10 Must Read Books That Will Change Your Life! {Successful Mindset Training}

July 13, 2016 By Shalonda 1 Comment

You may think that 10 Must Read Books can’t really “Change Your Life”.

And truth be told a few years ago I would have thought the exact same thing.

I was diagnosed with ADHD during my Junior year of college.. I remember so clearly..

One of the benefits from this diagnosis was that I would receive all my books on audio.. because they told me that I couldn’t comprehend what I was reading… therefore I should listen to it.

I never really believed them.. WHY?

Well.. let’s see.. I made it through 5 AP classes my senior year of high school.. Passed AP Chemistry and AP Physics placing me in second year college Chem course and Physics courses during my freshman year of college.

Let’s not forget I was a Chemistry major.. and for the three years prior to my diagnosis I was writing 20 page lab reports.. and 20 page English papers..

And trust I had to do lots of reading.. the issue wasn’t that I couldn’t comprehend.. the issue was that I had convinced myself that I didn’t like reading.

Yet.. lets really tell the truth and shame the devil..

I didn’t like WHAT I was reading.. I mean.. I can’t use ANY of that stuff today.

Years after leaving college… Ummmm notice I said leaving.. not graduating..

I became an Entrepreneur.. and discovered that all the successful Entrepreneur may not have degrees..

Yet they were reading!!

The first thought that crossed my mind.. “I don’t like to…..”

Then I thought.. “Why don’t I like to….”

Then I thought.. “I don’t really give a … (Ok.. check it…. back then I had a mouth like a sailor.. you wouldn’t believe the words that came out of my mouth on a daily basis. I can barely believe it myself.. so I’m not going to give you the EXACT word for word thought….as it may offend you.. especially if you are one of those types that acts like your dookie don’t stink.. LOL)

Basically I reached a time in my journey where what I thought… was not working for me..

Actually it was working against me.. maybe you can relate.. maybe your thoughts have been getting in the way of your dreams..

So I began my journey of reading.. and BOY DID IT CHANGE MY LIFE!!!

Over the years a few books really gave me the medicine I needed to change my thoughts.. and I’m going to give you my top 10..

10 Must Read Books #1: Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

I have read this book 3 times.. and learned more from every read.

3 Unauthorized Steps To Creating Your Personal Vision Statement

December 2, 2015 By Shalonda Leave a Comment

Your personal vision statement is your map to greatness. There are moments in time when you have the opportunity to sit with greatness.. You may not even realize it at first. Then you begin to communicate and the more you hear the more you know that greatness is in your mist.

How many times have you started creating your personal vision statement just to leave it in the dust a week later. You go back to the habits of your grind and look up 8 months later wondering where the time went.. and realizing that you do not have exactly what your vision stated that you would have.

I knew Amyra Mondon was big on Vision when she graciously accepted my interview with her.. yet I had not idea that she would speak LIFE back into me.

Let me just take a moment to be completely transparent with you. See my vision statement was… let’s just say incomplete.

See I had a vision to become a stay at home mom.. making enough income online to provide for my family.. The vision was clear in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012..and then POW.. January of 2013 I became a stay at home mom. At that time I just kept going.. I didn’t reevaluate my vision and things did not go the way I would have liked.. to say the least.. About 8 months ago I realized that something had to change.. and quickly!

Instead of manifesting my vision.. I was manifesting my worst fears.

I shifted a few things around in my business which required that I take what I’ve learned over the years and GRIND IT OUT!! See sometimes we have success and reach goals.. just to have to start again with the knowledge we learned while reaching for past goals.

Why I Interviewed Amyra Mondon On Vision

Many know Amyra Mondon IsaBody Challenge 2014 Winner.. yet I know her way before that.. We actually went to the University of Georgia together. When we met we weren’t even of legal age to buy a glass of wine. Life was this playground and we were constantly playing. Over the years we lost touch yet reconnected about 4 years ago online. When we talked I knew that she would offer great examples of vision statements. When a lady has this type of transition.. (see image below)

It’s obvious that Amyra Mondon knows what vision is and how to make it a reality. She actually won $25,000 for taking the first place in the IsaBody Challenge. Talk about making a vision into a reality.

Not only did she transform her body.. yet she transformed her life.. all by incorporating the unauthorized steps that she mentions in the interview.

The Blab Interview The Will Literally Change Your Life If You Implement The Steps Given

Most of the time it’s best to see a person with blab live streaming, because it gives you the opportunity to see how they are live.. practically in person.

After this interview I actually received LIFE.. See there are activities to free your mind that we simply do not learn in school. Most of us didn’t learn these skills from our parents because they never learned the skills either. Yet you now have an opportunity to actually dig deep inside of your subconscious mind and pull out the truth that you are meant to live.

Regardless of what you life looks like, or the circumstances that you are experiencing right now, you have the power to change everything that you do not like about your life. You have the power to enhance the things you do like about your life. You have the power to live your best life.. and become the best YOU that you can become.

I believe in you! And I’m here to help you find many reasons to keep smiling!

Take Away

Make sure to get really clear on what you want.

Prepare to become very comfortable with who you are from the inside out.

Stay Clear!!

The Financial Freedom Friday Revolution Requires YOU!

May 8, 2015 By Shalonda Leave a Comment

Financial Freedom Friday has changed my life over the years.. just the idea that I could actually change my financial situation by adding a few things to my every day life gave me hope… joy… unbelievable drive!

As you’re reading this post.. understand one thing.. nothing is coincidence.

See you are reading this for a reason.. maybe it’s because you and I are more alike then you know… or maybe we are completely different.

I’ve known ever since I was 19 years old that I was an entrepreneur.

Financial Freedom Friday A Reminder Of What’s Possible

Every day life will make you think that the idea that you can actually have financial freedom doesn’t exist.

I still remember the moment when I was sitting looking at my daughters.. one age 8 and one age 1. I had not finished college.. left with only 2 classes left to take in order to obtain my Bachelors in Physical Chemistry, with a minor in Physics. That was 11 years prior to this moment.. I was working a job that I could not stand..

I felt trapped..

I could not see a way out..

Fear over took my mind.. “Is this seriously my life?”

At that moment… High school was the last time I had experienced real success.

As I sat and looked into the eyes of my daughters… I knew I had to give them a hope that this world could not supply.. yet HOW?

The only way I could see an escape was through the Home Based Business industry.

I’d tried and failed many many many times.. yet for some reason I couldn’t let it go..

I could not give up.

My daughters grew every single day… only in my space did time appear to stand still.

I refused to give up..

I would listen to calls every Friday.. I dubbed them my Financial Freedom Friday calls.. lol.

They kept that fire burning.. I found financial freedom videos and watched them..

After about 4 months of listening and watching.. I decided.. I knew..

“I’m doing this No Matter What!”

I turned to the internet and begin looking for a different way to find success in the Home Based Business industry, as the way I had tried in the past did not work.

Home meetings didn’t work for me…
Cold Calling didn’t work for me..
Flyers.. didn’t work for me..
Super Saturdays didn’t work for me..

As I researched online I realized that I needed a few things to have true success..

More money
People to talk to
And A Product That Grew With Time

Financial Freedom Friday Is The Beginning Of Your Dreams Realized

I failed in two more companies before having success in my current company.. See my current company is an education factory.. it gives any Entrepreneur the tools and the education needed in order to have success online. Rather you have a business or need a business.

I made it my business and never looked back.

Today I want to share our Financial Freedom Friday call with you. It was given by my mentor Tracey Walker. I give her credit for making the leader that I am today. The mentor that I am today..

Click Play below and listen.. and then simply TAKE CONTROL.. Get Excited.. your time is NOW.. and I’m here… See my vision is to see every person who WANTS financial freedom and is willing to WORK for it… ACHIEVE IT!! PERIOD!

The Final 4 Steps To Perfect Your Time Management

October 28, 2014 By Shalonda 1 Comment

Well, now that you have successfully implemented the first 6 steps to

Perfect Your Time Management

let’s conclude with the final 4 steps.

Before we jump in.. make sure that you have implemented Part 1 and Part 2 of this series in order have the best results with your time management. Now we will continue with the final time management tips and strategies that will perfect your business, and allow you to create more time for the things you really want to do.

Step 7 To Perfect Time Management Is To Establish Routines

If you have a habit, you sometimes unconsciously do it without waiting for any internal or external motivation.

This is a routine that you are already used to doing. Now we must make sure that you have established routines that lead to healthy time management. And now only that they are established yet that you stick to them as much as possible.

If you make some daily routines in your life that can contribute to your productivity, accomplishing things will be easier and faster, creating successful time management.

The level of fulfillment will be higher and your sense of achievement will make you perform more.

One way to make sure of this is to follow the time management sheet in Step 2.

Step 8 To Time Management Is To Get In The Habit Of Setting Time Limits For Tasks

As part of your perfect time management plan, you always have to specify the duration of your tasks.

Your tasks can never be an unending task.

You have to set a time for you to accomplish everything and follow your schedule.

Control yourself and have the discipline to deliver according to your set deadlines.

This can make you accomplish more in the long run.

When I was discovering how to manage time effectively, I purchased a stop watch. See I found that I would start working on a project and not really set a time limit for that project. As I worked.. I figured I would finish when I finished. You might be able to relate.

So one day, I heard one of my mentors mention that they used a stop watch.. so I figured why not.. I couldn’t explain how it would work, yet I figured if my mentor used it then I should at least try it out.

The first project I used it for was creating a blog post similar to this one… I set the stop watch for 40 minutes.. as I felt I should finish this project in that amount of time.

I actually finished in 30 minutes. I was sold. I’ve never looked back. So if you find yourself having issues completing goals in specific time frames then purchase a stop watch, and set the time and go to work.

What I’ve found is that the stop watch allows for targeted focus on the goal at hand which leads to quicker completion.

Step 9: Make Sure That You Have An Organized System

A disorganized person will never think clearly nor will they accomplish successful time management.

His mind will be overwhelmed with many things.

There are no priorities and he himself will feel the burden of having to do many things.

If this is already happening, then, you have to reread this article and apply the tips to successful time management, one at a time.

You have to gradually implement the ways to manage your time.

You need to have a system to organize things and you need to be patient. What creates a stressful feeling, normally, is expecting things to be done in an instant.

This can result to frustration and can affect your time management program, as a whole.

Finally Step 10: Don’t Waste Time Waiting

Don’t wait for results to be delivered by other people.

Avoid being idle.

When this happens, the drive to achieve will be affected and you will end up dilly-dallying and not accomplishing anything.

With successful time management planning, you can do things in parallel especially when waiting for some results to be given by another person who you have delegated the work to.

Waiting and productivity are extremes.

They never go together.

Find something in your plan to do.

Adjust if necessary.

Remember that your main objective is to do more with less time.

This is the secret of achievers. Successful time management is a very important ingredient for success.

The Effective Steps To Spicy Time Management (Part 2)

October 25, 2014 By Shalonda 4 Comments

… The Next Steps To Successful Time Management

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” ~Michael Altshuler

Steps 4-6 Of Successful Time Management!

Step 4: Successful Time Management Is To Use Time Management Tools

It is not easy to manage time without useful tools to guide you and help you in tracking your activities.

The most common tool that you can use is a calendar and appointment setting software.

This way, all your activities will be recorded, and you can set reminders to accomplish your tasks.

You have a personal digital secretary that will tell you what are the expectations given a specific period.

If you are a bit technical, you can also use a project management software application that can also keep track of milestones or accomplishments and identify the critical path that you need to follow so that your project or activities will not be delayed.

There are other tools that you can use to help you manage your time.

However, you have to remember that the basic things are enough not to complicate matters and make you end up confused.

Instead of spending time to become more productive, learning the advanced software can be a burden and will end up taking more of your time. The purpose of time management can then be defeated.

So make sure you stay on track when it comes to choosing your software. If it looks like it will become a hassle to set up, simply outsource the task of setting up your software so that you can remain on track toward reaching your goals.

Step 5: Successful Time Management Is That You Must Prioritize Ruthlessly

You have to know what is important and what is urgent as you go through these time management strategies.

A prime example is making sure that you prioritize your income producing activities (IPA). As an internet marketer many get caught up in busy work which simply does not create an income.

Now the activity may set you up to make the process for generating income flow more smoothly, yet it is not an activity that directly effects income.

Not all urgent matters need your attention.

Some urgent matters can take much of your time.

You have to discern if something is worth giving your time and if it will increase your productivity and help you achieve something.

You should create a list of all your activities and tasks for the day and set priorities.

Step 6: Successful Time Management Is To Learn To Delegate and/or Outsource

When it comes to how to manage time effectively one must know how to use resources.

This includes human resources.

If you have these resources at your disposal, then make full use of them by delegating some tasks.

Do not overwhelm yourself with so many activities.

It will only drag and stress you out.

In the end, the quality of your output will suffer.

Learn to create results through people and you will be surprised that you can achieve more.

Also, in areas that you are not excellent in, you will find that other people can produce better results and this can contribute to the overall success of your project or activity.

I always surround myself with people who are amazing at the things I’m horrible at accomplishing.

As you implement each of these steps correctly, you will see successful time management.

Note: Successful Time Management Can And Must Become Habit

I recommend you attempt to implement these steps for 21 days… and watch your entire business change, as you Successful Time Management begins to change the horizon.

So let’s recap..

Set up your time management software, these days your smart phone can more cover this for you.
Outsource any activities that take you too long to accomplish so that you spend your time doing the things you specialize in. Check out the The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated). This book will change your life.
Take the 21 day challenge of Time Management and watch your actions become habit.

The Incredible First 3 Steps To Successful Time Management

October 24, 2014 By Shalonda 1 Comment

Listed are the first 3 steps to obtaining successful time management skills.

If you begin to implement these steps, you will see improvements in how you handle things and how you manage things for yourself.

The First 3 Steps To Successful Time Management

Step 1: Successful Time Management is to find out where you’re wasting time.

You can do this by keeping a log of what you do every day and schedule a period to assess how you have spent your time and how much time was used for every activity.

Recording should be done daily on your time management sheet, but the assessment can be done after three days or so.

This way, you can improve in the succeeding days and reduce, if not eliminate activities that just waste your precious time.

You will shock yourself when you see how much time you actually have.

I remember when my mentor and I were talking one time and she was wanting me to add something to my schedule, I remember clearly looking at her and saying, I don’t have time for that”. She looked right back at me and started going through the 24 hours a day that I have. See she knew me just that well.. that she knew exactly what I had time for, and what I chose to make time for. By the time she was finished.. I had nothing to say, except.. yes I can do that. ROFL.

Step 2: Successful Time Management Is To Create Time Management Goals.

If you do not have a goal in anything, then it is pretty clear that you are not going anywhere.

Anything can just lead you anywhere. Time management tips and strategies help you organize the action of your goals.

In order to better manage your time, you have to set your goals.

It starts by setting up your calendar and know what you need to accomplish every day.

This means that before doing anything, when you start your day, you should plan things out and dictate what will happen for the rest of the day.

You can control this and your discipline to follow your commitment will be a great contribution to achieve the goals that you have set.

Step 3: Successful Time Management Is To Implement A Time Management Plan.

A time management plan includes not only setting up your daily calendar.

It also is a plan that specifies the resources that you need to realize the activities that you need to do.

If there are no available resources to accomplish your tasks, you might drag your time and end up accomplishing nothing.

I have done this many times. See when you begin to work full time in your business, time management is crucial to your success. See now you don’t have a boss or manager looking over your shoulder every five minutes. It really is up to you to get the work finish. There are some days when I’m on fire.. accomplishing every task that needs to be completed..

It’s really kind of funny as I’m writing this article, I’ve been in one of those moments when I finish just enough. Maybe you can relate. You know that moment when you really do not feel like doing what needs to be done. So you do just enough to get by. While writing this post I’m becoming motivated. I look forward to implementing these three steps into my schedule.

Resources are very important to make your plan happen.

Also, you need to list down in detail the distractions that you can encounter as you fulfill your tasks, it is important to identify them and know what are the measures and steps to avoid such distractions.

Some distractions you already know about.. you do not have to wait for them to come up..

Here let me help you..

Your plan should clearly indicate the steps that you need to do not to fall into the trap of these distractions, which can take some productivity time from you.

Your Assignment For Successful Time Management

Take some time and review your goals, and look at your successful time management.
Review how your time is spent. This time of year is the perfect time to reflect on what you have accomplished and how you can accomplish more.
If you already have successful time management goals and a plan, review them and prepare them for the next level.
If you do not have successful time management goals and a plan, create them before the New Year begins.

FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

FAITH is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!

FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE!

FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

The Explosive True Story About How To Quit Your Job

October 10, 2014 By Shalonda 6 Comments

Want To Know How To Quit Your Job Then Keep Reading

I remember when I started my first job at the age of 15.

It was that moment in my life when my parents decided I was too old for them to keep buying me every thing I wanted.

They felt it was time for me to “earn” my keep.

I remember it like it was yesterday.. (talk about the good ole days) I didn’t have a worry in the world.. except to get good grades in school in order to keep my parents satisfied.

I made $10 a week just for doing my chores.. and that was my “spending” money.. the rest.. my parents gave me.

Yet this time it was different. I asked for a 12 speed Schwinn bike. It was a must have in my eyes.

Went to my parents and they both agreed it was time for me to start buying my own “goodies”.

I was like.. no problem.. I went out and got a job. My first job was at the Frankfurt Contracting Authority. It was a job on base.. that paid me $7 an hour. I knew I would have my bike in no time. Yet I didn’t realize all the responsibility that came with having a job.

That was the beginning of a long journey of jobs.. most of which I didn’t like.

I found myself wanting to ask people do you know how to quit your job?

At the age of 19, I was introduced to Network Marketing. The industry was given to me as an answer to the question of how to quit your job.. yet I learned really quick that it wasn’t nearly as simply as drawing circles on a white board, or inviting people out to a meeting, or even selling the products that I had stacked up at my home.

After years and years.. it seemed like there was really no answer to how to quit your job. At least not an answer that worked for me.

Yet you know that saying.. Never give up!! I mean there had to be a way.. people were quitting their jobs every day.. At least in the circles I kept. Yet none of them really answer the question of how to quit your job for me.

When You Start Asking How To Quit Your Job A Shift Is Taking Place In Your Beliefs

Some may tell you that there are many ways to quit your job. I mean you can just say.. “beep it” and walk out. You can give a two weeks notice and write a letter to quit job. Or my favorite you can quit your job knowing that you will never have another job again. At least not a job that you want to quit. Stay with me for a second.. I know you are wondering where I’m going with this….

See when you start thinking like you will never have a job again.. you are living the signs you need to quit your job. So when you ask how to quit your job.. you are looking and expecting a permanent answer.

The shift took place for me in 2008. At that moment the people around me shifted. See I started hanging out with Business owners..and not employees. I started watching their lives and how they literally could create money out of thin air. I noticed how they had complete control of all of their time. Was there a price to pay.. Ummmm Yes!

It really boils down to what you want… what you desire in life. When you wake up are you excited to see what is to come or is it the same ole thing over and over again.

You know you can change that right??

I have a network of Go-getters around me.. and I give them the chance to ask me any question they desire.. Why.. because the reality is if you can relate to me.. you can see yourself in my story then guess what you can do what I do.. You may not get there the same way as me.. yet you can get there.

One of the “Go-Getters” around me asked me this question:

You’re the queen of silly questions? Cool! Lol..my question for you is..how long did it take you to quit your job once you started to see consistent results?

I can’t tell you the exact person that asked me the question, because I allow them to be asked anonymous. Why? You know why.. I have questions I want to ask and don’t necessarily have to say it is me.. I’m just saying.. maybe you are different.

I personally love the interaction.. and I learned a long time ago that you can’t take things personal! I honestly wish more people would ask questions.. vs. assuming they know everything which leaves them stuck in the same situation.

Want To Know How To Quit Your Job? Well Here Is How I Did It! And Help Others Do It Too!

What better way to answer a question then in person.. or well in video.. lol..

It’s simply time to start the steps toward how to quit your job.

[Spoiler Alert] How The Equalizer Takes The Mind To New Levels

October 3, 2014 By Shalonda 6 Comments

The Equalizer Will Take You On A Journey If You Let It!

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare they are difficult. ~Seneca

So today I decided to head out to the movies to see Denzel Washington in The Equalizer.

I’d seen all the previews.. thinking to myself.. this baby must be an action packed enjoyment of my Friday morning.

Now first let me just tell you.. if you haven’t seen the movie yet… Keep reading.. this is perfect for you.. yet let me tell you.

If you want to know what happens in this movie.. you better ask somebody else. I treat others the way I like to be treated.. and I hate it when people tell me parts of movies I have yet to see.. smile.

Yet there is this one thing..

This thing.. that I simply couldn’t let go without pointing it out.

Lean in.. come on now.. don’t be shy.. come in closer to your screen..

The Equalizer is about to get really interesting to you. If you are reading this to decide rather to go see it or not.. then you are absolutely in the right place..

You are about to learn something.. in about 2 minutes..

The Equalizer Movie Will Cause You To Reflect On Yourself

I don’t know about you.. yet when I watch movies I like to pull something that I can relate to my life.

Something that when I leave the movie.. I can say to myself.. “Shalonda.. it’s just a movie.. yet take ______ from it”

And honestly The Equalizer came with a few mind-blowing truths that I had to accept.

Yet before I get into those truths.. I have to give you a little background..

No worries.. I’m not going to tell the movie..

I remember a time in my life when I was fearless.. I honestly felt like I was invisible. It wasn’t until I few weeks ago did I realize that my mind had changed on this reality.

See a friend of mines invited me out to see the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. We had amazing seats, they were in section 137 and row 14. Talk about CLUTCH!!

As the game was on a Thursday night I knew driving into the city was going to be CRAZY.. so I decided to ride the Marta, the public train system. Now.. before I go further, just know that I’m not saying anything negative about public transportation.. so please don’t get off track.. stay focused on what I’m telling you..

So as I’m thinking it through.. I decide I would really rather drive.. yet parking on a game night is from $25-$60. And I was not paying that..yet I felt some kind of way about not having my car. Stay with me it’s all going to come together with The Equalizer in just a second.

I called my dad and asked him what he thought, as he is a season ticket holder. He told me to ride the Marta. Well, as I’ve gotten older.. I’ve accepted that “Daddy knows best”. So I told him.. I had not rode the public transportation downtown in so long.. I felt a little nervous about the journey. He said.. “Stay alert.. you’ll be alright”

Then I told him.. Yeah.. I’ll be fine!

See the last time I rode the train to the Georgia Dome was before I had kids.. It was March 27, 1998 and The Bulls were playing The Hawks at the Georgia Dome.. Phillips Arena was being built. I know the date because it was the largest crowd in NBA history with 62,046 people in attendance. I didn’t notice.. as I had 1 ticket.. 3 rows back from the floor. Rodman fell on me trying to keep the ball in play.. I swear Jordan was looking right at me when he took his free throw shots.. Talk about a night for the record books!

I still remember to this day heading down there.. not a concern in the world.. not worried about anything… yet this time.. 16 years later.. single mom of two.. lots of experiences that told me anything can happen.. everything felt…. well different.

The Equalizer Showed Me A Reality That Exploded My Business Overnight…

The Equalizer movie trailer showed action.. yet I had no idea that I would discover that I’m still just as invisible as I ever was in my youth.

The fact that I didn’t know it.. well.. it was a problem. It was holding me back. I simply had allowed knowledge and experience to hinder my FEARLESS spirit.

There was a confidence in Denzel Washington’s character in this movie.. A “I don’t care what you think about me.. I will WIN” type confidence. It wasn’t a blind, arrogant confidence.

It was an “I know.. Like I know.. Like I know.. kind of confidence. Look I never watched the The Equalizer episodes.. yet this movie.. shook me out of place of not allowing myself to be WHO I AM!!

And the facts are I AM a successful business owner. I AM an AWESOME Mom. I AM AN Internet Marketer. I AM A Child of God!

Check out The Equalizer and prepare to leave your fear in the movie theater and come out as the WARRIOR you are.

Christian Hip Hop Artisit Explodes At #1 Spot On Billboard 200 Chart

October 2, 2014 By Shalonda 8 Comments

Christian Hip Hop Is On A New Level!

I simply had to switch it up today.. WHY??

Well when I heard this news… my heart skipped a beat.

As you read this post all the way to the end.. you not only become VERY motivated.. yet you will have a better understanding of what’s going on in YOUR life!

There are moments when a person simply stands out.. A moment when everything lines up and there is no denying that success has arrived.

Lecrae is one of those people. A few weeks ago this guy broke records.. and it’s not the first time.. it was just that moment when the world noticed.

My opinion is he has changed the view of Christian Hip Hop..

And honestly it’s a prime example of that saying, “It’s not about YOU”!

Before I go any further I want you to hear it directly from Lacrea…

How This Christian Hip Hop Artist Change The Game!

While most Christian artists have struggled to break out of the Christian music subculture, Lecrae has found early crossover success — and a significant following among white evangelical elites.

He navigates the tricky waters between rapping explicitly about Christianity while reaching a mainstream audience.

According to Billboard, he’s sold 1.4 million albums and 2.9 million track downloads.

“Anomaly” hit Billboard’s No. 1 the week ending September 14, 2014 — a first for a gospel album and only the fifth for a Christian album.

Success is all around this guy.. keep in mind that Christian Hip Hop songs are not hitting the Billboard’s No. 1 spot like this every day..

His acting debut in “Believe Me,” a film about a group of four men who try to con money out of churchgoers, received a short, positive nod from The New York Times. (source)

Check out what Lecrae said,

“A mentor told me years ago, ‘Lecrae you’re not in the widget and gimmick business, you’re in the people business. As long as you take care of people, they’ll take care of you,’” the rapper is quoted in his official bio. “So we’ve always looked at it as if we’re not trying to sell CDs, we’re trying to take care of people —Give them messages of hope and inspiration.”

As I’m reading all about Lecrae I’m realizing the way this guy thinks..

How he sees things…

In the Lecrae Biography I also see where he stated,

“People struggle with categories. Categories make us feel comfortable because it’s how we make sense of things in our minds,” Grammy-award winner Lecrae Moore ponders. But sometimes, when you discover something really special, it defies category. Lecrae finishes his thought, “Sometimes, there’s transcendence.”

This way of thinking is very much the way we SHOULD see things in the Home Based Business industry. At least the person you are following should already have this mind set already in place so that they can lead you into a place of transcendence.

The Connection Between The Success Christian Hip Hop Artist And Your Business!

The reality is that if you keep doing what the majority is doing.. you will remain like the majority.

And I don’t know if you notice.. yet they are not FREE!!

Let me tell you.. living this life of a Stay At Home Single Mom with my own business.. taking care of my family… living my life outside the norm..

It gets lonely sometimes..

People come at me like I’m the crazy one.. and when I say people.. I mean friends.. family.. those I love.

Yet on the other side.. I also have friends, family, and those I love that understand my journey.

There are people watching you right now..

Do you feel a little out of place in your current situation?? Feeling like you simply don’t belong?

It’s a SIGN!! Pay ATTENTION to what is going on in your world! Are you full of joy most of the time?

Do you wake up wanting to be somebody else?

If you answered yes!!

Make a change.

You may not know what to do.. how to change… I mean how do you do the unknown.. the different.

First you connect with a person that has already escaped.. (like me) and then you stay close.. and follow them to freedom.
