I am really excited to start rolling out my new ideas for the blog. First up: a blog carnival. What’s a blog carnival? According the Blogcarnival.com –

A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.

Blog carnivals are a great way build a community and help promote each other. I am determined to build my freelancing/side hustle community, plus bring you great content from across the web. Every week I will be put of a collection of blog post with helpful tips surrounding freelancing, side hustle, technology and business.

Proactive = be hands on, take the initiative, let's get down to business
Passionate = be zealous, avid & be on fire
Positive = be confident, encouraging & upbeat
Persistent = be determined, steadfast & constant .... NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Plan, and very time you achieve your goal, plan AGAIN!!  Just imagine the possibilities!!!

Now as I was typing the above, I came to the realization I'm probably doing 1 or 2 of the action items listed;  but all of them???  "Really, Sylvia???? ...then how can you preach to the choir?!?!" Okay.. ok .. you're right!!!  I can't; but I tell you one thing, I'm NOT giving up.  I've had my dark days... and sistah ... I can write a novel!! What I have right now, in this very timeline of my life is a made up mind that as I continue to ride the waves of life that are coming at me; I will take my stand for who and what God created me to be (healthy, prosperous, successful, resourceful ... the list goes on); and trust Him for where He's taking me.

I was reading in a book the other day where the author mentions he's at the beach with his young son.  He spent some time convincing his son that playing in the shallow part of the ocean wasn't fun as going out a little deeper in the ocean.  He was finally able to convince his little boy to start wading in the deeper water.  While standing behind his son; he convinced him he would be there and nothing would happen to him.  The little boy would hold his hands high above his head and the father would be there to hold his hands tightly if anything were to happen.   The big wave would come, and as it approached his little boy, the father would jerk him up by the hands...high enough that the water didn't even touch his chest, face or ears. (The little boy was fearful of water getting in his ears.)  This little one was so happy that the water never touched his face that he was convinced he was now a "wave jumper."  This is the place I'm in right now.  God DID NOT bring me this far for nothing.  He's been there holding me by my hands every step of the way; even though at times I lacked the faith to believe in what I was doing or in myself. 

OK...so now I can add the 6th "P"... "Powerful" = we are created in God's image/likeness & He is definitely POWERFUL!!!  As I'm encouraged by this story.... please be encouraged as well!!!  We'll soon be approaching another new year of GREAT possibilities.  The internet and technology is moving quickly and I've got to be "proactive" (hands-on).   I'm starting at ground zero; but I'm visioning an empire.  With a made up mind and determination in my heart to trust God and the talents He has given me; I can't lose!!!

The journey begins ...  Thanks LaShanda for being obedient to your calling!!

Blessings to all!!!

p.s.  ... 1st timer @ blogging ... whooo whoooo .... loving it!... so excuse any typos, etc. :)

For years I have been following and listing three things: African American Comics, Black Super Heroes, and multicultural books for African American Children. New to me and recently added to our featured Blacks Books rotation is the Fearless Five, a child super hero concept based on a team of young, black children spending their free time using their imaginations in creative play. The first product to come out of this concept is a five-book series, targeted for pre-K to 3rd grade children. The book series offers up world-class artwork and exciting storylines coupled with positive themes around teamwork, determination, self-esteem, caring for others and caring for the environment.

Each book has a dedicated topic such as: using imagination and self-esteem (episode 1), dealing with ‘strangers’ (episode 2), conserving natural resources such as water (episode 3), being energy conscious (episode 4) and handling bullying situations (episode 5). In each episode, the team must overcome the initial self-defeating views they have of their potential while battling an imagined team of villains, the Swarm, constantly challenging them. In the end, they come to discover their true potential, which sets them on a path to success. The ultimate goal of the Fearless Five concept is to support parents, teachers and loved-ones of pre-K to 3rd graders in raising up the next generation of confident, caring, and conscious global citizens.

My son just started preK this year, so purchased the Fearless Five for him and I am looking forward to getting the issues so we can read them together! The official website: www.fearlessfive.com.

I have a very special offer for Fast Action Taking Decisive Women.

Are you ready to be a Champion?

Dear Super Achiever,

    Soon we will be making resolutions for the New Year – how it will be better than this year.

As we assess our current situations – the actual results of the effectiveness of our plans and actions over the last year, many of us will be looking for new ways to make the New Year a lot better.

    For many of us, we must solve the riddle of survival

Mastering the Riddle of Survival

     As we progress along the success path, we become keenly aware of how much time and effort is devoted to generating sufficient income to meet the needs of ourselves and our family. This challenge of our financial survival is an important test of our knowledge, skill, determination, and self-discipline.

If we do not meet this challenge and master it, we put a severe limitation on our ability to achieve our goals and realize our purpose. In fact, as long as we are living paycheck to paycheck, or are dependent on someone or something for assistance, we will find it difficult to give the time and focus our attention with enough intensity to get desired results. So, it is crucial that we meet and overcome this financial challenge, and thereby solve the riddle of survival.

To solve the riddle of survival means that we have achieved a level of financial independence in which the fruits of our labors are sufficient that we can continue to live indefinitely at a level which is pleasing to us, without any further effort required.

According to Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, network marketing, or multi-level marketing will be a key source of wealth generation in the 21^st Century.

I know that many of us have tried various network marketing opportunities and failed miserably. Some of us have let these failures and disappointments make us give up on our dreams and spend our lives making due with what we can afford instead of going for what we really want.

But some of us, through trainings at the LifeSkill Institute, have mastered the secrets of network marketing, achieved outrageous financial success, and solved the riddle of survival. The secret is continuous personal development, right training, and a proven system for success.

As author of the Twelve Universal Laws of Success, a 30 year veteran of the network marketing industry, and experienced Life Style Coach, I have examined many business opportunities and finally found the Best One, at the Right Time, with the Best Product, and a Proven System for success.

                                                                                                                                                                                                 I am seeking 20 Super Achievers to become a member of The Champion’s Team, (already over 6,000 strong), who:

1. Will commit to Learn, Practice and Master the Seven Basic Skills of successful Network Marketing.
2. Desire to earn six-figures, $10,000/mo. in the next 12 to 24 months, and seven-figures, $100,000/mo. in the next 36 to 60 months.
3. Have a Big Dream and a great Work Ethic
4. Are teachable, coachable, and trainable
5. Are willing to invest in themselves

What you have to do:

1. Fill in your name, email, and phone number and Watch the ABC Prime Time video
2. Download your free “Wealth Building in Trying Times” MP3
3. Email to lifeskill@earthlink.net a brief statement of the benefits of the information presented in the video and why you should be considered for the Champion’s Team; including your goals, strengths, and teaching/training experience.

What you receive:

1. A free 200 page eBook version of The Twelve Universal Laws of Success PLUS:

Happy Thanksgiving! As we embark on this holiday season, we are also embarking on one of the best times of the year for business. Why? Glad you asked! Well, this is the time that shoppers are looking for great deals and in a "buying" mood. This is also the time where you'll see friends, acquaintances, family, and neighbors in different settings. Thus having the opportunity to share what you do and your products.

So, don't close your doors this season and assume people are too busy to buy from you.  This is a great time to challenge yourself. Set and accomplish some goals. Take advantage of the holiday season and go out of 2011 with a bang!

One way to accomplish some goals is to participate in Small Business Saturday on November 26, 2011. We've all heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and now you've got this! Small Business Saturday is dedicated to supporting small businesses. This year is the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express. Take advantage of this day and offer some great sales. You should also support small business yourself that day. Or, "pledge to shop small".  Go to an independently owned restaurant or boutique. Shop online from some of the BBWO merchants. Support businesses like yours and encourage others to do so as well. Visit http://smallbusinesssaturday.com/ for more information on Small Business Saturday.

I plan on trying Matt's Big Breakfast, which is local restaurant and I'm going to check out Nache Snow's, tallook.com.  What small businesses are you going to support??
