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

By 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

This book was actually the book that started me back on my journey to reading. See as I studied successful Entrepreneurs I realized they all had this one book in common. I figured there must be something to it. So I went to a book store and snatch up my copy. Little did I know that I would be one of the best investment in my life. I have read this book 3 times.. and learned more from every read.

10 Must Read Books #8 The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt

This book was recommended to me by an amazing entrepreneur and friend.  Our lives are similar.. with the fact that we work from home to provide for our families and we are both Single Moms. One day we talked.. and I mentioned how I was scatter.. didn’t really know rather I was coming or going.. things had changed in my life and in my business and it was time for a change… maybe you can relate.  Yet I had to get back to the basics of WHY I do what I do.. besides the obvious, which is to provide for my family.  As I read this book.. my eyes were opened.. yet again as to my purpose. One of my favorite parts are the exercises/activities to complete after each section. It’s life changing.. go pick it up TODAY.. if you haven’t read it yet. (HINT: The public library holds this book.. I actually checked it out while I waited for my copy.. so there are NO EXCUSES)

Now that you know the “Secret Key” to my success..LOL.. No seriously.. I credit every single one of these books to my success.

Why? You may ask.. well I’m just going to be honest with you.. my mind was ridiculous prior to me reading the books I listed. Truth be told I was running from everything I claim I wanted.. and didn’t even know it.  Well at least not until I started reading again.

I really hope these books are helpful to you.. and if you find this resource helpful please feel free to share it with those that you love.. I actually told my daughter about this list.. and she (at the age of 14) has chosen a book from the list to start reading. She keeps telling me she wants a life where she can do what she wants.. when she wants like me.. (Now between you and I.. I like that frame of thought!

The Shiloh Generals Vs. South Gwinnett Comets… WOW

By 4 Comments

Shiloh High School 9th Grade Football Team Played…

It was a cool evening around 64 degrees in Snellville, GA as me and my daughters headed out to watch Mark Robinson Jr., #29 play in what could be the last game of the season. We had planned to attend a game all season long.. yet life took over. From Chorus concerts to homework, to simply just not being able to get out on a Thursday night.  Yet tonight, missing the game was simply not an option.

We arrived late.. with only 4 minutes left in the second quarter.  The score was 0 to 0.  See the week before Shiloh whipped up on their opponents, the South Gwinnett Comets a TRUE rivalry it’s said. And they started the playoff season playing them all over again.

shiloh

Shiloh Generals Refused To Give An Inch…

Once they hit half time the score was still 0-0.  The Shiloh Generals were holding their ground.. so everyone went into their locker rooms for Half Time, as we enjoyed the Cheerleaders.

I was a Cheerleader in High School as a Freshman and a Sophomore.. and let me just say.. nothing has changed.. except one vital thing.. I know a WHOLE LOT MORE!! LOL

They even shouted a cheer that we said back when  I was cheer!

One we are the Generals, Two a little bit louder, Three I still can’t hear you MORE MORE MORE MORE ONE!!!!

Had me sitting there reminiscing of the good ole days.. when there was not a worry in the world.. All I had to do was get great grades, keep up with the practicing my toe touches and smile my way through every chick that wanted my place of popularity.. Talk about having it good. Yet the main part that was the best was not having a worry in the world… lol…

shiloh

The energy in the stadium was up beat.. yet then it happened.. That moment when you wonder if maybe you should have attended a different game.. as you want to see a VICTORY!

Shiloh Generals Throw An Interception And The Dominoes Started To Fall…

I tell you it got messy.  I mean all of a sudden I’m wondering where’s the Shiloh Book.. you know the Playbook! Anyone that knows me.. knows I’m serious about that playbook. The scene was like something out of a Friday Night Lights type of movie. Young minds that don’t really understand the meaning of loss.. or giving up.  Haven’t had too many thing happen yet that require that kind of experience to knock them down yet.  It’s that moment when the sun set and the temp drops.  Thank God I knew how to come prepared so we had a blanket of course..

shiloh

 

Every starts to go in slow motion as the refs start to lose their minds.. it honestly appeared like South Gwinnet had made a few deposits into their bank accounts prior to the game.. Now I’m not saying South Gwinnett wasn’t ready.. I’m just saying the refs were trippin.

I look at Mark’s mom and I said, “South Gwinnet watched some tape this week.. and had to run after that loss last week”

It showed.. as they scored and then went for the two point conversion.. which you know takes heart.. it’s almost like a smack in the face.. especially since they GOT IT!!

Then they scored again..

I was getting kind of frustrated with the Shiloh Generals coach as he seemed to not understand the meaning of “Substitute”.  I mean it seemed like the only way player got out was to play hurt.. as everyone who was down.. walked off the field just fine.. smile.

The boys were tired.. and the bench was full of refreshed ready to play Generals.. Now on the other side of the field the Comet’s coach was trading out players every other play.. keeping the team fresh and alert.. ready to go.  Yes.. it matters.. and the score showed it!

I can’t even tell you the score.. at the end.. I was stuck.. all I could see across the Shiloh Generals field was this sign.  It brought everything home.  Regardless of rather it’s a victory or a defeat we must…

shiloh

 

 

So The Shiloh Generals 9th grade football team lost their playoff game and so the season is over for them.. yet regardless they are victorious.  See I know from Mark that he busted his butt to make that team and worked hard at every practice.  Next year is nothing but opportunity! When he will have another moment to enjoy those moments when all you have is time and inches between you and Victory!

Now what does Shiloh have to do with YOU? 

How many times have you lost? How did you respond? You do realize that every loss leads you closer to a victory.  Especially when you can understand that there is nothing but time and inches between you and success.. NOT yards, NOT miles… just inches.

Never give up.. WIN THE DAY!!

That is what my squad does everyday.. WE WIN THE DAY!! A victory for me might look like a failure to you.. and I really don’t care. And that is the approach you should have in life as well.. Every time you decide you are not going to just TRY.. you are going to be the Victor that you were created deep down to become.

Well.. it was a great game.. I waited all day to write this post.. as I knew the energy at a 9th grade High School Game would motivate me beyond words!

When you’re finally tired of barely seeing success.. or simply do not know where to start to even get there.. just Click Here and join my Squad.. we will show you how it’s done quick.. now how fast you take hold of what we teach is all up to you! See Shiloh movie will continue as they will be back.. no doubts about it.. and so will Mark.. so what do you plan on doing.. I have the playbook.. and I’m willing to share it.. just don’t tell anyone.. (wink)

Keep Smiling,

Shalonda Gordon

From Napoleon Hill’s Think And Grow Rich

FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought! The foregoing sentence is worth reading a second time, and a third time, and a fourth. It is worth reading aloud!

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.

FAITH is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.

FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.

EVERY ONE OF THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS IS CAPABLE OF PROOF!

{Marketing Ideas} 

The Power of Your Truth

What is your truth??

I know I know you are thinking.. what marketing ideas can come from my truth?

Well that is exactly what I’m going to tell you.. Let me start by sharing a story with you.

Now before I start, I want you to clear your mind.

marketing ideas

 

Ok.. I could have you sit here and read the story.. yet

I’ve decided to let you hear it.

The marketing ideas are at the very beginning, so make sure you have your pen and paper ready!

How many times have you become really excited about hearing cool marketing ideas just to find out you have to go through an hour and a half of information before you get to the creative marketing ideas?

Well.. look.. there is actually a reason for that.. yet this time I wanted to get it to you as soon as possible so that you can get jumping with these ideas immediately!

Click Play For Your Marketing Ideas.. oh and a pretty funny story!!

What Are You Doing With Your New Marketing Ideas To See Massive Results?

Now that you have the marketing ideas, it’s time to take action in order to see massive results. Most of the time you will find yourself moving forward without putting together a marketing plan.  Try it differently this time.  Sit down and put together a marketing plan for the next  14 days.  And then follow this plan completely.  Realize that you must create a realistic marketing plan that you can follow with your current schedule.  Creating a plan that you realistically will not follow is a waste of time and energy. It can actually have a negative response on what you desire.  Make your first marketing plan easy enough for you to complete and have some extra time left over.  If you have 20 hours a week to invest into your business,  then set up 10 hours a week into your marketing plan.  Be kind to yourself.  Love yourself. And grow in your business.

Now for your assignment:

  1. Leave a comment telling me that one thing!! You know that thing you really don’t want to tell!
  2. You’re already half way there.. now do a video telling the story!
  3. Leave a link to your video in the comments below.

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

By 6 Comments

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

the equalizer

 

“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

the equalizer

 

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!

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

By 8 Comments

christian hip hop

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.

See Christian Hip Hop artist Lecrae realized what he had to do and did it!

Check out this video.. trust me it’s nothing like most Christian Hip Hop Videos… and then complete the assignment below!

See there is hot new Christian Hip Hop coming out every day.. yet Lecrae broke the mold.

Discover How The Ultimate Testimony Will Turn Your Business Around

The Business Testimony

How many times do you find yourself keeping your testimony to yourself.

Through out the years I’ve learned to share share share my testimony.

See what I noticed is that in corporate America we tend to keep our testimony or or success to ourselves because we really didn’t trust anyone.

It seemed like people would act like you were bragging or something if you shared any bit of your success.

NO MORE!

As a business owner your success story can save your brand.

Your Testimony Can Breath Life Back Into You

You’ve probably read this statement from me before.. yet my Pastors always says we don’t need a miracle, we only need a memory.

Your testimony says that you went through a trial and you overcame.

Your story can not only give life back to you.. yet to everyone who hears it.

I’m a strong believer that some of the trials I go through are because God knows I’m strong enough to make it through and tell about it in order to save another life.

I know that sounds pretty deep.. So Shalonda.. you are saying that God sends you through trials so that your testimony can SAVE A LIFE!!

Absolutely.. you never know what a person is going through.. and when you share your story about how you overcame, can possible save that person from making a crazy decision.

I don’t know about you.. yet for me there have been times when I couldn’t think of a testimony.

Felt like I had been in the valley for a long time.. yet at those moments I reach for the testimonies of others.  The testimonies of others give me that needed strength to keep pushing forward.

Something to consider next time you are keeping one of your many testimonies to yourself.

By 4 Comments

What Makes Money?? I remember when .. I didn’t know.. 

What makes money???

See many of you wonder.. Shalonda.. what exactly is your story??

I mean I know you’re a single mom of 2 today.. with 2 baby daddies.. yet really how did you change.. cuz change ain’t easy!!

It can hurt…

It can make you feel out of place…

It can make you feel straight crazy!!

Yet you know what.. that’s ok.. it simply tells you.. that you were meant for something different… something better!!

change to make moneyfrankfurt_throwback4

See these two pictures are full of love and smiles.. innocent.. or maybe not so innocent girls simply loving every moment of life.

We did what we wanted to do when we wanted to do it!

We enjoyed every second.

Sacrifice was not something we experienced.

We simply loved doing exactly what we wanted..

Did we regret it???

I believe if you ask any of us the answer would be NO!!

We had the times of our lives.. I was in 10th grade in the red, and in 8th grade in the white and gray.

If you can’t tell who I am.. well get some glasses like me.. *hint*.. lol.

The future was in front of us.. and it was ours for the taking.

I could tell you where each of the ladies in these pictures is today.. yet I believe that is their story to tell.. So I will simply tell you about me.

At this moment in time..

I had no idea what the change that makes money would be in my life, as it is different for each person.

It depends a lot on how we were raised.

The Change That Makes Money Becomes Clearer Over The Years!

Yet, let me be completely honest.. once I realized the change that makes money, it doesn’t mean I ran into change mode!!

NO, actually I tried every detour I could locate.

Why?

Well the change that makes money simply seemed like something I really was not willing to do at that time.

See most people thing that changes that make money are all about technique.

Well, I’m here to tell you that frame of thought couldn’t be further from the truth.

The change that makes money is more internal.

It’s more about your mindset, about your character. Here is another picture of a few of my friends.. it was a few years ago.. yet we’ve known each other since we were like 12 years old.. lol..

Every Change Is Worth It When It Makes Money And Brings Indescribable Joy!

After a life of many smiles.. many tears.. many changes.. many sacrifices.. and many New understandings..

There comes that moment when you can not take your past experiences for granted.

Are they always bad?

No!

They were awesome, yet some didn’t always end so well.

For me, I personally have two lovely girls yet I still live a single life.

Do I credit that from making poor decisions in my past?

That is a hard one to answer, because honestly if I was placed in the same situation again, knowing that it would end up like this..

I would do it exactly the same way!

Yet I live in the now!!

I live for a better tomorrow, and I made my decisions based on who I am.. no apologies, no regrets.

Only Joy.. See today.. I’m a stay at home single mom!

Yes single.. yet I love my life..

I love me..

and I love those around me.

I’ve been in relationships where I felt like crap and didn’t have any joy!!

So I rather stand where I am now..

The pictures below show what the sacrifices have lead to… me speaking in on a major radio station in Atlanta about being a single mom.. crazy fun.. smilingmakes money

To me traveling all over the US to events with business partners that live a truth like me..

To speaking to a room of around 1500 people on how change makes money when you add blogging and the way I did it!!

When I tell you I would have never imagined my life would be what it is today!

Yet you are thinking Shalonda why write this now!

Well, I had another experience today.. where I had to give up something that I honestly WANT!

Yet, experience shows me that there are certain things simply not meant for me!

And I have to be okay with that.

See through all this change I’ve realized one very important thing!!

I’m grateful, and I’m okay with where I am.. and I also know that the best is yet to come!!

I’m writing this NOW!!

Because someone needs to know that no matter what it seems like you are giving up.. there is so much more for you!!

And honestly it may feel like you are giving something up..

Yet if it is meant for you..

It will still be there when the time is right, so never feel like you are giving something up.. you are only making room for it to be better when the time comes!!

You are so easy to love, so Keep Smiling

Tremendous Faith That Changes How I Believe

By 6 Comments

faith

Faith That Moves Mountains

Is there room for Faith in your business?

Well, if you haven’t asked yourself this question, you should.

Do you honestly have “Faith” that your business will succeed?

Well let’s start with the definition of Faith.

Webster dictionary states that Faith is a firm belief in something for which there is no proof and something that is believed especially with strong conviction.

The Holy Bible states that Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

Now back to the initial question. Is there room for Faith in your business?

Absolutely, you really can’t have a successful business without faith.

Many times we run into our business with one focus… the “payday”.

We follow the steps given to us, rather right or wrong in hopes of that “payday”.

Now, your “payday” may be a vacation for your family, it may be a physical check, it may be a desire to belong… either way whatever the “payday”.. we run toward it with blinders.

Then that day comes along when everything that can go right doesn’t, and everything that can go wrong does.

You are stuck in a position when you have to decide rather that “payday” is worth the trouble.

You have to decide rather you are going to continue on this uncomfortable journey for a “payday” that you have never seen.

That “payday” that you don’t even know exist. All of a sudden a need for faith has peaked in your business.

When Faith In Business Is All You Are Missing The Change Is Clear

Faith is so important in business that Napoleon Hill dedicated Step 2 in Think and Grow Rich to Faith.

Mr. Hill stated that, “Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!”

Once you decided to go into business, you basically made a decision to believe in something that did not yet exist.

You had the Faith to push forward. Sometimes we are side tracked and we forget that our Faith can take us through any situation.

Even Napoleon Hill points out that without Faith you have basically skipped a VERY important step in finding success in your business.

Now that you know Faith is necessary in order to have success in business, how much Faith do you have?

In Matthew 17:20 Jesus stated,

“if you have Faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Now that is powerful.

The Ability To Build Powerful Faith In Your Life And Business Will Change You And How You Deal With Everything Around You.

 

Each day I wake up and begin my day knowing that my Faith will take me to the next step of success in my business.

I’m reminded daily of the reasons why I’m building a business.

Why I’m a business owner.

Why I do not have to clock in to a boss each day.

How am I reminded, you may ask..

Well, I have a list written out that states about 15 reasons why I am in business for myself.

I add to it every time I cross an accomplishment off of it.

All of the items listed are things that are “unseen”.

Yet, as I cross items off I’m reminded that there was once a day when I could not see those items.

faith in business

 

If you find yourself getting stuck and not able to overcome an obstacle that makes it appear as though the things you are having Faith for are too hard to attain, simply complete the faith assignment below.

Faith Assignment:

1. Write out a list of everything you are having faith for

2. Make the List DETAILED

3. Included EVERYTHING on this list.. from the biggest thing to the smallest thing. The thing you have the hardest to have faith with..to the thing.. you know will happen.

4. Keep this list in a place where you can look at it everyday.  (Not to discourage you of what has not happened.. yet to motivate you about what WILL happen.)

5. Cross off items as they manifest.

6. Leave a comment here telling a few things you are manifesting through faith.

Remember without Faith you would not have made it this far, so hold on to your Faith to reach the top of the next mountain.

Stunning Truth About What Happens When You Let Go Of The Rope

By 5 Comments

Let Go Of the Rope!

How many times have you heard this phrase..if ever? Well I have heard it many times, and honestly I have let go of the rope many many times.

Sometimes I wonder how I’m actually visible with all the times I’ve let go of the rope.

See it is really easy to see somebody else holding on for dear life to a state of mind, an idea, a misunderstanding, or simply holding on to lack of understanding.

Yet we have to take time to look in the mirror and see where in our lives we need to let go of the rope.

I just recently Let Go Of The Rope and it felt like the picture below…

let go of the rope

I felt FREE..

and then I thought WHAT DID I JUST DO!!!

Yet ultimately..

there was no going back.. can’t fly..

so I just went with it..

and honestly I have never felt so FREE in my life..

Is it your time to let go of the rope?

What do I mean when I say let go of the rope?

Is fear holding you trapped in your current circumstances?

If so..

Let Go Of The Rope!

Are you in a job where you have exhausted all of the areas available for growth, and you know that you are far from finish growing?

If so.. Let Go Of The Rope! Are you in a relationship that you know is not healthy for you? If so.. Let Go Of The Rope!

Yes.. you may have Let Go Of The Rope before.. no one said there was just one rope..

I realized this time around that I have let go of many ropes before.. and you know what.. that is okay.

If you have let go of ropes before then remember the Freedom on the other side of that thing. Focus on the end game.

Focus on the joy of knowing that you are strong enough to step into your FREEDOM.

See many of us are tied down by choice.

Yet I know you reading this post are not one of those.

Many are too afraid to step into their destiny..

I know that is not you.

Many will not have the strength to simply Let Go Of The Rope and will continue in the cycle that they are currently in..

I know that is not you.

You have power, you have great things to accomplish, you have people whose lives will not change until you decide to Let Go Of The Rope.

 

Keep Smiling,

Shalonda Gordon
