4 Ways Rest Helps Your Business

ORIGINAL POST 5/12/2020

Recently, our world was required to shelter in place. This was a very new experience for most of us and most of us will never see it again. However, the shelter in place caused us to pause our regular activities. We had to learn new ways to live and work. You can review more about this in last my blog – Collective Pause of 2020.

This week I want to take a look at one of the areas that pausing allows us to focus on…REST. REST is the first part of pausing.

Rest is a crucial factor in business success and it is often overlooked, especially by entrepreneurs. By allowing time to recharge both mentally and physically, rest becomes a powerful tool for business owners. 

Take a look at the video or read the summary below to learn 4 Ways REST Can Help Your Business

4 Key Benefits of Spirit-led Marketing

There are several benefits to being Spirit-led when it comes to your marketing.  In this blog post I will share 4 key benefits of Spirit-led Marketing.

Spirit-led marketing helps to create a holistic approach that drives business growth and aligns with your spiritual and ethical principles. Implementing the 4 key benefits I share can lead to more meaningful connections with customers, increased loyalty, and a sense of purpose in your marketing efforts.

1. ALIGNMENT

When you are being led by the Holy Spirit when it comes to marketing your business you are aligned with the will of God.  Being aligned with God allows you to experience ease and flow in your business.  It allows you to choose marketing strategies and tactics that align with the way that God designed you and designed your business. This allows you to shine and standout in the marketplace.  When you are in partnership with God things that may be hard are done with ease and grace.

Spirit-led alignment emphasizes aligning your business practices with your spiritual values and beliefs by:

  • Ensuring your marketing strategies reflect your core spiritual principles
  • Making decisions that are in harmony with your faith or spiritual guidance
  • Creating consistency between your personal beliefs and business operations

 

2. AWARENESS

One of the goals of your marketing is to create awareness for your business and/or brand. When you are being Spirit-led in your marketing you will create immediate awareness with the people that God has called you to serve.  They will become
aware of your services and products by the prompting of the Holy Spirit and will
feel led to learn from you and/or work with you.

Spirit-led awareness focuses on developing a higher sense of your own consciousness in your marketing approach by:

  • Being mindful of the impact your marketing has on individuals and society
  • Staying tuned in to spiritual guidance and intuition in your business decisions
  • Improving your self-awareness and understanding your true motivations

3. ATTRACTION

Your marketing should create attraction for the people that you are called to serve in the marketplace. When you practice Spirit-led marketing you attract the people you are called to serve in the marketplace and repel the people you are not supposed to
serve. This attraction allows you to work with ideal and aligned clients in your business.

Spirit-led attraction is about drawing in the right customers or clients naturally by:

  • Focusing on authenticity rather using manipulation in your messaging
  • Trusting that by operating with integrity, you’ll attract like-minded customers/clients
  • Creating value-based content that resonates with your target audience’s spiritual or ethical values

4. ACTION

The key to your marketing is to inspire some type of action for your audience to take. That action can be to download a freebie, sign-up for an event, or purchase a product or service;  your marketing should inspire action. When you are being Spirit-led with your marketing it creates Spirit-led action for you and for your audience.

Spirit-led action relates to implementing spirit-led principles in your marketing activities by:

  • Taking inspired action based on spiritual guidance
  • Implementing ethical practices in all marketing efforts
  • Serving your customers/clients with genuine care and consideration
  • Continuously aligning your actions with your spiritual values

Want to learn how to create a Spirit-led Marketing Plan so you can attract your ideal and aligned clients? Are you ready to create attraction with the people you are called to serve in the marketplace and inspire action with your audience?

5 Key Points to Simply Believe!

ORIGINAL POST 8/28/2019

Last week we discussed CLARITY and how it equips you to effectively market your brand. Check out the blog to learn 3 areas you should be clear on when it comes to marketing your business.

This week I’m shaking things up a bit because I wanted to share with you a special message – my FAITH FRIDAY message. It works the same as Marketing Monday in that I choose a focus word related to faith in business. This week the word is BELIEVE. Watch the video and/or read the summary below to learn 5 key points about simply believing!

REVISED AND REPOSTED 9/10/24

5 Key Points to Simply Believing

Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 18:4 ESV)

In Matthew 18:4, Jesus emphasizes that true greatness in the kingdom of heaven does not come from status or achievements but from humility. By comparing those who are humble to a child, He highlights that simplicity and a genuine, unpretentious attitude are key to serving God. This scripture suggests that serving God should be straightforward and sincere, focusing on a humble heart instead of being important or successful. In addition, we are more apt to hearing God’s instructions and in position to be obedient.

I share the 5 points to believing below.

1. Serving God Should Not Be Complicated

Anything that you are doing in your business or personal life that is causing complication needs to have God brought in to clear it up. Chaos and confusion is not of God and does not serve God.

2. Be Like a Child

Simply enjoy yourself as children do. What are you doing to enjoy yourself? Be carefree and understand that God is in control. Believe what you are told in God’s word; God tells you what is promised so believe it.

3. Believing Simplifies Life

God takes care of our circumstances. when you believe that God has your back, believe things will work out, believe His Word. Believing releases joy and frees us to enjoy our lives.

4. Diligently Do What God Says

Do what He says in His word and what He speaks to our hearts. We hear what God says when we are reading His word and when He touches our hearts.

5. Put All Your Trust in God and Be Obedient

We have to exercise our trust in God by giving our circumstances and situations to Him to handle and then simply BELIEVE it is taken care of. Being obedient is simply doing what He instructs and believing it will be done.

3 Ways to be Spirit-Led in Your Business

ORIGINAL POST 4/5/2022

In the previous blog post, we discussed the importance of tapping into the vision that you have for your business and how that vision can impact the success of your business, and we looked at the vision statement for several well-known companies.  If you missed that post, be sure to check it out ‘What’s the vision you have for your business?’ 

Today, let’s move from vision to action and focus on Holy Spirit-Led Action. Watch this throwback Marketing Monday video below or read the summary to discover 3 ways to take Spirit-Led Action in your business. 

REVISED AND REPOSTED:

3 Ways to be Spirit-Led in Your Business:

1. OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunity – Business owners and entrepreneurs come across opportunities unexpectedly all the time. Many opportunities we experience are not planned and some of them are not for us. When we are presented with an opportunity we have a feeling of being led and sometimes we do not. We must know the difference of being led to an opportunity and being presented with an opportunity. It really is a matter of being active or being passive.

When we are led to an opportunity it is because we are actively seeking it out. This can show up as networking, updating your skillset, staying aware of what you are looking for, taking initiative, having a growth mindset, and/or preparing for the opportunity.

When we are presented to an opportunity it is something that simply happens without effort. This can show up as someone in your network suggests or offers and opportunity, waiting for something to happen, reacting to opportunities only when they are presented, and/or staying in your comfort zone.

2. IDEAS

Ideas – Ideas come and go by the minute because we see and hear a lot about and from other businesses. Every idea we have is not for us to take action on. However, when an idea is dropped in our spirit, we begin to feel that tug at our hearts. This is a tug that we feel strongly and it seems it will not leave us.

Here are a few ways to know if an idea requires us to take action:

  • intellectual or emotional. You determine this by understanding if it was simply information or if the information caused an emotional reaction to take action. Ideas that are for you will be both intellectual and emotional.
  • external or internal validation. Hearing ideas rely on external input, but knowing an idea is for you requires internal validation and must be in alignment with your values and beliefs.
  • temporary or lasting. We hear a high volume of ideas regularly and these fade away rather quickly. However, ideas that are for us tend to stick with us and influence our thoughts and actions.

3. COLLABORATIONS

Collaborations – We connect with people all the time in person and online. God creates divine connections. Divine connections are appointed times that you are to be with others to deliver and/or receive a specific message. We are here to do the work we are called to do, but it is not necessary for it to be done alone all the time. Pay attention to the collaborations and partnerships that present themselves in your business.

Collaboration has its benefits and drawbacks so it is important to take careful consideration before collaborating.

Collaboration is beneficial when potential collaborators have skills, knowledge, or resources that fill gaps in your business. Relationship building is the foundation of collaboration because it strengthens professional networks and create opportunities for future partnerships. Bringing together different or diverse perspectives and experiences can spark creativity and lead to innovative solutions that wouldn’t be possible working in isolation.

New Place + New Pace = New Perspective

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut, going through the motions of your daily routine without really engaging with the world around you? Sometimes, all it takes to shake things up is a change of scenery and a shift in your usual rhythm. In this post, I share how simply shaking up your daily routine can lead you to discover how “New Place + New Pace” could equal the new perspective you’ve been looking for.

Watch or read this vlog to discover how a NEW PLACE + NEW PACE = NEW PERSCPECTIVE:

Watch this VLOG:  

Read this BLOG:   

Discover how a new PLACE + a new PACE = a new PERSPECTIVE

NEW PLACE:

Here are two ways to change your PLACE:  

  1. CHANGE YOUR WORK LOCATION-  Changing up the location of where you work can help you to be more productive. If you work from home, try working at a co-working space or a coffee shop. Sometimes being around other people and in a different atmosphere can help you to gain a new perspective or it can change how you feel and how you think, which can be helpful for your business.
  2. CHANGE WHERE YOU GO TO TAKE A BREAK-  Try going to another city in you area to experience different shops, restaurants and experiences locally. Visit a different state to experience different food and culture, or even better, travel to different countries to experience food, culture, and sites in a new country. Doing these things can help you to gain a new perspective.

NEW PACE:

  • Slowing down your pace in order to reflect, think, pause can help you to be more innovative, spark new ideas, and offer new insight.
  • Speed up your pace when you have big launches or events in your business. That increased pace will make a difference.

NEW PERSPECTIVE:

When you change your physical location and you change your pace it naturally creates a NEW perspective and helps you to be renewed, refreshed, and revived.

In-person retreats are a GREAT way to change place and pace and to learn and grow in life and in business. Retreats can be some of the most transformative experiences.

INPUT v. INSIGHT

This week on the VLOG I share the difference between input and insight and how both are needed and necessary for life and business. However, we look at how insight is more powerful.

Discover how intuition, instincts, and inspiration can be powerful to guide you in business and as a believer in business the gifting and relevance of the Holy Spirit and being led by the Holy Spirit in business.

INPUT- something that is put in
For the sake of this conversation INPUT is outward sources (coaches, experts, books, etc.) information that we receive from outside sources. This can be super helpful in life and business.

You can get input from:

  • Coaches & Counselors can help to shift you to the next level through guidance, instructions, directions. Therapists process pain while coaches guided you in various areas. Both are needed and necessary.
  • Computer- AI you put input and the computer gives you awesome output

INSIGHT – the power or act of seeing into a situation
For the sake of this conversation INSIGHT is your inward sources (intuition, inspiration, imagination, Holy Spirit). Information that we are given that comes from inside. This can be the most powerful guidance and includes: Intuition- Direct perception of TRUTH

  • Instinct- Innate impulse, tendency to ACT
  • As believers we are gifted with the Holy Spirit there to guide, instruct, and direct us (John [14:26])

INSIGHT is more powerful than INPUT. Get input but lean on insight.

Counseling + Coaching

Discover two things that can help you to uplevel in life and in business.

1. Counseling– professional guidance in resolving personal conflicts and emotional problems usually associated with your childhood, environment, culture, society, etc.)

Counseling helps you to process:

  • Trauma- Child abuse, domestic violence, etc.
  • trauma- rejection, disappointment, discouragement, etc.
  • DNA trauma- trauma that is actually ingrained in your DNA

2. Coach– a person who trains and athlete, a private tutor who prepares students, or a person who instructs actors or singers.

Through coaching you are being trained, prepared, or instructed to help you improve in a certain area of your life.

Some areas I have sought coaching for include:

  • Life coach
  • Business coach
  • Health coach
  • Relationship coach

Watch this VLOG:  

Do you see how both counseling and coaching are needed to level up in life and in business?

If you’re looking to uplevel in business a great way to do that is in a coaching environment such as a mastermind.

God’s Plan > Your Plan

Discover why God’s plan is always greater than any plan you create on your own! During this VLOG, I take a look at the anchor scripture verse Jeremiah 29: 11, “For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord, “plans to PROSPER you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.

Watch this VLOG:  

Key parts of this scripture verse:

  1. I know the plans I have for you- God knows that PLAN, not you, not me, not anyone one else, God has the full plan for your life and business
  2. Declares the Lord- This is the Lord’s proclamation, declaration for YOU
  3. There are 3 parts to the declaration:
  • PROSPER you- Prosper is defined as to be SUCCCESSFUL or fortunate, thrive, flourish
  • Give you HOPE- Hope is defined as the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that event will turn out for the BEST
  • A FUTURE- Future is defined as a time that will BE or come after the present, a condition to come

    4.  This tells us:

  • God has a good plan!
  • Nothing we plan without God can be as good as His plan for us
  • We have to trust in God’s plan
