Gifts & Talents
In life and business is there a difference between gifts and talents? My answer is YES. Gifts are given to us from God. Gifts come without thought and with very little effort in most cases. We are born with our gifts. Those gifts should be used in our business. Talents are a bit different and we can learn to be good at a particular thing or two. Don't mistake [...]
Maintenance
Maintaining a business is oftentimes more difficult than starting a business. Maintenance is required on homes, cars, and relationships. Guess what... maintenance is also required for a business. Your business will need a tune-up from time to time and new plays to remain competitive. Maintenance also requires fresh eyes. When you have fresh eyes they are able to see what is missing or going wrong much faster than the [...]

To hate is to be in bondage. When you have the spirit of hate it will prohibit you from your greater. There is no room for hate when you are progressing. There is no room for hate when you are gathering your flock preparing to fly higher. There is no space for bondage in your journey. RELEASE it. To be truly free there can be no hate in your [...]

Who’s The Boss?
Are you a boss? This question is easy for most of us to answer because we are natural leaders. However, I will say this, a boss knows when to listen, when to speak, and when to follow. Being a boss is not all about being the leader in every movement. A real boss knows when to lead and when to follow. A real boss knows and understands that they [...]
Fear
The spirit of fear will cause you to stay still when it’s your season to move and shift. Fear is not of God but yet the opposed. Never allow fear to stop you from the next step. Each step in the process matters. Each step has its own unique season. REPLACE the spirit of fear with the spirit of a fighting lioness who has to provide food for [...]

DESIRE is the pit of FIRE in your stomach that will not allow you to GIVE UP. WHAT [...]
