Are you frustrated because,

…you know what you have to offer the world will impact and change lives, but you aren’t sure how to design a profitable business around it?

 

…there are so many online ways to market your services but you don’t know where to start or they don’t feel authentic to you and what you are offering?

 

…you know deep inside your purpose is bigger than you, but limiting beliefs and fear of becoming visible stops you from taking action to promote your services or products?


As a purpose-inspired entrepreneur, I know how you feel. 

 

I always knew I was destined to make a global impact that empowered women to be free to pursue their deepest dreams, but I wasn’t getting the results I expected after learning everything I needed to know about internet marketing and sales. 

 

I struggled with marketing my message in a way that felt authentic to who I was, and expressing the value of what I had to offer in a clear and concise way.

 

Regardless of where you are on your entrepreneurial journey, you need to discover your unique voice as you stand out from the crowd with a powerful, authentic message & business that expresses your true value.


Here are a few things you can do today:


You can start by connecting the dots between your talents, strengths, mission, vision and actions.  When you are clear on your mission it is much easier to design and market a wildly successful and abundantly profitable business you love as a purpose-inspired entrepreneur who wants to make a real difference in the world.


Choose to lead with excellence as you tap into your own unique methods and solutions for helping your clients.
  No one likes a copy cat.  When you begin to realize your unique contribution as a leader and expert in your field it will automatically increase your visibility and influence.  Speak on what you know and don’t try to do too many things at once.  Become really good at one thing and your message will spread like wildfire.


Stop hiding behind your business, and reveal the value of YOU, authentically expressed through personalized marketing strategies aligned with your vision and what your clients want.  Discover the Business of YOU and your unique purpose. 

 

When you know who you were designed to be and begin to align your business with your unique purpose & mission, you become empowered to change lives as you connect to a larger vision that can change your world in beautiful and significant ways. 


When you change YOUR world, you lead by example and begin to change THE world, one life at a time.

Is it time to shake up your world a bit?  It might be time to choose something different, or at least shift your perspective about success, love, and life.  If something’s not working for you it’s time to change.

 

Change is positive.   Change is exciting.  Change is necessary.  It is good for your mind, business, relationships, and your soul.  When you embrace change, you can step into your life in a more fluid way, less rigid, and bring forth something better in the world for you and those around you.

 

Here are four things you can do to create more success, abundance, money, and joy in your business and life:

 

Choose to Dream.  It can be risky, and yes, it’s a choice to dream.  So many times we find ourselves just ‘going with the flow’ and becoming complacent in our lives.  We get comfortable, or perhaps choosing not to ruffle feathers and just wanting to keep the peace at all cost.  We lose sight of the dreams we once had for our lives and, if we’re honest, may even realize we are living someone else’s dream.  Risk to dream and see what begins to unfold for you.

Most passionate, socially conscious women entrepreneurs go into business because they want to help others and earn a great living doing what they love.

When women business owners are successful, they use that success to help those around them.
Unfortunately, many passion-driven, mission-centered women business owners find themselves under-earning and struggling to serve the clients and customers they are meant to serve.

Women-owned businesses typically struggle to generate enough profits to actually make a difference. In the grand scheme of things, unprofitable businesses really don't matter very much.


If your cashflow is low, it's nearly impossible to give back to others and make a massive impact in the world.

According to the US Economics and Statistics Administration, the average sales generated by women-owned businesses is only 25% of the average sales generated by men-owned businesses and self-employed women typically earn 55% of what self-employed men earn.


As a woman entrepreneur, in order to create powerful change in your life, in your community, and in the world around you, you must increase your profits and your impact!

That's why I've joined forces with 17 powerful mission-centered women entrepreneurs to walk you step-by-step through each stage of creating a profitable and sustainable business that matters during the BrightFire Profits and Impact Virtual Intensive--January 14, 2013 through January 18, 2013.

Dream Big!  Dreams Inspired by God, Empowered by the Holy Spirit

Do you remember the hopes and dreams you had when you were younger?  Do you feel that some of those dreams have slipped away and it’s too late to pursue something your heart has longed for?

It’s not too late.  Don’t ever give up on your dream’s.  You may have to take those dreams off the shelf and dust them off a little, but God is still on the throne, and He is waiting for you to Dream Big!  If you’re not sure whether God has given you a big dream to walk out with your life purpose, read on.

God gives you your big life purpose dreams in a variety of ways.  Abundant dreams.  Big Dreams.  The God of the Universe, who created all things beautiful, would like nothing better than to see you dream big.   He wants to see you take your life dreams from ordinary to extraordinary.  Don’t settle for anything less!

Here are three ways that God might choose to give you a sneak peek into your dreams or desires*:

Perseverance- Defending the Dream to get your Breakthrough Part I

We all have dreams of doing great things for the kingdom and each of our individual dreams, or Life Purpose, matter.

In order to fulfill the plans and purposes of God, I believe that we each need to discover our own individual kingdom purpose and dreams because they are all connected to God’s master plan for us as a body of Christ followers.

We need to be intentional about finding and living out our purpose, and never give up. 


From my own experience it is easy to give up and grow weary of the battle, but that is exactly what the enemy wants from us because he knows we are close to our breakthrough.  I’m not giving up and neither should you!
