STOP FEAR FROM HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE... CONT For me, that feeling was anxiety and uncertainty about what my future held that stemmed from having older parents. My mom had me at 42 years old and as a young child in grade school kids would tell me my mom was too old and because of that was going to die soon. That thought affected me all throughout my childhood. This resulted in my fear of having no one to love me and eventually led me to create my own isolation.

GOALÂ SETTING minus the overwhelm
By Staci Gustiuc
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HEAR PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING? Is it something like 18,793 times--at least-- a day, right? Or maybe it just feels that way? It's all for good reason though. Goal setting is what helps us achieve our dreams. If we don't set goals we have no map to achieve and live our dreams. You've got to know where you're headed in order to get there right? I've noticed many people-- myself included who get stuck between our goals and when, where, or how to start. What happens then? It is easy to become frustrated and beat ourselves up for not taking action but what if you could put an end to this?
Well, my love, this is totally possible and available to you! I've created a simple, five step goal setting workbook to help you go from stuck to started today. Many of us skip the small steps because we want to get the results now. We tell ourselves that those small steps aren't important and pass right over them. After all, we don't want small results we want big results, right? That doesn't work for everyone and it's best to be honest with what works best for you not everyone else.
Stop skipping the small steps. It's hurting you more than it's helping you and your dreams and your family. It's OK to take a step back, regroup, plan a little and then move forward with clear steps. DOWNLOAD YOUR GOAL SETTING WORKBOOK eepurl.com/cH_TAf

MAJORITY RULES
written by Destiny Hilliard-Thomas
We are the majority in these “United” States. According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, women make up 50.8% of the population whereas men, the ‘majority’, makeup 49.2%. Ladies, WE are dominant and powerful! Recently I read a powerful piece entitled “Sweat” by one of the world’s greatest authors, Zora Neale Hurston. The story was amazing but what truly captured my attention was the author’s background which I was already familiar with but learned a little more. This woman was a true beast.
We, as a minority group, are powerful, fearless, and strong being…but we are still somehow fighting to be seen and valued as equal to our male counterparts. We are the beings that are able to create and birth life! We face these challenges daily in all aspects of our lives, whether it’s noticed or subliminal. Recently I started a tee shirt line including powerful messages for women. So while I was doing mock up shirts and selecting shirt styles, the styles were broken into various categories. Normal right? Uh, no. What I noticed was under ‘style’ it had the options classic, premium, and then ladies. Of course as a woman, especially a feminist, I’m thinking “why didn’t the category say men and give their options like they had done for women." In so many instances, the norm and basic is saved for men as they are viewed somehow as the majority, making women, the givers of life, the ones who can hold down a household, a job, a side hustle, and hold it all together making it look easy, are still the minority. For those who may or may not be familiar with exactly what a minority is, a minority is the smaller number of two groups. Webster adds that a minority is a part of a population differing from others in some characteristics and often subjected to differential treatment. Employers usually have to hire a certain amount of women and minorities under Affirmative Action which only came into play because people of color and women were being discriminated against in the workplace.
She moved to NYC with $1.50 to her name. She didn’t have a job nor friends but she had an enormous amount of hope and faith and I don’t mean to take yall to church today but how many believe that all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed!? Won’t He do it! She was the granddaughter of slaves. Her determination fueled her passion. The power of a woman. This granddaughter of slaves, authored Their Eyes Were Watching God, which was made into a film starring Halle Berry, the first black female to win an Oscar for best actress. Did you catch that? They paved the way for millions by growing roses from concrete. Let’s wake up our dreams and put some fire to our passion. You got this!!! Ladies, let’s M.O.V.E. -Destiny Hilliard-Thomas We M.O.V.E.

THE MAGIC FORMULA
TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY | JESSICA HANSEN Women business owners have too much to do. In fact, there are often so many things we want to do, and we have so many ideas, it's impossible to get everything done. But there's hope, ladies. Streamlining your business and making parts of it run on autopilot saves you time and money, and gives you the creative space you need to grow. First, I want to talk about streamlining. There are some misconceptions business owners have when they hear this. Here are four:
#3 "FIGURING OUT WHAT TO STREAMLINE TAKES A LONG
Unless T I M Eyou're . " . running a very tight ship already, there's going ot be a low-hanging fruit. You'll probably find it almost immediately when you document the process. There will be something that sticks out as "Why are we doing THAT?" These are the things you'll start with.
#1 "STREAMLINING CAN ONLY
#4 "THIS IS GOING TO BE
HAPPEN WITH TASKS ON THE
REALLY HARD AND REALLY
COMPUTER.
BORING.".
No. There are all kinds of things we're doing day-to-day that waste time and resources. Streamlining isn't the same as automating, it means to make things run more efficiently.
#2 "STREAMLINING MEANS SKIPPING STEPS.". Wrong again. Before you streamline in your business you have to know what's happening. What do the workers even do? By figuring out what everyone is doing
I promise, this is so much easier than you think. Plus, if you're a creative, you can even turn your process document into an art project. Feel free to add shapes and colors. You don't have to make this a flowchart, unless you want to.
Connect with Jessica's Powerful Chaos to Order techniques at www.theJessicaHansen.com
THE MAGIC FORMULA TO SAVE TIME & MONEY CONTINUED There's only one key concept that you need to know to make this project a success. There are two words you need to be able to distinguish from each other: Process and Procedure. Usually, these two words are thought of as interchangeable. But when you're streamlining and automating, they're completely different. Think of them this way. Process= WHAT you do Procedure= HOW you do it
CHAOS TOÂ ORDER
Ready to start? Get a piece of paper, or open a new document on your computer. For the next 3 days, make a list of every WHAT you do. This is the magic formula. If you know what you do with the time you're working your business, then you know exactly what you can automate without manual input. Make sure that you're not getting too detailed with what you're doing that you spend too much time writing the hows. Don't event think about the hows. For the next three days, you're going to focus only on the whats. Next steps... Knowledge is power, and you now have the knowledge you need to streamline and automate your business. There are going to be things on your list that you can't have a computer do them for you. That's OK! There may be ways to streamline that procedure when you dig into it. We are only skimming the surface of what's possible for you in your life and business when you start streamlining. I've been documenting, revamping, streamlining and automating for over 15 years and I want to help you do the same! Schedule your Chaos to Order Session: www.TheJessicaHansen.com/schedule30 Bring your lists and we'll get right down to business.
THE SECRET WEAPON TO SEEING YOUR DREAMS TAKE PLACE WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE CALLED TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOU, BUT NOT SURE HOW IT WILL HAPPEN I believe that it is not by coincidence that you are reading this at this present moment. You more than likely have a BIG VISION inside of you and you're in a place right now where you are watching it all unfold. I have a simple reminder for you today...
GRAB HOLD OF YOUR POWER There will be no shortage of opinions and advice when you make the decision to step out and live to your fullest potential. If you remember nothing else, know that what you desire to do is not by mistake. If someone else can see the vision that you know you have
received, know that the vision was given to you and not them.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD When I first decided to step out of my comfort zone and launch this nationwide AmplifyHer tour, I had no idea how it could work out. There were days that I wanted to give up BUT I am reminding you today of what I had to remind myself. KEEP MOVING FORWARD! If you know that your goals are not a mistake, the best thing that you can do for yourself and those who will be impacted by your taking action, is to stay focused and keep going!
