It’s time to GO BIG in business, family, and faith. When it is all said and done, it’s your purpose after all! Building a business is more than just products, marketing plans and spreadsheets.

Listed below is an overview: The Business Plan What are the what, when’s, how’s, and whys of your business? Having this plan detail

You probably have an image firmly planted in your mind of what network marketing (also known as direct sales or multilevel marketing) is all about–housewives buying and selling Tupperware while gossiping and eating finger sandwiches, or a high-pressure salesperson trying to convince you how easily you can become a millionaire if only you and your friends and their friends and so on would buy and sell vitamins with him. Both of these images couldn’t be further from the reality

6 TIPS TO BUILDING A BUSINESS WHILE WORKING A 9 TO 5 I have always been extremely adamant about showing others that we only have one life, and we must live it to the fullest. This includes building our dream businesses. We are programmed to work a job to pay the bills; even if we are unhappy with that job, we still stay. And when that happens our dream of building a business fueled by our passion takes a back seat to the perpetual work commutes, check to check paydays and not

TOP 40 AWARDS So last week I announced that I was nominated be recognized as one of Houston’s Top 40 to watch. Wow, what an amazing opportunity. I made my way down to downtown Houston on Saturday evening with the team to check it out, and all I could think about the entire way there was how much of a dream come true this was. Since I launched my first business a few years ago, it’s been a goal of mine to get products and services out across the world. As a woman of faith to b

CREATE SOMETHING ALREADY! I grew up in a family that put a priority on working hard and doing your best at everything you set out to do. My parents encouraged us to pursue our interests (including running track, 4-H, and trying every new church song we heard), but that kind of creativity came after all the “real work” was done. When I started my business, it was hard for my family of logical-thinking-military-type individuals to believe it. They have tried to understand, but

LOVE AND HAPPINESS In any aspect of life, it is very resourceful to know your worth. It is even more helpful when you show gratitude for that worth! However you worship, meditate or celebrate; do you ever praise your worth? Do you praise your worth in the good and bad times? I’ve always loved to write, but I didn’t love myself as a writer when I had writer’s block! (It’s not real… it’s a trick of the enemy.) I would be my worst critic. That is until I took it upon myself to a

PRIORITIZE YOUR LIFE It’s time to get your life and business together. I’m talking about real change that can increase your pockets!

WORDS HAVE POWER! OMG, have you ever TALKED yourself out of a huge opportunity or blessing? This can be challenging and downright devastating when it happens. Go on a word diet! Instead of watching your calorie intake, monitor your negative comments. Successful people speak great things into their lives, because they expect only the best for themselves. They focus on positive thoughts rather than filling their minds and their mouths with negativity. They understand the power

Many of us have been compelled to think that success is represented by the fancy cars, big house, designer clothes or shoes, but those things are actually the benefits of being successful. You see, success isn’t glamorous it’s quite ugly. Truth be told, it’s actually pain turned to power, doubt turned to belief, trouble turned to triumph. Real success is being able to go through obstacles no matter how hard things may get, knowing you will win in the end. Success is being abl

PRAYER PRINCIPLES… BELIEVE IT ALREADY Now is the time to start believing what you have prayed for! Yes, you have a right to believe and receive. I can remember times when my breakthroughs seemed to be delayed because my faith level was too low. My goodness, I am so happy those days are over. It’s time to advance to your next level of business, success, and supernatural faith. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done, you have a right to believe. John 3:16 says, “Fo

BOLD PRAYER CAN CHANGE THE GAME Yes! This is what I tell myself every morning when I set my mental pace. When you take the first step in the morning, you should expect the CHANGE to happen! Come Boldly…Through Jesus… if you want to change your atmosphere. When you pray, you don’t have to get God’s attention. You already have it. According to Hebrews 7:25, Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in hi

PRAYER PRINCIPLES 101 Over the years I have learned some truths about prayer. I don’t know all there is to know about it, but I have learned key principles from the Word of God that have helped me walk in victory. These principles will work the same for you. Before I go further, understand that I’m not saying you will never have any problems or challenges. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
