You left college, university with high hopes… You knew you were called to change the world! I mean, everyone said it to you! You were up to big things… The local spiritual guide would come up to you randomly and remind you of your destiny… Your lecturers, teachers, everyone could see greatness in you…
You must be able to create a lot of content in a short space of time if you want to generate a lot of traffic to your site. Traffic equals eyeballs on your products, services and it does tend to lead to more sales and more people to pixel so that you can remarket to them time and time again until they choose to take the next step with you. How do you do it though? It is not always the easiest thing to be prolific in content creation so here are a few ideas to help you meet your business goals. 1. Get into a creative state of mind
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Copy-of-Copy-of-building-a-business-21.png" width="500"/> Do you feel somewhat unhappy? Even though you kinda know that you should be happy… Things are okay enough but something is missing for you, isn’t it? The excitement, the thrill, the joy of knowing that you are living your real life… And do you know why you are not really living? You are spending way too long telling yourself that you don’t need what you do need… You need alone time in the bucket loads…
Do you ever feel like you are just not really getting the real you out? Like there is something just beneath the surface that wants to be unleashed but you have all these holdbacks that tell you to tame it, to hide it, to be like everyone else? You feel that power in the loins and it needs somewhere to go…
They said I was lazy and I suppose I was… I did not want to cook, to clean and do all that boring stuff that a ‘woman’ was supposed to know how to do… I took it to heart… I made it mean something because I did not suit them… It hurt because I let it hurt… I forgot that I was me…
I can see you… I can hear you… Your silence speaks so loud… You want so much more than this… You have such great ideas inside of you and yet, you think that no one will care. And so, you keep them hidden inside. You downplay you all the time. You do what is expected and yet, you crave more, so much more!
I know you think this is about me! But it is not! It is completely about you! Why? Because I am appalled, APPALLED at how we the Spirit-Driven can act so weak about what we want out of this life!
You are a hidden warrior… You have always had a shield about you… Covering up the person you really are… Wanting that approval from people who want you to play a lot smaller than you want to. And you have given in, and hidden parts of you because it was easier… It helped you get along with people…
So, I woke up to a negative email from someone…
You, leader, have to take full responsibility for everything that happens to you. You know it but you kinda don’t know it… I know it but every so often, I forget and try to leave responsibility at someone else’s door… It never works… Things just get worse…
Man, sex is such a beautiful thing… Such a pleasurable feeling… Such a powerful sensation… And most leaders, especially the more spiritual types (or maybe I should say, religious types), do not speak of it… Well, in most cases, they do not speak of it because they are not having amazing sex…
This is an excerpt from The launch book and bootcamp which is currently being written and held within the Facebook group (Facebook.com/groups/stepuplead) ########################################### “Remember success is literally a habit…
You may already make more than an average of $300 a day… Or you may not make anywhere near that amount… Either way, it ain’t fun! Money itself, the lack of or the abundance of it, does not determine whether you have fun and enjoy life… Because money itself is not alive! I know you know it and yet, looking at your life…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Copy-of-Copy-of-building-a-business-17.png" width="500"/> You long to be free… Free from the shackles of a life that is okay but not quite what you want. You kinda know what you want but you are scared that it is too big… Or it is impossible for you… Or you are simply scared that you have invested so much time and energy following the rules and conventions of a normal life and now, you don’t like what you have created and so you may have to start again. That scares you.
You have been dithering and procrastinating for a while about this decision… Wondering if you are giving up too soon… Wondering if you are throwing in the towel like a little whiney bitch… Wondering if this will make you a quitter… And you do not want to be a quitter… You used to be one…
Once upon a time, I wanted a particular internship. I wanted it desperately. I thought it was my ticket to a whole new life and so I asked God to give it to me. I held on to a particular passage in the best book ever - Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart!
You are running faster to stand stiller… The fear still chases you… But fear never leads anywhere good… It makes you feel busy… oh so busy… But definitely not wealthier… Definitely not happier… So, leader, what is the point? What is the point of reacting so much to the fear?
Sometimes, we get so focused on the practical sides of running a business and that is absolutely right and fair that you do that but this is the thing… If your brain is set to always believe that things are going to be a struggle, then who is to say that you are not creating the struggle with your actions as well. There are two parts to every successful person’s success
You have been waiting for something new to come… You have felt stuck in place doing the same old, same old that you had thought you had to do… But I am here to tell you that the NEW IS HERE! IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP… You no longer have to live in fear of communication…
You feel tense, anxious, fed up with the struggle… Year upon year, the struggle remains and you wonder when you will be free… And you will be free as soon as you choose to do the work to be free!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Copy-of-building-a-business-153.png" width="500"/> Hey! Pay attention to these words, listen to what I am saying… Stop reacting! Stop allowing someone else’s action determine who you be today… Stop looking around in fear, worried that your world is coming to an end because of the actions of anyone… Stop reacting with all the other reactors… Relax. Go within! See what causes you to react. See the mirror reflection within you… See what is being triggered… And love on yourself…
This is the thing, honey, for the longest time, people have told you that there is something wrong with you. They have told you that your big ideas are just toooo big for little old you and they have tried ever so hard to get you to live like they live. And for the most part, you went along with it.
You think it is the lack of sales - No, this is a symptom… You think it is the lack of a great strategy - So, you go looking for the best-est tip/trick/technique you can find and that is such a time suck because it keeps you from actually doing the work…
For goodness sake, leader! Just fucking allow yourself to want what you want… Stop making it mean you are greedy… Stop making it mean you are shallow… Stop making it mean anything other than the fact that you are capable of so much more… And why the heck not go after it all?
This morning, I woke up, got out of bed and then proceeded to laze about a little on the couch as I jou alled… I was having one of those mornings where I just wanted to chill out and doze off and just play it down but I felt the call of Spirit to remember who I was… THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
It can be very interesting being both spiritual and an entrepreneur, especially if your spirituality is actually linked with a religion with all its rules and regulations and traditions. You get so convinced that there is only one way to do things…
Some days, it feels really, REALLY tough to keep building your business. No one seems to care about what you have to offer and you are trying and trying to get them to pay you some attention but NOTHING is working. You release a program that people asked for but they do not buy... You source a new product that you thought people would absolutely adore and again, nothing... You try to get an ad past Facebook but it refuses to approve it and you start to fear that you will lose your account... Your friends and family do not understand why you are working so hard all the time...r
<img src="http://i1.wp.com/rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/building-a-business-39.jpg?w=1200" width="500" /> Imagine the scene… A street artist drawing, painting, scene after scene of people living life… Normally these pictures are still-life – A depiction of life with no life in them but this time, as you walk round looking at these pictures, they seem to come alive. Men, women in all walks of life going about their business in each of these pictures on the sidewalk.
Yesterday, I had friends round and it was lovely to hang out… Not many are let into my inner crazy but these are because they get it more than most… They get the push, the need to be all we are created to be… Now that does not mean we agree on everything but it means I can just be… I can say what I say, we can discuss it…
You have something to say but you think and think and think yourself out of it because you are scared about how it will be received… The message you have for today does not seem politically correct enough… You worry that people will hate you for saying it… Your friends will be shocked that you said that out loud…
Hey you! Yes you! You, the one with the big ideas… You the one who knows that you are called to do something great… You the one with a BIG, HUGE story of triumph and winning over all the odds… You who knows that you have something to offer people who are currently in the same place you used to be.
I used to think that the inner cravings inside of me had to be tamed in order for me to be accepted by God and man.
Man, my money story used to be one of disaster… It used to be one of getting so far, thinking everything was alright and then realising that everything was going down the tubes again… I thought that was going to be my story forever…
Some people live their whole life trying to appease people who currently don’t like them or could potentially not like them… What do I mean? Some people, maybe even you, live a less extravagant life just in case you make people think that you are too much…
The Spiritual Entrepreneur is a maverick… At least the successful ones are! You may learn the foundational knowledge that other trainers and successful business owners teach you but when it comes down to it, you go your own way. You have the courage to find your own path and stay on course until your heart’s desires are materialized.
Your focus is too much on the here and now… And so how can you create the wealth and riches you want while all you see is the debt and struggle of today?
It is scary and exhilarating to see how much power people have over their own financial futures…
For most of my life, I have felt like an outsider… I was a little bit too white (and still am) to understand and live to the ‘rules’ of my Black African family… And I am obviously too black to be considered white… I have always wanted more than the regular person and I have always believed that the ‘seemingly impossible’ is possible! I have been accused of wanting too much, trying too hard and being too intense… And for long periods of time, I believed this… I tried hard to fit in, to believe what ‘they’ told me to believe… To do what ‘they’ said had to be done…
Most of the time when I ask people what their challenges are, they come back and tell me it is a lack of money, a lack of finance, a lack of the green stuff that makes the world go round… And I listen to them and depending on what stage we are in our relationship because some people just do not want to hear the truth, I tell them that money has absolutely nothing to do with whether they succeed in business or not. After all, which successful entrepreneur started any business with a lot of their own money?! NO ONE!
The darkness is real… In this entrepreneurial journey, there will be times when you sink so low, you wonder if you will ever come back up for air… There will be times that you wish you did not care so much…
I used to think I was proud and horrible for wanting to follow my heart. The training I received at church at the time, seemed to always suggest that I had to lay down my gifts and talents and all the stuff I actually wanted to do, in order to figure out what God wanted me to do and to follow his will. Never did it occur to me that I had been gifted in a particular way for a reason. And that reason was to use it! Use all my strengths, my gifts, my talents to create a life I adored , rather than continually try to force myself into a career, a business, a life that did not suit me.r
I am obsessed with more, you know? More impact, more income, more connection to Spirit, more awesome sex, more wisdom, more understanding of human nature, more Knowledge, more overall success, more closeness with my hubby and children, more, more, MORE!! I literally want it all!
Man!!! When last were you just ‘YOU’? When last did you let yourself express your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own individual personality?
Leader, leader, LEADER! I see you doing this thing again where you forget that you are leader… Where you forget that there is no push button strategy that will completely show you in your glory… Where you forget to put your energy and power into delivering the truth of you… Because you got afraid…
So, you have distilled out your purpose… You know what you want your life to stand for and to be about… And now you are all excited… All those years of the fog are behind you! You are on path!
Do you ever do this thing where you keep holding back on doing the thing you are great at, while staring at the thing you think you want to be good at? Let me try to explain…
You know what… I am not your regular business coach that is only going to talk to you about numbers and statistics and conversion rates and all that… Important stuff for sure, kinda but only relevant when you are showing up and doing the work consistently… And right now, you are not. You say you are…
A few days ago, I was at a Christian Woman’s Conference. I was the keynote speaker there and as I love to talk, it went incredibly well and I adored every minute of it. I got to speak with amazing people as well to help them come up with ideas for moving forward. It was great. However, the thing that I also recognised was tribal thinking…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Copy-of-building-a-business-15.png" width="500"> Hey you, spiritual entrepreneurs… I am speaking to you… And to anyone willing to listen… How has worry ever helped you? How has it made anything any better? Has it grown your bank balance? Has it made your body heal? Has it gotten you more love in your life? Has it done anything useful? Can you pinpoint any good thing in your life that has come from worry? No? Then why persist in it? Why continually choose to worry?
