The owner of a body butter business, I try to keep butters, essential oils, bottles and jars fully stocked because when orders pour in I need to fulfill them in a timely fashion. Having disposal income has been a blessing. It is so very true when you hear one say, God will supply our every need through His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I am grateful.

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.

Let It Go And Let It Flow

Blessings of Peace, Abundance, Wealth and Prosperity

Let it go and let it flow

I’m sure you have heard the saying, “let go and let God”. It’s great for life and business!

For some letting go and letting God is hard to do. I don’t know why, but it is. For others, letting go and letting God is as easy as 1-2-3.

I think by developing the right mindset it can help us to let go and let God take control of our lives to ensure more than our success. Letting God also means that He will instruct and teach us on how to use the power He has given to get the wealth that He has promised us. Along with trusting and having faith in God, we can let go and enjoy the peace, abundance, wealth and prosperity that is our divine right.

When I began my work from home journey you should have seen me. I was working both day and night typing and transcribing desperate to earn the same amount of money or more that I was working at my previous job. I was able to procure multiple typing jobs within a few days of opening the doors to my work from home business. For me, it was one typing job after the other. They were coming at me quickly and effortlessly. 

I contracted to type dissertations and term papers. Typing and transcribing jobs were falling into my lap quicker than I ever could have hoped for, but I was not enjoying any of it. I was not fulfilled. And thought my work at home business was great in terms of making money there was always something more. I could just feel in my heart that there was something greater inside me; something profound, amazing and deeply life changing.

When I finally realized that life changing component that had been nesting in my heart it was on many levels. It was September 2002 when I discovered the art of design. I was sitting on the moon when I began turning out design after design. Listen, I skipped the mountain and went straight to the moon.

I was elated because I was surrounded by stars and everyone of those illuminating stars encompassed me. My name was even written on every one of those stars. That was when I knew that the art of design was going to allow me to expand and explode my design business.

In Awe of God’s Greatness

My graphic design business allowed me to birth a multitude of businesses in a unique and powerful way. I was in awe when I birthed all of my babies months apart from each other.

Beautiful in their unique way my babies started to grow beyond the images in my imagination. I happily continue to nourish my babies a little on a weekly basis. I have been thankful that the something greater has helped me to meet my financial goals. Here’s the thing though. My focus was never about making money even though I had a real live money making empire. I was focused on designing and writing.

I started designing some of the most magnetic and unique masterpieces ever to grace a blank canvas. I had fallen deeply in love with designing and haven’t stopped. It’s my love. Friends and family became my customers when they saw what I was doing and loving. They didn’t know what my designs were and frankly I wasn’t sure at the time either. My initial thought was that I would sell tee shirts and mugs, but when I was asked to design logos I left that side of my business and made logo designing a new extension to my existing business. I am still creating logos to this day. I told myself that I am going to get back to my original concept and take Cyndi’s Designs to a place where it has never gone before. It’s all in the planning stages at the moment.

Letting God’s Goodness Flow In

Being able to tap into God’s rich reservoir of ornaments of grace I birthed yet another business; Beauty and the Face. This business has brought pure joy into my life simply because I get to provide women with beauty products that are through the roof incredible!

I started out with one product and now I am embarking on clouds of thankfulness as I am about to include a new sister into the family; hand sanitizer.

Now let me tell you. My body butter business had come to a halt, but my faith kept me growing stronger and stronger and with all that strength I am giving God thanks every day of my life.

Perhaps my life would look very differently if I had known, with a clear understanding, of what it meant to have faith in God and to trust and believe in Him wholeheartedly and I do mean wholeheartedly.

Letting Go Of Fear

You see there was this one component that had taken over my life. Fear. Yes, fear.

Fear had not only gripped my world, but it seemed to shape my life.

Tired of living my life in bondage I created and designed a life map of my own only to find out that Cynthia’s map had me in total confusion. When I finally decided to execute the plan and follow the path that God had devised for me it was then that my life changed in profound ways and so did my businesses. I learned that God’s map is the only map I need and want to follow.

When I let go of all the fear, worry, stress and the thoughts of struggle peace, abundance, wealth and prosperity began to flow into my life. I let it go and things began to flow.

Letting go and letting it flow has been one of the best decisions I have made for my life and empire. This life altering element has being a blessing in my life. I am not longer being pulled in different directions trying to escape fear.

Every time I manifest money I was beating my brain trying to figure what prayer or affirmation I spoke that got the money flowing into my life. When I finally let go and really allowed faith to grip me God’s favor covered me as a shield. It was when I started speaking Gods word back to Him that the Angels started to bring forth large sums of money into my life.

I was elated because this meant that I get to give more of me than I ever have before. I love it because I love to give. I absolutely love the fact that I can share and give all that God gives me. I also know the importance of being obedient to God and that’s how I try to live my life; in obedience to Him.

Did you know when you let go money just flows. You don’t have to try to figure it out because you won’t be able to. I love the fact that I can let go and watch it flow. It’s just that easy.

I used to think wanting money was embarrassing. What in the world. What a warped way of thinking. I released this crazy mindset and now I have a wealthy mindset that serves me extremely well. I am beyond grateful. Giving thanks for the lessons and all that I have and have been given has changed my life so much so that I cannot giving God glory and by the way all that I do is for the glory of His name.

If you are holding on to negative thoughts and you are fearing something and you’re stuck, I recommend trying to let it go and let peace, abundance, wealth and prosperity flow. Your mind will shift and your life will never be lived in bondage ever again. I promise.

You want to learn exactly how I let it go and let it flow? Stay tuned for my newest ebook.  You will not want to miss it. It is a must have for all women entrepreneurs.

All for the Glory of God,

Cynthia

You Are The Head

And You Always Will Be

Let Us Give God Glory!

You are the head

Deuteronomy 28:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

The Head

Yes, you are the head and not the tail. You are the leader, the CEO, CFO, the pioneer and you are, well, simply wonderful!

Being an entrepreneur has brought me great joy. When I get to use my gifts for Gods glory it gives me a sense of peace and happiness that floods my soul. My gifts from God also remind me that I am the head!

Taking the appropriate steps to achieve the goals God has laid before me has helped me to devise an awesome plan by putting a unique system in place for the success of my businesses.  I am loving my entrepreneurial journey more than I ever thought could be or would be possible.

I am thankful for all that our Heavenly Father has done for me. I’m not going to write or say even through…… I’m just going to give God the glory for all that He has and continues to do in my life.

It is with a grateful spirit that I share my testimony with you. You see God has gifted me a wealth of knowledge, along with sprinkles of understanding in business. As an entrepreneur, I sincerely appreciate being given the opportunity to wake up each day to put into action God’s purpose and plan for my life. 

As I utilize my fullest potential I incorporate some of my own ideas to help me to create and design a remarkable model for my success. That recipe includes having faith in God and trusting Him with each step that I take. It is then that I see motivating progress which then motivates me to do even more where my businesses are concerned.

Using the incredible business building tools and resources out in the world of business, I shape my own success and I get to enjoy that success day after day.  We, as Christian women business owners, have the fantastic ability and skill sets that can place us in a class all alone, but why would we want to. We are so awesome and brilliant, caring and always willing to share the gifts we have received that we look forward to be blessings to others.

You Are Cynsational And You Always Will Be!

We have this cynsational ability to prosper, grow rich and be wealthy. Single-highhandedly we can transform businesses and other people’s lives just by the words we speak as long as we are speaking from the heart.

Our mountain-moving techniques, tools and strategies can also be life-changing for ourselves as well as others. This, too, should clothe us in layers of warmth that lets us blanket another woman’s world thereby helping her to create, by design, a flourishing business that she too can enjoy in unlimited ways.

Looking back at the path and the foundation God has helped you to design for your own empire can you honestly say that He has shown you some amazing things you never could have learned or figured out on your own. Do you realize that It is because of God that you have your being and everything that comes with it. You are indeed the head and not the tail.

Have there been some quiet times in your life where you can honestly say God has spoken clearly to you and you’ve just closed your eyes in thankfulness.

During some of the most quietest times in my life, which have gratefully been during the months of March, April and May I have kept still in some aspects of my businesses. It is now that I have received the go ahead to begin forging ahead.

Right now, at this very spectacular moment I am, once again, breaking out into another new creative idea that reminds me that I am the head and not the tail. I am above only and not beneath. In other words I am enjoying businesses that are highly successful on so many levels.

It is my sincerest prayer that you will take whatever time God has allotted you to grow the seeds that He has planted within you.

This is one way that you can always secure your success and soar like you have never soared before in your life as well as in your business.

Be blessed,

Let’s work this thing together!

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

Welcome March

We Embrace Your Wealth

February 2020 has come and March boldly made its entrance for the very first time in 2020. 

I enjoyed February even with all the challenges I had to face. 

I made up my mind to get out more and just enjoy the moments that create the minutes and hours of each day. 

I was able to get some things accomplished and the goals that are still penned to my to do list I will revisit. One goal and achievement at a time. Hmmm. Time. 

Time is the one gift that I will no longer take for granted. 24 hours in a day is a lot of time to get things done. Time is like money. If you use it wisely you will always be rich. And so I’ve made up my mind not to waste another moment of the time I’ve been gifted. 

My morning routine sets the tone for my entire day. It is important for me to have early morning time to prepare for all the things I need to accomplish for each new day. 

My day begins with a thankful heart. 

I close my eyes and envision the future which is each moment of the present. It is then that my mind shifts and places me in a completely new environment inside my mind. One that is focused and positive and spilling over with thanksgiving. I have to give God thanks for a myriad of blessings that consistently come to me on a daily all day long basis. I am grateful for God’s unconditional love, His grace, His mercy, provision, protection, His generosity, His Son, Jesus and for His Holy Spirit. 

Giving thanks to God is the environment in which I live, breathe and thrive. 

And so with March coming to stay with me for 31 days, I’m going to enjoy her. I welcome her with open arms. I am ready to receive all the good and wonderment she has for me. I’ll share them with you once she has left 2020.

Letting Go of Fear

To Start Your Own Brand, Business and Be Blessed

Letting go of fear to focus on you, start your own brand business and for the glory of God’s name! 

Letting the fear of everything go now today. 

Women. We are entrepreneurs, speakers, motivators, writers, creative beings and the list goes on to infinity and beyond. 

We are a special group of remarkable women who have been brilliantly equipped to take a seed, plant it, water it with our minds to produce greatness. And like the rivers of water these seeds never stop growing.  This is your potential.

Able, capable and powerful, we recognize our own unique strengths as well as our own unique weaknesses that at some point become our overall strengths. 

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.

You Are Limitless

And All Of Your Goals Are Doable

You Are Limitless

God Day Women of Excellence,

Allow me to get straight to the point. You are limitless.

As a community of female entrepreneurs I know that you are striving towards making all of your dreams a reality.

It can be challenging when running a business and it is always beyond rewarding. Here’s why.

As business leaders in a community of other Christian women business owners you get to give. Giving is an enormous part of being successful.

I love that I get to share and give what others are searching for. It could be just about anything, but as business owners we all have a niche that is attached to our everlasting brands. My niche is creating and designing specific products and services to serve others in a special kind of way. 

Being authentic and true to yourself is another piece that will help to make all of your businesses successful. You are limitless which means that you can build your empire on all that you provide and create. 

Having multiple rivers, which is what I like to say, of income is doable as long as they are all relative.

For me, having a design business where I get to create inspirational heart art makes me shout for joy because I am simply doing something I love. The most important aspect of this is that I get to share it with a very special audience that I target whenever I make something new.

I also love developing new body butter formulas for my line of skincare products.

When I hand craft body butter creams it gives me a great sense of joy because I know that I’ll be shipping to my customers all natural wholesome products.

With all of the dreams, concepts, goals and visions that have helped you to create your unique brand you should recognize the fact that you are limitless because your dreams never die.

On this entrepreneurial journey that you are embarking on, it should be one of fulfillment and gratefulness.

Always remember that there is no one like you and with the service or product you provide, your brand stands out from among the rest. This alone should be reason enough for you to continue doing all that you love and what you were created to do.

I can’t stress enough that God has given you some of the most wonderful gifts an entrepreneur could ask for. Use them for the glory of His name so that you prosper in all that you do!

Remember, you are limitless. God created you that way. Also remember, DO NOT let money dictate your mood. Keep your energy high because you women of virtue are truly phenomenal.

How To Increase Your Income

How I Increased My Income and

Started Making Money in Business. 

Literally sitting on a gold mine, I had several businesses in place. Making a few dollars here and there; it wasn’t what I envisioned in hopes of getting money flowing into my life on a consistent basis. You know the kind of money that comes in the form of a usually guaranteed paycheck when you work for a large corporation. 

As an entrepreneur, I knew what working for someone else entailed; a cap on my salary along with a long list of negatives that are just too many to name. Here’s the thing though; at least you know you’ll be getting paid at the end of the week or two weeks however their payment system is setup. Weekly is always nice and everyday is even nicer!!!  

How I Started To Increase My Income

I had to increase my income from a need.

It seems we all always need something which is why I do what I do.

I have always known that one day I would start a ministry which would stem from my own needs and now I get to share my own, real life experiences in hopes to help you to change your life in the most uplifting and powerful way ever!

For me all was quiet. I couldn’t seem to get enough money coming into my house no matter what I did, but here’s the thing; it wasn’t what I was doing, but it was what and how I was thinking.

I was doomed to fail. I was blocking every opportunity to have money flowing into my business on a constant basis by focusing on all the wrong things. I had, unknowingly, put a wall and then a ceiling around, up and all around myself that kept money from coming to me. I work for myself so why are there walls and ceilings in terms of making money blocking my blessings.

Well it was because I put them there by the power of my mind. Here I am. God has given me the power to get wealth and I am failing at every turn. 

Years were passing me by and I’m still sitting in the same exact place that I was almost twenty years ago. I knew that I needed to have more than a light bulb moment. I needed a wake up call and a life changing mindset!!!

Prosperity Is Real And My Hands Now Feel It!

As I ran my business here from the comfort of my home, I was talking to my girlfriend, Kina, everyday. We were accountability partners. If you don’t have one, I suggest you get a partner asap.

Kina and I were talking about our businesses everyday. The conversation seemed to be never ending because it was. We both had brilliant ideas in terms of making our businesses prosper, but we were talking with the lowest energy one could muster up. We were at all excited about the things we shared with each other. We allowed money, or the lack thereof, to dictate our mood. No, No, No!!! Don’t ever allow not having money dictate how you feel. It’s ridiculous.

Okay, so my friend and I had to come to a conclusion and we concluded that we were going to first, really let the Holy Spirit speak to and guide us on our entrepreneurial journeys. And then were going to branch out in our minds, be bold and do what we were birthed and created to do. Along with faith in God, Kina and started taking even more inspired action than we had ever taken before. Guess what? It has been a game changer for both of us.

Kina started selling her printables on Amazon and it took off like a sky rocket orbiting into and creating a planet of itself. For me and my business, things have been a little slower, but still the sales are coming in and we are both two sincerely grateful Sisters!

As I begin to venture out, all things relative to each and every one of my businesses, I am elated that I get to share all that I do with other women and teenage girls. It is a blessing.

Not only is money flowing into both our businesses, but we so deeply grateful for learning the valuable lessons that we have and continue to learn as we boost our brands. It’s a fun and exciting time.

There is nothing like working for yourself and sharing your services and or products that somehow in someway change lives.

Also, changing our mindsets as we use our imagines and as we speak things into existence claiming God’s promises also makes all the difference in the world.

So go on and believe in yourself. Write out those awesome plans for you and your family. Apply them to your business. Make sure that your mind lives and breeds in a healthy environment. This is part of the master key to wealth and don’t you deserve. I want to see you with all the money you need.

All for the glory of God,

Cyndi
