BBWO:

As you may have heard, Ning.com will be closing all free networks and focusing specifically on paid subscribers. A few of you have asked about how this will affect BBWO. This network has long since been a premium Ning space, so I intend on keeping the network open. If changes will be made after the May 4th Ning Updates, I will keep you posted. Read more about Ning changes.

Tonight I am excited about speaking on Business Monday Motivation with Pam Perry at 6pm - 7pm est. Join us tonight.

While I have yet to respond to this, I've spent some time thinking about one members post (view here) and her current struggles turning her dreams into reality. We all have moments when we feel defeated and we haven't even truly started actualizing the vision.

Today I want you to both respond to her story and share your own. If you need to shout something out this is a time to do so. If you want to show someone else how to get out of today and improve their business in one way or another, please do so. Let us shout it out .. motivate, inspire and inform each other today. Comment below or visit forum and respond to this post.

  • I am reading this book call you are the next top success story. I would like to share some words of encouragement to that sister who think she is defeated.

    Persevere! Peserverance means steady persistance in a course of action in spite of all difficulties, obstacles or discouragement. In order to achieve your goals and become successful you must presevere. When I am working on completing a goal and ostacles appear. I remember a passage from years ago from the wiritings of "Nicheren Daishonin. " it state s the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel 11 but stop with only one remainning, how can you admire the moon over the capital?' remembering this helps me to push myself a little bit more. You may make mistakes when you are working on getting your book published. Don't let that stop you. There are millions of ways to make a dollar now a days. Try network marketing. It will at least bring in a paycheck. So you can stop being so broke. There are several network marketing businesses out there.Find one that you beleive in and make it work for you. I know I sell the Ardyss Body Magic product. Women Love it it is a very inexpensive way to start bringing in a few extra bucks. There are yardsales and flea markets, There are just so many things out there. Remember Philipians 4:13, I can do all things in Christ Jesus who stregthens me. People who presevere become successful because they learn form their mistakes and keep moving forward.

    Check out my site at www.anointedaffairs.com. This too was a dream several years ago, which I gave up on. And then one day I thought about what were my plans after retirement fromt the military. What would I do. Would I just sit home and be bored to death. Or would I commit to accomplishing my lifelong dream of owning my own business. I read and studied and took classes and training and before I new it I could see it happening. Of couse it is still a work in progress. Just knowing that with perserverance my doors are open. So please start working on completing a goal you would like to accomplish. And keep working on it until it is finished. When something doesn't wotrk right, try again and again. The more difficult the task, The better. Don't stop until it is done.

    Remener the old saying from Harriett Tubman

    " If you are tired, keep going, if you are scared, keep going; if you are hungry, keep going; if you want freedom; keep going.

    So to you my sister all I can say is KEEP GOING!!! You are so close but it may seem so FAR!!!

    Remember Keep Going!!


    Peace and Blessings,

    Vernessa
