Preparing for October Blessings

Patiently, I awaited for this awe-inspiring season of fall to usher in and bring a wealth of all that God has for me.

Brilliant entrepreneurs, this is your season. It’s one filled with an abundance of God’s blessings, grace, mercy and love.

Yes, you have the ability and the power to make a lot of money during this time when Thanksgiving and Christmas are upon us. There are countless ways for you to make money so why not take advantage of this set time. 

It’s time prosper and power up and to be in charge of your journey.

Preparing for October BlessingsDo you want to know what I am doing in this amazing season that promises to open doors for me?

Well, first I have added three new scents to my body butter creams. I did extensive research on Lavender, Vanilla and Pumpkin and decided to incorporate these lovely scents into my Shea butter creams.

I ordered bottles of essential oils and scents to compliment my unrefined organic Shea butter. Infused with some of the most powerful antioxidants, I am thankful that I get to clothe, warm and heal. As my moisturizers soften and soothe, I smile and say thank You, Lord.

And now that October will be here in a few short days, bringing cooler temperatures, I stand and bask in God’s glory for having gifted me such awesome gifts and talents that I get to use for His glory.

Preparing for October Blessings Is Going To Bless You!

Amazing Business Practices

Amazing business practices should be a large part of an excellent business plan and system.

Today and every day being the perfect time to get a lot of things done, I have taken advantage of every second that is available to me.

I have to tell you that I am loving every second of the time that has been gifted to me.

I think every second that I breathe is the right or perfect time to achieve my goals, one day at a time.

During the last five months I have been working and preparing new butter creams for my potential customers. I have also added to my present business plan and I want you to know that it is a concrete plan. I put this plan in place in 2016 along with a system that has proven to be highly successful for me. My business plan helps me to stay on track where all my business matters are concerned.

Amazing business practices

Amazing Business Practices, The Heart and Soul of A Successful Business

Loving all that I do and for the glory of God’s name of course, I have put together an array of body butter recipes and now I am happy to say that they are all ready for the fall and winter months. My ultimate goal is to provide my customers with the nutrients their skin craves. Because I have excessively dry skin, it was important that I create and design a powerhouse of a moisturizer that would work year round, not just for me, but mainly for my customers. I think I nailed it.

As my flagship Shea body butter cream continues to do well, I am in the process of looking into Shopify in an effort to grow my sales for my new skincare line, Lady Cynthia.

I am truly excited to introduce my new line of products because I want women and even men to have the healthiest skin possible. It’s something how my focus is always my customers and their true happiness. If my customers are not satisfied with my products, then I am not happy with my products. 

If you offer a product, products or a special service it is important that you pour your heart and soul into your business.

Whether you are a business owner or you are in the process of starting your own business remember these tips:

  • Be true to yourself and you will be true to your customers.
  • Give as much value as you can to your customers.
  • Let your customers know that you are there for them should they need to call on you as long as it pertains to the offer you are making.
  • Don’t ever stop giving and you will never stop receiving.

Don’t forget that you have the power to get wealth and if you have the power to get wealth you will be rich all the days of your business.

You are the foundation of your business. Be of a good courage and there will be numerous ways for you to obtain wealth as long as you remain the awesome business women that you are!

Blessings for your business,

Do Not Be Dismayed

Trust God

Please do not be dismayed because the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. The time is now.

Creating and designing the life of your dreams can be an exciting. Building a business can also be exciting. Walking by faith not by sight can be difficult and a real challenge for some.

Fear can halt your steps preventing you from doing what you love. As a result fear has the ability to tie your hands behind your back with some pretty serious consequences. With faith in God you can tell fear to be cast into the sea never to overpower you again.

When you walk by faith you trust God to guide your every step.

It’s not always easy to do this, but it would be wise to implement this powerful principle, not only into your business, but in your life as well. Trusting God to constantly speak to your heart so that you never lose your way as you work to build your empire one layer at a time provides you with tools to build a strong foundation on which your business can stand for years to come.

Upon the completion of your business details, from writing your business plan to designing your marketing materials, it is vital that certain principles be interwoven into the fabric of your business to ensure that it flourishes on a consistent basis for months and years to come. 

When journeying through the ins and outs of business do not be dismayed. God’s right hand is the power that will take you from one goal to the next into a world of abundance. You see God wants you to prosper and be in abundance. He wants you to be in abundance in wisdom, knowledge and where your finances are concerned. It doesn’t stop there.

Our Father wants you to have everything you need and He gives you richly all things to enjoy. Being surrounded by abundance you feel abundant. When you feel abundant you welcome in prosperity, overflowing riches and great wealth. It becomes the never ending story you get to write in your journal to be your compass as you work your business.

Penning your goals and successes opens the door to abundant opportunities.

Your mind shifts and your life changes. As a result, you get to witness eye opening experiences you never would had you not opened your mind to receive all that God has awaiting you. God bestows these blessings upon you little by little. Write them down.

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. When God shows you His love receive it with a heart of thanksgiving. One at a time you can take it and learn from the things that God wants to reveal to you. Like flowers that bloom in spring or like leaves that change color during autumn season these blessings are enormous. It doesn’t matter how small they may seem they are humongous.

God does great works and His greatness is unsearchable. Receive the things He wants you to know and He will pour out  His blessings upon you with clear understanding. You may not understand everything at first, but keep trusting God and you will come to know and see all that God has for you a little at a time. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. And listen, all you really need to know is that God truly loves and cares about you. I think that’s all the understanding any of us needs. To God be all the glory.

Life can be filled with a myriad of lessons that have the amazing ability to change our lives. I often think about things that have transpired in my life and I simply say thank You Lord.

Here’s a short story I’d like to share with you.

My son texted me late Saturday night. I was sound asleep so I did not see the text until the next morning. When God woke me up the next day I saw Todd’s message.

A few minutes later my son called and asked if I had heard the news about Chadwick Boseman. I said no. He then said he died. My heart broke all over again almost the same way it broke when my cousin Kobe died. I was in shock when I heard the news.

When I went on Facebook I knew what I was going to see. Yes, Mr. Boseman’s face posted everywhere. I expected to see his face, hear about his work, his career and his private life. This is what usually happens whenever a celebrity passes away.

When I saw Chadwick on the View earlier this year I didn’t get the vibe that he was your typical celebrity. His demeanor and the way he answered the questions that were posed to him told me that he was just a kind spirit with a loving soul. And the way that he looked at the ladies at the table spoke volumes about him.

The look in his eyes said a lot about the kind of personality he carried with him everywhere he went. I loved that about him. I could clearly see that he was true or at least in my mind he was.

When we hear stories like the passing of celebrities, loved ones or those close to us, we tend to say things like, “live life to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.”  And should we find ourselves in a torrential rainfall that blinds us to the point that we cannot see ourselves out of it,  we immediately call upon the name of Jesus.

Desperate to alter the hurt or pain we cry out asking Jesus to be attentive to our prayers to get us through whatever we are going through or dealing with. Jesus is always the answer. He is always with us at all times.

The point I’m trying to make is this. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever. We need to be thanking God every second of the day for blessing us with life. And it should not stop there. We need to be in constant thank You prayers to God for His infinite abundance help, support, encouragement and all the abundant things that He lays at our feet each and everyday.

It is vital that we use our gifts for the glory of God’s name and use them to the fullest of our infinite potential.

We need to be glorifying the name of the Lord through our works and thanking Him for giving us the gifts that have the ability to execute the plan He has given us with complete instructions. We need to be shouting for joy for the Lord’s goodness. Living in a state of euphoria should be one of our goals knowing that we don’t have to be dismayed because the Lord is with us, helping us every second we breathe.

Listen ladies, if there is something pressing on your heart and mind and you know for a fact that God is calling you into His great light to do work for the glory of His name I would advise you to do it. Be obedient to the Lord.

Do not wait another minute to execute that brilliant plan that God has laid on the table of your heart. Let me ask you a question; what are you waiting for? Is something holding you back? If so, figure out what it is, solve and get moving. Do you know that you are empowered by the Holy Spirit? His power is amazing and He will give you everything you need to be super successful.

Do not be dismayed because God loves you

I don’t want you to keep procrastinating. Are you saying to yourself, “I’m afraid of what people might say or you are thinking don’t have any money. Well, let me tell you if God is calling your name He has every single thing you need. He’s opened the door patiently waiting for you to walk through it.

Don’t you think you’ve waited long enough to start that remarkable business? It’s time for you to let go of the negative mindset and replace it with positive thoughts such as, I am a wealthy woman and I love myself. I am a phenomenal woman of God. I am a river. I am prosperity riches and abundance. I am powerful and I am assets.

God has already equipped you with every tool and resource you need. These life-changing and business building commodities are going to help you to erect a rich foundation. One that is so strong and powerful that no man, wind nor rain can knock it down.

You have a lot of work to do so let’s get moving. You don’t have to be afraid and do not let your heart be afraid or troubled because God is with you with each layer you are laying. You only need to work on yourself to change your life and enjoy the fruits.

God planted the seeds in you a long time ago and He’s giving you the rain to grow your harvest along with the Son to grow and succeed. I don’t think it gets any better than this. The best thing you can do is obey God and as Dr. Charles Stanley says, leave all the consequences to Him.

Now go on and make up your mind to leap out in faith and change your life forever. Not only will you be changing your own life, but those who are searching for your services and/or products, they have a special treat coming their way because you, God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs, are brilliant in business.

To God be the glory forever and ever. Use them Lord, use them in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. Thank You, Lord, thank You.

Bless the Lord,

Cyndi

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

Stepping Out In Faith Once Again

Your Faith Walk

Stepping out in faith once againStepping out in faith, once again, I had finally found the courage to take that first into my greater. I have to say not only has my life shifted, but my mindset has taken me on a powerful journey in more ways than one. As a result, I am truly enjoying the life loving lessons that have positioned me for greatness. 
 
Firstly, during the building of my businesses, of which there are many, and all that I love, God has graciously deposited seeds into my garden. Upon watering these seeds, I along with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, have grown a bountiful harvest. This harvest, rich and plentiful, is the environment in which my mind lives, thrives and abundantly flourishes. 
 
Secondly, when I started out in business I had a powerful system in place.
 

Stepping Out In Faith Once Again To Be Bold and Brilliant

I quickly learned how to create my own marketing materials. I also learned the ins and outs of WordPress, which in my opinion, is one of the most complicated and amazing platforms on the planet. It was a difficult process, but one that I was willing and wanted to master. I am glad I did. WordPress has so much to offer in terms of helping you to build a professional blog or website. It has everything your business needs to help you to create a website masterpiece. WordPress can do wonders for your business if you’re willing to put in and do the work. You can transform your business if it’s presently stuck in the miry clay. Once you master WordPress I think you will see that it has everything you need for the success of your business. 
 
 Thirdly, I knew that if I was going to prosper any part of all of my business I had to read and learn about SEO to drive traffic to my blogs and website. 
 
I also learned about affiliate marketing. Google Adsense was one of the first programs of many that caught my attention. I signed up for an account and it took me a little over a year to receive my first $100 check. The reason why it took me so long was because I wasn’t getting nearly enough traffic to my sites. This seems to be a problem many blogger and business owners have. It wasn’t until I had a few bright bulb moments that I finally had/have money coming in from my websites as well as from my products and ebooks. 
 
If you’re struggling to prosper in business here are a few tips that I would like to offer you. I suggest you apply all these tips to generate more traffic to your business. Monetizing your business is one of the reasons you started your blog right? Why not utilize the resources available to you. 
 
May I suggest that you ask yourself the following questions:
 
Should you re-evaluate your goals?
What resources do you presently use to grow your business?
Do you use the various social media platforms available to you?
Have you found your target audience?
 
Ask yourself these important questions and I will help you search for answers.
 
Be blessed and be awesome!

A Fruitful Life

God has created us with a longing to know that our presence in this world counts. He also designed us to find the fulfillment of that desire through His Son Jesus Christ.

Dependence on God is central to an abundant life. Trusting Him with all our heart means giving Him control over our families, finances, jobs, and everything else. Today’s passage emphasizes how essential trust is to a fruitful life: we are cautioned against being wise in our own eyes and warned—twice—not to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5, 7).

When facing decisions, we can be tempted to gather information and choose the answer that looks right. But we can’t know all the facts or predict with certainty how others will respond. God, however, is omniscient. He “reads” hearts and perceives every thought; no aspect of our life escapes His notice (1 Chronicles 28:9; Psalms 11:4), and He cares about everyone. That’s why He alone knows which decision is best for each situation.

The abundant life also involves acknowledging the Lord in all we do. Speaking about Him is just part of what it means to give Him recognition. As His children, we are to have a marked resemblance to our heavenly Father—in thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Our priorities are to reflect His, and our plans should fit with His purposes.

Life becomes fruitful as we surrender ourselves to the Lord and carry out His will. By allowing His Spirit to live through us (Galatians 2:20), we will find our lives characterized by significance and satisfaction.

Write Your Goals

 

Be Anxious For Nothing

Be anxious for nothingThere’s a story I’d like to share with you.

Back in March I stopped my online sales for Beauty and the Face, LLC for personal reasons.

Even though I was no longer selling any of my beauty products I was still creating, writing and designing marketing materials. I want to be prepared so that when September comes in I’ll be ready to resume my online sales.

During this time that I was out of work, money was still flowing into me from other resources and I mean a lot of money.

One day when I was expecting another financial windfall and avalanche to flow in I did something to mess up this great avalanche of abundance. It was was entirely my fault.

When the funds began pouring into my life I was elated and beyond grateful. I am always beyond grateful aren’t I?

Well, as fast as the money was flowing into me from multiple sources, it stopped and I became very anxious, too anxious to be honest. I started beating myself up and asking myself why in the world did you do this? Was I being greedy or was I anxious? I would have to definitely say that I was being anxious as I’ve never been one to be greedy where money is concerned.

During this time, I had to remind myself of God’s word which is be anxious for nothing. This priceless verse of Scripture was speaking to me loud and clear. Isn’t something how certain verses of Scriptures leap into your heart in certain scenarios.  I learned, through all of the mistakes I had made, that I must remember to trust God. I took my mind, heart and eyes off of Him for a split second and my world changed.

I am here to tell you, God’s Virtuous Women Entrepreneurs, that no matter what kind of storm you find yourself in, you have to keep your faith and trust in God and believe that He is with you.

He will never leave you nor forsake you. God the Father promises to provide all that you need and He will.  Our gracious and merciful God will support you and love you with an unfailing love. You just have to trust Him.

And so in all my anxiousness I began praising and thanking God, in advance, for turning my situation right around. Isn’t it something how when we mess things up we have to call on God to help us because He only is our Rock. Somehow I forgot that for a moment. When I realized that all I have to do is trust Him, I calmed down, I asked Him to forgive me and once again, He opened the windows of heaven and now I’m back in the flow.

Thank You, Lord for all You do for me.

Be blessed,

Daily Encouragement for Female Entrepreneurs

Encouraging You To Be The Greatest Entrepreneur Ever

Encouragement. It’s a game changing component for anyone in business.

While I understand the essentials of business, from marketing to promoting, I also know the importance of encouragement.

Being a business owner goes way beyond the norm of all the intricacies that gets poured into a business. Building relationships, selling products and services that can change lives in a powerful way is the goal we should strive for.

As a business owner I have learned a very valuable lesson that I like to share with other women entrepreneurs.

Daily Encouragement for female entrepreneurs should be a way of life.

Encouraging one another through word, deed and/or action is also an important element for business. Starting each day encouraging yourselves is vital and should be your focus before you start your business day.

I like the idea of receiving encouragement and I love that I can do the same for others.

Did you know that you can encourage yourself.

Yesterday, as I set out to execute my to-do-list, I was excited because the Holy Spirit had spoken to me.

He clearly said, Cynthia, get up and update your Rubies in the Garden website. I immediately heeded His Word and logged into WordPress. Before logging into my WordPress account I took a good look at my existing website. I said, Cynthia, this is all wrong. You have to fix this! So I jumped right into work mode and worked until 9 last night. It took quite some time to get the right theme to match my thoughts, but I was finally able to get it all done. I didn’t need anything long and drawn out or super complicated because anyone who uses WordPress knows that it, along with all it’s themes, can be a challenge.

I finished updating my website, previewed it and then logged off. Rubies in the Garden is one of my many loves because it showcases my writing style. I get to provide other women with encouragement and much needed inspiration in a challenging world.

As you begin each day I hope you will encourage yourself because you are awesome women of God. You deserve only the best because you are the best.

Daily encouragement for female entrepreneurs; it is more powerful than you know.

Kingdom blessings,

Cyndi

The Abundance Prayer

In every thing give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Giving thanks to God is one of the most important things that you can do upon awakening to His glory, mercy and unfailing love.

I know that there are a lot of people who are going through difficult times in their lives right at this very moment. Financial struggles are real and people are desperate to change their financial forecast.

No matter what anyone is going through I think it is important that we sit back and reflect on the goodness of the Lord God Almighty and give Him thanks.

When March 2020 rolled around my recently married girlfriend called to ask if I could whip up a jar of butter cream for her dry skin. She has been suffering from dry skin for quite some time now and has tried just about every name brand to generic lotion in an effort to achieve her skincare goals. She has never tried my beauty products, Beauty and the Face, and decided to give me a call because she wanted to make a purchase. I told her that my business was on hold for a while because of all that was going on in our nation. She understood and thanked me. I promised to ship her a jar as soon as my store reopens this fall.

During this time, I was told by another friend that since my business was closed for the time being I should apply for UC. Let me say this; God is an awesome God, just phenomenal, understanding, good and great in every way. Not once has He ever failed me or left my side. Thank You, Lord God for all that You are doing for me. Please join me in giving God the thanks He richly deserves. He is worthy of our praise!

As a servant and faithful woman of God, I love to honor and glorify Him. I realize that no matter where I am in business I have to give God thanks. I have so much to be grateful for and I am sure you do too.

In every thing give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

When God wakes you up, be it in the wee hours of the night or whatever time you get up out of  your bed every morning, I want you to give Him thanks even before your feet hit the floor. The moment you realize that you have been awakened I want you to start singing God’s praise. This is a fantastic and really the only way to begin your day.

Giving God thanks puts you into the flow of having an amazing day as He is at the helm of your day, leading, guiding, directing and instructing you. God truly does guide you with His eye. You must learn to trust Him. He and only He will direct your paths and give you the desires of your heart.

Another way to show God how much you love and appreciate Him is to give. I have to tell you I love to give. I love to be a blessing to others and I give every week to help advance God’s Kingdom work. This is a wonderful to live your life. Giving showers you with such a great feeling of thanksgiving because being able to give is a form of thanksgiving, well at least for me it is and always will be.

So awesome women of God, in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Be blessed ladies,

Cyndi
