January is a popular time to redesign your life. A clean slate. New beginnings. Fresh start. However you slice it, people have been doing this sort of thing for a long time. That’s where January comes from after all — Janus, the Roman god of gates and doorways. Anytime you see an image of Janus he has two faces, one looking back and the other looking ahead. The only problem with January is it can become more like an endless cycle than a legitimate chance to start over and get some renewal.

Your life is not controlled by circumstances; you are blessed with success. You are exceptionally filled with ability to effect great results; you make progress that is making profit for you. You are in charge! You have a mindset that is not subject to being questionable. Your appurtenances, impedimenta and paraphe alia are increasing your ability, creativity and capacity to do well and roll in money. You play by different set of rules. You create a lifestyle you could do with, you empower yourself with all you need to manifest the greatest power in the totality of physical entities.

Create your ideal lifestyle vision first. It's hard to shove your ideal lifestyle into a busy business, but if you create that vision first, you can then build your business to support it. Vision is the ability to create something wonderful in your imagination. There's a spiritual connotation to the ability to have vision. It taps into our deepest wisdom and creativity. Having clarity about your life is the most essential element of being successful.

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/20170409_140257.jpg" width="500"/> One thing you must realise is that you are not your negative thoughts... They are simply puffs of wind passing through your brain and you get a choice as to whether to hold onto them or not. I get it - You have been holding on to them for a long time now. I did that too! I remember long days of feeling down and in the dumps, unable to move forward thinking that I was doomed and stuck...

Only Certain People Can Be Successful... Often time people seem to assume that you can only be successful if you were born into money or you are overly artistic or fate has brought you success. This is an absurd belief… There are factors that contribute to success among all people that have it, which we will go over later, for now I am going to prove what I am saying to you. Think about Steve Jobs, you know, the Apple guy… Well, what you probably didn’t know was that Steve w

Social networking sites originally became popular as a way for friends to stay in touch with one another and to keep up-to-date with what was happening in their lives, but they quickly became a place for business owners to grow their networks too. These days you can use these sites as a business building tool, but, more importantly, you can get to know your prospects, clients, and colleagues in a more relaxed and friendly environment.

Let me share a secret with you that many successful online solopreneurs already know - you have to manage your business before you can market your business, and if you’ve been with me for a while you’ve no doubt heard me say this many times! So, if you can answer YES to at least ONE of these questions then you know you are not effectively managing your business: * Do you feel overwhelmed at the start of each day – you don’t know what to do first? * At the end of each day do you feel like you’ve achieved nothing, yet you’ve been ‘busy’ all day? * Do you find projects

Marketing is THE key ingredient to your business success. No matter how good you are at what you do, if nobody knows you are out there doing it, they can’t hire you. So marketing is the number one activity you can engage in to benefit your business regardless of what business you’re actually in. Think of it like this: you’re not a graphic designer; you’re a marketer of graphic design services. In a very real way, marketing is your business. There is no higher leverage activit

You're either directly responsible or overseeing all functions, and you’re overwhelmed by the details. Rather than focusing on the important you seem to fight the fires and at the end of the day you aren't sure if you've really invested your time in the best way. Long-term your time management skills will either make you or break you, so it’s time to improve those skills before it’s too late. n n When you’re solely responsible for everything in your bu

Creating business that gives you more freedom, more money and more energy isn’t about knocking out a BIGGER to-do list - it’s about prioritizing what most needs your time, attention and energy first, then doing it. Because let’s be honest, being self-employed is extremely overwhelming and it can feel concerning in terms of what to do when, how much time to focus on this task versus that task. So what can you do right now to create laser focus and expand time as you build your business from a place of joy and abundance? It starts by creating an aligned action plan.r

1. Blaze your own trail. Employee Life: Get an education in order to get a job, work tirelessly until retirement and HOPE to have a few good years left for traveling and enjoying life. Entrepreneur Life: Start with a dream, work your tail off early on to build your empire, hire, outsource, ...

Christopher Columbus is accredited with the discovery that the world is round, not flat, as can be assumed by being at any one place. It was in the same era that ideas were being strongly put forwards that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way, as was accepted and strongly defended by the authorities. These instances of improved awareness created significant changes in thinking in many areas of science and geography. Have you ever sat in a meeting, whether as a participant or observer and see it going nowhere?

Lately there has been a rash of Christians falling for this dangerous bible teaching of Post Tribulation rapture theory. The Post-Tribulation Rapture philosophy also leads to other false doctrines. Colossians 2:8 is God's warning conce ing false teachers, “Beware lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)

I listen to people telling me day in and day out about how they only want to make the money they need… And I see from their demeanour that they think that that makes them in some way, holier than everyone else out there who is out to grab everything they can get - or so they think…

Never fear: this is not a political exposé. Instead, it's a reflection on a fascinating conversation that I had with Dr. Jed Diamond last night on my internet radio program. As you may know, Dr. Jed is the author of the best-selling books, Male Menopause and The Irritable Male Syndrome. ...

Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet. What do these names mean to you? If they conjure up images of wealth and success then you are probably well aware that these men didn't get where they are by sitting on the couch all day – each one took action throughout their lives to create immense financial prosperity by creating successful companies.

You should try to set high standards for the service you provide. You need to have high-quality employees. However, you should not aim for perfection. Perfection has an alter ego: procrastination. Many times people with good ideas sit around on them, awaiting that perfect time, that perfect product, that perfect person to come along—or that perfect plan. Perfection is an illusion.

I see you with the big ideas, the big dreams, the big goals… You think about it, you talk about it… And then you go back to live out your ‘settled-for’ life because you don’t actually think that you can have everything you dream of. You think your dreams are too big…

You will have the best results in business if you create your vision first. Then you can take “inspired action” consistently and persistently. Without vision you may find yourself in the same boat as many unsuccessful business owners who dash madly from one marketing effort to another –never giving any of their strategies time to produce results –results that came from the vision. This article focuses on one important aspect of your business –who you serve. Here’s an exercis

I'll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through ...

Every person comes to this earth with a purpose. As an entrepreneur, you have the awesome opportunity to fuse your business with your purpose! Actually I would say this is a must because when you do your clients benefit (in a big way!) and so do your bottom-line profits (in a big way!). One of ...

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-How-Much-Money-Do-You-Want-.png" width="500"/> You have some money… But it never seems enough… You have ideas for things you can do to elevate your income… But you never seem to follow through… The book remains unfinished… You start to create that piece of art or music but you never complete it… You dream and think about adding that product to your line but you never quite do the work to bring it to life…

Even though social media is the darling of new media for now, email is not too far behind and is not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, many marketing experts note that email marketing is still the best way to reach and connect with your core audience. Regardless of niche. Since we are in the mobile space, we love to discuss topics of interest to others in our niche. With that in mind, if as a mobile entrepreneur, you have yet to get your feet wet with email marketing, the

Everyone starts writing a blog expecting the whole world to beat a path to their door and then after writing a blog or two, they give up because no one reads their well-researched, ‘shed-blood and tears’, posts.

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/your-dream-is-possible.png" width="500"/> You have a dream, a big dream of life being easier and more amazing than it is at the moment… You also have a doubt, a big doubt that it can never really get any better than this… And unfortunately, the doubt wins. And so you stay stuck. Wanting but fighting yourself and therefore acting as though you do not want… Life is tough when you are stuck in this place…

<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-71.jpg" /> It is so easy to get trapped into thinking that you are not going to be able to find your people because you start to see the people around you as the only options that there are… You have been pushing and striving to build your business and as great as that is, you are starting to get a small village feeling as the same faces come past you on a regular basis and you wonder where the new people are…

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Focus-on-what-shifts-the-needle.png" width="500"/> You spend too much time questioning yourself… You spend too much time wondering if what you have is good enough to help people… You wonder if your gift, your strength, your story, history, experience is even useful… You wonder if you have what it takes to go the distance… You wonder if anyone cares to hear you share your stories… You wonder if God is on your side… And honey, you are making it all about you!

Recently, I spoke with a business owner who mentioned a sales rep he had met with recently. He commented that in the few years he had known him, this sales rep had been involved with three different companies. Then this business owner paused and said, “I think I have the same tendency, myself. It’s that idea that the grass is always greener on the other side, I guess.” This tendency to macro-switchtask, to change career attention on a grand scale is something very commo

There would have being no cliometrics without the field of history, no econometrics without the field of economics, no mechatronics without the field of mechanical engineering, no microelectronics without the field of electronics engineering no jurisprudence without the field of law, no real analysis, decision analysis and model building in operational research without the field of mathematics, no globalization, societies and cultures without the field of humanities, no sustainable aviation without the field of geographical science, no ethnomusicology without music, no quality management, stat

1. GET THE POINT – OF LIFE, THAT IS. How many of us will look back in our old age and wish we'd gone to more meetings or put in more overtime. The point? Despite pressure to "play it safe" by sticking with your day job ("...but dear, you have a good job, you want to be HAPPY too?") you have ...

In conversations with clients and colleagues, the 800 pound gorilla is often the challenge of being “present.” Vital as it is to leadership and a rich full life, it is the thing that eludes many if not most of us a lot of the time. Much of what we do and how we live takes us out of the present and ricochets us into some unknown future or drags us back into the mire of the past. Other times, we simply “space out,” disconnect from where we are, who we’re with, and what we’re do

Do you know where you next paycheck is going to come from? Do you have the funds to pay the bills that are sure to come in the next mail drop off? Can you pay the suppliers and partner invoices that have arrived?

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/get-clear.-get-to-work.png" width="500"/> It is one thing to say you want to achieve financial independence and it is another thing to actually get to work making it so. It is one thing to say you want to change lives with a service, ministry, product or art, books, music and it is another thing to actually do the work to make it so.

Last Friday, I had an unsettling experience. I've been spending the past few months scouring the web, looking for places where men leave — and find — wisdom-droppings. You know what I mean by 'wisdom-droppings' don't you? They're those little sayings or stories or insights that you ...

In a newsletter of March 17, 2011, Graham Mitchell, writing in ActionSTEPS, a publication of ActionCOACH, says that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. He went on to elaborate that many times the quest to change a company’s strategy is frustrated by the company’s culture. There is much truth in that. Indeed, it is one of the reasons that very serious managers of change, especially those coming into an organization to implement change, will remove many older employees because they know that the required changes will be resisted.

The majority of guitar teachers use general guitar learning books or methods to try to teach their students. Unless you only teach beginning guitar students, you are going to face these major problems in your guitar teaching: 1. Your students won’t make a lot of progress on guitar and the progress they do make... will be very slow at best. General guitar teaching books and courses were made only to teach musical concepts, they were not made to help your students make pr

There is a special kind of camaraderie amongst entrepreneurs. It is a bit like belonging to an exclusive club, where members celebrate the freedom of business ownership. And while freedom may be the motto, only a small percentage of entrepreneurs are truly free. Instead of running their businesses, they let their businesses run them.

All things must come to an end! Microsoft is officially ending support for all laptops & desktops, as well as servers that are running off of Windows 7 & Server 2008 operating systems- and this date is here to stay! After January 14th, 2020 Windows 7 & Server 2008 will continue to run, but will no longer receive updates or support, which can mean big security risks for you and your business. eWomen Network’s Technology partner, Dell, is urging members to take a few minutes ou

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Snapchat-1508641788.jpg" width="500"/> You are conflicted, aren’t you? In the silence, you know your purpose – You have always known it! Since you were young, you knew you were called to something in particular… To impact people in a significant way… But it does not seem practical… You don’t think it will make you all that much money And you doubt yourself! You feel called to this work but you spend more time hiding away from doing the work than actually doing it!

As a coach, I know very well how important goal-setting is. Also, as a coach, I know that goals aren't all that they're often cracked up to be. As critical a competency as goal-setting is, if misused, sometimes it can have some very unfortunate consequences. I want to take some time in this ...

According to a study by Dartnell and McGraw Hill: - 80% of all sales are made only after 5 or more contacts. - 48% of all sales people give up after the 1st contact. 25% after the 2nd contact, and 17% after the 3rd or 4th contact. - In other words, 90% of the sales people give up before 80% of the sales are going to be made. Clearly, the follow-up stage in marketing is the most neglected and misunderstood stage in the marketing process.

There are 3 fundamentals to building a great salon business, and as primitive as that sounds most slip up over some of the required steps. Mostly because only a small ratio of businesses employ real building strategies, it's easy to get satisfied when we think that things are going ok and then when the economy slows ... oh no, now what are we going to do?nnIf salon owners would coordinate these basic elements into their ventures they would skip right past most of the problems

What do you consider to be the purpose of your life? Or are you one of those who are still looking for one? What if it is all your choice?! What if you could just choose something that stirs your heart and make it your purpose and COMMIT to making it happen while being open to even further expansion on your purpose?

I wanted to write an article that somehow relates the midlife transition with the Thanksgiving Holiday (as I'm writing this, it's the day before US Thanksgiving).

When you’re an online solo service professional (solopreneur) it’s crucial that you move away from the hours-for-dollars business model and create a multiple streams of income business, i.e. your income comes from a variety of different sources: 1. Passive income through the sale of information products. 2. Leveraged income by creating and running group programs. 3.

I am fascinated by money - what it is, how it operates, how to attract it, save it, invest it, spend it, give it to others and create more of it. In palmistry, women entrepreneurs' hands reveal, in the hand's simple, straightforward way, the STRUCTURE of money as well as what to do and what NOT to do to have a good relationship with money. Look at the palm of your hand. The middle finger is divided into three zones. The upper zone represents women business owners' 'system' of

You did it this time. In your haste to get your marketing campaign out and announce your next big event, you sent the wrong link or contact information. No one is going to sign up now because there is no way to get to the sign-up page or contact you. Or perhaps even worse, you have a teleseminar scheduled with dozens expected and realize at the last minute, while YOU are calling in, the number you sent out in your reminder emails is off by one number. Now what? First, realize
