4 Ways Rest Helps Your Business

REPOST FROM 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 week’s 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 is the first part of pausing. Take a look at the video or read the summary below to learn 4 ways REST can help your business during the Collective Pause of 2020.

Who are you becoming?

It has been found that 80% of our success is attributed to our mindset. Our thoughts are the root of our actions. Therefore, while we explore mindset let the focus be on your thinking. Currently, I am reading High Performing Habits by Brendon Burchard. 

One of the tips he offers is about envisioning the future. He explains how we need to be intentional about who you want to become. We need to have a vision beyond our current circumstances. Take a look at the video or read the summary below to learn how to answer the question of who you are becoming.

3 ways like-minded people positively impact your business!

Being a business owner is NOT easy, sometimes the hardest thing can be getting the support you feel you need in order to succeed in business.

In this week’s blog post I focus on how a supportive group of like-minded people can positively impact your business!  Watch the video or read the post below to learn more.

There are several types of business groups that you can join that positively impacts your business.  These include groups like your local chamber of commerce, referral groups like Business Networking International (BNI), and online groups like Facebook Groups and LinkedIn Groups. But for this post I am focusing on ONE type of group that can make a major difference for your business and will help you move forward in business, and that group is an intimate mastermind group with approximately 3-8 members.

A mastermind is a group of people coming together to collectively brainstorm and support each other.  Here are three key things that you get from being involved in an intimate mastermind group:

  1. Support–   Being involved in a mastermind group gives you various support including emotional support, spiritual support, resources, recommendations, etc. It’s a group of people who will be there for you through the ups and downs of your business.
  2. Community–  An intimate group of like-minded, focused, and ambitious people can really help you with your business.  As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve taken a different path than most, so getting the support from others who understand your journey and know what you are going through is important.  It helps you to feel less isolated and by yourself and more involved in a group.
  3. Accountability–  A mastermind group helps to hold you accountable to your business goals and action steps.  Accountability is key to moving your business forward especially when you are held accountable to a group, you are more likely to stay on track to meet your goals.

3 KEY INNER STRATEGIES TO MARKET YOUR BUSINESS AND ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS

Marketing can be defined as the “activities” your business does to create “awareness”, “attract” new clients, and inspire “action” and because marketing is mainly about the  activities you do, most marketing information will focus on all the things you need to “do” to market your business.

2 key things to consider when marketing your business!

This week I share a throwback Marketing Monday FB Live video from 2020 where I share all about PLANNING your marketing and the two things to consider when planning your marketing.  Watch the video or read the summary to learn more.

Do you have a Marketing PLAN for your business?

Two Things To Consider When Planning Your Marketing:

  1. Have a Written Marketing Plan – you have to be strategic getting out of your head and write your plan down. Do you want to do blogs, or training videos, events, etc.? Be intentional about doing things that resonate with you. Minimize doing things that you only ‘think’ you have to do. Avoid RAM – RAM is Random Acts of Marketing! We no longer want to participate in RAM.
  2. Be Spirit-Led – begin to ask the question of what God wants you to do in your business. Stop doing what you want to do and check in with your spirit to learn what you should be doing. Be obedient to what your spirit is guiding to do.

Pray about what your strategy needs to be and write it down!

Want to learn how to be more Spirit-led when it comes to marketing your business?  Join me Thursday, April 21st at 2:00 pm ET for the Spirit-led Marketing Workshop!

3 Ways to be Spirit-Led in Your Business

We previously discussed the importance of tapping into the vision that you have for your business and how that can impact the success of your business. We discovered the vision statement for several well-known companies in the post  for a few of the most well-known businesses in the ‘What’s the vision you have for your business?’ blog post. 

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. 

3 Ways to be Spirit-Led in the Actions of Your Business

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

If you want to go deeper into how you can be Holy Spirit-Led in the Actions of your business, I encourage you to  join me for the Spirit-led Marketing Workshop on Thursday, April 21st at 2:00 pm ET to discover  three steps to be Spirit-led in your  Marketing.

The Power of 90-Day Goals & Plans

90-Day Goals & Plans

When I work with my clients on business goal setting and marketing activity planning, the thought of planning out activity for 12 months can be overwhelming and intimidating for many. So, I shifted from 12-month increments to 6-month increments. Then, I’ve found in working with many entrepreneurs and business owners is that there is POWER  in focusing on 90-Day increments.

When we focus on 3 months/90 Days, it’s less intimidating and easy to manage, so for a while now I’ve really focused on 90-Day business goals and marketing planning with my clients. In fact, I created a planner that’s focused on planning your marketing for 90-Days (shameless plug for my planner, the B.E.S.T. Marketing Planner, a 90 Day Guide to Help You Master Your Marketing and Grow Your Business). 

 Here a some reasons why setting goals for 90 days and planning for 90 days at a time is SUPER powerful:

Reach more people by amplifying your voice!

One of the key ways to reach more people in the Marketplace so that they can learn more about you and the services that you offer is to amplify your message.  When I looked up
the definition of “Amplify” on dictionary.com, it is defined as to make larger,
greater or stronger; enlarge; extend. 

When I saw the word “enlarge” in the definition, it reminded me of the popular prayer of Jabez in I Chronicles [4:10]:

Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and You would keep me from evil, that I might not cause pain! ‘ So God granted him what he requested.

Jabez requested several things:

·       Bless me
·       Enlarge my territory
·       Be with me
·       Keep me from evil

And guess what, God answered his prayer! So I want to encourage you today, to pray a
similar prayer, don’t feel shy to ask God to:

·       Bless your business
·       Enlarge your business
·       Partner with you in business
·       Keep bad things from happening to your business

Prayer is powerful and is an advantage that we have as believers in business, so consistently pray for your business. 

Partnering with God is one of the best ways to grow your business.  God is a God of order, a God of detail, and as your partner in business He will give you specific instructions. He will instruct you on what you need to be doing in the marketplace to make an impact, create an
influence, and have an income from the work that you do. 

One of the things that God instructs us to do is to write things down, “write the vision make it plain.” Writing down God’s instructions for marketing your business can be one of the BEST things you can do for your business. 

In fact, in the upcoming Marketplace Messenger Masterclass you will discover the two things you can create in order to write down and move forward with marketing and promoting your business, so be sure to join me on Wednesday, March 23rd
at 2:00 pm ET
in the Marketplace Messenger Masterclass to learn more!
