Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

Posted by Zanira Al-Amin on July 6, 2008 at 8:17am

Zanira’s Quote of the Day…….Everyone Can’t Be in Your Front RowEveryone Can't Be in Your Front RowLife is a theater - invite your audience quietly and carefully. Not everyone isdeserving of, or healthy enough to have, a front row seat in our lives.There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimizeyour time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhererelationships / friendships / fellowships!Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift andwhich ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Yes, bewatchful for "people" who can always encourage themselves whilediscouraging you. Be watchful for those who are full of self praise whilenever finding praise on their lips towards others. Which ones are on a pathof growth uphill and which ones are stagnant or going downhill?When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which onesalways have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you andthe gift that lies within you?The more you seek God and the things of God -- the more you seek quality, the more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God -- the more you seek things honorable the more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.You cannot change the people around you... but you can change YOU! Continue to seek the wisdom and discernment of God and choose wisely the people who you allow to sit in the front row of your life.Be Blessed & Always Stay EncouragedGod sees and knows everything; believe me when I sayHe is working out for youZanira Says SMILE

A Woman with an Issue; Do you have one also?

Posted by Alison Warfield on July 6, 2008 at 2:07am

I have read this Bible story many times. The woman with the issue of blood was recorded in three of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke). I don't pretend to be a theologian, just a simple woman with a complex life and love for the Lord. After reading it this week, I realized this story held a promise for my business related issues. Please allow me to retell her story.This woman was like other women. She grew up learning all the lessons a woman learns; how to be a daughter, wive and mother. She spent her time devoted to her family and focusing on all their needs. She visited the temple regularly offering prayers to God to take of her children, to order her husband's footsteps in the the Word, to heal her aging parents. When her family's finances were short she prayed that God would make ends meet. She give her tithes and offerings and fasted according to Hebrew laws. Her efforts were successful. They must have been, we learned that she was able to pay for medical services.Then came the day when her life changed; she had a need and yes a want. She began to hemmorrhage and she wanted to be healed. She spent her all money on physican who couldn't help her. After, years of helping and caring for other-praying, giving and fasting for them; no one could help her with her issue. Her experience left her broken, with low self-esteem and a cynic. And yet she decided to try one more time. It is extremely interesting to see that she approached this issue differently than she had approched other issues in her life. She approached most issues head on but this issue she approached from behind. She approached Jesus from behind, bearly touching the edge of His garment and hoped that no one would notice. But Jesus did! The Bible tells us she was instantly physically healed but not completely healed by the touch.Like the woman with the issue of blood, we are often careful to give to God our families issues. We pray for restoration of our marriages, to go to another spiritual level, protection of our children or hel on our jobs (to name just a few things). But have we given God our business issues? Have you invested in computers, marketing and advertising in hopes of being a success but you feel that owning a business may have been a mistake. Don't give up.. it's not too late.Remember, the woman with the issue of blood, saw Jesus as her last hope. She approached Him from behind, bearly touched Him and tapped into His full power. It is not enough to just acknowledge Him, she could have done that by waving at Him from afar. She got close enough to touch Him. Her healing was not complete until after she worshipped Him (fell down at His feet), and told Christ the truth that she touched Him and why. In response, Christ gave her an identity (He called her daughter), assured her that her body was healed (by her faith and not His clothes), sent her away free all anxiety (He told her to go in peace) and healed her soul. He'll do the same for our businesses. If your business has isssues, reach out and touch Jesus.

Starting A Business That You Are Passionate About

Posted by Audrey Bell-Kearney on July 5, 2008 at 7:50pm

I've been a full-time business owner now for almost ten years. One things that I found over the past nine and half years is that if you are not doing a business that you love, you will not be successful at it. Let me repeat that. If you are not doing a business that you love you will not be successful at it. When people come to me about starting their own business I always ask them what kind of business will they be starting and why did that choose that business. 95% of the time they tell me that they need to make some money and that they feel that this business would help them make that money that they need. Money should not be your main reason for starting a business. The reason I decided to start my business is because I wanted to be free to move around. Does that statement sound familiar? Well it should because it is from a commercial that I've heard or seen, but I don't remember which one. Anyway I started my business because I needed that freedom and I am glad that the money came with it. But let me just say this it didn't happen all at once. It took a long time for me to stop chasing the money and figure out what I really wanted to do. The funny thing here is that I was doing what I loved to do all along and did not even know it or I did not recognize it as a business.I love being an entrepreneur and I love talking about business and marketing and all that stuff. Once I realized that I could turn this into a business, I had to then figure out how to do it. So I decided to host a radio show which I loved, but the producer would not let me expand the way that I know I could have, so I resigned. Then I went on to host a television show spotlighting women in business and this was good, but I wasn't making any money. I also published a magazine spotlighting women in business, but this is a very expensive venture. I loved all of these things, but I had to figure out a way to do them all with a clear goal in mind which became to get noticed and perfect my craft instead of making money being my main goal and that's when things started to turn around.The Internet has made all of these things possible and really inexpensive to produce. Now I can be an Internet TV show host a radio show host and a publisher and still reach my goals of perfecting my craft and getting noticed.So if you are thinking about starting business make sure that you have a crystal clear goal in mind pick a business that you are passionate about, create an action plan and take action.Until Next TimeMuch SuccessAudreyAudrey Bell-Kearney is the author of The Sister Inc Blueprint For Starting And Running A Successful Business.

Posted by Rickey on July 5, 2008 at 6:27pm

Hello Community,On this holiday weekend, I extend a hearty hello and I am in agreement with you to have a fun, safe, and memorable weekend.The event for this day is especially important with the USA involved in a war and other countries warring with themselve.Freedom, a word that is taken too lightly by some.Freedom equals choice. Choice equal options.Without Options there is no Choice.WE are so blessed to have options that we can choose.I encourage everyone to treasure this freedom, make maximum use of it.Give pause for a moment and give thought to those who do not have choice.Give pause for a moment for those you know are in situations, even if temporary, that do not have choice.In that pause, please give thanks to the Creator, for FREEDOM.May your day be most productive. May you share your freeedom with others.I am at your service,Networkingly yours,Rickey

Small Business Tip: Education-Based Marketing, How to Make Business Come To You

Posted by Ktasha on July 5, 2008 at 3:00pm

There is a misconception in small businesses that your marketing's most important function is to promote your products and services. In fact, the most important function of your marketing should be to establish that you are knowledgeable and can be trusted.Most of us don't do business with people we don't trust. Even if you have the lowest prices, if your prospect doesn't trust you, it will be difficult to close the sale. This is the basis for Education-Based Marketing.Education-Based Marketing is a powerful marketing strategy that establishes trust and credibility using educational messages. It is the direct opposite of traditional marketing, which uses selling-based messages.People are tired of hearing worn-out, old sales pitches. Barriers shoot up the moment you begin delivering a sales pitch. In contrast, people sit up and listen when you share important facts and expert information that helps them make a good buying decision.Determining Your Educational MessageImagine stepping into the mind of your prospect and listening to their mental conversation at the very moment they decide to begin shopping for a spa or pool. What questions are they asking themselves? The secret to attracting qualified prospects early in the sales cycle is to find out the answers to those questions and use them as the basis for y our educational marketing message.For instance, if you were to offer your prospect the choice between two free special reports, one titled "Why brand A is the best widget on the market" and the other titled "Six Little-Known Secrets to Purchasing the Right Widget for Your Family", which do you think would be chosen?To continue reading this article, click here and look under Small Business Resources.Be blessed and feel free to send your questions to khardge@gmail.com.--Ktasha N.

Label Design Primer: 13 Tips to Help Your Product Get Noticed on Store Shelves

Posted by Afiya on July 5, 2008 at 2:24pm

Label Design Primer: 13 Tips to Help Your Product Get Noticed on Store ShelvesSUMMARY: Competition among products on the store shelves is fierce. An attractive, attention-getting label can make the difference between enticing customers and losing them to a nearby competitor.Here’s a primer on making your product beat industry leaders. Includes tips on using a graphic designer and launching a redesign.Please Note:This article is available only until July 8thClick here to activate your MarketingSherpa Membership FREE Trial.Your product’s label is one of your last marketing opportunities. If it’s ineffective, that opportunity is wasted.“Your homepage is your marketing piece online, and your label is your marketing piece out in the world,” says Peter Renton, Founder, Lightning Labels, one of the oldest and largest digital label printers. “You’ve got about a half a second if people are just walking through the shelves. They need to be able to glance at it and see what the product is in a half second. What is it? And what flavor is it? What kind of product is it?”Renton sees scores of labels –not all of them effective. Here is his take on what makes a good label, a bad label and how to come up with an effective design. He includes tips on how to get your product noticed and change your label.Creating a Label: 6 Steps-> Step #1. Communicate with colorColors can communicate faster than words. They are important in grabbing consumers during that half-second window of opportunity.- Be consistentYour brand should have its own colors. They should be used in every customer communication. Your website, catalog, flyers, coupons and your product label should use the same colors. This way, customers will know exactly who made the product without having to read a word.- Match colors and flavorsYou can use color to convey a flavor or a scent. For example, yellow makes people think of bananas and red – of strawberries. This helps a regular customer find the flavor they want quickly and a new customer check out your varieties at a glance.-> Step #2. Complement text with imagesRenton suggests using images. Like colors, they can communicate faster than words. Also, images can be more interesting and eye-catching than text. But be sure to balance images with text. Too much of either will create confusion.-> Step #3. Be choosy with fontsColors and images cannot communicate everything; words are essential. Make sure you select a typeface that contributes aesthetically to your brand.- Don’t use too many fontsLabels should have no more than two fonts; preferably, you stick to one. “Two is OK if you have your company logo in a particular font. If you use four fonts on a label, that’s bad,” Renton says.- Match font to brandRun through a list of fonts and select a handful that is right for your brand. Then gradually narrow them down to the final selection.- Pick font size that doesn’t make readers squintChoose a legible font size. If you’re using a smaller font to squeeze many words onto a label, you’re probably using too much text. Make some cuts.-> Step #4. Go with a label that’s true to your product’s sizeLabel size is one of the easier variables to account for. A label that is too small will go unnoticed. A label that is too large might wrinkle or fold over the sides of the package – think lousy. Size your label so it fits your product.-> Step #5. Provide contact information- Address and phone numberPutting the mailing address and phone number of your business on the label welcomes customer feedback. The information uses very little space. The feedback can guide product and marketing decisions.- WebsiteYour Web URL should be on the label. Again, it takes up very little room and it can drive customers to your online marketing.Failing to provide this information could be a frustrating experience for consumers. Renton cites an example of a yogurt company that is guilty of this negligence: “I have [this yogurt] every single day of my life. They don’t know I exist. I’d give them my home address because I’m such a big fan, but there’s no outlet for me to do that because it’s not on their packaging.”-> Step #6. Don’t forget about mandatory informationBy law, nutrition information and Surgeon General’s warnings must be printed on some product labels. Stick the required information on the back label. Your front label should sell and describe your product. The obligatory information should face the back of a shelf.4 Strategies to Stand OutYour label has to stand out or the consumer will never pick up your product. Here are some ideas on how to create a unique label:-> Strategy #1. Tell a storyPeople love stories. Tell a one- or two-sentence story about how your company was founded or how a product came to fruition; make it interesting. It will connect your buyer to the people and the history of your product.“Clif Bar happens to be an example. There’s a paragraph on every Clif Bar that tells you a little about the company and how it is named after this guy. He was a mountain biker and he wanted to create a nutritious snack. And it doesn’t take much space on a label,” Renton says.-> Strategy #2. Use different imagesDigital printing opens up novel labeling opportunities. You can print dozens of different labels much cheaper than before the advent of digital labels because of lower fixed costs. But you may want to print a large quantity of a few labels. Traditional label printing may be a cheaper way to go.You can use multiple labels with different images for the same product. The trick is to keep other elements – like colors, borders and fonts – the same. Customers must be able to identify your product even if it comes with four different images.Example: Jones Soda uses photographs submitted by its customers for labels. “There’s 100 different photographs on these labels. It becomes part of the brand,” Renton says.- Stock photographyStock photography is another inexpensive way to add images to your labels. Places like iStockphoto and Photos.com sell royalty-free images for a low as $1.-> Strategy #3. Add quotations and factsAdd witticisms or interesting facts to your labels. You can find this type of content under juice caps, on tea bags and inside candy-bar wrappers.-> Strategy #4. Get inspiredIf you’re having trouble designing your labels, check out:- Your direct competitorsLook at the competition when you design your first label. But strive to be different. Note what types of fonts and colors they are using. They may translate to customer preferences, Renton says.- Your indirect competitors“Look at your competitors, but then go look at a different product category completely. So, if you’re selling lotion, go look at wine or go look at hot sauce. … Get some ideas by looking at totally different industries, then you can adapt ideas to your own products,” Renton says.Partial Rebranding: 3 StepsDeciding to change a label is never easy. It could dilute your brand or make your product harder to indentify, especially among loyal customers. Make sure you have a legitimate reason to change your label and are not doing it just because you’re tired of it.-> Step #1. Hire a designerUse a professional designer to launch a new label. Graphic design is an art with many professional elements that take years to master. A novice will probably not be able to achieve an effective design concept.For a product with a completely new idea, expect to spend $1,000 for 10 to 15 hours of a designer’s time, Renton says. You could spend much more – $100,000 for someone to do 100 different versions for you to choose from.“Now, the more money you spend, up to a certain point, the better your results are going to be. But I know people who have spent $5000 to get a business card design. That’s sort of ridiculous.”-> Step #2. Retain some elementsTo avoid confusing customers, preserve some elements of your label. These can include your logo, primary colors, layout, package shape or any identifying feature.-> Step #3. Test the marketTest the performance of a label before adopting it. Renton suggests testing in a small local market and expanding based on the results. Changing your labels across all stores could be a disaster.

What's New with Solutions Now! Radio?

Posted by Solutions Now! Radio on July 5, 2008 at 5:23am

Well, to answer that question I'll have to take you back a few weeks. In the middle of June, I was to take a working vacation to Orlando, Florida. My plans were solid - work 4 hours and spend the rest of the day in the sun! Well, the best laid plans, huh?My computer died just two days before the plane was to take off. Running around to get it fixed and packing took a toll on me and I decided that I needed a real vacation after all so I left the broken computer at home.I'm glad I did!It gave me some time to recharge my batteries. Well, I never thought one iota about the business or its direction, but I did get some well needed R&R. I even got to reconnect with a high school friend.So, where is the business? We are strong and planning to get back to broadcasting July12th with all new programming. We got a bevvy of topics and looking forward to audience participation so join us on Saturday morning or listen to our archives whenever it is convenient for you.Sincerely,Candice L.

Beautiful Community,Whenever I meet new faces, re-acquaint myself with old smiles or walk on the platform, or stage in front of participants to embrace “The Moment, The Movement, and The Motivation” during a presentation … I always mentally review the following:“I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in my life. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make another’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt, or heal. In all situations, it is MY response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a person humanized or de-humanized.”By Dr. Haim GinottThe Divine is Absolutely Crazy About YOU!Success!~Ivana “The Moment, The Movement, The Motivation”Aspirations Development Consultingwww.myaspirationsdcs.comv_Ivana@myaspirationsdcs.com

A Few Things

Posted by Kim on July 4, 2008 at 10:48pm

I'm kind of nervous since this is my first post here, but here goes.I love this site so much. The information, services and potential contacts provided here by Ms. Henry are things that would've taken literally weeks for me to find. But now, I just click over to this site/group and everything is right there and easy to find!I also want to talk about a company that I've done some freelance graphic design work for. The company, Infinite Xpression Publishing, is owned by a good friend. So I've decided to spotlight it and one of its books here.Infinite Xpression Publishing is an independent, relatively new publishing company with one title published and several titles in the works. Infinite Xpression Publishing mainly focuses on Contemporary Fiction, Spiritual Fiction/Non-fiction and Young Adult Fiction. They are currently looking for more submissions, if anyone reading this is interested either go to the site and download the submission guidelines, fill out the contact form on the site or email directly: tonyashirelle@ixpublishing.comIts first book "Circumstances" is about a young college undergrad caught up in the game. Its book where you can feel sympathetic towards the protagonist, Khiala Williams, but still want smack some sense into her. Here's the complete synopsis:

Khiala Williams grew up as a middle class suburban Detroiter, not knowing any difficulties until she goes off to Michigan State University. She meets and soon falls in love with Brandon Davis. Just when she thinks life couldn’t be better, things take a dramatic turn. Khiala and Brandon are both faced with extenuating familial circumstances, which causes them to get caught up in illegal activities. Their decisions turn them from over achieving college students to convicted felons. Things go from bad to worse as they fight the suggested life sentences. Khiala continues to make decisions based on her circumstances and goes from one game to another trying to regain the life she knew before her downfall. Her determination and vigor help her battle the cards which continue to stack against her. She merely escapes death, but is determined to win the game.
