Strategic Thinking And A Thoughtful Plan
Building success in any arena starts with strategic thinking and thoughtful plan. What’s your plan to succeed? I’ve worked in the corporate world for 20 plus years, making other companies rich, nothing wrong with that everything has its place. But, in 2007 I had a shift in my thoughts.
Where are my riches and my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? I’d desired to be in business for myself but never by myself. My fifth birthday was a few years away, but the number (50) seems to always pop in my head. I didn’t have time to waste on anything that was meaningless in life it had to go. So it started with my job, I was doing what I loved which was working and helping students achieve success but it was in the wrong environment. My focused changed and I found my rhythm. I love music, and music loves me. I tell you more about that in tomorrow’s blog.
Know this, when you start saying the right words and lining yourself up with your purpose the wrong people will start leaving your life. Oh it’s great to get your second win, you’re thinking becomes so clear and you will be begin to connect with people who are aligned with your purpose but you’ll have to put yourself out there. As I begin to align myself with the vision God had shown me. The man I was dating didn’t fit anything I was working toward if I went left, he went right. If I went right he went left. I had empowering the masses with my gift of Gab and music on my mind. I lived in a Condo in the city, (Mr) wanted to move to the suburban’s two hours outside of Los Angeles, too far for anything I was working on. With one adult son well on his way I had my focus, (Mr) had twin’s girls to rise with plenty of baby mama drama after I showed up of course...smile No, thank you!
I’m 51 years young and at this stage of my life the stakes are higher. I have no time to waste and neither do you. Stop wasting time presuming travails things that don’t matter and will not work in the long run. I left decades of misaligning thinking behind. In your 40's everything looks different, feels different you become clear in many area of your life. In my 50's I'm precise in my thinking embracing all the wisdom I’d learned from personal and professional missteps.
If you can build a solid foundation and survive now, you will thrive later. Here are a few points to get started. Think big, Do the unconventional, believe in yourself and your ideas. Share your vision, Execute and never give-up. That’s was five years ago and I’ve never looks back.

MAKE A MEMORABLE IMPRESSION
GRABBING THE SPOTLIGHT doesn’t come naturally for everyone, but as an entrepreneur, you can’t afford to waste any opportunity that comes your way to tell people who you are and what you do. I want to share some tips on how to make a memorable impression.
Spotlight your strengths, and be the best at what you do. Always hand-out your business card and accept one in return. Why is it important to step into the spotlight? No one will know who you are if you don’t speak up.
How do you stand out from the crowd? Approach it from a show-business point of view. Be your own casting director and decide what role you want to play in the marketplace.
Which audience do you want to attach? A good example of this is Mac vs. PC. Mac has made a decision about who they’re going for: young, hip customers. (Ask yourself,) what does my character look like, sound like. Decide what you want to be known for. It’s important for entrepreneurs to find their story, and tell their stories. Make it colorful and authentic this has work for me. Most people are afraid to standout. Now is your time to shine so step into the spotlight.
