You've attended that goal setting class and you've learnt how to set smart goals but you are still stuck. You want to get unstuck and move to your next level. You've learnt what it takes to grow your business, get more sales, more clients, or more readers for your blog, but there's no traction.
In this webinar, you will:
Discover the 7 things that are keeping you stuck: These are the seven things you need to work on at each level of your success. So no matter where you are now, as you move to the next level, you have to work on these 7 things to reach the next level.

Why Intentions Matter
1. You will stop giving in to excuses. You will stop blaming your circumstances, others, society and the government for that issue or problem. Think of the last time you gave an excuse, or the one area where you're still giving excuses and placing blame. Could it be you have not been intentional in that area?
2. You will actually get something done. You will actually accomplish something. You will become better. You will finally get results. What you write down has a way of making you accountable and helps you take action.
3. You will become aware of opportunities and they will stop passing you by. Once you are intentional about something, the resources to get it done will start showing up. Not because they weren't there before but because you are now aware.
4. You actually get to fix a problem before it happens. You become more proactive. You will stop living in reactive mode.
I challenge you to be intentional about your life, business, relationships, spiritual life, career, family....whatever you value, and see what a difference it makes. I am sure you want to grow, reach your God given potential, and ultimately become significant and be of value to the world. That is what success is all about. But you have to start by being intentional.

On becoming more Effective and Achieving Results
When the odds are against you, take action on what you can control and what is possible.
When there's not enough money, do what you can with what you have.
Do not allow anyone to get to you.
Do not take any offence, take a deep breath and focus on the big picture, focus on the results, focus on the end.
Be proactive and not reactive

The Truth is not in the Appearance of Things
Just a little motivation for you this Monday.
We cannot continue to trust in and believe in what is currently happening or what is the reality and settle.
Let your dreams rise above your excuses. Let your goals compel you to keep moving. Keep working on the things that will get you closer to your goal.
At a Bloggy Boot Camp conference I attended this weekend, we were asked: "What is your end game?" I ask you the same thing. We need to work from the end to the the present. Think of your end game (your dream) and work towards it. Let go of anything that is not moving you towards your goal. When you have this mindset, decision making will be easier. You begin to say no to things that don't matter and you begin to recognize opportunities that matter.
So what do you think? Do you have a dream, goal, something you are working towards? Does it seem impossible? Do you feel you've been acting based on the current reality? What would things be like if you began to think differently?
Your current logic and beliefs are creating the results you are currently getting - Paul Martinelli

What are you Waiting For?
This was the bible verse that popped into my mind this morning. I meditated on it a few minutes and was reminded of the following road blocks that keep people from moving forward, starting a venture or going for their dreams. Some are still roadblocks and excuses that I make.
- Are you still waiting for the time to be right?
- Are you still waiting for your feelings to be right?
- Are you still waiting for the other person to make the first move or apologize?
- Are you still waiting for those involved to get their act together and behave?
- Are you still waiting for the economy to get better?
But you may say I've never done that before. There's a first time for everything. Go as far as you can see. When you get there, you'll see farther (Zig Ziglar). Take the first steps. When you do, the next thing you're supposed to do will become clearer.
As I've been building my business, a lot of things I know now and I'm doing now, I never knew or could do before. I'm discovering new things and my level of awareness has increased. If I had waited to know all those things in the beginning, I would have been in the same spot still. When the opportunity you are looking for finally comes, it may be too late to prepare but when you prepare and step out, then you will actually recognize opportunities and be able to seize them and move closer to your goals.
I thought I didn't have the money to invest in my business but once I took the first step and had a goal, my spending habits changed. I stopped buying shoes and invested in my business instead. So, changing your mindset and having a greater purpose will help you find the resources which you thought you never had.

Will there be problems along the way? Yes, but instead of letting the problems paralyze you, work on them, solve them, think of ways you can overcome them (the answer is within you by the way) and move on and reach those goals.
You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great. - Zig Ziglar.
So what are you waiting for? What do you need to start today?

Summer Suit and my 9 to 5
We had an event at my job this week and we were told to be in business casual attire. I took it up a notch by making it a business attire. I swapped the jacket that came with the suit with a short sleeved one.
I'm joining the #9to5 Total Social link up with Helene in Between this month to share my day job with you. It's amazing how we call it "day" job and not just " job". Many women today are juggling their real jobs with more creative and fulfilling endeavors. Not to talk of motherhood and everything else. So, I work as a project engineer / manager during the day and I blog, sell Avon and a soon to be consulting business in-between and at night. At my day job, I manage multiple testing projects that come through the door.
I carry this big bag because I take my business everywhere with me....planner, books, notebooks, Avon brochures, phone, iPad and so on...I'm hoping my side hustle becomes my main hustle soon.
What's your 9 to 5 or "day job"? Because I know you do something on the side too.

Summer Reading for the Small Business Owner
I'm joining my kids and making a summer reading list for myself. I must admit that my kids read more than I do. My daughter once accused me of not seeing me with a book. I do read occasionally and listen to books but not as much as I should so I'm getting back on track starting now.
Here's what on my list for growing my life, my businesses and my blog. Developing yourself by learning takes you further in life and grows your business. I am currently reading no. 4. for business and No. 1 at the same time. Let me tell you, #Girlboss is the book to read. It's such an easy read if you can get past some of the swearing (don't know why swearing is creeping into the business world these days) and you will learn a lot.
If you have read the book or plan to read it, and if you are serious about growing your business, I will be facilitating a virtual mastermind group on the key learning points in the book and we will discuss, rub minds together and hold ourselves accountable on implementing them. It will be short and sweet. Please sign up here if you are interested and I will send you more details.
You will notice that there is no fiction listed. I wish I could add one but I honestly don't have time to read fiction right now.

Red, Chambray and Khaki + a Social Media Tip
Just a quick post to show what I wore to work sometime this week. What day is it? I lose track of what day it is sometimes. I've been mighty busy trying to do a lot this week and I think I'm beginning to see some results. I'll be sharing with you soon.
I'm beginning to love Instagram a lot now ( I just got serious with it about a month ago). Instagram is where I am finding and connecting with a new set of people. You encounter different kinds of connections on different social media sites. The use of hashtags lets you quickly connect with people who share the same interests or who could be potential customers. I've also learnt that different social media sites work for different kinds of businesses/blogs. Twitter has helped a lot with my blogging, but Facebook, not so much. Focus your efforts on engaging and promoting your business/blog on the social media sites that work for you and fit your audience. Which Social media site(s) have helped your business or blog?

Friday Fives: Creativity, Lovely Quotes and Love
(I should be done by now) and I love the thoughts on creativity. I've never seen myself as a creative thinker and never thought I could learn to be creative. I thought people were just born to be creative. There are so many points which warrant a seperate post but here are a few phrases listed that kill creative thinking: I'm not a creative person, Follow the rules, Don't ask questions, Be practical, We've never done it this way before, It didn't work for them, We don't have time, We don't have the money etc. How many ideas have you killed because of these phrases?

Planning for Success with a Paper Planner
I've been a paper planner user for many many years and I've always used Franklin Covey planners. This year I wanted to try something new and purchased the Erin Condren Life Planner.
Now, a planner is not just for entering appointments. That's what your smart phone is for. It is for planning and staying organized. If you have dreams, if you have goals, if you have a desire or if you have a bucket list, I suggest getting a planner to help you reach those goals. I wanted to share how I plan for success and stay organized using the Erin Condren planner. (By the way, this post is not sponsored)
1. Here is the customized front cover. I also put the name of the new venture I'm working on as a reminder to keep working on it. Launching and growing The Growth Studio is my ultimate goal and vision for the year. By the way, I went with Erin Condren this year because I wanted something pretty.
2. This section of the planner is for writing down birthdays and anniversaries for every month. I basically remember everyone's birthday, and then there's Facebook to remind you so I use this section to keep record of my face to face Avon customers orders and payments. It is easier to write this down rather than enter it electronically somewhere. I also have a little section to list monthly expenses. Not all planners will work perfectly to suit every need so here, I customized this section accordingly.
3. I taped my 2014 bucket list on the last page of the January weekly calendar (January was almost over before I got my planner so I don't need that page any longer). It is important to have your bucket list, yearly goal or dreams front and center. It is the first thing I see when I open my planner, it is also easy to refer to because you know it is in one of the first pages. Refer to this from time to time to remind you. Here's a bible passage I love dearly "Write the vision and make it plain so that others may read it and run..."(Habakuk 2:2). If your vision is not in plain view, you may not be able to run with it (take action).
4. There's a little section on the right hand side of the monhly calendar pages for notes. On the top part I will be writing my prasie reports and what I accomplished each month and on the bottom part will be goals for the month. This will be high level goals which I get from looking at my bucket list. What would I have to do this month to get me closer to the items on my bucket list? That is what I put down for goals...See how planner is not just for appointments?
