Changing Your Business Ideas Constantly

10744059292?profile=original

 

A lot of women may not want to admit that they haven't offically started their business. For most women the idea hasn't nearly made it off the ground. What do you do when your business ideas have just been lingering as dreams and fantasies?

 Most of the time the things that we are good at are the things that we do routinely and dont realize it. Starting a official business is hard and the success rates are low. The number of black women that have been interviewed gave the profession "Beautician" as the Business of Ownership. The other profession that was given was "Day Care Provider/Director", and last but certainly not least, "Beauty Consultant".

A  lot of these woman admitted that the family life is a major reason for womens confusion and confidence with starting businesses. Many of these women believe that for the most part they always knew what the wanted to do and having the money to do it wasn't always possible.

So the changing of the buisness idea has more to do with economics rather than losing commitment to the business idea. So if your business seems to be an idea more than an official business just reevaluate your routine because your business is hiding somewhere in there.

Your Integrity (watch out now)

Definition •Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. (http://www.answers.com/topic/integrity)What happens if you waver from this? What happens if you claim to be so excellent, but then you have your fingers crossed behind your back? What if in YOUR head you want to do what YOU want and your character/integrity wavers just a little...bit?Will you even care what that makes you look like? Or do you suffer from Narcissism:? 1.Excessive love or admiration of oneself.If the point of life is someone else's growth then you can't lose YOUR integrity and start acting like a narcissist. I mean REALLY! Pull yourself together first, then move forward in and with someone else's life.Now back on to your integrity. Are you caring about how this looks? If you ask someone for help, use them, and then praise someone else, how does that make you look? HMMM, here's another scenario. If you ask someone for their advice or assistance, tell them they did a great job, yet you take the credit for it...hmmm...okayAs a life coach, and CEO how I look is important to me. It's important that I run, sweat, and pass out while I push you forward, but its important for you to reciprocate.So, consider what you look like right now to everyone in your social and professional circles. You might need to wipe the slate clean. Are you ready? Let me help you: HELLO, MY NAME IS ________________AND I HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF MY ETHICAL CODE AND HAVE BEEN REALLY SELFISH.

Black Enterprise Online recently published its Top 10 Tips for Young Enterpreneurs, by Tina Wells. 

 

These are vague and unspecific and frankly, contain very little that's new.

  • Have a business plan. 
  • Connect with your customers. 
  • Develop your network. 

Well, duh.

 

These aren't even particularly for young entrepreneurs, they are for all business owners. 

 

I hope and expect that the series will improve. 

 

I prefer specific advice and information for business owners.  Like this article on How to Improve Your Sales and Profit

He Raised Over $500,000

10744060259?profile=originalDo you want sponsorship funding for your business or your education? 

 

Derrick Hayes, author of Raising Money in a Recession, has raised over half a million dollars to help people with their university fees. I interviewed him in More Black Success Volume 8.

Derrick is just one of the people I interviewed in my new ebook Shaking the Money Tree, about raising sponsorship funding.


I asked business advisors how to get sponsorship, but they could not help me.  So I decided to research it myself. 

 

Check out my new ebook Shaking the Money Tree.

 

The experts I have interviewed give you practical advice and suggestions. 

 

For a limited time, it is available for just $8, a 75% discount from the regular price of $19.99.

Well, hello! If you're just joining us, you'll see I've been writing blogs for a few months now( the one in 2010 was, "99 days to Win in 2010" ) and it's been a blast. It may come as a surprise to some, or confusion to others, but believe it! This is a part of the many hats that I wear. I LOVE helping others with business matters. My goal is to educate as many people as I can on all business details. Whether you own a Subway or a Network Marketing Coin Business, I can help! So click FOLLOW to the right and follow my blog for 2011, "Get Your Blessin' in 2011: Business Ideas & Advice" (www.businessadvice2011.blogspot.com).

 

So today's topic was touched on last year but I'm going there again. For a few weeks we will be focusing on building a proper and working business plan, website and/or blog, and marketing strategies. So let's start with the website(my book on building a business plan is coming out in February! Keep your eyes and ears open for it!). Anyhow, I was thinking about all the action I get from my site, and wanted to talk to you about how to build a successful website, for....(wait for it...) FREE! There are several resources for this and if you know anymore, follow my blog and comment below with your suggestions. But lets start with wix.com. I'm not too familiar with this site, but it allows a lot of video and flash player options. Tis really cool for a unique website, trying to reach a more chic crowd.

 

Another resource that I like is...Weebly.com! I found Weebly to be very easy to use. You don't even need a domain name they can give one to you and you're set. I have a hard time sitting for a long time trying to figure things out and with Weebly I didn't have any formulas to decode or vast instructions to read. Weebly has numerous templates you can use that will fit any business you are marketing. You can also monetize your site (that means MAKE MONEY!). Weebly has Google Adsense AND an affiliate program you can all use for....(here it is again)FREE!

 

For a very minimal monthly fee you can receive the following features: audio player, password protection, up to 10 websites, more MB space and MORE! I don't need those features CURRENTLY, but I look forward to upgrading my membership.

 

I highly suggest Weebly.com as a tool to create your website! It's fun, it's simple and it's....(drum roll please) FREE! Check it out! Talk to you soon!

Tamara

P.S. If you are not sure of what type of business you want to market or build a website for, check out my website or email me at tgarrison11@gmail.com. I can help you find a business you would be interested in starting (trust me, I have my ways)! If you have any questions about a domain name, or any of these resources, email me at tgarrison11@gmail.com. I'll be happy to answer your questions.

I Fired My Boss...

When I walked out those doors I said I wasn't going back and I meant it. I didn't know how it was going to happen and apart of me feared facing the reality of what would happen if it didn't but THANK YOU GOD for hearing my prayers... and I mean I PRAYED! I still can't believe it's real!

I just couldn't do it anymore. If I said that part of me wasn't thinking "What the heck are you doing girl?" I'd be lying. But that fact of the matter is I just walked away from a Fortune 50 company not a Fortune 50 paycheck and the sad part is I realized that it was never going to happen. I earned my Bachelor's degree while pregnant with the twins and then spent my Master's program pregnant and dealing with the new baby. In between degrees (and in a period of 1 1/2 years) I applied for eight promotions and received eight denials, some without any explanation. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was applying for a position within my own department, having my supervisors tell me I wasn't qualified, hiring a mail and file clerk giving her a minimum $20-$30k increase and then asking me to train her. HA!! If that isn't the biggest slap in the face, but I digress...

Needless to say I began to plan my exit strategy. I wish I had a great elaborate story for you that speaks of how I waltzed into my boss' office on a random day and dropped the bomb on them. How I stuck it to "the MAN" just when he thought he had me down but that's not what happened. The truth of it all is that I devised a plan. My exit strategy was well thought out and I had the great benefit of working and building my business with the security of having a job and being on maternity leave allowed me to be at home full time with nothing to do but learn while receiving a paycheck. Still, without gaining and applying knowledge I know that this would have never happen and that without deciding to take action I could have just as easily been returning to that dead-end job.

I know know you're thinking "Girl in this economy? People are dying for jobs and you're giving yours up?" YES!! I am! See when everything in the world is going right people get complacent. Dreams fade away because jobs are secure and many just coast along earning what they feel is a decent paycheck. But the last few years has shown many of that nothing is guaranteed. A new supervisor that doesn't like you, changes in policy, a failing/failed economy can put you on the wrong side of poverty faster than you can blink. Maybe you know someone this happened to... maybe it happened to you. Regardless, now is the time to take control of your own destiny... to fight the power so to speak. The greatest movements in history that produced real change came when people decided enough was enough and claimed freedom for themselves.

As I've said many times my reason for creating Maven On a Mission was not so much about internet/network marketing and signing people into my opportunities but more about giving moms who want to be home with their children the opportunity to do so. I've learned so much in the past 6 months to a year about being a real entrepreneur... an UNSTOPPABLE ENTREPRENEUR that I can't wait to share with you all. So much value has been poured into me knowingly and unknowingly that there is nothing for me to do but to pour it back out. I genuinely want to see you home with your children (or working from home period) if that's where you desire to be.

To those of you that have been following this blog, thank you for your continued support and to those just joining, welcome, welcome, welcome. Stay tuned... this is going to be a ROCKIN journey!

Wishing you growth and prosperity!

Resolution or Revolution?

As is custom at the beginning of a New Year the mind turns fondly to self-improvement endeavors and dreams as yet unmet. What might be different is the approach one takes in order to make those changes. Do you solemnly swear that THIS year, things are going to be really different? Or have you come to the conclusion that it is time for more, much more than a traditional exercise that is frequently abandoned by the wayside a mere few days or weeks later?

 

Then let us hereby start a revolution, and boldly state that My BAG, my Big Audacious Goals are… what? Fill in the blank. For me, and by that I mean Pink Passport Society of course, my BAG includes doubling our membership, bringing you weekly videos (I just did the trial run today and it was pretty darned fun). Of course what I decided was instead of the waist up – oh no, full length was never under consideration – I will shoot the videos from the chest or neck up. Yeah, much better angle.

 

Let me tell you of a few more wonders in the New Year:

    The aforementioned weekly Passport Living Video Blog, that includes questions from you, the members;

    Our newest partnership brings you an Annual Weeklong Retreat in Maui (sorry, for members only so join today!)

    Passport Inn (our first community program – transitional housing for homeless women vets) is going LIVE this year;

    National Alliance of Philanthropists for Women membership site will be up and running by the 2nd quarter (we want to make sure it is just plump and bursting at the seams with information and resources for the members);

    We are planning to take An Evening Prelude to Your Future on the road, with 4 stops this year, one each quarter. First we’re going to take over California and then head east, starting with Las Vegas. I mean, who doesn’t love a good party. Maybe we’ll be the ones to give a real boost to the Vegas economy if our numbers are large enough by then, eh?

 

Okay, that’s too much good stuff. Let’s talk about you now. If you’ll tune in to the weekly blog, you’ll be getting some real information about boosting your net worth. We’ll help you create your own Prosperity Plan, get you started in investing and otherwise diversifying your income, as well as give you real life accounts of (my) Passport Living so you can learn from my own (mis)adventures!

 

If you’re reading the blog, visit the website and sign-up: http://PinkPassport.org If you started the excerpt on the website, check out the blog and read the archives http://PinkPassportBlog.com . There’s great info in those golden pages. Shoot me an email @ GuidedJourney@PinkPassport.org and ask me a question I can answer on the video or tell me, what’s your BAG?

I know this question is probably a 100% Hell No! But what if your accuser showed signs that he had change his life by doing his time in prison, getting helped, being actived in church and society,Can you still forgive him?

    In my book "Sinful Traits" I dramatize on this issue and my character-Tanisha had to determined if she want to carry on this hatred in her heart or learned how to forgive as the bible tell us all to do. The question is can we truly forgive and forget and what crimes are forgiving.

    I know that raped is a horrible crime against women because one, I have been raped by someone I knew when I was in my teens and at that time, as with all women, it's a violation of a woman's body. It is very traumatic emotional and physical.

    Now I'm not going to tell you what happen to my situation or Tanisha (book is due out in Febuary),but I wanted to get a feel of what other women would do if they were in Tanisha's shoes. Could you or would you forgive your accuser?

 

due out Febuary at all book stores and on the web
