Are you ready to rumble? While I was working on my latest launched project "SistaSense Monthly (a 12 month audio newsletter)" I out of the blue started writing down phrases like "Hater Vs. Motivator", "Giver Vs Keeper", "Dreamer Vs Doer", "Wish Vs Work", "Fear Vs Fair" until I literally had so many of these on the page I had to stop and figure out what I was subconsciously getting at. Prepping for this new 12 month series all I could think about were these Internal Battles that we all must face with our inner selves.
At the time I was also thinking about New Year's Resolutions and how most people break them. I also thought about how easy it is to say, "man the year just flew by" and "God I hope this year will be better" BUT how much actually does change for us over the course of a year without us going through Internal Battles. Change does not come without the act of making a change. We don't just fall into things and I for one don't plan on waiting for things to fall into place because if/when they do I might not be here. Making every day count is the KEY but man is it a hard key to grasp!
2012 began and I was in a mini-funk. I wanted to stay in holiday / vacation mode. I wanted but didn't want to wrap up the launch of my new Money,Marketing, and Motivation Series. I needed to wrap up client projects, but couldn't find the time OR the energy to fit it in without all the battles going on in my head, literally keeping me in bed curled up with my Kindle wishing life could be just a little easier, a little less REAL.
But I gave myself that time to work through those internal battles and work on as much "work" as I could until now week 2 of year 2012 I am re-energized and ready to get back to doing what I do best "sharing those life lessons that make sense to me with you". I say this all to say outside of all the New Year New You Resolutions talk I wanted to talk about the truth. Truth is we can sometimes be our worst enemy. We can often times think ourselves out of our blessings. We can some times fill ourselves with disabling fear preventing us to really move forward as God intended "SO Eyes Wide Open" I go into 2012 knowing that it's time to rumble. I, you, we are all about to get KNEE deep in "You Vs You" Internal Battles, which will define how well each of us actualize the change that we desperately seek when this year ends and a new one begins.
I am ready to battle it out, so you'll be receiving an on going series from me on the Internal Battles we will all face this year (some of them I mentioned above). The first battle that started off my list was my "Elimination Vs Evolution" video. Point blank, I've watched hundreds if not thousands of black business / web business owners succumb to elimination these past few years while I've been able to stick around in large part because every year I go through an evolution process.
Right now you and your business are at a crossroads. You can either learn how to evolve and fight the odds or prepare for elimination (lost sales, suspended domains, websites gone and forgotten). I created the "Elimination Vs Evolution" video because I have some real eye openers to share with my fellow entrepreneurs who actually want their business to be around come 2013. I for one am in it to win it and I hope you are too!
That is all I have to say for today. I hope you enjoyed my 1st 2012 Motivational / Informational rant (lol). Be sure to watch the video and learn about my new 12 month audio newsletter + leave me a comment ... what do you think about my points on the significance of Internal Battles? Are there any battles you are preparing to fight this year?

I get it LaShanda. It's not that we don't love what we do, but we do get tired sometimes and want to just chill for a moment. I hope your Kindle got plenty of cuddle time from you! ;)
smooches,
