Dear Sisters,Please know that your son, brother, father, uncle, friend was given birth to and raised by an African American woman who was a single mother raising 3 children in Harlem, The Bronx and then Teaneck NJ. I learned a great deal from my mother, who passed on 2/11/08(RIP), in terms of sacrifice, love, perseverance, joy and pain. I have been happily married to my wife for almost 13 years and we have been together for 16. She is very dark skinned and was teased throughout school because of it. I was taught by a relative and mentor Chaka Zulu Rameses, a Garveyite from Harlem at an early age the beauty of the Black woman and he would show me pictures of the Egyptian/Khemitc Goddesses and Queens such as Nefartari, Nefartiti, Maat, Auset (Isis), Het Heru and learned of the Queen Nzingas, Harriet Tubman’s, Sojourner Truths and sisters right up until this very day such as Winnie Mandela, Susan Taylor and many of you who are independent and striving to be great successful entrepreneurs.So I dedicated my song and poem entitled "Ms. Melanin" to the Black Woman first to my wife and then I decided to expand my promotions so that it would reach as many sisters as possible and make them feel good and inspired.Yes, I am a poet and recording artist and would like to make money like most of us, but I would never force a poem or song just to make a profit. I have songs and poetry on various subjects.My music is from my heart and soul. I hope you enjoy it and help me spread the word!One Love!Your brother Kamal ImaniPeace, light, success and abundance.Read more…

All you need to be successful with CMU7 is a goal and the will to achieve it.There is a four letter word that I never like to use: work. What I do is not a job. Well at least it does not feel like work to me. I can’t believe I get paid to do what I do and I almost feel like a thief, getting away with stealing hours throughout the day to do whatever I wish.I use to work a whole lot more and it was always on someone else’s terms. But now, it’s on my terms. It had always been my dream to be my own boss. I loved the idea of making my own schedule and of having unlimited financial potential. I knew I was only able to go so far financially if I kept at it part time, and I wanted to take this to ridiculous levels. Even as a side career, CMU7 offers incredible financial success.That is why I joined CMU7, to quadruple my income, not just to replace my existing income. I have sponsored in some people and I want to help my people to make money. It’s not about me. It’s about getting the people I’ve sponsored to make money.Although I love the flexibility, time freedom, and financial success that CMU7 has to offer to all, I truly appreciate the opportunity to help others most of all. I like seeing people get the bigger picture and realize they don’t have to settle for nine-to-five, but that they can have more. To see someone realize just because they don’t have an education, or they don’t have a sales background, they can do this. This is anybody’s game. Anybody can be a top producer in this game, and that is an incentive and gift for me to see that anyone can be successful.However, success does not come without some hard work. If this were easy, everybody would do it. To me, it’s simple, but it is not easy. If the belief is truly within you that you’ll succeed, you will.I just want to caution anyone who expects to get rich overnight, that “Immediate gratification is a huge mirage. It doesn’t exist in my mind. You need to work for what you want, but you can do it. If you work consistently and persistently, you’re going to make money.”I firmly believe that anyone can succeed with the right mindset. I have a favorite quote to emphasize the importance of believing in yourself. “People may ask, How much money can I make?” and I’ll say, “Well, how big is your dream?”Blessings,Beryl PaytonInterested in learning more Click HereWant to know what else keeps me occupied Click HereRead more…

The 1440 Report issue 2by Rickey JohnsonYour FREE WILL LIFE CREDITS Account has been Increased!!!Hello and Great Day to Ya!!In the last report , a definition was established. That is Minutes are really FREE WILL Life credits and you are given 1440 Free Will Life Credits everyday for365 and 1/4 .. Days.You can not save them and they will automatically replenish each day.I have shared how quickly your life credits can be consumed by daily activites.Leaving about 300 Free Will Life Credits available to you , to do what you will.Well, let me expand on that a minute. Actually , the computation is based on a 5 day work week.The Great News is most folks get 1 or 2 days “off” to do whatever they will ( there is that word again). Regardless , if you are self-employed or a W2 worker, you get the time. W2 workers days are scheduled and Self-employed assigned.Now, that is fantastic news for that means you gain 1440 or 2880 FreeWill Life Credits. Now add that to your 300 Free Will Life Credits and you are now working with 1740 or3180 Free Will Life Credits.Now, here is the magic question - What will you do with your Free Will Life Credits?I already know, unfortunately, some will squander them. Lose never to return.The Greater and more exciting reality is many will take advantage of those Free Will Life Credits and apply them to helping better their life conditions.Those are folks this report is directed to. Those are the folks I want to fellowship with!!!Now, we have some real power of awareness for we are NOT talking about minutes, but Life. Precious FREE WILL Life!!!Manage your FREE WILL Life Credits with much regard to their value.My next report will address Control. Oh yes, this one word has caused more frustration, disappointment, confusion, and jublilation then any other you will encounter. Yes, How ones interpret that word and apply it , can effect you positively or very negatively. Amazing huh?Until our next communiqué, May Abundant Health and Great Wealth be your constant companions on the Road of Life.Networkingly yours,RickeyThe J.O.BYou will discover my reports will focus on awareness. Many of us are expending our FREE WILL Life Credit on others interpretation of Life. That we will address.Here is a statement, that often made about employed folks. That these folk have a “burden” call JOB which can be interpreted to mean “Just Over Broke”.I differ with this negative view of being employed, which I believe is good thing!!My interpretation of a JOB is “ Hallejulah!! I have JOY, for I am Overcoming Broke.”Everyday, I am blessed to make it to the JOB, that is what is my active consciousness shouts - JOY, JOY, JOY, I am overcoming Broke. I am so glad I have a JOB. My FREE WILL LIFE CREDITS are being used to my betterment and the betterment of others!!!!!!Actually, the job is tool to be used to help achieve overcoming broke. Simple huh?You may want to share this with next person who presents this tool called a JOB, as something you should try to eliminate from your life.visit- http://www.juniques.us

I love being a woman. I am a girly-girly and my three daughters are also. But I no longer have to wear make-up and be fabulous every day, in my early years of makeup and fashion, I would never be caught dead (or alive LOL) without makeup on and the latest brand name clothes on. I think back and I now realize that time period was actually be burdensome, feeling like I have to be all made up, all the time. Back then I felt like I wasn’t me, without all that. Thanks be to God for releasing me, now I look in the mirror and I’m not worried about what others may think, I have widen my view of the world and I now know that there is more to me than what’s on the outside. I have matured, Thank God. Not to say that I don’t wake up and say today is Glam day and make up and dress up. Date night I may put in little weave (being a cosmetologist) and the dramatic makeup (for a change from the more natural make up used for business trips). I love to discover new colors of eye shadow, blush, eye liners etc. Color is my thing but I personally don’t wear dramatic makeup, except on dates, or to beauty networking events.
