Be Divine

Posted by Joneen Horton on May 24, 2009 at 4:00am

I am a Divine Image. That’s something we need to internalize. We are created to be just like our Daddy! We’re all Daddies’ girls. Perhaps your relationship with your father in the natural was not great; maybe you don’t know who your father is. This is for you: your Father is in heaven and He created you to be just like Him. He made you to walk in power and authority, to master the situations and circumstances in life – not to be mastered. He made you to hold your head high and not settle for less than His best. He equipped you with His Spirit – His overcoming Spirit. He made you to get back up when you fall (or are knocked down), He’s daily calling you to know who you truly are and rise up and be Divine. He has a purpose for you and as you begin to acknowledge Him and allow him to show you who you truly are…the best days of your life will unfold before you. Just be Divine.

being black and growing up outside the US

Posted by FireHazard Jewelry on May 24, 2009 at 9:52pm

Lately i where thinking more and more about the status from black people here in the US and somewhere in europe.As for me, i grew up in germany.It was a tough and hard time and i hatet it, and hatet me and hatet the world and special everybody.My mothere, a redhead german woman, had a love story with an black US soldier. One of this guys who have been overseas and had lots of fun.i never met him.in fact, everybody lie to me and they told me that i'm half italian... pah, as i grew up, more and more i understood that i do not look anything italian like.I have been the only black person in my family, in my school, and in the city i grew up. nobody else has been black. ocasinaly i have seen in TV black people when i got older... Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, and such people, but they have been like out of space people for me because TV is not a thing i considered as something real.Only cyber people have been black... and mei allways have been different, girls did not liked me, boys did not dated me and their parents called me neger, what is like th n word here in the US.i have been all my life the neger and i hatet me, my family and the world for it.in the age of 9 i tryed with an heavy duty cleaning powder an a lavastone, to rubb this black coating out of my face.It did not worked, besides a big bad infection it has not changed anything.It the age of 12 i jumped from a bridge in a river, had enough and i did not wanted anymore. i can not swim and i where thinking t hat is the dafest and easiest way of ending all.what should i say, not even that worked out because somebody have sitted under the bridge, fishing and he saved me.In the age of 14, i met the first other black human being in real life, i steered at her like she really came from an other star. i was not able to believe that there are others being so wrong like i was.i followed her like a little dog.we became somewhen "friends", as a 14 year old can be friends with an 30something year old black woman who has been a musician.my life changed somewhat, but not enought to make me feel better or right.i feeled wrong my whole life long when i was young.Ok, i'm not sooo old, born in the 1968, it is not so much time ago.I moved and traveled since i have been 16. Since i mostly grew up in 14 different orphanages and with 9 different foster parents AND between that places at my families place, i had with 16 my nose full of the people who decide for me what have to be the best for me, and that without asking me how or what i fee.i just remember that they moved me somehow every 6 or 8 month to a new "home".none of that places ever have been my home and none of that places has been nice.One place has been good, between 8 and 10 years i had a foster family who really liked me and they wanted even adopting me. they have not letted them and they moved me again.people allways, besides them, gave me the feeling that i'm wrong.my nose was to wide, my underlip to big, my hair to nappy, my hands and feets to slim a nd long, my butt to different, my eyes to black and my face to dark... under the line, has not been anything nice or fine or just only ok.still i somewhat have a strange feeling about me, my color and my being. but it is ok and most time i do not even think about. at least not aslong nobody just kicks my nose right on it.i had that at the place where i lived before. as being an somewhet seriously and professional business person, people have had problems with taking my business and me for real. many backed out of making business with me at the moment they figured out that i'm black...my personal ego is not big, it does not even need to be big. I know what i'm, i know how am i'm looking like, but i also know what i'm able to do.i was living an many different countries to seek for the heaven for people with my color. i have not been able to find that heaven for many many years.i learned many differnt languages from the countries i used to live, i understood the languages but i did not like t he meanings when it came to the things of black people.finaly i have moved 2 and somewhat years ago to the US.Now, for me, i found the heaven. it is here, in america...i think that native black americans may not believe it, but, there is not such other place where we can feel save and right.landing the first day in atlanta gave me almost a shock... all people at the airport seemed to be black.gosh, nobody is anymore looking at me. i'm one from many and nobody takes notice about my being black...i'm almost 41 year old and with almost 40 i learned to relaxe and not ever anymore to excuse my color.in fact, here i just be.america has his own issues, that for sure. there are many things i dislike about this country. but, as being a black person, it seems to be the best place to be somewhat relaxed about being black.thank you all your black people in this country that you are around me, somewhere, to make me feel good

The Most Powerful Internet Marketing Tool

Posted by LaShanda Henry on May 21, 2009 at 12:53am

I hate secrets, don’t you? I spent so many years online looking at gurus and big shot bloggers trying to figure out how they actually made money online and no one would tell me! Everyone tells you how easy it is to sign up for affiliate links, but nobody tells you how hard it is to get folks to click your ads. Everyone tells you that you have to have a website or a blog if you want to build your business, but no one tells you WHAT TO DO when people aren’t coming to your website or even worse, when their coming to your website but Nobody is buying.

NETWORKING FOR INTERDEPENDENCE

Posted by Onyx Six on April 20, 2009 at 5:43pm

- NETWORKING FOR INTERDEPENDENCE -By: Lyndsey ShafferStephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" teaches us that interdependence is the level of growth we must achieve to allow us to be, create or attain greatness we may not otherwise achieve independently. To combine the talents of a few to reach an outcome that may be greater than that of an individual is truly a lesson that should be carried into business networking.Very few professionals network for interdependence. Instead, they network for leads and sales. When you approach business networking with such a short sighted goal, the results yielded are sure to be just as shallow. This brings about a host of problems such as fighting for customer retention and the constant need to resort to overly aggressive sales tactics. We must network for interdependence, not leads.Click here http://www.onyxsix.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=83:networking-for-interdependence&catid=26:work-a-life&Itemid=13 to read more.- SIGN UP FOR THE ONYX SIX NEWSLETTER -Sign up for our free newsletter to receive information on upcoming events, business advice and special offers from Onyx Six click here http://oi.vresp.com/?fid=ef70831112 to opt in.

Social Networking Profit Possibilities for Entrepreneurs

Posted by LaShanda Henry on April 12, 2009 at 5:59pm

When I created my own social network, Black Business Women Online, my initial intention was to simply network with other women in business. However, over 5,000 members later and the BBWO Space has turned into so much more. Having created a space that works for my target I quickly began to see my sales increase along with the visibility of my primary business. For me, the key to social networking success is creating a niche-specific space that you are interested in, being as active as you want your members to be, and always working to create a quality space with great content. Between ad sales, direct sales, and a constant influx of customer questions, my social network has benefited me in more ways than one. And the best part is that my members love it too and credit it to be one of the few places they can really connect with other women entrepreneurs of color. I turned my Social Networking Success Story into an eBook to help other new network creators.

Tips To Avoiding Foreclosure!

Posted by Yvonne Long on March 28, 2009 at 12:57pm

TIPS FOR AVOIDING FORECLOSUREAre you having trouble keeping up with your mortgage payments? Have you received a notice from your lender asking you to contact them?- Don’t ignore the letters from your lender- Contact your lender immediately- Contact a financial counselorIf you are unable to make your mortgage payment:1. Don’t ignore the problem.The further behind you become, the harder it will be to reinstate your loan and the more likely that you will lose your house.2. Contact your lender as soon as you realize that you have a problem.Lenders do not want your house. They have options to help borrowers through difficult financial times.3. Open and respond to all mail from your lender.The first notice you receive will offer good information about foreclosure prevention options that can help you weather financial problems. Later mail may include important notice of pending legal action. Your failure to open the mail will not be an excuse in foreclosure court.4. Know your mortgage rights.Find your loan documents and read them so you know what your lender may do if you can’t make payments. Learn about the foreclosure laws and timeframes in your state ( as every state is different) by contacting the State Government Housing Office.5. Understand foreclosure prevention options.Valuable information about foreclosure prevention (also called loss mitigation) options can be found on the internet at www.fha.gov/foreclosure/index.cfm.6. Prioritize your spending.After healthcare, keeping your house should be your first priority. Review your finances and see where you can cut spending in order to make your mortgage payments. Look for optional expenses-cable TV, memberships, entertainment-that you can eliminate. Delay payments on credit cards and other “unsecured” debt until you have paid your mortgage.7. Use your assets.Do you have asset-a second car , jewelry, a whole life insurance policy-that you can sell for cash to help reinstate your loan? Can anyone in your household get an extra job to bring in additional income? Even if these efforts don’t significantly increase your available cash or your income, they demonstrate to your lender that you are willing to make sacrifices to keep your home.8. Avoid foreclosure prevention companies?You don’t need to pay fees for foreclosure prevention help-use that money to pay the mortgage instead. Many for-profit companies will contact you promising to negotiate with your lender. While these may be legitimate businesses, they will charge you a hefty fee (often two or three month’s mortgage payment) for information and services.9. Don’t lose your house to foreclosure recovery scams!If any firm claims they can stop your foreclosure immediately if you sign a document appointing them to act on your behalf, you may well be signing over the title to your property and becoming a renter in your own home! Never sign a legal document without reading and understanding all the terms.10. Don’t procrastinate!Innovative Realty Solutions Group Inc.321.217.4321Yvonne Long, Realtoryvonnel.long@gmail.com

Stuff Happens...

Posted by Joneen Horton on March 29, 2009 at 8:32pm

A bold life says; “I know that stuff happens, but I assuredly know that God loves me; therefore I will not be moved.” Jesus said that He has come “that [we] may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” (John 10:10, AMP) There will be challenges and oppositions in life, but that neither negates God’s love for us nor destroys the good life that he has preordained for us (see Ephesians 2:10).Have confidence that God’s love for you is unending, unyielding and immovable. Be rooted and grounded in His love (Ephesians 3:17) and begin to live your life boldly!check out more here: http://www.divineimage.org/articles.asp?columnid=5360

Why this Economy is exactly what you need??!!

Posted by Richelle Shaw on November 24, 2008 at 1:27am

Why this economy is just what you need?Being a winner takes practice and the only way to truly test your skills is to have some adversity.I know I know you say but Richelle, did it have to be this bad. The answer is YES. My friend Debbi Somers and I chat about this often. A little background, Debbi owns Somers Furniture which has morphed from a convention rental company to events rental, custom furniture manufacturer for all of the hot spots in Vegas. Debbi's business generates close to $5million in sales every year. Not by accident! She says, Richelle, I have had to re-invent myself 4 times in the last 19 years. There were several years that I did not take a salary in order to keep my good employees and keep cash flow going but I work better in times of struggle.Instead of taking lots of vacations, I work on the business 24/7. I am up thinking of what next.That is the piece that is missing from many of the struggling businesses right now – the What Next factor.Bill Glazer is president of Glazer Kennedy Insider’s Circle and his formula for a successful business includes the WN, which is What Next. This should be an on going process so that during times of struggle, you have a back up plan.Instead of thinking about what is wrong with the economy, your mind should shift to what is wrong with your business.Why are your customers not coming back?Why was your service the first service cut in a weak economy?What are people spending money on right now?The answer to question number 1 is usually, because you forgot to keep in touch with your customers. You only communicated with them when you got around to it and to only ask them for money. You forgot to have a real relationship with constant dialog and working together.The answer to number 2 – you took anyone who would buy, instead of focusing on clients who are more geared to the affluent who still have equity in their homes, who still have a safety net, who are not price shoppers.The answer to number 3 – the mall was full when I went to vote, with lots of bags and packages, people are buying. Marketing to the affluent is your safeguard against what is going on in this economy. They understand a bargain, they are looking for great deals. Be sure that you are able to provide them.If you are struggling to build your business, not coming up with ideas during this recession - join us in the Women of Color Coaching Program.www.womenofcolorcoach.org to download the application!

Five Steps to Improving Your Self Esteem

Posted by Kimberly Ware on February 19, 2009 at 2:17am

Five Steps to Improving Your Self EsteemBy: Kimberly S. WareLow self-esteem can keep you from reaching your dreams. Imagine yourself being chained up. The chain represents low self-esteem. You see your doors of opportunity right in front of you. You start to run your opportunity but the chain of low self-esteem keeps you from reaching your fullest potential. Believe in yourself and know that spirit will guide you to your purpose.There are five major steps you can take to build self-esteem. The first step is to stop putting yourself down. Brothers and sisters know that you are special and somebody.Number two start believing and loving yourself. One exercise that helped me over the years is the Louise Hay’s mirror work exercise. What you do is look in a mirror and say it with feeling.” I am beautiful I am special and I am somebody and most of all I love myself.” And it’s OK to say it with an attitude! You must know it, say it, speak it, and believe it!Number three find your purpose. Start looking at some of the things that interests you, such as your hobby. What are you good at? Everyone has a divine gift. My gift is to write and speak. What’s yours? If you don’t know, then you must do some soul searching and eventually you will find out what the creator has put here to do.Number four is to let go of negative people and bad habits. This is what a lot of people have a heard time doing. If the people you associate yourself with are constantly putting you down, calling you outside your name, telling you that you are ugly, stupid, and a nobody and won’t amount to anything then cut them lose. Let these people go. Like the comedian Martin Lawrence always say, “Get The Steppin!” These negative people are not worth it.Number five you must walk out on faith and make your dreams a reality. I took steps to making my dreams a reality when I was eighteen years old; I first started writing my first novel. And you too can start taking steps to making your dreams a reality. You must work it people! Stop seeing yourself as being unattractive and see yourself as a beautiful spiritual being. And remember that beauty is beyond skin deep, it is what’s inside that really counts.Excerpt from Kimberly S. Ware's upcoming book, “Spiritual Pathway: A Guide to Accomplishing Your Dreams" (www.kimberlyware.com)
