list of 10 ideas:

  • Pineapple corer
  • Pineapple decor
  • Pineapple backpack
  • Pineapple float
  • Pineapple popsocket
  • Pineapple necklace
  • Pineapple earrings
  • Pineapple dress
  • Pineapple bikini
  • Pineapple hats

I was very happy with these results, but I still took the time to dig a little deeper and explore some more products.

After all, the more product research you do, the more likely you are to find products which will be successful for your business.

I spent around one hour reviewing these products, and I came up with a couple more solid ideas for my inventory.

I now had 17 product ideas in total. Bare in mind that each product also has dozens of different variants and color options, so my store’s inventory was looking good so far.

You possess great gifts, spectacular talent and superior qualities when it comes to doing anything.

It’s instilled and ingrained in you. It’s how you were born; just knowing how to do things in a phenomenally fulfilling way. 

And so wherever you are in business read this paragraph over and over to remind yourself of your awesomeness. 

As we prepare for the upcoming Fall season I am elated to help you to soar in and propel your business. I want to encourage you to do something new, but relative where your business is concerned.

Nothing Complicated; Just Brilliant. Plain and Simple.

I continue to coach and counsel those who need my help. Nothing complicated, just brilliant; plain and simple and from my own business experiences.

My goal is to give the best possible solutions for women business owners who want to take their business to the next mountain. It is a rewarding time whenever I get to give encouragement. Talk about a blessing to see Christian women entrepreneurs succeed in business is a wonderful feeling.

I encourage you, once again, to use your gifts to give God glory and to be a blessing to your clients and customers through your own products and services.
