A question with appearance!!

Ladies, we are so determined to do things to make us so beautiful on the outside. We have our nails, hair and make-up done to perfection. We rock the latest in designer clothes, accessories and yes shoes all those shoes!! There is nothing wrong with doing so. However, when will our aspirations make us look good on the inside? When will we seek time to look inside our spirit in order to bring out the best in us? When will we take time out to motivate our inner being; to be our own boss, get out of debt, have more positive relationships and be successful on the inside? Ladies, we all know most of us have waited at the hair salon including myself, for hours to get that updo, sidesweep, extensions. weave, and curly look. However, my question to you is can we allot 10 minutes a day to connect and empower ourselves or is it asking to much???

We often find ourselves regretting where we are in life. This sends us on a spiraling journey downward as we begin complaining and nourishing fear which is the enemy of faith.One key area in living a prosperous life is having an attitude of gratitude.Let's take a look further into the definition of gratitude. Gratitude-State of being grateful. Grateful-Thankful or appreciative.Having an attitude of gratitude will provide the following benefits, not necessarily in the order written.Provides clear vision.Allows free course for Father God to reward you.Stops the cancer of murmuring and complaining in it's Tracks.Ignites the fire for an atmosphere of praise.An attitude of gratitude will render an altitude of Good success.You can take time to think of a few more. The word tells us in I Thess 5:18 to give thanks in everything.Give thanks for your temple. God's gift to us is life what we do with it is our gift to Him.This is not speaking of being thankful that you had an accident, being thankful that you lost your job, being thankful that your children don't have clothes or food to eat. No! It is speaking of an attitude of thankfulness, gratitude and thereby praise. Let's put it this way, it may seem that you've lost more than you imagined that you would at this time, however, an attitude of gratitude would be thankful that you didn't lose it all.Thanks in the greek means; eucharisteo (Yoo-khar-is-the'-o) to be grateful, (act) to express gratitude (towards).Live long and prosper with an attitude of gratitude.Your attitude determines your altitude.(c) Robin G.

What one thing do successful entrepreneurial women practice?You've heard the quote that successful people do what unsuccessful aren't willing to do.Although their are many habits that successful women, people for that matter there is one thing that if continued will separate the doers from the thinkers.That one thing is self improvement.Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we tend tp come up with the idea of I wish I was somebody else.More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.You may have observed women at work, church, in department stores etc. You think to yourself, she looks so perfectly calm and confident.But if you could read thru her mind, you would see a bunch of clouds of thoughts and you might just be amazed that she's thinking are people looking at what I have on?... Why don't guys find me attractive? Or I don't like my nose, I wish it were like.... I wish I was as intelligent as my sister.The bible also speaks of loving others as you love yourself.How many people have found this hard to do only because they don't truly love themselves. The thing to remember is that you cannot give what you don't have.Allow people to see that you yourself are a representation and a product of self improvement before telling other people some ways on how to improve themselves.In my eBook The Dynamic Power of Focus I have a section that refers to "If only" and it is an important segment because all too often women spend their time focusing on the "If onlies" or excuses for why they can't accomplish given tasks and goals. Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings.Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement. Stop comparing yourselves to others. Only compare yourself to yourself. How can you improve your life, relationships, health, personal image. etc.Everyone has challenges and insecurities. You are a unique, one of a kind woman. There is an audience waiting to hear the message that only you can deliver to them.Don't cheat them and certainly don't cheat yourself by continuing down the road of self defeat. I am not speaking of being arrogant or running around showing everyonehow great your are in a vain manner.For maximized empowerment and a life of substance you must invest in avenues to improve yourself.Self improvement is the virtue of acceptance and contentment. If you want to finally be free to have a life full of joy, peace and contentment, start and continue a habit of self improvement. Enrollin courses, search the internet, participate in Teleseminars. You should also align yourself with a mentor,trainer and/or coach for an added accountability measure.If you haven't made the progress that you desire to after 2 years, 5 years and more, you must do what successful people do.....seek out the support and resources to allow them to have leverage and accelerate their personal/spiritual/business growth.Now I invite you to take advantage of this FREE resource . One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Do something positively different today!Do you feel like like is passing you by? Are you somewhat fearful that things will never change leaving your family as a victim of your lack of success. All it takes is one empowering action. Claim your FREE resource now.Click HERE

Twenty-something branches out on her own with The Lioness GroupSPRINGFIELD, MASS. June 17, 2009 – With less employment options to turn to, many college graduates and early to mid-level professionals are investing in their greatest asset – themselves.“I like to think that I am a reflection of young, Black twenty-somethings looking to go into business for themselves. I want The Lioness Group to be a mirror image of our local business community and representing a diverse clientele will allow me to do that,” Natasha Clark, recent founder of The Lioness Group said.“I've always been asked if I do freelance work on the side. I never had the courage to actually step out and establish myself as a separate entity. But like so many other twenty-somethings facing this economic crisis, I realized that my future and talents are best left to be managed by me. The Lioness Group will allow me to do that on my own terms,” Clark said.The Lioness Group aims to serve entrepreneurs and small business owners looking to get their passion out to the masses, but it has an immediate goal of serving the minority business population. The last thing a small business owner wants to do is a face phenomenal fee after they've just invested so much into getting their dream up and running. The Lioness Group offers affordable, quality writing, editing and media services to entrepreneurs, artists, authors and small business owners including Web site content, marketing strategies, public relations and more.As a journalist, Clark has spent the last several years working with members of the local business community and getting an understanding of what they need. She has the dual advantage of standing in both the shoes of the entrepreneur and those of the media. She said it is terrifying being on the opposite end.“I think as a reporter, we tend to get in and out and we’re on to the next thing. As an entrepreneur the stress, the workload, it’s all waiting for you in the morning,” Clark explained. “I never considered starting my own company. I love to write and I’ve always been pleased to do it for someone else. But with layoffs, cuts and rising costs, I had to reevaluate my career path.”About The Lioness GroupThe Lioness Group was founded in 2009 after local business owners expressed a need for quality, low-cost writing and media services.

Women are searching for relief from overwhelm, fear and reliable resources to assist in the realization of empowerment “Spirit, soul and body.” Robin Tramble aka The Empowerment Diva Provides Mentoring, Coaching, Expert Education,and Advice Through networks, her websites and Free Tele-seminar Series.Elk Grove, CA June 3, 2009 – Women are becoming overwhelmed as a result of the economic downturn. Some are becoming sole earners in their homes as husbands are in transition from either being laid off or other reasons that have led to their current unemployment. Although it has been stated that we may see relief from the recession this year, women are still needing and wanting programs and systems that will assist them in their endeavor to live their best empowered life, allowing them to thrive in the midst of any financial crisis, according to Robin Tramble, founder/owner of Robin Tramble International.“I've heard it from women across the world, in my neighborhood, online and offline.... a sound of fear, confusion, discouragement and possible defeat.

As a Black Woman Entrepreneur, Marketing Consultant & Coach, who works with women of color who are struggling to establish their presence in the business world both online and offline & struggling to attract more customers in order to build successful business both online and offline. I would like to share ideas on what other African American Women Entrepreneurs (any woman) can begin to do now to accomplish her goals in 9 simple steps!It is widely known, to the detriment of many capable african american and black women owned business that there exists a concrete ceiling that is difficult to shatter. That coupled with the glass ceiling effect that many women in general have encountered, throw in race and gender, a Black business woman might as well have a quadruple by-pass surgery and call it a day.Barriers facing African-American women in business include and are not limited to negative, race-based stereotypes, more frequent questioning of their credibility and authority; and a lack of institutional support. Experiencing a "double outsider" status -African-American business women report exclusion from informal networks, and conflicted relationships with white women, among the challenges they face. These results beg the question is there any use in trying to break through the ceilings?
Well if recent events, that being the election of the first American-American president and the First black lady are not enough to persuade you that “yes you can” then perhaps there is no reason for you to venture. The real issue is a lack of focus and strategy.
To help you rise up to the occasion and claim your birth right and focus on living a more fulfilled life, career, and business goals, I have created a simple system, which I call “9 Pillars To A More Fulfilled You.” Here are the 10 key tips:1. Honey, Child You Gotts To Let It Go: I have always loved that song by Toni Braxton, herself Black woman and astute woman entrepreneur herself, Let It Flow. You cannot possibly begin to receive the good that before you if you are still hanging on to the pains and fears of yesterday. The day has finally come for the fulifilment of this prophecy “I have a dream that one day our children will not be judged by the color or their skin but by the content of their character! Pastor, Dr. Martin Luther King. I recommend that you make thesong let it flow your anthem!2. Find a mentor/coach: Numerous studies, both private and government funded have been conducted to understand the barriers facing women and minority owned businesses The most common recommendation that has been made in favor of the up ward mobility of African-American women is the need, the inclusion and the establishment of mentoring programs and mentorship. The game is often won before you get onto the field, If you are going to play the game you had better find on your side a really savvy business coach and consultant3. Become A Visionary: Now we all know black folk go to church, I also know that you will be very familiar with this phrase, Where there is no vision, the people perish. In other words what are you looking to get done at the end of the day? Quit your job? Retire your husband? Spend more time with your children? Paint? Learn to cook? Long walks on the beach? What do you value the most? What is it that you most desire?4. Create a 90-day plan: With recent vision boards craze, I encounter many heart-broken people who wonder why they have been able to materialize their dreams of MacMansions, bling and whips! It is very simple A goal not written is merely a wish. A goal without a plan is a ticking time bomb. It spells nothing but failure. Make a list of the life areas you want to work on such as: spiritual, physical, financial, career, relationships, etc. Next, write out your goals for each area. Then, put your goals into a 90-day plan. Planning in 90-day cycles will help you accomplish twice as much in half the time.5. Make it Your Business to Be in the Know- Read a book: Another major obstacle to the advancement of the black woman owned business is Limited Access to Critical Information and Business Networks, when you don’t have the right information, it is difficult to compete. You are as successful as the last book you read. It is very important you become very selective about the material you allow yourself to absorb. Just like it is true that you are what you eat, As a [woman] thinketh, so is [s]he. My people perish for lack of knowledge. As the risk of beating a dead horse, knowledge is power!6. Get A Website: Bill Gates, you know the owner of Micro-Soft and 3rd richest man in the world? He says “there are two types of businesses, those with websites and those that are out of business! Studies show that about 75% of people go online to find out more about you and your product. The preferred site to do this is Google. Of these 50% of these people will purchase a product from you online, but only if you have online presence!7. Track your results: Those that loose weight and keep it off the longest are those that keep a record of their activities. You see it is very difficult to know where you are headed if you haven’t a clue where you came from. It is also easy to beat yourself up when you don’t have proof of how far you have come or how well you are doing. Journals are highly recommended, track progress, document every little success. You see success is nothing but a series of compounding events with a big pay off, Compound interest anyone?8. Pace yourself: Success is not a destination but a journey. Multi-tasking is so 2008! Stop and smell the roses and remember it is not a race to the finish line9. Take time for you: You know Bono of U2 sang it best when he crooned
And you give yourself away And you give yourself awayAnd you giveAnd you giveAnd you give yourself away
Women we are the worst at this be they stay at home moms, professional business women and/or small business owners. At the end of the day we have given it all with nothing left for yourself. Is it a wonder you have no energy left to make the changes that will bring you happiness? Even Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammed took a time out. What is it that the Bible say? 6 days He created the earth on the seventh day He rested? Half an hour a day to yourself for 15 minutes deep breathing is a must and 15 just to enjoy the silence.10. Reward yourself: On a weekly basis, review the progress that you are making on your goals. With every accomplishment take time to recognize your achievement and pop in Kool & The Gang
Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate) Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)There's a party goin' on right hereA celebration to last throughout the years.
You must get into the habit of seeing the good you have to offer. Women of color are just not very aware of what they capable of today. Bring out the inner Harriet Tubman in you, The Rosa parks and The "Madam C.J." Walker. You have a rich history and heritage. Those women fought long and hard for such a time as this and you get to live do them justice, do yourself justice. Get it together and bring it back to me!To Your Success,Party Plan PatMarketing Consultant, Speaker & Coach

Sheila RobinsonFounder and Publisher of Diversity Woman magazineBy Michael BreedloveJanuary, 2009Photo By Alex ManessTell us a little about your company.Diversity Woman is national magazine aimed at supporting the professional development of women from all races, cultures, and backgrounds. We touch on age, discrimination, disabilities — issues that are important but not readily discussed.How did you get your start in the Nussbaum Center?I heard about the Nussbaum Center through word of mouth. I originally heard they were very strict and it was difficult to get in, which turned out to be false. As long as you demonstrate you’re a serious entrepreneur, they’ll work with you.How has the Nussbaum Center helped your business grow?They make you stay organized and on top of your business, which has really helped me. Starting out, you have to have a business plan, a marketing plan, referrals — lots of stuff. They want to make sure you have potential to grow and a personality that will allow you to succeed. Since then, they’ve helped connect me to a lot of opportunities. They send out e-mail blasts and keep us abreast of everything that’s going on in the small-business industry. In a way, they’re kind of like our own little news bureau. I truly believe that I would not be in business now if I wasn’t here.Diversity Woman Magazine
