Monday Motivation Series

#motivation, Blogging, Uncategorized

Welcome to Part Three of my Monday Motivation Series.

How have you liked or disliked it so far? I would love your feedback, so please leave me a star or comment.

Today I wanted to take you back to an article I wrote a few years ago titled Move That Mountain That Is In Front Of You. There’s one portion that talks about what it takes to keep motivated.

“We must take the time to prepare our minds for success. Be willing to attend training, conventions, webinars, podcasts, skyping, and so forth.
Developing the skills necessary to become successful doesn’t happen overnight”.

Finding the time to develop the necessary skills can feel overwhelming in itself. Working a full-time or part-time job, raising a family, appointments, etc, hardly leaves a person time to do anything for themselves.

I’ve found that I must make the time to keep my interest up with things to motivate myself.

Using a motivational planner might aid with keeping track of projects, time management and more.

Amazon Motivational Planner is a good tool to use. They have many to choose from.

I’m not perfect and I’ve let myself down in this area to keep myself motivated. I promise from here on out to do better and make a commitment to do one activity a day to move into gaining success.

I Just Have No Motivation

Blogging, Burnout, Uncategorized

I just have no motivation lately when it comes to blogging. Just look at my last posting. It was back on November 21, 2021.

Who does this if they’re really serious? I want to write. Really I do.

However it’s coming up with interesting content to keep people interested.

I have been following different things in the news, and keep certain things on my Telegram channel. My channel is geared towards Political, Truth, Q, Anon and all things Quantum.

Is this why I haven’t been writing here?

It could be. I apologize to my readers for not being here routinely.

Leave a comment please on what you want to read more of.

5 Daily Methods Of Operation

If you’re and entrepreneur then you probably already have a DMO  (Daily Method Of Operation ). Every successful person either in business, or entrepreneurship tells me they us a daily method of operations.

Five  things I found to be very effective and they are easy enough that anyone can use them.  These simple steps will help you to obtain the level of success once you apply them into your daily routine.

Personal Development —  Having a POSITIVE mental attitude changes the way we think as a leader or an entrepreneur;  which in turn leads to change for success. With so many ways to grab information no one can make the excuse that they don’t have time to do this.

Meditation and Exercise —  Spend at least 15 minutes a day meditating on scriptures,  a quick go to encouragement pocket book.  Exercise daily to increase your body,mind and spirit. Exercising opens up the mind and make entrepreneurs get their creative juices flowing. Personally I find Pilates very relaxing and it works my abs off.

Sharing  — Share your business opportunity with at least 10 new people or at the bare minimum 5 people to start building relationships and trust with. Make this a quick less than 2 minute introduction and ask them if they’re interested in watch a video,  listening to a CD, Podcast or by whatever tools you can get in front of them within the a few days.

Creating Content  —  Create content people will want to read, look at and become interested in.  Social media can work to your advantage.   Learn how to leverage the time you spend on Facebook,  Twitter, Instagram, Google+,  LinkedIn and whatever other social outlet you’re using.

The Artistic Affilate otherwise known as Lesly Federici, RN has many helpful tips for creating content. In her article titled, 5 Creative Ways to Keep Visitors Coming Back she shares many ways to make visitors “think outside the box”. Landing pages, funnels, custom side bars and widgets to name a few.

Sales and Marketing Training  —  Essential to any business growth is marketing and sales.   Sales equals income in the pocketbook! ! Marketing drives interest and curiosity which leads to SALES!

The road to success takes time and it takes one step at a time to achieve the end result.

Intellifluence A New Way To Connect Your Businesses With Consumers

#bloggers, A BETTER LIFE, Blogging, Connecting, Connections, HomeBusiness, Influence, Intellfluence

**This post may contain affiliate links. In the event of a sale, I get rewarded a small commission, at no extra cost to you. These funds help me keep my blog up and running to provide you with great content so thank you!**

Intellifluence is an easy way to build relationships and increase your blog, or company’s awareness and sales.

A few months ago I was web surfing for “work from home” opportunities and came across this new website opportunity called Intellifluence. After doing my due diligence, I signed up. Companies are always looking for people to review their products and share them with the masses. The internet has changed the way businesses market their products.

How Does It Work?

Using their platform allows your company to communicate directly with interested consumers, acting as the influencer. Most of the companies using this website are small businesses. With the bottom lines being right it makes marketing products even more of a challenge. Their pricing is reasonable with many options. One can cancel at any time without a penalty.

What Companies Work With Intellifluence?

All kinds of companies from Newair, Reedsy, and Simply Earth, to name a few. Any company that needs a little help to announce new products or opportunities should jump on board.

Becoming An Influencer

Once the decision is made to become an influencer click the join button and get started. I’ve made it easy for you by clicking my intellifluence link.

Once you join, you can earn badges to help promote yourself.

Getting Free Stuff and Getting Paid

What? Did I really just read that? Yes, yes you did. The beauty of signing up is some of the free sample items, money, and keeping what a collaborator pays for.

As a blogger, certain companies pitch their ideas along with the payment amount. Should you accept my advice, set up a Zelle Pay or a Venmo account for receiving payments. It’s better to be secure when it comes to your money.

Yes, I have made a few dollars and will continue my journey as an influencer. Whatever your decision I wish you all the success.

When God Pushes Us

Blogging, Catching, Jesus, Uncategorized

My favorite quote of all time is also my lifes motto.

“When God Pushes You To The Edge Of Difficulty Trust Him Fully Because Two Things Can Happen. Either He’ll Catch You When You Fall, Or Teach You How To Fly”!

Life is filled with a road of difficulties. It’s how we choose to get through them makes all the difference.

Can we really feel it when God is pushing us? Pushing us towards becoming a better person, better boss, having increased financial means, better health and so on?

Ephesians 3:20 says “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us“.

How To Know When God Is Pushing

There are many different ways he reveals himself and his plan to ans for us.

Pastor Jack Wellman from Faith In The News wrote an article titled, 7 Signs God Is Pushing You.

The keypoints to take away would be

◼ Correction – God is always finding ways to correct our view points, thoughts and plans.

◼ Direction – When we look towards him and listen he will always guide us in the right direction.

◼ Inspection – We must look inside ourselves and find out what is driving us at that particular moment, in this situation we are experiancing.

I suggest as a follower of my writings you take the time to read his article.

How Do I Know He Will Catch Me?

Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Psalm 118:13-14 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

If we feel like we are falling God’s word promises us that he WILL always make a way for us. He will always be there for us.

Sometimes I find myself falling and he catches me with his arms of strength. Other times I stumble and fly aroud looking for a solution to the problem without trusting the one who loves me the most.

After I finally land my feet on the ground, it is then I realize my eyes and trust were not focused on Jesus.

Will you let God catch you?
