circle (2)

There has been a incredible shift in the world around us.  From the Northeast hurricane, to many people stepping out on pure faith and starting new businesses, ending unhealthy relationships to even finally taking health seriously. We’re all being charged with “purging” something. In the midst of this though…doesn’t mean there are challenges or days when you simply want to “quit”.

YOU KNOW
::The client money isn’t coming in on time

::The husband just “ain’t acting right”

::The kids are a mess at school

::Your stress level is out of wack

::Your business is good…but it’s not “great”

::You seem to be working harder for the same result.

::You feel enslaved to your purpose.

As women we come as a package deal and with that means that often overwhelming feeling of wishing and wanting to just “quit” – to let it all go. To throw in the towel and just let the sh!% it the fan!

I know that feeling and I have to have a “come to Jesus”  meeting with myself. And get real.

It’s time someone offered you a dose of truth…and that is

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Truth be told, women of color tiptoe around our issues in our lives and ultimately our businesses. We don’t invest in ourselves however we expect others to invest in us.

Do you? Do  you invest in yourself or do you quit at the thought of doing the work

QUIT at the thought of truly asking for assistance and support in growing your business or how women like Cameka Smith (founder of Forbes.com listed BOSS Network) has done by fostering a community of women entrepreneurs who network for good?

QUIT feeling like you can’t really work with other women because “they always want to take what’s mines”. And the hard work of learning to trust your own “GET IT GIRL!” so you can work with other women without the “crabs-in-the-barrel mentality” like LaShanda Henry (founder of Black Business Women Online) did with her girlfriends

QUIT at the thought of truly (and I mean truly) investing in quality mentorship and guidance and humbling yourself to end the thinking that you must do everything on your own or that perhaps Women of Color can’t produce high quality events and workshops that are impactful and profitable like thePOWER CIRCLE Conference & Expo happening Jan 2013.

What’s my point? I’ve been in a “Inner BITCH” release pilgrimage for some time involving releasing all the GUNK that was stuck in my belief system for too long.  My sister on this journey of complete liberation and I have been charged with not only calling ourselves out…but other women. Particularly women of color and Black women more specifically on how our emotional wellness is the TRUE source of abundance.

If you’re still reading I offer that I realize this post is making tons of assumptions about you – the reader – but perhaps it’s not. Perhaps somewhere inside of you, a-lot of this rings true. If not to this extreme, perhaps in your own self-sabotaging efforts to define “success” merely as the sum of your bank account or based on the number of episodes of  Donald Trump’s
The Apprentice” you’ve been able to copy-cat in your own business journey.

Whatever it is…there is a time to call it quits, but not on yourself…but on the nonsense that is causing many of us to live beneath the truth of our possibilities. The truth is that there is another more authentic way of living and creating and this video offers a bit of that truth.

Overwhelmed but NOT tired

How can I be tired? I haven't really even got started yet...I mean I've been at this online thing for a while now and am just now really ready to DO THIS THING- you know what I mean?

 

I had the awesome opportunity to be present at the SistaSense Power Circle TeleSummit for Web Entrepreneurs and I'm telling you, it was off the hook! I came away from this Summit with the 'tools' and knowledge of how-to do what I am passionate about doing. I have more clarity and understanding as to what direction to take my business now.

 

I am re-inventing myself and my business. I'm restless because I want to do more and offer more to my current clients and the new ones to come. I want to change the way things are done and make it better.

 

There was soooo much senergy/energy over the air ways, you could cut it with a knife!

ALL the presenters were jazzed and brimming over with confidence and surety that what they were doing they were supposed to be doing. They had a "I got this thing" attitude. They knew their stuff and they eloquently imparted to us what they intended for us to have. They did it with such class and style.

 

No more excuses about not having the time because of this or that...I must schedule EVERYTHING (with balance) and prioritize the 'fires' that 'come up'...just because someone else has an emergency in their life, doesn't mean it has to become mine.

 

Working from home can be a challenge because your loved ones tend to think they can hang out with you all day and that you don't have real work to do.

 

We have to inform them that you still work, but your office is at home and that you are doing real work right from the comfort of your own home.

 

I am making strides a little at a time. Even though I want to take leaps, my life and the responsibilities I have right now won't allow me to. But it's OK. As long as I do a little bit consistently I will get to my destination sooner than later.

 

Tired? I'm not tired. Overwhelmed? Yes. Overwhelmed with the joy and peace of knowing that I'm on the right track and connected to the right people. I can truly say with confidence, I WILL see you at the top!
