Future Billionaire by Valerie Cheers Brown

You can have brilliant ideas, but if you cannot get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere. - Lee Iacocca

Foreward: Thank You, Lord for using me as your instrument to complete this book. Thank You for making this beautiful & incredible life and for this story which is Your story which You have given to me! I also have learned on this incredible journey that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to be scared, but do not let that fear overpower your mind and control you!

No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, God made you special, and you still have something unique to offer. Being more seasoned makes you one of a kind to have made it this far and finally you can do what you have wanted to do all of your life. It is your life, it is never too late to be who God made you to be, and because of who you are you should never stop doing what you love. The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest of your life wishing you had done something about it and who says you should stop being who you are supposed to be which to me is doing what you love doing for as long as you shall live. Are you following Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path or manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path? This is what I believe retirement is. God does not want you to quit so easily unless it is something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like doing. Why stop doing what you love? I have worked all of my life going from job to job because I feel that God wants me to do what I love which is serving others and treating others the way I want to be treated. It is time for me to cease making others rich and use what God gave to me to make my life comfortable for me and for my family for the rest of my life never having to worry for or about a thing again using what God gave to me!

I dedicate this book to all the beautiful people out there who have worked for others all of their lives making others rich who chose the way of living life to the fullest never worrying about where or how the next vacation will be paid for. I have grown older and wiser and more seasoned. No matter the age instead of reTiring, I chose reFiring, going back over my life, sharing with others my story and finally doing what I have always wanted to do for as long as you live & that is loving living my life doing what I love. I will show you how I went from living on $966 a month from depending on paycheck to paycheck to never having to worry about how to make it to the next month not having to ever worrying again. I will show you how I began working & grinding from age 16 making others rich to now working for myself with stakeholders, vendors, suppliers & investors as part of our team. I went from wishing to taking all

what I have learned from all of those jobs learning from all the mistakes I made to growing from them and now working for myself doing what I love and not just some of the time but all of the time I feel like it, because when you love what you do you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind grinding to the bone for as long as you live... The secret is if you are concerned about money, this will not be for you and you must understand that when pursuing your passion & your dreams after first finding your purpose, sharing with the world doing it Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of giving back as He gives to you is the way to success. When you first begin you will be pretty much on your own learning new things, being thankful for what you have already, grateful & blessed realizing each new day is a blessed chance to begin all over again.

I cannot stop giving all praises & gratitude thankfully to the Almighty God because without Him in my life none of the amazing people would have come into my life that made this book nor my journey possible. God has shown me during my journey that there is something way bigger than myself out there waiting to be written about and this is the wonderful journey and those who helped me to get there! It may have taken me sometime to realize that I can do anything when I have faith in God, but I did it and it is never too late to make your dreams come true! Thank You, Lord! I never think about making money as much I believe that God will work it out making my dreams come true!

I will share a prayer I wrote specifically for this books beginning: Just for right now, let me be caring with myself. I excuse myself for not composing enough, or all around ok, or quick enough. I am appreciative today for my interesting inventive blessings. Rather than dwelling on second thoughts about what I haven't practiced yet, I will concentrate on what I can do now to build up my passion. Give me a chance to take somewhere around one, little advance today to put my writing/book out there. At the

point when my inquiry letters go unanswered, I will stay tranquil and recollect that it's regularly not about me or my composition. I will tune in and gain from individuals whose criticism I esteem, however, believe that my most significant controlling voice and wellspring of certainty as an essayist exists in. At the point when openings emerge, let me assess them with clear eyes and have the shrewdness to pass if the book opportunity isn't directly for me. I won't let sentiments of frenzy or edginess lead me to settle on awful decisions, however, believe that on the off chance that I do my very best, the correct opportunities will come to me. Since the general population who matter to me are significant, I will endeavor to set aside extra time today in which I am completely present for them. I will set aside a few minutes to move my body, remain solid, and take in the magnificence that encompasses me. I realize it will fuel greater innovativeness. Please allow that I rest in harmony this evening, thankful for this opportunity I've been given by You, today to compose, to develop, and to send my message out into the world.

Chapter 1: My One Word My one word is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Generosityâ&#x20AC;? and the reason it fits me is because I love sharing and serving others. From the ripe age of 16, I began volunteering as a candy striper and loved seeing the patients faces light up when they heard me and my cart coming upon their hospital room. You will be surprised how good you feel & you also get a healing yourself when serving others and sharing, not for money, but from the generosity of

your heart, giving back to them without expecting anything in return except maybe a smile and a genuine thank you!

When you begin sharing and giving back to people the universe returns to you in such amazing and incredible ways. It can be others inspirational poems or stories, motivational speakers will even begin noticing you if you keep being consistent and showing them how you love serving others on social media. There are so many ways to motivate yourself and the thing is motivating yourself and don’t expect anybody else to do this for you!

I love social media and not to gossip or talk about what I had for dinner or breakfast but social media allows the freedom to be free to display what God has given to you which in my case is my purpose of serving and giving back to others. I will show how I used no money to do what I did and became a part of something way bigger than myself. I was raised and taught how important it is how you treat others will come back to you and even the people who don’t like you, the way you treat them will come back to you with an excessive abundance of love. My mantra is even if they hate you treat them with kindness and it just may be the way for them to eliminate themselves from your life. You don’t need drama and there will be drama but by staying close to God has taught me that the less you say the better you are and the best thing is how good you feel for not feeding into nonsense. I had to learn the hard way but it comes from being obedient, humbling yourself using love as your weapon utilizing consistency for success and the hunger to get yourself out of one life on to a better one just waiting for you prepared only by God and nobody else, so don’t let anybody steal your joy because you got places to be, things to do and people to meet coming into your new life waiting. Always remember: I didn't come this far only to come this far. I am busy being awesome, overcoming obstacles, following the path God lays out for you to you, accomplishing

along the way, never giving up!

Did you know that you will begin seeing followers God has chosen of not only people following you, but those who need inspiration when you share and give back? I have found if you are consistent setting a timeline for yourself as if you were an entrepreneur already, consistently performing, even millionaire and billionaire business entrepreneurs and/or investors will begin following you and will help or send their angels to help you.

Do you know why people will begin following you? Because it shows them that you love what you do and when you love what you do, it will show when you show up and show out sharing with universe! Also when you are a caring and a giving soul, it will attract the same from the universe and this comes from what you are producing and throwing out into the world on a consistent basis!

It is just so amazing how giving and blessing others and sitting back and watching how God works and sets the stage for you. It is not about you when you are an entrepreneur but about your employees and I consider my social media my audience, so therefore, they come first. When your employees are taken care of watch who takes care of your company which is in a way you. It takes team effort and being an entrepreneur is not about just you, but about your employees and it is about making them happy so this is why I love what I do and I love sharing with others what I do and when you take care of your employees they take care of you. I love what happens when you treat others the way you want to be treated. It comes right back to you!

The name of the game is making others dreams come true and watch what God begins doing and the amazing and incredible people will begin becoming interested in you

when you love what you do while sharing with others helping & encouraging others. God will make your days of working hard, constantly, so well worth the wait and I warn you, it will not be easy by a longshot and being your own entrepreneur in the beginning is hard as hell because you have to take all these sign lessons from God making sure to pay attention at His signs.

Chapter 2: How Does Faith Till You Make It Resonate In Your Life? Many individuals have huge dreams of maintaining their own business and working for themselves, particularly in this economy where independent companies are thriving. But thinking about something and actually doing are quite the opposite, so I decided to make it happen before it happens or in other words I have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faithing It Until It Happens!â&#x20AC;?

How does faith it till you make it resonate in your life?

I use to be a major enthusiast of "fake it 'till you make it." truth be told, I was just that fan, that I can say with 96% certainty it is now my new Mantra "faith/confidence it, till you make it." In any case, up to that point, in some cases faking it until you make it doesn't exactly cut it. In some cases, you need something more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something greater.

Confidence.

I shared a gathering of words that loaned themselves to an increasingly otherworldly point of view throughout the end of the week, and I've quite recently truly been inclination constrained to share increasingly more confidence related goodies with you since it's such a tremendous piece of my identity (and I like sharing my identity with

you!).

Be that as it may, regardless of whether you believe yourself to be an especially otherworldly or religious individual, this Mantra has opposite sides to the story.

Enter, Faith it 'till you Make it.

Without a doubt, there's undeniable value in filling the role of your fantasy self until that fantasy self shows itself to be your ordinary reality. "Faking" it until it isn't generally faking any longer. Numerous individuals swear by it – it gets you in the amusement, prepared to venture up to the inside stage like an understudy taking on the lead job on show night.

Be that as it may, some of the time, faking it simply isn't going to cut it.

You need something to have confidence in so firmly that you simply realize that you will get past the opposite side – a side of "I made it!" that feels very great. You need something to call your stone so that during stress, hardship, or uncertainty, you can remain grounded in your fact.

For me (and for a considerable lot of you!), my fact and my Rock is Christ. So "confidence it 'til you make it" resounds so firmly with me since I wholeheartedly trust realize that I can depend on awesome help to rouse my musings and course – to help direct me toward where I have to go to accomplish what I need, however what He needs. We're instructed through Scripture that God won't lead us off track – He has an interestingly complicated arrangement set out for every one of us, and it's our own to perceive through petition and practice. It's our decision to tune into that arrangement

and live by it, but at the same time it's our purpose in life. Furthermore, when we have that confidence and follow up on it, I genuinely think God gives us a little promoter. He looks down on us with support, in the majority of our human defects and human blunder, and He just encloses us by Love and direction and course to enable us to get to where we need and need to go.

Other than getting things going and showing stuff, "Confidence it 'til you Make it" is that Mantra to rehash to yourself 5x in the mirror when you're this near surrendering. At the point when times are hard – actually hard – and all you need to do is quit – here and there the *only* thing that causes me get by is confidence that I'm here for a reason, and that things will be alright. Furthermore, guess what?

… things will be alright for you, as well.

Have FAITH that your motivation is solid and you are here on purpose. Keep the confidence, notwithstanding when it's hard. Since it's freakin' difficult to not know every one of the appropriate responses. It's difficult to lose that feeling of authority over our lives, particularly when we believe we're simply in #bosslady mode all alone record. It's difficult to surrender that and simply have it be in God's grasp. Since now and then, I simply need to bounce up to paradise and state, "God, I need this, similar to, yesterday. Would you be able to get this going? As of now? With these individuals?" Etc. That would be *hella* decent. In any case, that control isn't the motivation behind confidence.

Confidence it 'til you make it.

Since in some cases, you do not understand what's coming down the road. You can't see

the way, you aren't sure of following stages, you're anxious about picking the wrong alternative route or making the wrong call. Yet, you have confidence that God will manage you towards where you're intended to be on the grounds that He's lookin' out. He generally does. Keep the confidence.

What's more, I get that not every person concurs with me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that not every person is a Christian or puts stock in this celestial arrangement throughout everyday life.

Also, for you, this Mantra still applies.

Since confidence doesn't need to be in a higher power constantly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; confidence can likewise be in yourself.

Have confidence that you'll arrive.

Have confidence that you have the smarts, the drive, the assets, the associations, the ability, and the capacities to get it going â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make it to where you so urgently need to go, and where you realize you CAN go.

Have confidence that you're doing what you can at the present time to progress, and in case you're not, have confidence that you'll before long perceive that and be furnished with what you have to straighten out course by then and push ahead again toward your objectives.

If you think working for others is the way to success, think again and it is not! And, if you think getting money to begin a business is the way to go, think again! I never think about making money as much I believe that God will work it out making my dreams

come true!

I have been talking for a long time and not actually doing but after both of my parents passed and I took care of them keeping them out of a nursing home, it has been full speed ahead. My mother passed first and I felt angels lifting a load off of my shoulders because I knew that she was no longer suffering anymore.

But when my dad passed it felt like a sense of a load being lifted and I felt like they made me feel that I can do anything now that I had done what God had me be born first to do for them. My siblings helped also but I felt this sense of being the leader and putting my life on hold until I had done what God had created me for even before I was conceived to do and this was taking care of family which is important!

Do you have a thought for a business, an invention or an idea that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to present to the world? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had numerous thoughts, yet something use to dependably shield me from following up on them and that was I would talk and actually talk myself out of just doing it and asking for help, also I would not put my words into action and would speak about what I wanted to happen but did not do anything about it.

I believe that God wants us to do what we are supposed to do and I honestly believe that when parents have children we are supposed to be the ones to take care of them when they need us and/or get sick. I was the first born for a reason and did I ever go through many trials and tribulations to get to where I am right now. All these things made me stronger and not only stronger but able to withstand the storms which were assigned to my life.

If you have not gone through anything in your life, keep on living and storms will come

but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry when God is close by He will see you through because after all like the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 â&#x20AC;&#x153; There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I knew I had to do something in order to show my sincerity and faith in my vision and knew I had to share my thoughts with the world. God gives us courage to do things we ordinarily would be afraid to be or do and this is when I did my first YouTube video and I sucked at it (at least I thought I did but I to change that way of thinking quickly and went on and did it) and was nervous as heck but I did it! Here is what I thought I needed in order for my idea for the 1st of its kind backpack idea to happen which was the biggest failure I did to myself and my idea by thinking negatively about myself!

I thought, for the most part, I needed underlying capital, so I thought I would begin a fundraiser and what a joke this was and not one single person donated including not even me because I sincerely believed others would help me this way?

First or second failure of my journey... I failed so many times, I lost track. Who in the heck is going to help me to raise money or even donate money for your dream to happen? Then God came to me to let me know I had and needed faith in his blessings and not the flesh. Not one single person on this planet in their right mind would help me! But I did not give up and not even the richest person on this planet would even think about doing this and I again failed! So after failing a few times, and praying on it and asking God what should I do, this is what happened.

I prayed and the video worked even though I believed it was horrible and I was scared to

death, I did it and prayed and asked God to lead the way and I followed Him!

God would give me different projects to work on while I was waiting on the backpack team to come together and God was giving me signs along the way that He as working on my behalf putting together what I needed and this was a team of angels He had chosen for me who were the Swedish Posture team out of Sweden. I saw 201 investors and kept track of watching but it took me awhile before I really listened and heard God!

And then, I would turn Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work into my work and help God with what H he has given to me. In the meantime while waiting on the backpack vision to become reality I would work inspiring myself and with inspirational, motivational quotes and make others dreams come true by creating something encouraging that others were feeling or perhaps going through stopping them from making their dreams come true.

The whole time, I needed all the boost of energy and motivation I could get. Motivating others is somewhat like volunteering. When you give to others, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s universe gives to you what you need. God was giving me peace something I needed more than anything else in the world as I still do and without peace, you have nothing at all! "A satisfied life is better than a successful one. Because our success is measured by others. But our satisfaction is measured by our own soul, mind & heart." - Valerie Cheers Brown But wait! It does not happen overnight nor in a year, or even two years and in my case not even 3 years but many years you have to keep going & doing what God gives to you which is His purpose and you then turn it into your purpose by giving it back to the people and then the secret is to watch patiently as you keep going what the universe begins to send to you.

I can’t tell you what the universe will do for you, but I know what it has done for me and I am beginning to see those I had been following, who are already where I want to be, now following me, and God is putting these amazing angels into my path and they are my what I call my ‘Angel Investors!”

Strike what I just said, “I can’t tell you what the universe will do for you,” because if you give to the universe, the universe will always give back to you which is the Law of Attraction or God.

When I say “Angel Investors” I don’t mean monetarily, but what I do mean being in the presence of God & His universe giving me what I need to make my dreams come true as a team effort by God who assigns these amazing people to you.

These amazing angels God will put into your life are His team and you will begin being invited to meet with them or attend their functions, etc. God will give them your email and the inspiration begins from all these incredible legends, mentors, motivational speakers, etc. showing up and showing out letting you know God has called on them to help you!

Your journey of changing your life won’t be easy and you can ask God for help along the way but you have to help yourself also doing the very best you can putting forth the effort showing gratitude and thankfulness.

I take this as a blessing from God when you begin seeing them in your emails messaging and they will begin showing you that they think of you enough as one of them including you as part of their emailing daily mailing. Most of all what is the greatest feeling is when you get support from mentors and it gives

you this ultimate sensation creating this hunger giving you this energetic energy for producing more and more and then you begin to produce so much more and more and before you know you it, you got so much going on while waiting on God to produce the most brilliant you ever!

Then you have all this work which is and are all your accomplishments showing those who God has given you as team players more leverage of wanting you to be a part of their team.

I will tell you this before we go any further, if you are an impatient soul, you may not want to read any further, but if you are hungry for making your dreams come true, that you have been wanting all of your life, then this is for you and keep reading!

The more God gives to you, the more you have to give to the world! God gives way more when you are patient and wait on Him so He can give you what you deserve. The more you work and the harder you work, the more God has to give to you to give to the world. This is what God wants us to do and we were born to serve others and when we serve others we are serving our Heavenly Father!

The blessings will begin creeping upon you and you have to listen and stay very close to God or you can miss them. I have missed on occasions but one thing about God, He never gives up on us. It amazes me when I hear those say you will miss your blessing if you try and do it your own way. In a way this is correct but what you really do is make the wait that much longer and I have been guilty of this!

God will begin to show you how to use others works which is what He has given to them for you to make yours. It is amazing how others story can actually turn into your story

and then your story turns into other people’s stories for them to turn into their own stories to share and give away in your writing.

I hope this makes sense. When you share with others it also encourages others to get up off of their butts like it did for me and stop saying what you are going to do and do like Richard Branson says, “Screw it, Do it!”

It is amazing what God won’t do when you give back to His children! I feel in my heart that we all are put here with one purpose and that is to help our fellow man which in lay term to me is to help one another and nobody should be without when they need, but you have to take those struggles, use them to help another because you know how and what it feels like to hurt and be without so you share and/or give them back to the world because it is the right thing to do and what God wants us to do.

You take those struggles, turn them into your story, help yourself by helping others and then the healing cycle begins. It helped me and if it helped me I know it will help anybody else who cares about others!

Anyway, back to working for others: I found that when using your own money to begin your own business you will never become successful and using your own money is sort of like when you are working for somebody else making them rich. And when you use your own money it is sort like you are in this for money and only money and this is not what God wants us to use our talents He gives to us for.

I will tell you this: If you are only in becoming successful for money you won’t be successful for very long and as fast as God gave to you, He can take it right away if you are in this for the wrong reasons and this is money for self preservation!

If you are patient enough and wait on God, He will give you what you deserve and guess what? You will still be doing the same thing when you do get an abundance and this is giving to those who need. This is what we are here on this earth for giving back. It is so ironic even when I did not have much God always made a way when somebody needed something available for me to be able to help them. It is just a wonderful feeling being able to help another when you know you can help them!

If you are only in this for the money why would anybody give you money for you to be able to become your own entrepreneur when it is supposed to be yours and only your company. It took me quite awhile to realize, “That are you crazy, Valerie and what are you doing and rethink your strategy if you want to get yourself out of poverty you got to speak this into happening and God is the one who will listen and when He listens just watch what He does and if you are about to get yourself out of poverty watch what He won’t do when you help others expecting nothing in return never mentioning that evil word, “Money?”

Chapter 3: Failing Made Me Want To Keep Going

Failing made me want to keep going until I actually found my purpose God had for me. - Valerie Cheers Brown

I have found by actually failing having my own travel business and failing incredibly well, realizing that you have to have a team to become successful and you cannot run a successful corporation working by your lonesome and expect to be successful. It just won’t work. I realized that in order to have what I deserve I have to give my story of failure in order to become successful and then what makes you more successful is when

you give it away without expecting anything in return.

So, this is when I began giving away all my work, being creative thinking of new ideas of how to become successful so if one thing did not work I would have worked on more than one thing showing others all these talents has given will be just wasted if I sit on them and not using them giving them away to His universe is what makes things begin happening.

It takes finding and realizing what your true purpose is which in my case is writing and doing all kinds of ways of becoming successful by helping others.

I also found that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just stop at doing one thing and you have to be creative in your thinking not being afraid of doing the most scariest things that scare you to death and going out and actually doing them!

I love writing because it inspires others and motivates myself also and believe it or not by me sharing my inspirational and/or motivational quotes it helped me in great ways and taught me to want more and I became more hungry willing to take risks trying new things. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait on others to motivate you and it will never work. You also have to learn how to say yes, to the impossible and no to things which will only hinder you or which are negative.

Now, in order for me to to be able to help you and in order for me to inspire you, I must first be motivated and sort of like: if I am not feeling well how can I help another feel better and if you are not progressing or feeling well it will show in your work and then how can you help anybody else or even be believable? You cannot help anybody if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help self and this is where giving & sharing with others motivates me and gives me

this hunger for wanting more.

I also found that any accomplishment you achieve, congratulate yourself and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait on others to celebrate you. If you wait on others to celebrate your joy you will most likely waiting all of your life.

But in them meantime, during my recess periods I call them, I listen to all motivational videos and I love the ones where you can just listen and listening is so much more important than talking all of the time.

When you need motivation to get you through all the struggles and rough times you will encounter it is up to you to pray and ask God for help and He will show you the way and He will also send you others who are doing the same thing you are doing. This is the best part of doing what you love, God will put others in your life who are on the same page as you. This is just my opinion and we all have different ways of motivating ourselves but I love listening and I love reading others works who are already where I am trying to get to.

This is what gets me through and stays with me longer than complaining blaming everybody under the moon why you are not successful. I know when to shut up believe it or not, and I am good listener believe it or not, I have learned how to let you go and back off when it is not helping me to move forward and making me hungry for more, and though I am still work at progress, I have accomplished quite a lot and am very proud of myself and you should be too if you have accomplishments.

I had to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith It Until I Make It,â&#x20AC;? through it all as spoken about in previous chapters!

This appears to be a commonsense methodology, isn’t that so? So for what reason am I still not working for myself? Since I’m not going for broke I have to act like I am already there and successful. And to get rich, I must work for myself and to work for myself I have to wait on God to send me team players, engaging with others, being grateful for where I am right now, thanking those who are supporting you right now and never forgetting how important it is to serve others along the way. Also, to work for myself, I need to go out on a limb, put myself out there, and make my work work for me and when you love what you do you won’t mind not working for money.

I guess this is why I love volunteering so much!

Chapter 4 : The Journey Begins My journey has been long and still a long way to go but I felt the need to put this book into words for you and the spirit has given me so much that I am writing this out as He gives to me and I did not even have to think about and just started doing this book but I did have to stop and pray many times asking God to help me.

When I began writing again and getting back in on this book I had to do some revisions and since my life has been about revisions & receiving blessings along the way it has encouraged me to continue on as instructed from God.

I pray so much but what really got me back into this book was one morning about 2am I had a great wake up call and I asked God, “God, please I am so weary and tired and can you please show me the way by giving me a hint of what to put into this book which will make it a great book?”

You better watch out when God you ask for something and He gives to you what you ask

for and did He ever give me a big sign and it made me all the more hungry to delve back into this book to prepare for its submission knowing God has got me all along the way not worrying about a thing! What a good feeling when you know God has got your back and not to worry because He gives so much peace you can hear Him loud and clear.

He told me to write about all the great people who have helped me along this incredible journey making my dreams come true.

This is when I knew it was the spirit giving this to me when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t procrastinate but you did because you were not staying close enough to God to hear his signs.

He loves for us to ask Him for what we want and I had gotten to the place where I was praying but was not asking for what I wanted but praying for what I thought I needed instead. It is a big difference!

I am excited and must share with you just a few of the incredible people God sent to me and who now I got emails from and made feel like I am one of them who are my mentors and I follow them and now am staying close to God seeing them have somebody on their team follow me and inspire and motivate me.

In other words, all of these angels God has led to me have made it where i know I can do, have or make anything happen, if I claim it already as mine.

It can only be God bringing these amazing people into my life. He has given me so much that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with it all but He has sent those who surely will know what to do with what I have produced.

Let’s take a mentor break for those who inspire me when I am down who remind me that I am not the only one struggling to get to somewhere possible:

Bill Gates: He dropped out of Harvard to begin a product organization. He was in school, learning innovation without a clear report or profession plan, until the point when his companion needed to open a business with him. So Bill turned into an accomplice in an organization; at that point… well, you know the rest. You recognize what happened in light of the fact that he ended up one of the most extravagant, best individuals on the planet, all since he went for broke. He left a standout amongst the best colleges on the planet to begin a business, and look how that satisfied! Melinda Gates has helped inspire me in so many ways and I love the Gates Notes and I don’t always agree with but I learn something everytime I read your work Bill Gates and for this I say thank you for being part of my journey Melinda & Bill Gates, American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, and humanitarian. He is best known as the principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. Thank you Melinda & Bill. “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” – Bill Gates

Evan Carmichael: I have known Evan for a very long time thanks to social media and I looked up and he began following me and the rest is history and we follow each other back and forth and he always has answered my emails and I often get so many that I have to backtrack and catch up listening to his encouraging #Believe videos of many amazing legends who are already where I am heading. Evan has helped me when I had my travel business which was a failure and he would show me what I needed to do, but I guess that was not purpose and failing only made me want to keep going until I achieved what was my calling. He is a very faithful answerer of my emails and I thank him for this! Evan is family and I love him because he really feels like family only a faraway family. He composed his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your One Wordâ&#x20AC;? which is available right now on Amazon, and has begun now going around the United States speaking with entrepreneurs like you and like me who just need that extra nudge of encouragement by sharing his story with us to to get us started. Guess what? Evan came to my hometown of Saint Louis, Mo. and I finally got to meet my mentor & friend in person, he and Nina, his beautiful wife.

When I walked into the room it was like I had know them both for ages and he was exactly as I thought he would, this lovable, funny & smart person who loved encouraging & inspiring others. His one word is what made me #Believe I could do anything and just need that extra nudge and I know God had him to come to confirm what I already knew

I had to do but was putting it off because of fear.

Man, after I finally met Evan when he & his crew so graciously came to my hometown, Saint Louis, he left me the with the feeling I could hardly wait to get home to begin my book. Evan came to Saint Louis, my hometown, and I did not know how much it would cost to go to his event because I live off of $966.00 a month, almost $200 out of that for health insurance, a big chunk for my roof over my head, food in my refrigerator and one personal pamper for myself once a month. My dad always taught us that you must always pay yourself first before you pay anything else and this sticks with me for life!

So, I just thought to myself I have got to write to him and let him know that I cannot afford 1000s of dollars to come and see him but I knew I had to see him! I let him know my financial status and how many people listen to the people and make it where they can actually come? Evan made it possible for me to get to see him and he even allowed me to bring a friend and I brought a young lady who I was mentoring and for this and I am so grateful and this is how this book became a book!

Evan Carmichael understood where I was coming from because he had been there, where I am somewhat before, and just plain understood what not having enough meant. He spoke about this and explained this in his story about how he was embarrassed to let his friends know he had not much money. This gave me the strength to not be ashamed but proud to let the world know how I survived with what God had given to me.

“I also remembered a closed mouth won’t get fed!”

So after praying, I just knew he would make it affordable so I could meet him one on one and wouldn’t you know it, God made it happen! In Evan’s book he told how he lost out

on a great big deal but ended up making it on his own but it made it want to become successful even more from losing that big deal. I loved how he did not harp on losing out that deal and I always believe when God closes one door He has another waiting to open for you and this is exactly what happened for my friend Evan Carmichael. I highly recommend his book, Your One Word and I have only read it about 10 times! He has also written, My One Word which is also a very good read and I highly recommend it too!

It is so awesome listening to somebody tell their story and before their story come out you sort of know what the next word will be because you have experienced pretty much the same kind of struggling which you thought you were all alone struggling. To hear another speak about their struggles and how they made them who they are today just boosted my mentality and was all the juice I needed to do what needed to be done! I loved how Evan’s book “Your One Word” mentioned his mentors and their stories and so I decided that I would take what I had read of his and not copy it but try and take what I got from him and turn it into my story!

Evan has encouraged me from day one when I began listening and watching his “Top Ten Rules” and I fell in love with anything which he came into contact with on his videos especially all of the legends who allowed him to use their stories to share with the world. I loved Evan’s video presence so much because he offers and allows your opinion and post what you liked the most about a video which he shared on YouTube. He also answers emails himself and he answers me all of the time and if late, it was for a good reason!! He is just so great when it comes to engaging with the audience and I have learned so much from him and try to engage with my fans also! It is hard but I set aside a time to do this and it feels good even if they don’t say anything back, and at least I let them I am grateful for them engaging with my work.

Well, I enjoyed seeing and meeting Evan and his beautiful wife, Nina for the very first time live in person in my hometown of Saint Louis, and have followed Evan and Nina’s videoes when their son was on them too from the very beginning when I met him.

Well, this book is because of you Evan Carmichael and for this I want to say thank you so much for helping me to see that saying what I am going to do and doing are two different things. As much as I hate to say this, “This is why I don’t like goals and anybody can write anything down and say this is my intention but doing is totally another book!”

Evan Carmichael has encouraged me so much that I started & began this book and I thank him greatly! Evan began using others stories and not just anybody’s stories but people he wanted to get to be like and this is why I love following him and Evan showed me that when you think and stay close to those big dreams which you are aiming to be one day, and actually doing it rather than talking about it, you will begin seeing those people you once were so big hanging out with you.

I also noticed when following up and being consistent and keeping your word investors like this too and you will begin to see that giving away ideas and sharing with others has no limits but will eventually make you successful too!

I know it only could have been God which put Evan Carmichael & all the many others into my life and I take this a grand gesture and proud of myself for when I actually began thinking, I said to myself, “Evan speaks with billionaires and has many YouTube videos sharing their Top 10 Rules of so many great legends, and I am claiming this title as my very own happening very soon and I also consider myself it a compliment

that Evan chose me to follow and very fortunate to be amongst those billionaires Top 10 Rules.

I cannot say it enough that I love what Evan does to boost your motivation and he allows you to choose your favorite rule and post it and he always replies and this is why I especially love Evan because of his engagement and he also remembers where he came from and this has taught and reminded me of what to expect when I too become a billionaire and that is never forget where I came from and how the struggle is what got me there.

Evan thanks for coming to Saint Louis and I wish you happy travels to all of the cities you will cover sharing your story. I feel God sent you to me showing me what I will be doing soon! I hope you are feeling better and recuperating nicely. I have prayed for you for a speedy recovery also and you are so loved and greatly appreciated my friend!

“Don’t quit!!! Find that motivation to keep going even when people around you think you are nuts.” – Evan Carmichael

Frances Wolsey Kiradjian: My friend first, mentor, colleague & business partner who is the Owner/CEO/Founder of the BLLA, Boutique Lifestyle Leadership Association aka Stay Boutique Lifestyle Leadership Association. I prayed when I went back to college in about the mid 2000s or so, and asked God to send to me a strong female business owner in the who loved motivating others and God put Fran in my path who loves encouraging students and I found this to be intriguing.

It is funny how it all happened with the BLLA and how I would always claim myself and my travel business who I named sort of after her business name and the rest is history. I just made myself a member because I wanted it so bad it happened! I was not a member and claimed myself so much that when I became member I was the happiest camper ever!

When I first met Fran and her family finally in person, it was like I had known them all of my life and the rest is history and I am now a part of something way bigger than myself and am a proud member of the BLLA!

When I began the emphasis of Organizational Leadership at National American University College where I learned so much about what writing can do for your lifetime success it all began and I began following Ian Schrager, the Grandfather of the Boutique Hotel and then I began following Mr. Kimpton of the Kimpton Hotels and then I also began to follow Mr. Marriott of the Marriott Hotels. One could say that the rest is history and there are hundreds of boutique hotels everywhere now!

When in college studying Organizational Leadership Is where I became aware of the boutique trend and of their existence and find them to be something that would be great in any big cities airport and I plan on being a part of a team of pod/capsule hotels one day soon.

Richard Branson: Okay, Sir Richard Branson and who would have thought I would be following this amazing & generous human being who gives to the world on an incredible basis. He is constantly being creative with his imaginative & beautiful dyslexic mind, same as my dyslexic mind, but not letting not one single thing stop him

from trying anything. He just plain does not care what others think and I love him for this!

I came up with a crazy idea for the first of a kind backpack in the world addressing posture and I know in my heart he helped me along with God make this happen but here is what he and his Virgin team did.

This is how God works: I requested to be sent a copy of a Virgin Startup Business Plan which was supposed to be only for young people no older than in their 30s and you had to be from the UK.

Well, anybody who knows me knows I am not neither but did that stop me? Hell, NO! Now, who in their right mind would let a chance of a lifetime like that pass them by and I don’t care about any rules and never have and went for it and the rest is history.

Would you believe I did a business plan best I could and had never done a business plan of this nature in my life except for when in college, which saved my butt and helped me lots, but I got the basics down and sent it back anyway.

Richard Branson has a quote that goes something like this, “If anybody offers a chance of a lifetime and you don’t know how to do it, just do it! Don’t quote me and this is probably my new quote instead of his! Lol

I am smart, stubborn, don’t believe in following rules so me of the time, proud & dyslexic, difference maker since a kid, and so proud of me, but when I saw all the things Richard Branson had done, it made me happy & very proud all at the same incredible time, knowing that God had chosen him to be in my life during my journey.

“Wow, “ I thought and as I shake my head while writing this I saw how he wrote blogs quite a lot and then I began reading is blogs and I also saw how he wrote sometimes, but then he had his team write also sharing their stories and I then began to think this is exactly what I want to be when I grow up! Lol

I had to pat myself on my own back when I came up with the zany idea of the first of its kind backpack addressing posture which one has good posture you can pretty much learn to manage any disease and if a child it can help to correct so when you do become older it would effect as much as it has not affected me much because of my participation in gymnastics as kid so good the Olympics approached my parents.

When kids are born sick like I was, they tend not to have pity parties like many adults may have and kids play I thank God I had parents who allowed me to be a kid and get dirty, play wild games, and just plain have fun like kids are supposed to be and do.

But the idea of the zany first of its kind backpack which was not just for carrying but for you to wear all the time if you choose to protect your spine when sitting, standing or for wearing all the time when we in the 21st century sit and glare at computers for way too long of a time and this backpack can help save the world’s disease caused by bad posture and help to decrease the disability rate and we can even lower the rate of those having to use canes and walkers because when we take care of our posture, which is one of the most important aspects of living a good, healthy and sustainable life if we can decrease the spine, neck, and back problems of the world.

When I first read about this incredible philanthropist, Richard Branson, I thought Oh my God! Now, I prayed and asked God to send me somebody who I was similar as a

child having dyslexia, and wouldn’t you know it, God sends Richard Branson. There are 1000’s of people who I had no idea had the same as me, but God decided upon Richard Branson. And the more I watch him closely, I can see some similarities.

This mentor is a man but I a woman who does not have the zeros behind her name YET (Notice I used all caps) but to know somebody who has dyslexia and who is also a great difference maker who does not care about what others think about all of his crazy, zany ideas made me all the more want to follow this mentor for certain. What really made love Richard Branson was because even as a child, I use to tell everyone, “Employees come first not the customer!” Boy, did I have confrontation and called nutz, crazy and you won’t ever get a job then kind of comments. I guess this is why I never stayed on one job long because if they did not treat me the way I treated them, the hell with them and the job! It never crossed my mind to get on one job and staying there to retire and it still doesn’t.

And just to think Richard Branson’s story all began from when he and a friend taking a risk and starting a record company, and eventually became one of the richest men in the world turned my head for sure. He also failed many times but it never stopped him. It was even more incredible because he was a man and I am a woman who thinks on similar levels if not even more so than Richard Branson, not bragging Richard, but I am a woman but this does not matter and God loves us all but He put this incredible human being who not only has mentored me but showed me what I can do being dyslexic and really did not know about it until I began following Richard Branson listening to the same things I struggled with as growing up and still do! Lol

I am in no way, shape or form comparing myself to Richard Branson, but I am writing how God works and Richard has inspired and encouraged me to believe that if he did all

this, I can too! Richard Branson has taught me not to second guess myself and just doing it by going ahead with it not worrying about what others may think or not think, without second thoughts and I feel that I have become the already new & improved me thanks to God opening my eyes putting Richard Branson and many other angel mentors into my journey!

Anyway, when I went back to college I began following Sir Richard Branson and when I saw him kissing my business partner on a photo they took, Frances (Fran) Kiradjian CEO/Founder of the Stay Boutique Lifestyle Leadership Association, on the cheeks, I knew it was all good to go and the sign from God I had been waiting on all of my life. Yes, God’s signs are pretty special especially when you pay attention to them. The only thing is these are your dreams and what God has for you is for you and don’t expect anybody else to believe or understand what you will say to them in your happiness of many accomplishments along the way which will begin happening.

I just had to prove to God that I wanted this life change and I was dead serious of getting to where my many mentors were already at. My friend, family, colleague and business partner, Richard Branson is dedicated to helping, serving with a caring kindred spirited spirit and this was the person God chose for me.

Soon the rest will be history and I will meet him very soon. Oh, I almost forgot, Virgin Startup sent me a skeleton biz plan and allowed me to put my business plan, which I had never done anything this intense before but they gave it to me and I did the very best I could and presented it and I wanted it so bad I just did it like Richard Branson’s quote says!

God gave me so many signs but It is a sign when people won’t help you, you got to do the

damn thing yourself and I did and God shows me every single day that He never leaves me and I can ask Him to help me with anything and He will!

Now, the rest is history and we now have a Swedish Posture Vertical Backpack with a Swedish Posture team out of one of the places I love bragging about how their health is taken seriously there for all people no matter who you are in Sweden. I will explain the whole story about the backpack later on in the book!

We now have a Swedish Postre team out of Sweden with well over 200 backers and they are selling quite well but the best is yet to come when God shows me how to delegate and market this for me using no money! Now I have to learn how to sell on Facebook Marketplace, Amazon Store and learn other platforms to sell them for Swedish Posture. Work in progress…

I want to say thank you to our Swedish Posture team in Sweden and here is what we are about and what our mission is:

SWEDISH POSTURE STORY

A poor posture, a constant reminder to parents, a broken collar bone and hard work are key ingredients that made Swedish Posture global.

Emma Pihl, the founder of the Swedish Posture got sort of information from a parent concerning her posture. Reasonably competitive as she is, she began to closely examine her posture, as well as other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postures. She then realized that a surge in sitting

time of today’s deskbound routine has led to an epidemic of poor posture due to inadequate movements coupled with too little exercise or inactive lifestyle.

Relatively competitive as she is, she started to pay attention to her posture and the postures of others as well. She realized that the result of today’s sitting lifestyle and lack of movement has created numerous “hunchbacks/kyphosis” and “iPad necks” out there.

Therefore, she invented it herself with some inspiration from the rehabilitation of a broken collarbone. Swedish Posture’s first flagship product, the Posture Classic – a kind reminder for better posture.

I cried when I saw her videos on her blog page which were shared by many and they were all happy tears that God loved me so much that he put exactly with whom I am supposed to be with right now at this very moment and I cannot wait and personally hug Emma Pihl, the founder of the Swedish Posture team.

“My philosophy is that if I have any money I invest it in new ventures and not have it sitting around.” – Richard Branson, English business magnate, investor, author and philanthropist. He founded the Virgin Group, which controls more than 400 companies. Branson expressed his desire to become an entrepreneur at a young age.

Oprah Winfrey: There are many mentors I have that are my secret mentors and I don’t need to mention their names because I listen to them constantly and listening is more important to me and helps me a great deal! Oprah Winfrey I faithfully listen her motivational shows, lectures, presentations, and inspirational shows. My favorite words from Oprah that I cry everytime I hear are these words is: “I took a good long look at what I was doing on tv and made a decision that I was no longer going to just be on tv, but I was going to use tv as a platform as a force for good and not be used by tv.” – Oprah Winfrey, American media executive, actress, talk show host, television producer and philanthropist. She is best known for her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated television program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011 in Chicago. What I love about Oprah is that she is a strong, determined and independent business person who sets the bar showing young girls you can do and be anything you want when you do what you want to do whether the mass like it or not. She has guts and is not afraid of trying things others have never ever been brave enough to attempt and she shows them otherwise by doing it and being the first to actually do because it is her own show and she can do what she wants to do whether you like it or not!

Tony Robbins: When I hear your introductions to your events I go crazy and it makes me get up and do something and I thank you all of the motivation, giving, sharing & caring you bring to this world. I love because you always message me and ask me if i am alright and I love that. Everytime I see you and hear you I get motivated and your videos inspire me to do it! Thank you Tony Robbins for everything you are doing and I feel you through your messages! Just your commercials make me want to do something bigger than myself!

“There’s always a way, if you are committed.” – Tony Robbins, American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach. Robbins is known for his infomercials, seminars, and self-help books including Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within. Robbins is the founder of several companies that earn approximately $6 billion in annual sales.

Neil Patel: Okay Neil is from the UK and I only know one person from the UK who is my mentor and Neil has helped me by showing me what I don’t need and he has showed me how to read analytics and what SEOs are and though I still don’t understand that stuff I am beginning to use the things you are sharing with me. When I hear the words ‘Content Marketing’ this reminds me of my full email box information from my friend and colleague, Neil Patel! I have learned to read between the lines when it comes to Neil Patel. I don’t understand everything he speaks about but I can try and use what I do know and learn from it. I ask questions but rarely get answers from Neil but that doesn’t stop me from learning from listening to him.

There is just so much to learn but I try to absorb as much as I can from listening to Neil, but most I do not understand but I know you are there for me helping me about SEO! It is hard learning all of this stuff, God gives to it is okay not to know everything but God gives to me me signs when He puts these amazing and helpful individuals into my life, and when you got mentors all over the place helping you and team players helping you along the way it begins to make you realize that you are not alone thanks to God.

I cannot thank you enough Neil. I don’t still know pretty much what I am looking at

most of the time, but I am learning to keep track of certain things which Neil has shown me each time I listen to which is making me stronger and I am learning to pay attention and you cannot get to where you are supposed to get to when you don’t pay attention and being dyslexic which I use to my advantage, it does take a bit longer, but it has not stopped me, but it takes a little longer for some things to register with me at time, but will never stop me from being the creative & productive woman God wants me to be serving others.

I know about a bit more about reach & audience analytics and I thank you. You have taught me a great deal most, I do not understand, but I know you are there for me! You have to keep doing what the people want, being consistent, and watching the numbers of what they will help with success! Thank You God, for sending me Neil Patel and all of the wonderful teachers, motivational speakers, entrepreneurs, investors, stakeholders & vendors which has been my lifelong dream. “Create content that teaches, You cannot give up. You need to be consistently awesome.” – Neil Patel, English Investor from the UK, Digital Marketing Consultant, & Blogger

Daymond John: Who would have even thought I would even be saying your name let alone receiving emails from you, encouraging and inspiring me letting me know he is watching what I am doing. He also inspires me of what to come about the naysayers and for this I say thank you Daymond John. Daymond I don’t have say a whole lot about you and your name speaks for itself and I have admired your spunk ever since FuBu! Thank you Daymond for all of the encouragement and inspirational videos, stories, courses, and especially the vast amount of emails, etc. God has placed this amazing angel into my path who is part of the Shank Tank Team and I am so proud to say that Daymond is a mentor of mine and when it comes to business I think of his book, Rise and Grind where this good read coaches on out-performing, outworking, and out-hustling your way to a more successful and rewarding life. Just those words sound so good to my ears and anybody who knows me knows that I am a hard worker who doesn't give up easy! He writes in this book about if you want to get ahead and stay ahead you need to put in the work. He goes further to explain why you need to outthink, outhustle and outperform those around you if you want to succeed. You got to be consistent on a daily basis and 'rise and grind.' His bestselling book, The Power of Broke, is another good read and what I got out of this book was he wrote about those who have gotten to the top and how they sacrificed to get there which was not easy at all but they worked hard and grind their way to the top. Do I ever love the sound of those words, "grind your way to the very top!' He reveals how working hard along with perseverance helped him to overcome struggles along the way and basically how he took those struggles which in way were what helped him to get to the top and were like a fuel to create this hunger for more until he made it and became successful. He shares other’s stories also and is a very good read and I highly recommend.

“The easiest thing to sell is truth.” – Daymond John, American businessman, investor, television personality, author, and motivational speaker. He is best known as

the founder, president, and CEO of FUBU, and appears as an investor on the ABC reality television series Shark Tank. Based in New York City, John is the founder of The Shark Group.

Robert Kiyosaki: Rich Dad, Poor Dadâ&#x20AC;ŚOMG! I have attended several of your workshops! I listen to Rich Dad, Poor so many times throughout my adult life now and especially at night while in bed and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I would do without this amazing story reminding why I even began this journey! Let me begin by saying, if you have not read this book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, you must! I listen to the audiobook at least once or twice a month and I need that reminder of both of those dads to keep me moving and it is because of reading this book is when I decided instead of reTiring, I would be reFiring! Thanks Robert and I look forward to meeting you and have been to several of lectures with your team players when they came to Clayton, Mo where I learned so much

and even took a pic with one of them.

I am so glad & grateful to God for introducing me to Robert Kiyosakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge about assets and how â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, it may be difficult to raise the sum required to create or initialize some of the above assets such as a Hotel or a Ski Resort. In such cases, partnerships or sponsorships are helpful. I never knew about Robert until one day I revisited the thought of going back to college and it was a required book to read! It is never too late to hear what you need to hear or know what you need to know and age means nothing is only a number. I have found out that the older we get, the better we get. If I had graduated from all of the colleges I have been, I would possibly have a couple of Masters and a Ph.D. and I have so many college credits I am eligible to Adjunct Professor. I never get tired of learning and it is the knowledge which has brought me to this wonderful place of getting my life out of poverty and a degree was in the picture for me and never really wanted one to be perfectly honest. What I carry away from furthering my education is the wisdom & knowledge of giving back to the world, using what God has given to me and serving others.

When Rich Dad, Poor Dad really sunk in was when I kept on taking college courses and when I looked up I had enough to get a PhD but could never get the degree because I could not pass that damn retarded College Algebra, which when I had in high school I mastered. This is when I missed my dad and my grandmother and they both helped me with my Algebra when in school! I made an A in high school and also aced Chemistry too in high school but if I had went right from high school to a four year university I may have continued but my daughter came first and I went and took classes while taking her with me at UMSL but that is ancient history!

My dad was one of the hardest men in the world and my mom, me and my siblings never

saw a day without food or our lights on and a roof over our head but when he retired that all changed and his health began to change and then he died and he was really looking forward to retiring and got the raw end of the stick when he retired! All I could do is say, “Daddy, they gave you a gold watch and a paycheck that was in reality theirs and he only got that paycheck when he worked for them and not when he retired. Now that you are retired you kindly remind us all of the time, “You all have to realize I am retired now, and don’t have what I use to have!”

I never could understand why he even retired if he were going to have less than when he was working, but this is what I hear so many who retire saying now and it never made any sense to me and never will!

I have come to the conclusion that when you can’t wait for retirement you must be either crazy (no disrespect intended) or you hate your job, not realizing that you must plan for anything and when you don’t set back up plans for the long term and even the short term you have absolutely nothing coming when you retire but going backward and going backward is a total waste of time not realizing that the only person who gained was the person you worked for because they became richer each time you made perfect attendance or never took off of work or were sick!

You wait until you retire cause you miss what you were doing which you hated and then retire and have too much time on your hand where you should be doing what you love but instead you do nothing and then later you die from boredom!. So, this is when I decided I deserve more and instead of reTiring, I am reFiring! This reminds me of the dad who believed you were to go to school, get a job and then retire! My poor dad who was a very hard worker also believed this was the way of life and I never and still don’t agree with that philosophy which makes no sense to me one bit!

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.” – Robert Kiyosaki,American businessman and author. Kiyosaki is the founder of Rich Global LLC and the Rich Dad Company, a private financial education company that provides personal finance and business education to people through books and videos.

Anik Singal: I cannot leave out “my favorite person in the world,” as Anik says, Anik Singal, who was introduced to me by my other mentor Robert Kiyosaki! Anik comes to me in the most weirdest time with his Lurn Nation listenings! I listen to him all of the time while I am working! Yes, I listen while I work. Blame on it me being ‘a woman’ and I can do more than one thing at a time and Anik Singal has remarkable stories about how not to let your dream get away from you and if you fail one time, don’t stop, if you fail 2 times, don’t stop, if you fail 3 times, don’t stop and on and on…

It is great listening to mentors whose life changed by not giving up! Just listening to Anik increases my thoughts of wanting to make my dreams come true even more. This is the greatest thing which God has done for me when I am down and out and feeling a bit blue is how He will send inspiration and motivation to you at the right time! This is what Anik does for me and I say, “Thank you, Anik!” Thanks again, Robert Kiyosaki for introducing me to Anik!

Anik is Lurn CEO & is a digital publishing expert and I listen to him frequently and he has a podcast called, "The Fighting Entrepreneur."

When women support each other incredible things happen. - Unknown author

Karen Salmansohn: This wonderful lady’s inspirational posts use to haunt me! One day I looked up and I prayed and God showed me that he had sent her to me! Did I ever need inspiration and my travel agency was not going well and was just plain a failure but what I learned from failure made all the more want not to give up and Karen helped me through this hard times! I looked up one day about in the year 2014 and there was the incredible author of many beautiful & cute quotes, Karen Salmansohn! She was the very

first woman who encouraged me and I want to thank her very much for everything and for being there for me then and now on LinkedIn especially inspiring and motivating the world. I love you Karen and your quotes rock! Since Karen began appearing on my timeline everytime I looked up things have been going forward for me and I thank you Karen! I did a little digging and found out that Karen was a best selling author & she was also a columnist for another one of my mentors, Oprah Winfrey, Yes, I said Oprah Winfrey. I then knew this was God who had sent this angel to my path and the rest is history. I still see Karen lots on LinkedIn and she steps in right on time when I am down and out having thoughts of giving up!

Here is a little about my friend and mentor Karen Salmansohn:

Karen Salmansohn is the originator of NotSalmon – just as the smash hit writer and grant winning architect – with around 2 million books sold broadly and universally – and more than 1 million fans on Facebook and around 60,000 Instagram fans. She is focused on moving individuals to carry on with an actual existence they adore – regardless of the amount "you gotta be cracking messing with me!" life tosses at you! The following is the tale of Karen's own adventure – a zig-zagger of a way with numerous snags to swerve around and pinnacles and valleys to go up and through – which conveyed her to why she adores composing and structuring rousing books and video courses.

These are just a few of the many mentors I follow and learn from and appreciate each and every person on my journey. I have many mentors, but these few who are dear ones who seem like family at heart and I listen to them frequently and they are my medicine (no disrespect) with great side effects that have kept me going on this hard but so worth it journey that keep me motivated, inspired and encourage me that if there stories

turned out into a positive success story then my story shall and will l do the same!

I claim my victory in all my dreams before they happen and I have always spoken my dreams into existence and they will be happening soon so, I got to keep obeying God by paying attention and staying close to Him and the rest will soon be history and we will be speaking about this book very soon!

“View your life with KINDSIGHT. Stop beating yourself up about things from your past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, “What was I thinking,” breathe and ask yourself the kinder question, “What was I learning?” - Karen Salmansohn

Steve Harvey: What can I say? If it were not for Steve, I would not have made it, and this is the honest to God’s truth. This man makes you laugh if you had the worst pain and you would not be mad because he would make your hurt be forgotten instantly! He has made my side, stomach and neck hurt so many times but a good hurt from laughing which is the best medicine when feeling down is the best hurt I will take any day. So, I

recommend if you are struggling with anything going on in your life right now, I recommend a heaping tablespoonful of Steve Harvey’s humor and the only side effect is that you can take as much as needed! How anybody can say one bad thing about this man is beyond question because he has helped me when I was feeling really down on myself, like we all do sometimes, if we really tell the truth & be honest! You cannot go wrong watching anything he is in and you won’t regret it and will feel so much better! He is the most for real black man on television right now if you ask me! There are so many people I could mention who have led me to this book and I can’t mention them all but if you ask me, I will tell you their names but Steve Harvey has been my pain killer when I thought I could not go on! I don’t care what anybody says there is no such thing as being happy all of the time, but if you watch Steve Harvey, you just may break a record! lol

So I have to say it again: A person who also inspires me and keeps me laughing is Steve Harvey and without taking a break with Steve, I don’t know how I would have made it this far. That man is incredible and how he does it, I want to know and I know I work hard but he is getting paid and does it all of the time! Lol When do you rest Steve? Your story is my story and I just have to say thanks for sharing with the world you hearty laugh and that beautiful smile! I love that man’s heart, soul & mind and he has one of the biggest laughs in this world that makes my soul feel revigorated!

I am beginning to see from many of my mentors who are showing up in my emails are messages from God that I am almost there. I have never in my life seen so many people who I had been following, seen on the television, etc. who are actually blowing my email box totally up. If they answer it is God and not them letting me know He is the messenger and the Almighty and with Him anything is possible! I don’t care who answers the emails but when I send a message it comes back pretty fast letting me know

message received. All that matters to me is that they are showing up to me and showing out for me that they know I exist. If my mentors don’t answer themselves God lets me know immediately that they got the message and they recognize me as important person which they are reaching out to because what they see I am doing which is serving others and giving back what God gives to me to the universe. So the universe answers pretty quickly is all I can say and I thank them.

Chapter 5: Do Successful People Genuinely Set Goals? Isn’t the real purpose of goals is something to aim for which may or may not be reached? Bruce Lee has a quote: A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. Huffington Post says, Goals should be points along a path that guide you through life, and not destinations where you just stop and look around, wondering what’s next. Reconsider your meaning of goals... because if you don’t, you might one day find yourself lost, with no new destination in mind... What I love to do realistically is use a goal as a landmark for bigger and better goals. For example "make $100k a year by the time I am 30 should be more like make $100k a year by age 30 so that way you can make $200k by the time 35 kind of plan. This way you have no real end point and you skip from one goal to the next in succession, the whole time looking back at whether you hit those goal and what adjustments you had to make. I do love having a map like learned from Jack Canfield and by seeing those things inspires and gives hope showing where you are right now and where you started. Ask yourself "Where am I right now on my journey and look at all you have accomplished since you first started. This is a great way to give a direction of where you are heading. Merely by having interim goals can help and guide you to keep moving forward to get those places on that map drawn out for yourself. To be honest seeing the places I want to get to makes me want to work all the harder keeping positive and claiming already

there helps me. In other words if you are going to use goals they should be the points along the journey or pahty that guide you to where you are trying to get to and not just someplace you are stopping to look at and continue dreaming about. Does this make sense? I had to reconsider my goals and they did not help me get to where I am right now and may be why it took so long, but along the path we have to rethink our goals. What if we were to set a goal to actually be bigger than your actual goal? What if you come upon a much better goal than what you planned for yourself? All I am saying along the path we may want to pray for key signs or God signs that we show that we are on the right path. Destination does not define the end of a trip does it, but isn't it a stop over. So what then? When we set goals and we do make them, what then? Do we just stop and don't continue onto more bigger things. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we in real life continue on until we find the need to set another objective or something bigger may come into our path that move to? Nobody can force their form of accomplishment on us. Nobody can reveal to us living a decent life. It's anything but difficult to accept that achievement implies getting a particular objective, for example, a vocation or societal position, and to trust that in the event that we get that thing, we'll be effective. Intention versus Setting Goals I accept fruitful individuals set objectives. New Year's is by a wide margin the most well-known time when individuals and associations take a seat and set objectives on what they need to accomplish. To be sure there are numerous fantastic articles on why objective setting can be significant, how to set objectives, how to ensure you accomplish them. In any case, imagine a scenario in which there was another point of view on defining objectives. Consider the possibility that defining objectives could really be a negative thing. I am cognizant this is an antagonistic view as 99.9% of individuals including profoundly regarded business guides and mentors firmly bolster the idea of defining objectives (regardless of whether they, themselves may not set them) yet read on. The defining of objectives is viewed as the fundamental good judgment in the business world and it's strengthened by research. Like that review done on the Yale Business School class of 1953, you may have known about, in which just 3% of the graduating understudies recorded clear objectives. After twenty years, that 3 % had a more prominent consolidated total assets than the other 97%. Convincing, correct? There are truly over a thousand articles that refer to this examination, and individuals like Anthony Robbins quote it as the reason for their books and workshops.

It would force on the off chance that it were valid. In any case, it isn't. That review doesn't exist. It's an unadulterated urban fantasy. Actually, even Yale's very own library site prompts it is a fantasy. So what does it make a difference if this examination wasn't in reality obvious? Everybody realizes that fruitful individuals set objectives. Or on the other hand isn't that right? In the mid-1990s, an article was distributed in an Australian magazine around what makes effective individuals fruitful. It saw high-flying business officials, champion sportspeople, and media identities to attempt and discover what basic attributes they had. One of the regular characteristics viewed as the defining of objectives. They didn't. This is a pattern that proceeds with current associations, for example, Google, who likewise don't set yearly objectives past those required by the SEC. For Google's situation, they don't set corporate objectives as it diminishes their deftness - the capacity to react to what the market is doing (which is regularly beyond their ability to do anything about in any case). There are numerous well known citations from people or, frequently now ancient, organizations who "knew" precisely what the business would do. "Man won't fly for a long time." - Wilbur Wright, 1901 "This current band's going no place." - Pete Best, Original Beatles Drummer, 1962 "There is no reason anybody would need a PC in their home." - Ken Olsen, Head of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977 How is it conceivable to define sensible objectives when it is difficult to anticipate every one of those components outside of our control that could impact these? There have been loads of concentrates on what makes fruitful individuals effective, for example, those referenced in Stephen Covey's book Seven Habits of Highly Successful People. These individuals showed characteristics like determination, center, and absolute pledge to an objective. The issue with this examination, as recorded in Jerker Denrell's 2003 investigation Vicarious Learning, Undersampling of Failure and the Myths of Management is that the investigation bunch is very specific. For this situation, just effective individuals were contemplated.

As anyone might expect you don't see numerous books on what makes degraded disappointments ineffective, yet in certain investigations, generally narrative, it has been discovered that these individuals really execute similar propensities. Determination and complete promise to an objective can make the individual careless in regards to the real world, unfit to manage changes to their market or condition. In reality in the 2013 "narrative" Jobs, the reason that made Steve Jobs effective - a determined spotlight on quality - was likewise the reason he was at last removed from Apple, in that this center made him careless in regards to different elements required for his organization to succeed. So if the benefit of defining objectives is flawed or easily proven wrong, is there extremely an issue or potential mischief with defining objectives and what's going on here? Undoubtedly the fruitful individuals met in the magazine were inquired as to why it was they didn't define objectives. The appropriate response was straightforward and important for athletic execution. "Characterizing objectives characterizes your constraints." For instance, picture a four-hour long distance runner whose objective it is to run a sub3:30 long distance races. He works out what should be done - train to that particular pace and comes race day run a 3:29. Objective met. This is an incredible case of where the objective setting worked. Isn't that right? Presently envision a four-hour long distance runner who submits every week to pursue a fair program of strong perseverance, loads, and track work. Every week he meets this responsibility - a guarantee to persistently improve. Come race day he runs 3:19. For this situation, defining an objective of 3:30 would have implied he didn't get the best out of himself - he sold himself short. Envision again if for our four-hour sprinter a 3:30 long distance race was never sensible in any case dependent on time until the occasion and accessible preparing time? Had he concentrated on progress over the objective, he may have run 3:39, which is as yet an immense individual best. Rather he "missed" his objective and is frustrated or, more awful still is harmed from endeavoring to push for an implausible objective and can't run the long distance race by any stretch of the imagination. This is additionally normal in the business where explicit objectives lead to individuals duping or delivering low quality yield so as absolutely to tick the crate of gathering the objective. The equivalent is basic for individuals attempting to get more fit. They set an objective, rather than concentrating every day on eating savvy and practicing appropriately. For weight reduction, the issue can likewise be that a long haul objective is more diligently

to be propelled for and subsequently slip-ups in sustenance become alright and selflegitimate as the general population being referred to have months left to go. Weight reduction is regularly not direct, particularly with hefty individuals who have lost their insulin affectability. This makes a problem where a long haul objective isn't inspiring, yet a momentary objective isn't an exact impression of advancement. So as opposed to characterizing your very own constraints through long haul objectives, maybe simply make a pledge to persistent improvement. Effective individuals may not throughout the entire set term objectives, yet they do focus on developing as a person. They take a gander at what they can do every day to make a little improvement that, after some time, includes. Truth be told, a 1% improvement, more than 68 days methods you will be 100% superior to anything you were yesterday. I don't put stock in defining objectives. I found quite a while back that the defining of objectives resembles making a guarantee, an agreement to accomplish what you said you would 100%. In a similar vein as New Year's goals where we set standards for ourselves and attempt our hardest to accomplish them. Until the finish of January when we've broken the eating routine, had a few glasses of wine, missed every day contemplation and 'overlooked' to go to the rec center three times each week. The issue with objectives is they sense that they're an unchangeable reality, and when we slip a little we feel like a disappointment and beat ourselves up for not doing what we said we would. When we break that diet or have that glass of wine we feel some way or another we've been frail, and let ourselves down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at that point we negative self-talk all over ourselves and feel surprisingly more dreadful than previously. Does this sound somewhat well-known? I've learned through long stretches of attempting and coming up short that I am substantially more liable to succeed on the off chance that I ease the heat off myself in the event that I don't make a guarantee. Be that as it may, how is it I accomplish all that I need to? The mystery is to do it by setting a goal. A goal is not the same as an intention... A goal is stating you will do your absolute best, and on the off chance that you tumble off the wagon, or have a terrible day on the eating routine you will get back on it the exceptionally following day. You get back on it since you don't feel remorseful, or like a disappointment and subsequently, you are substantially more prone to be benevolent to yourself, dust yourself off and refocus.

My customers accomplish their fantasies... Since they figure out how to set goals, how to be kinder to themselves and stop "I should've" everywhere. They figure out how to commit errors and approve of that – they discover that they are human and not immaculate and in acknowledging and relinquishing compulsiveness they discover satisfaction with themselves and astonishment shock they accomplish what they needed and that's only the tip of the iceberg. So why not give it a go – set expectations rather than goals this New Year. It's not too simple to do and you'll most likely still should all over yourself, yet with the help it is feasible. We should get you to where you long for being without an objective insight – sound great? I did it without defining manmade objectives or goals thus, can you too! I prayed a whole lot during my journey and to be perfectly honest I follow God’s lead and not goals!

Chapter 6: Can Blogging Help Your Business? I began blogging in November of 2014 and have not stopped since I began. Blogging can get information out there others may be afraid of posting on their webpage and to be quite honest I want to share the truth as I research it. People need to hear and be able to read the truth which may or may not be known. News always reports negative stories and you may think that truth articles or as some call them ‘conspiracy theories’ needs to be known. I have noticed that even when you have citations and report certain stories many are afraid of even recognizing them as news. I find blogging to be more than news and whatever I post I get directly from God and He leads me to places and I go their and I write about what I read and I also try and find scientific evidence which may or may not still not be proving anything. The most remarkable miracle I am seeing is how God delivers to others around the world and they take what I write which I don’t think is good at all, but they take it and make it where others can see and hear about testimonies of many people around the world actually doing what I write. The most remarkable thing is how God gets others involved in what I blog or write and it then becomes a team blogging effort. They pick up from where I come from and actually get testimonies proving what I write to be legitimate.

It is quite sad, many believe what the news reports say about Trump always to be true but don’t believe that prescription drugs are the cause of many of our problems in this world. I don’t know it all and never will say that I do, but I do know one thing, “It is time for the people to know the truth which has been suppressed for way too long and I am delivering the news as God gives to me. I get most of what I write in my sleep and when I wake up God leads me directly to where I can read and write as I understand it.” Can blogging actually help your business? I believe there are benefits in blogging and blogging can help promote your business or products. Let’s take a look my Swedish Posture Team! Swedish Posture has Inspiration blogs, Evidence blogs, Experts/testimonies blogs, videos and just information for your organization, etc. Now who would not find a blog titled, "Why your posture could be damaging your career," interesting?

Here is the Swedish Posture Vertical Backpack Idea I came up with which is now part of the Swedish Posture Sweden team with over 200 investors involved. A backpack with a unique carrying system for better posture and free moving shoulders. ● A revolutionized carrying system: Posture Vertical Carrying System ● Features: Bottle holder, Trolley holder, Roll-top, Computer compartment, Usb-charger and many different pockets. ● All weight balance on the sternum instead of the shoulders – better for posture and back. Velcro closure. ● Ergonomic – the weight distributed more balanced ● Reduces neck- and back pain by not distributing all the weight on the shoulders ● Makes the weight feel lighter. ● 38 Liters, Water resistant material.

I learned through the experience of just doing it and being born with scoliosis that posture plays an important role in healing and/or helping us to manage disease. What better way than blogging to promote your team’s business promoting wellbeing and how important posture is for healing? It is because of when I was a kid being born with Scoliosis and the doctors told my parents I would have limitations in ROM (Range of Motion) activities which was totally wrong and by me participating in tumbling and gymnastics it actually helped me not to be in as much pain as a I grow older. Tumbling saved my life you could say! Kids don’t have pity parties like we adults do sometimes which only make things worse if you ask me. I have found that pain relieves pain and when I have nerve pain, I do something about and not sit around feeling sorry for myself and I exercise and walk quite a lot and this helps tremendously. I am 65, became medication free in 2010 and don’t have high blood pressure, heart problems, etc. and feel great most of the time and when I don’t I go walking with Mother Nature. Long story short I took the Virgin Business Startup Business Plan that had a protocol of being under 30 years of age and you had to be from the UK and turned it into my own 17 page business plan and the rest is history. If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later! - Richard Branson

Chapter 7: What is Business Blogging? Blogging can be like a marketing channel just like many social media platforms, direct mail, email marketing, etc. and can help support business growth and also help with business sells. Let us take a look at what blogging actually can do for your business. It took for me to fail in my travel business to begin blogging and now I have so many blogs I forgot I had done most of them. I always look for something bigger than myself and this is when and why I began blogging. It allowed me to express myself in some and in others to put important stuff out there that I found interesting and I keep track of what people like and also keep track of what many don't like to read. I don't stop writing stuff that I don't see people reading ever, but what I will do I will tweak it and repost it and it works every time! If you have a small business blogging can help your business to compete. While there are many other small businesses out there doing the same thing you are, why not do something they are not and this is blogging? Blogging is a way to put your

personality out there with the information you find that may be interesting to others to read and research for themselves even further. Blogging can also cause a team whirlpool and this to me is I write, you pick up where I wrote and a vicious positive cycle begins where we all are helping one another and working together as a team. I do not care what anybody says testimonies are all the scientific evidence you need. I really do believe what drew investors toward my direction is my dedication in blogging and did I ever blog? Every time God gave me a vision I was blogging and before you knew it I had hundreds of blogs all over the place, some good and some not so good! What Is Business Blogging? Business blogging is a promoting strategy that utilizes blogging to get your business progressively online perceivability. That definition brings up two issues: What is "blogging," however? Regardless I don't have a clue what blogging is! I don't get your meaning by "online perceivability"? How about we begin with inquiry number one. Blogging is the demonstration of making short-structure content. A "blog entry," is presented on your site's "blog" - a piece of your site where you house those posts. For instance, you are as of now perusing a blog entry - a bit of short-structure content that has been posted on a blog. I began with WordPress and I still do not know what I am doing but I just did the blogs until I can learn the right way later like Richard Bransonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quote state! It's additionally imperative to take note of that when you're working together blogging, your blog entries are about a specific topic identified with your business. For example, HubSpot is an inbound advertising stage, so our blog discusses inbound promoting points - utilizing Facebook and Twitter for business, email showcasing, business blogging, and so on. Your business blog will discuss topics that are identified with your business. Presently on to address number two - characterizing "online perceivability." Online perceivability is actually what it sounds like - having the capacity to be found and seen on the web. This could mean your business springs up a ton in web search tools, via web-based networking media, on other individuals' online journals as a visitor essayist, and so forth. Business blogging is one approach to help get your business out before individuals searching for your items or administrations on the web.

How Is Business Blogging Different From Regular Blogging? A lot of individuals have individual online journals, or even sites that acquire cash through selling advertisement space. In any case, business blogging is unique in relation to the majority of that, in light of the fact that your blog is neither 1) a side interest, in the same way as other individuals' close to home online journals, nor 2) the essential way your business profits - on the grounds that hell, by then your blog is only your whole business! Rather, a business blog is an advertising channel (simply like internet based life, post office based mail, email showcasing, and so on.) that helps bolster business development. It does that by directing people to your site and giving chances to that traffic to change over somehow or another. Traffic for different organizations may change over in an unexpected way - some mean to transform traffic into prompts hand over to a business group, others may plan to change over traffic into clients through an online exchange - at the end of the day, business blogging will start transformations that drive more business. I recently began as a contributor blogger for Arianna Huffingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thrive Global. She wants me to strictly contribute wellbeing blogs and sometimes I get a bit carried away and think I am doing a research paper which gets rejected but I have learned that rejection is a stepping stone toward greatness when we do not fear but try and we can only try and the only thing that can go wrong is that we are rejected. Does this stop me from writing what I want to write, NO! I use other platforms to display my writing and one time I submitted a story which was rejected and decided to submit it to my Confidence is Beautiful Bloggers page and got many likes on Facebook where I then shared it to another page of mine called, Inspiration and Motivational Instances, Quotes, etc. page on the Facebook platform which I have many different pages which I pray one day will also become books for you to enjoy. I consider any writing I do as business and I firmly believe that people see that I consistently serious about getting the message out to the world in writing or blogging which will drive peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curiosity and want to know more about me. What I also love about Richard Branson at Virgin Unite is how they have many contributing blogs on many world issues and wellbeing motivation which makes for good reading and which makes for good business marketing also. I am learning from the best of the best and also another reason I chose Richard Branson to be my mentor.

The Benefits of Business Blogs for Marketing To begin with, in the event that you don't have a clue what a business blog is, this post, "What Is Business Blogging? [FAQs]" ought to get you modern. (What's more, on the off chance that you've as of late begun your business, look at this thorough guide on the best way to begin a business, including promoting, deals, and client administration tips.) In agreement? Cool. How about we proceed onward to why you should utilize blogging as an advertising strategy. 1) It causes direct people to your site. Raise your hand in the event that you need more site guests. No doubt, me as well. Presently consider the manners in which individuals discover your site: They could type your name directly in to their program, yet that is a group of people you as of now have. They know your identity, you're on their radar, and that doesn't enable you to get more traffic over what you're now getting. You could pay for traffic by purchasing an email list (don't you dare!), impacting them, and trusting a few people open and navigate on the messages. In any case, that is costly and, you know, unlawful. You could pay for traffic by setting huge amounts of paid promotions, which isn't illicit, yet at the same time very costly. What's more, the second you come up short on cash, your traffic quits coming, as well. Things being what they are, how might you drive any traffic? In short: blogging, online

life, and web search tools. Here's the manner by which it works. Consider what number of pages there are on your site. Most likely not a ton, correct? Furthermore, consider how regularly you update those pages. Most likely not that frequently, correct? (How regularly can you truly refresh your About Us page, you know?) All things considered, blogging takes care of both of those issues. Each time you compose a blog entry, it's one more recorded page on your site, which implies it's one greater open door for you to appear in web search tools and direct people to your site in natural hunt. We'll get into a greater amount of the advantages of blogging on your SEO somewhat later, but at the same time it's one more sign to Google and other web indexes that your site is dynamic and they ought to check in every now and again to perceive what new substance to surface. Blogging likewise encourages you get found by means of internet based life. Each time you compose a blog entry, you're making content that individuals can share on informal organizations - Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest - which causes open your business to another gathering of people that may not know you yet. Blog content likewise helps prop your web based life nearness up - rather than asking your internet based life supervisor to concoct fresh out of the box new unique substance for web based life (or making that content yourself), your blog can fill in as that vault of substance. You're fortifying your social reach with blog substance and driving new site guests to your blog through your social channels. A significant harmonious relationship, in the event that I do say so myself. Anyway, the principal advantage of blogging? It causes drive new traffic to your site and works intimately with web crawlers and internet based life to do that. For what reason Should Businesses Blog? This could be a whole blog entry of its own, however, I'll attempt to keep this brief, if just to help better characterize what business blogging is. To make your site a profitable showcasing resource, you need individuals to really observe it. Other than individuals simply composing in your site's URL (which is quite improbable to occur for most organizations), there are many ways individuals can see your site - and one major way your site can be found is through web crawlers.

The more pages your site has, the more possibilities you need to rank in web crawlers. The issue is, you would prefer only not to hurl irregular pages all over your site. That would be a horrible client experience, and your site would rapidly turn into all-out wreckage. Business blogging is an answer to that problem. Each time you post another blog entry on your site, you have another site page on your site, and it's everything housed under your blog so your site doesn't get jumbled with pages here, there, and all over the place. In this way, every time you distribute a blog entry and make another page, you make one greater open door for your website to rank in look and show up for the inquiries individuals are going into web crawlers. So when somebody asks Google something like, "how to produce leads on Facebook," ideally one of HubSpot's blog entries will appear! (Also, it does - we at present hold positions 1, 2, and 3 for that seek term, two of which are blog entries.) You can apply this rationale to other computerized channels, as well. For example, each time you distribute another blog entry, it's one greater open door for somebody to share that post via web-based networking media, getting it out before another gathering of people. It's likewise one greater open door for another site to connect to your post, giving you some extraordinary SEO juice. To put it plainly, business blogging is a minimal effort approach to make changes to get your site found by the general population that you need to discover it, so you can produce new leads and clients for your business. Does this make any sense? I trust so. Presently ... time to get blogging!

Chapter 8: Let Go & Let God If you remember me speaking about one of my mentors and friends, Neil Patel, who follows me around and sends me lots of emails which are hard to understand and have yet to understand, but I think I am beginning to learn the logic of SEO. Well, when it comes to blogging this word SEO pops into my brain and makes me think of Neil Patel. Well, though I have tried practicing what he preaches I still am pretty uneducated when it comes to SEO which by the way stands for Search Engine Optimization and not too many people can say that they spent no money on advertising yet are reaching an audience I tend to believe in myself and God is showing me ways you would not believe to make my stuff reach yet I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the SEO lingo stuff.

My mentor and friend Neil Patel explains how he increased his traffic by 193% in one year without spending a single dollar on advertising. He goes on to say, "If you think that is impressive, just look at my Google search rankings. Not only do I rank #1 for "online marketing" (one of the most competitive search terms), I also rank #2. Also not many people can say that they reach on a difficult online marketing in English speaking countries. Neil says that he is ranking for top marketing terms in languages like Portuguese in Brazil, where you do not even speak the language. How is this even possible you may ask and I ask too! All I can say is that anything is possible when you believe and have faith in what you are doing is for the world’s betterment and God will see you through anything! Neil shows all these traffic reports and I still do not understand what they mean and what I see is a bunch of numbers and to me numbers have never really meant anything but what I do believe is that if one single person sees what you put out there and they like it that word of mouth works too! I have begun noticing what Neil Patel is speaking about and how people are Googling me! So, after all this is said and done, “Neil, sure I would love more traffic and who would not want especially for getting the Swedish Posture Vertical Backpack out there and getting sales! I am not the one who loves winning all of the time but I do love learning and outperforming when it comes to knowledge and having all of these educated people in my path that God as sent to me, but I don't know everything and I guess this is why God sent you to me. Thanks Neil Patel and looking forward to meeting you one day so you can explain this SEO stuff to me in person and maybe I will understand better then! lol I probably know more than I think but still it has been a great pleasure learning about SEO and learning how to get my stuff out there as a household name like you have with some of the big brands around the world like Yahoo, Google, GM, NBC, Ebay, Intuit, Facebook, airbnb, Viacom, Thomson Reuters, Salesforce, etc.” I decided to let go and let God guide me through my journey and the people He will take away and the ones He will put into your life is a story in itself. - Valerie Cheers Brown

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process of me. - Colleen Atwood Chapter 9: Inspiration Comes From Everywhere

God has way of making incredible things happen! When God sends you the people you are called to be with you will know. These people will not speak to your flesh but to your spirit and it almost seems like they come after you have already done something you didn't even know that you have done which is not easy, but you did it because you worked so hard like it already yours. You will experience something with these people that you have never experienced before in your life. These people will come to you as if you have known them forever in ways that other people didn't. Wait. It will be so worth it when you meet these incredible God chosen people. Never settle for less than what God has for your life. Did you know that inspiration comes from everywhere. You can’t wait to be motivated but when you put your faith in God, He sends inspiration through all kinds of people, places & even things. I know and have experienced things which I consider to be phenomenal and can only be because of God’s doing. I will take a break from writing and go onto Facebook and wouldn’t you know it God has somebody waiting for me. Speaking of Facebook, who is Mark Zuckerberg?

Who doesn’t know who Mark Zuckerberg is? Mark Zuckerberg is Facebook and I do not know what I would do without the platform of Facebook. I have learned so much and there is a whole lot I have yet to learn and will be so happy to put faces with real people soon! I wrote a story called, Second Time Around which tells somewhat my dream story of what is to come and I started something and you know what they say, “Don’t start something you cannot finish!” Well, the joke is on me and I said that my man was all different characters on Facebook so even though I do know which are him I will keep it a secret that I know when it is him. And sometimes I get a bit cranky and frustrated and unfriend you, I hope you know how much I love you regardless you never come on and say it is you sometimes! So, yes, you are right I have got to finish what I started and thanks to Mark for allowing us to use our Team Facebook as our chat platform for staying in communication with each other through music, beautiful pics and posts! I miss you so much and will be glad when this book comes out and then maybe Second Time Around can have and ending! I know love stories never have endings but this one will and we will go out with a bang and finally get up off of Facebook so much! I have been a member of Facebook since 2009 and the great thing about Facebook is all of the memories that the our Facebook Team keep and from time to time remind you of memories. I have been working very hard on Facebook and have produced so much stuff that I didn’t even know I had published all of this stuff on Facebook that could be turned into books also. Besides Confidence is Blogging where I share some of the blogs I have done which have been doing them since 2014, Tag, You're It Stories, Impulse The Writers, Folks With Words, Daily Words and Inspiration, Tank The Helpful Dinosaur Books, 2nd Time Around ( a music page I began dedicating songs to my friend for life, Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey, Believe it and Receive It Inspirational Quotes, Inspirational and Motivational Instances, Etc., Till Life Do Us Part (Another page dedicated to my friend for life) and I Think It Should Be a Movie (where I from time to time write or share things I think would be good ideas for documentaries or actual movies. There have been many documentaries that have happened because of the research which I have done and shared with the world through published papers which can be found on Academia.edu. There is a section called Notes on Facebook where stories can be found. If there were a Guiness Book of World Records for a person belonging to groups, I think I may just may make it and I don’t know how many groups I belong to but I know it is quite a lot and music is my medication and so, I love belonging to many music groups which have become a very big thing on Facebook right now. My main music page out of England is Music Spins The Planet and thanks to Alan McDonnell my right hand friend who keeps

us abreast to the latest unheard, new and just good music popping from around the world. My friends in Amsterdam, Netherlands, (Trance) Fab van der Meer Owner and Founder of Trance keeps us to date with music from around the world. We just keep all kinds of positive energy moving on Facebook and all of my music friends who make the music possible are just too many to mention but I will mention a few: Bert Culter from Germany who never fails telling me good morning and goodnight has to be the greatest. My friend Wayne Ross with the beautiful pics, posts and music cannot be forgotten and is a beautiful man who respects his beautiful women. My friend Iman Fouad, who is a photographer who makes her work of art available which puts a smile on my face even though I cannot read her native language I love and adore. There are so many people on Facebook who make my day so much brighter and I want to say thank you to all of you! Sonya Murphy who is the hostess with the mostest and she knows how to rock a Funk party and keep the party alive on our Phillip Colley aka Philly Phil Tuesday night Funk Bus Party where we are keeping Funk Alive and so deserves much recognition for so many legends have left us can never be forgotten thanks to Phillip and many others who are now coming on board with Funk Radio Shows! I don’t know if these are real people but whoever they are I love them all. I love you Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey for showing me love in your own way a whole lots of ways on Facebook and you cannot fool me ;) lol I am grateful, thankful and very blessed for all the love on Facebook for which Team Facebook allows us to provide! I don’t have to tell anybody who Mark Zuckerberg and we all know who this incredible person is and I must say thank you Mark for all that Facebook offers, for all the help you are giving, for cutting me off when I do too much, for letting me work like a plumb fool and I don’t care who likes what I do and it has never stopped me from working away and for this I thank you Team Facebook! Second Time Around will be the first magazine love story book coming soon and ISSUU are my editors and publishing family!

Who is Susie Moore?

Susie Moore is a life coach whose teachings span a global client base and are regularly featured in leading media outlets.

It seems like I have known Susie all of my life the way she comes on when I engage and thanks me and says something uplifting. I take a hint from God that the ones He has chosen for me who pretty much answer me when I say something or engage on their posts or for me to pay attention to.

Susie Moore shared five reasons you must share your message and work far and wide that I love and want to share with you. These are her exact words and no paraphrasing here! 1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun! Doing what you love to do is invigorating, a lot of the time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like work and

could be the most joy you ever experience. What’s more important than this? 2. The universe supports you When you reach and serve others with your work, you tap into something greater than you. The universe wants you to use your unique talents and supports you when you do. Opportunities unfold. It’s just your job to keep taking the next step and letting more and more people discover what you have to offer the world. 3. Creativity, ideas and energy FLOW When we share our important message, we connect with our divine source. And our gifts, even if we have not used them in years, never leave us. We just need to channel them. I had always loved reading personal development books, and sharing what I'd learned with friends, family and anyone who'd listen. But for almost 12 years I wrote nothing more than the emails in my job. When I did write my first media piece as a contributor, I wrote about scaling back and learning to say no (something I really believe in) and the words came. It was published on MindBodyGreen and was shared by over 3,600 people. My articles and advice have continued to flow ever since, so long as I sit down with my laptop and coffee – in media outlets such as Marie Claire, the BBC, Forbes, Refinery29, Inc., Oprah.com and Entrepreneur. 4. You live an honest life Nothing is more important than being who you are here to be - it is your only true obligation to yourself and to the world. If you approach it with commitment and an open heart, the rewards will come. In her book titles Regrets of The Dying, Bronnie Ware, a hospice nurse, says many of the patients she nursed in their final days regretted most that they lived a life other people expected of them and not the life that they truly wanted to live. When we use our talents and step up in service to more and more people, we don’t leave room for regret. 5. You can take baby steps — every single stride forward counts

Imagine if your favorite coach, mentor, musician, author, inventor, chef, athlete or architect didn’t come into your life. Your life wouldn’t be as great, right? When you allow people to discover you who need what you can offer them, you’re improving their lives, too. You are in fact being selfish when you play small and don’t share your gifts with others. Whether it's advice, a service or a product, there are people all around the world that need you. With love, Susie Xo She fills my email box up with inspirational and motivational messages and one in particular that I truly love which makes me know I am on the right road is the “Overnight Rockstar” webinar and what is the best part is sometimes the webinar is no longer there and I take this as a positive from God that I am on the right road to success and this is just a hint of what to come! Thanks Susie Moore and I look forward to giving you a really big hug soon! What inspires you? I can become inspired by so many things and my favorite is when I go walking and just hearing the birds sing, the sun shine, a cloudy day even, when it is raining and the trees, Oh, how I love the trees and when I go walking I feel like I can do and be anything. I challenge myself and this is inspiration for me like going up a steep incline while walking and if I can do it without getting tired I know that I must be living right and in pretty good shape. I am work in progress and must learn to quit some things still but in the meantime, it is inspiration like this that reassures my mind that I am okay! Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. - Mahatma Gandhi I wholeheartedly believe Buddha's quote: What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract and what you imagine, you create. I know because it is happening to me right now!

Who is Dan Lok?

I also know that Dan is a mentor or an angel God has put into my path and this came to me from Dan, "Why I Choose To Believe in You, Even if No One Else Does!" “Dan came to North America at the age of 14, with no money, no connections, and not a word of the English language on his lips. Growing up, Dan watched a lot of Bruce Lee movies and was inspired by the strong father figure he didn’t have. because of Dan’s love of martial arts, he decided he wanted to be a martial arts instructor. But he saw that he wouldn’t be able to make enough money to support his mom. So he started his first business in high school. And when that business failed, he started another one. Eventually he started and failed 13 different businesses and went $150,000 in debt. But Dan knew he couldn’t give up. He would do whatever it takes to buy his mom a house. And he knew it would take years to make enough money working in a job to pay off that massive debt. So he kept going. And eventually, he found his first success because of his first mentor, Alan Jacques. Dan had the resources and money to take care of his mom after she sacrificed everything for him. And now Dan is on a mission. A mission to help others live life on their own terms. Create a legacy. Contribute to their communities and help others. And give them the tools to create their own life by design. And after 10 years of silence after writing his breakthrough best-selling book, F.U. Money, Dan has created what he calls his life’s best work. Dan’s new book is called, Unlock It. It is everything you need to know to create all the abundance you need, and will give you the step-by-step formula to never have to rely on anyone else for money again. I cannot

wait to meet you Dan Lok and thank you for the inspiration you share on Facebook that lifts me up and helps to know that I am on the right track to success!” What you don’t know can hurt you. - Dan Lok I get inspiration from my everyday life: Wherever you go, the neighborhood shop, watching a movie in Netflix, the town hall meeting, even the base of your walk can be a wellspring of motivation. It can hit us when we wouldn't dare hoping anymore. What number of have had a thought amidst the night? I think that it’s convenient to convey a note pad with me. I additionally have the notes application on my telephone in the event that I stall out, and I will, in general, have Word open out of sight at work, just in the event that I consider anything, at that point, I can make myself a snappy note. For me actually, one of the best wellsprings of motivation is different essayists. I'm not discussing story thoughts precisely, yet the motivation to write as a rule. I read a ton, and when I read something that truly impacts me, I end up in an incredible mental state to compose. I feel empowered and enthused. I need to have the capacity to compose like that individual, make a world the manner in which they created, a scene that unique. It feels magnificent to be roused. What inspires or moves you? In the event that you are struggling, pause for a moment to check out you. Take in your environment. Where are you? Would this make a decent setting for a story? You can take a gander at the individual at the following table over. Attempt and think about such individual's reality. What are they considering? Where have they originated from? Where are they going? You can give them an entire backstory. Inspiration truly is all over and it is up to you to motivate yourself. We simply need to open our eyes, our ears, and our brains. Let’s talk inspiration and when I hear the word inspiration it comes to Jack Canfield who is the originator of the blockbuster Chicken Soup for the Soul series who co-authors with Mark Vincent Hansen. I have followed Jack Canfield and though could never afford to attend any of his camps I can still listen to his many inspirational videos and read his books! What better mentor to follow than the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, which has more than 200 titles and over 500 million copies in print in well over 40 different languages. in 2008 the founders sold the company to a new ownership group led by William J. Rouhana and Robert D. Jacobs. Since then all new titles, have

been published by Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC and distributed by Simon & Schuster.

Who is Jack Canfield? Well, he is one of my favorite mentors who when I see anything with his name on it reminds me to get back to writing a book about my story! Behind the empire, Time Magazine called the "distributing wonder of the decade" is America's driving master in making top execution for business visionaries, corporate pioneers, administrators, deals experts, corporate representatives, and teachers. In the course of the most recent 30 years, his convincing message, enabling vitality and affable training style has helped a huge number of people accomplish their fantasies. Lovingly known as "America's #1 Success Coach," Jack has contemplated and given an account of what makes fruitful individuals unique. He realizes what persuades them, what drives them, and what moves them. He brings this basic understanding to endless crowds globallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sharing his prosperity procedures in the media, with organizations, colleges and expert affiliations. Jack is a Harvard graduate with a Master's Degree in mental training and one of the most punctual bosses of pinnacle execution, creating explicit techniques and resultsarranged exercises to help individuals take on more prominent difficulties and produce leap forward outcomes. His demonstrated recipe for progress achieved worldwide approval with his latest National Bestseller, The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where

You Want to Be. This new standard in personal development contains 64 incredible standards for progress used by top achievers from varying backgrounds and all zones of trade. The Success Principles — and the whole domain of "Standards" books, items, instructing programs and marked retail stock — is Jack's latest offering to the in excess of 100 million perusers he at present achieves around the world.

My favorite book written by Jack Canfield is "The Success Principles: How to get from where you are to where you want to be." The book title speaks for itself doesn't it? The book has taught me about having more confidence in myself working hard consistently living with passion and purpose and loving what you do as a profession. It is a pretty big read which shows over 60 principles and strategies which you can use in our own life. He shows how anything you want to be or do can be done when you do it good when you want to work for yourself and others will want to work with you. It is hard writing about yourself and it seems you forget the things that make you who you are and God gives all of these amazing angels to you to remind you it is not about you but something way bigger than yourself. My inbox is full of Jack Canfield and like I told you previously, I take these messages from God that I am on the right track and that these are the people who are supposed to be in your life right now at this moment. I listen to Jack quite often and make time for all of my mentors and am often reminded when I don’t listen enough through all of those emails! It is so nice to be loved and Jack Canfield is one that I truly love what he is doing and the co-authoring is intriguing to me and it would seem two heads are better than one with Jack! What better way to get your name out there co-authoring with a famous bestselling author? My favorite book is Chicken Soup for the Coffee Lovers which my brother in law gave to me one Christmas! It was so funny how the Turkish Law made a law where a married woman could divorce her husband if he did not give her enough coffee for the day! Wow, huh? Lol I have prayed and prayed that God will grant me the opportunity to co-author with Jack Canfield and I am claiming this opportunity in the Name of Jesus right now! I look forward to working with you Jack and thank you for all the inspiration through the years of my journey to success. I have accomplished quite a lot by sticking by God first but by listening to my mentors has helped me increasingly be able to write this book! I thought I was procrastinating, but that was not what it was at all. It was waiting on

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timing and it has made this book possible and I thank Him for all the wonderful and incredible people who are a part of my new life now making my dreams come true!

I was volunteering one day at the Saint Louis Public Library downtown, Government Information Dept. and came across the Civil War. I went even further to see a Colonel Baxter who had invented a knapsack for the soldiers during the Civil War. What got my attention was the idea of the knapsack not just being for carrying but it also addressed posture. Posture is underrated and many don't realize how important a role the posture plays in our lives and wellbeing. I went on to explore the knapsack this Colonel had invented and the idea popped into my mind about how being a gymnast when a kid saved my life and posture had a big role in saving my life from becoming crippled as I got older. I was born with scoliosis which is an S curve in the spine and as a child, I actually looked like I was a bit pregnant and my stomach protruded due to the spine pushing into it. Anyway, I had great parents who allowed me to be a kid even when the doctors said I would not be able to participate in sports and gym. I thought this would be the end of the world when the doctors told me and my parents this, but thank God, my parents did not go for that and allowed me to be active as a child should be when a kid. I showed interest in tumbling and became pretty good at it. Now, remember the doctors had told my parents that I would not be able to do the things which I was doing. I was participating and winning so many ribbons that my coach told me that the Olympics

were coming to watch our competition and I was one of the chosen ones to go away to get better for competition, but unfortunately, my dad was not having this! I was doing things that the doctors said I would never be able to do and just to show what I was doing was competition on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercises. The floor exercises were very hard but I maintained and got so good that the Olympics wanted me. I say, "It was once a dream," because I did the opposite of what doctors said I would not be able to do and I thank God because today, as an adult, I really don't have too many issues besides nerve pain like others I see during my generation who are using canes, walkers or even in wheelchairs from degenerative disease which gets worse as we get older if we are not active. I take away from this story by saying as my dad told me before he died, "If I was good enough then, I am even better right now at my age and I can do anything if I put my mind to it regardless of what others say I cannot do." Going back to the backpack idea, I cherish because posture is very important and if corrected before it gets worse you can learn like I am to manage the pain and not allow the pain to manage your life. You have to remain active and as we get older you must change your lifestyle and walk more, eat proper sustenance and not sit too long or do one thing too long because you will become stiff and this can cause more problems as we get into our more seasoned age. I love nature and I believe that trees and God's creations play a big part in my life being spared as I get older. I love walking and sometimes I may have some nerve pain, I still walk and when I get back it not only helps me to feel better but I sleep better too. So, this backpack vision means the world to me and if I can do this you can do anything you believe in that will help save our world's disability rate by creating something we all can use at any age to remind us to stand up straight. I am now a partner with the Swedish Posture Team out of Sweden, a place I love writing about Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare system takes care of everyone no matter who you are and wellbeing is very important to this country and I fell in love with them and have many blogs regarding them and their wellbeing .

They also reduce neck and back pain keeping your shoulders aligned. They also can be used at the office, home or during a workout. Remember: Use 1-3 hours at a time, over clothes.

It comes with: A posture vertical carrying system, bottle holder, trolly holder you can attach to luggage, roll-top, computer compartment, USB charger, and many different pockets. With this backpack, the weight balance is on the sternum instead of the shoulders which is much better for your posture and back. All of our products are ergonomic weight distributed for more balanced reducing neck and back pain by not distributing all the weight on the shoulders. I am excited about my working and partnering with my Swedish Posture Team and thank them for making my dreams come true. To all of our investors, thank you so much for making my dream come true. In conclusion, according to the OECD Better Life Index: Sweden ranks above the average in all dimensions: environmental quality, civic engagement, education and skills, work-life balance, health status, subjective well-being, income and wealth, jobs and earnings, housing, personal safety, and social connections. So you may see why this backpack means the world to me and Sweden set the bar for my vision becoming a reality. My inner wisdom always guides me in the right direction. - Valerie Cheers Brown

Chapter 15: My Top 10 Rules To Success

#1 I am not self-serving. I am a good servant to God. – Nobody achieves anything beneficial on his/her own. Awesome managers center around giving the apparatuses and preparing to enable their representatives to better carry out their employment/jobs and accomplish their own particular objectives. Individuals who truly adore serving others put individuals’ needs first because they love what they do. Awesome organizations make a special effort to help and serve the clients however in the event that you need your clients to be number one you should regard your workers as the main need and the rest will be history. You will start accepting good customer experience letters, calls, etc. hearing great things about great client encounters and to me, this is absolutely critical for a fruitful organization! What’s more, subsequently, they receive the benefits. In case you’re in it just for yourself, at that point some time or another you will be just that, by yourself. In case you’re in it for others, you’ll not just make progress but success follows and others will want to be a part of your great organization. Serving others whether you believe it or not can get you noticed and who doesn’t like to be surprised with some good news every once in a while?

#2 I may not be the first but I will be your last- Achievement is regularly the aftereffect of diligence. When others surrender, leave, quit attempting, or trade off their standards and qualities, the last individual left is frequently the individual who wins. Other individuals might be more astute, better associated, more capable, or better supported. Be that as it may, they can’t win in the event that they aren’t around toward the end. Once in a while, it bodes well to abandon thoughts, extends, and even organizations – yet it never bodes well to abandon yourself. You can simply be the last to surrender of never giving up.

#3 I will complete one thing consistently that nobody else will do and this may mean doing many different things but doing one all the time and do not be afraid of trying new things even if they don’t make sense and if you love what you do just keep pursuing and you can only get better by being liberating to try anything. Regardless of whether it’s basically basic don’t be afraid of trying an arena of things and if somebody offers you an opportunity even if you don’t fit the so-called protocol never be afraid of doing it anyway. Regardless of whether it’s little. Complete one thing consistently and move to something else. Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success by John Wooden says, “Remember, results aren’t the criteria for success — it’s the effort made for achievement that is most important.” “Sincerity may not help us make friends, but it will help us keep them.” Following seven days, you’ll be remarkable. Following multi-month, you’ll be exceptional. Following multi-year, you will be exceptional. Before you know it, you will have done so much you will forget what you have not tried but you did and you might find out that you had another talent you never knew you could even do! #4 Opportunity never thumps on the door and you got to go out all the way and reach for it, go for it if you want somebody knocking on your door – You got the opportunity to trust in making your own chances happen! Opportunity never thumps on anybody’s door, it never calls, and it never comes to spend the night. On the off chance that you need a seat you got the opportunity to take it and get things stirred up and not look out for others to get it going! You are not qualified for anything throughout everyday life but rather in the event that you need it, you got the opportunity to chase to see what each open door has to offer and even if you don’t understand why it is there and it is a great

chance to take a risk, just do it. When I began blogging, I did what every other person does. I found a place to have it in WordPress, and I composed the best blog entry I could. Much the same as each other blog, no one was reading it – they had no motivation to, and there are millions of bloggers and they couldn’t discover it inside the torrential slide of online journals/blogs on the Internet regardless of whether they needed to or not. Rather than sticking around, I began sending those blogs in other directions. I’m an expert blogger not as a result of the web blogs I compose, but rather due to the messages and I ask lots of questions and I have many Facebook pages and began posting them say for example on my Confidential is Beautiful Bloggers page and did not stop there and began posting them on other pages like my Tag, You’re It page, and did not stop there and began posting them even on my Music Spins the Planet Page. I tried reaching on all of the pages I thought would reach not only music lovers but people who loved inspirational quotes, readings, and beautiful pictures. I belong to, which last time I counted, was over 400 groups on Facebook! Even if it a page for music only don’t be afraid to change the pace and exploit by putting something which not only would be standing alone but a be the courageous one who challenges on a page which has rules which to me are for only breaking! lol #5 Be satisfied with where you are right now – You can have all of the money in the world and still not be where you should be! Your quality of life you live isn’t defined by what you own or how high up the ladder you have climbed. I have seen people remain on one job for the rest of their life, retired and then die! Why do something for thirty years that you hate and then expect when you retire to be glorious days because it won’t happen, it just won’t happen! I want to be able to do what I love for as long as God allows me to live and be happy doing because loving what you do is important and not retirement if it means going backward and living off of a monthly salary for the rest of your life. No, this is not what living means to me and instead of retiring, I am refiring and doing what I love until I die and able to live the way I want to for the rest of my life. No matter where you are in life, you must strive for quality experiences for those around you! It will never matter whether you are CEO or window washer. Success is defined by how much you love what you do and how complacent you are with where you are. #6 Respect is just not something people give to you because you are a millionaire or a

poor person – I have heard all of my life that respect is earned. Are you really entitled to respect if you don’t treat people the way you want to be treated? I don’t care who you are if you throw your weight or title around on people and expect them to do as you say because of who you think you are, forget it. Respect does fall out of the sky nor does run rapidly and will never come from your title so stop expecting that it does! You have to listen to others, you must respect other’s space, respect other’s time, respect others as you would want them to respect you. Respect comes from your daily actions and the way you treat others with your smiles and attitude. People will respect that much quicker than because I am your superior you must do as I say attitude. Treat people exactly the way you want to be treated, no more, no less! The way you want to be talking to is the way you present yourself to them. Respect is the way you express your feelings to others and does not fall out of the sky. #7 Working hard toward success will pay off in the long run and won’t come overnight. The result comes much later. You got to work so hard as if you are already a millionaire and you have to be so hungry that you will work every chance you get! Have you ever heard somebody say, “If I get this promotion or new job I will work harder?” To me, this makes no sense and to get that job or promotion you must do this in the beginning. It is like when you show a child what hard works by showing them, they will most of the time be those kinds of workers when they get on the real job and how you were trained and I don’t care what anybody says, shows when your parents show what hard work looks like by doing it in your presence! Successful people get successes by first working hard when they are not making before they get what they deserve. Look at successful companies and do they first deliver great value before they earn higher revenue? No, and successful entrepreneurs earn bigger payoffs by first working hard before they get what they deserve and potential return is even in sight. Most people expect being compensated more before they do all the hard work but it does not work this way unless you want to live from the paycheck to paycheck kind of lifestyle. Ever heard somebody say, “If I got a promotion, at that point I would work harder”? Or on the other hand, “If the client paid all the more, at that point I would accomplish more”? Or then again, “In the event that I thought there would be a greater result, I would forfeit more”? Fruitful individuals gain advancements by first working harder. The vast majority hope to be

remunerated more before they will significantly think about working harder. #8 I trust I have a place in history – A fruitful individual knows their place in line and they are self-satisfied with it. You can influence your own history in just by not fearing to defy a wide range of guidelines. With time comes memory. Individuals do recollect what you improve the situation them and your activities regardless of to what extent prior will remain history to be gone down through the ages. In the event that you comprehend your place in line or history you are set up for enormity and will be recalled dependably. #9 If you don’t like what you are doing don’t be afraid to QUIT! #10 If you can’t stop thinking about what you love, keep doing it! If you can’t stop thinking about your job because you hate it, leave! There can be people on the job and I don’t care what people say, there are just some people you cannot ignore even if you try your most damn! If you get to the place you have nightmares or can’t stop thinking “If only I didn’t have to go there, you may want to reconsider keeping that job.” It is sad on every job there is the same type of people who think they know it all, follow the rules and never get anywhere or try to make you have a problem when it is them and their insecurities that you may want their job! Yes, it happens! I found out just how quickly you can make yourself sick and even depressed by talking about what they do on the job all of the time and the worst thing you can do is talk about negative things and you want to stay at your happy place and believe it or not this can come from being loved and giving love back by treating people the way you want to be treated! You can’t reach any goal by treading in that swimming pool and if you are going places you have to keep swimming and even if this means quitting to finding something you enjoy and love doing will set you on the right path. You will begin to go much further and not only go further but feel better and then you can look back and forward, giving yourself the confidence to keep swimming in that pool! Never let anybody nor any individual, and I don’t care who they are, on any job rob you of your mental peace for you are allowing others to cause you to lose strength and how can you become successful when you have no energy? Respect yourself enough to say, “I deserve peace,” and I deserve to walk away from people, places or things that prevent you from attaining it!

Chapter 16: Not Caring Who Gets The Credit If God calls you to something, He will equip you for it. - Charles F. Stanley When it comes to sharing ideas, I prayed and God showed me not to fear nor worry about who gets credit as long as He knows who is responsible for giving which means I don’t not worry about what others think and what matters is what God thinks and knows. I consider myself working for God on this journey of “Faith It Till I Make IT!” God gives me these visions and I do a bit of homework, research and then I just do them and you could say that some of my blogs are ‘dreams in a blog,’ or some way of sharing with the world my thoughts in a story form. I have had people approach and tell me even on social media, “Valerie, aren’t you worried about somebody stealing your ideas?” I have to smile when asked this and if they only knew that the only person I am concerned with pleasing is God and He gave to

me to give to the world, so this is what I have done and had to do in order for what I need comes back. This is where the quote I posted under this chapter title comes from by Pastor Charles Stanley, If God calls you to something, He will equip you for it. I have many visions but just to share a few I have shared on social media since about 2010 are as follows: Let me say this first: “A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit...It is amazing what you accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." Team Dabbawalla- I became interested in this team’s concept who are in Mumbai, India and the women prepare the meals and the men deliver them and the rest is history and we now have so many home delivered meals, ingredients, etc. right to your home. What does Dabbawalla mean? According to Wiki which I don’t care for using but will this time it means: A dabbawala; also spelled as dabbawalla or dabbawallah, (tiffin wallah in older sources); is a person in India, most commonly in Mumbai, who is part of a delivery system that collects hot food in lunch boxes from the residences of workers in the late morning, delivers the lunches to the workplace, predominantly using bicycles and the railway trains, and returns the empty boxes to the worker's residence that afternoon. They are also used by meal suppliers in Mumbai, where they ferry ready, cooked meals from central kitchens to the customers and back. In Mumbai, most office workers prefer to eat home-cooked food in their workplace rather than eat outside at a food stand or at a local restaurant, usually for reasons of taste and hygiene, hence the concept. A number of work-from-home women also supply such home-cooked meals, delivering through the dabbawala network. These are just a few of the meals that are now being delivered in the United States in our hometown, but so happy that somebody was reading my interests in the Dabbawalla lunches why I believed we could take this what they are doing and make it ours in the United States. Rochester, New York has been delivering meals for quite awhile I do believe since about about 1958 and if since they don’t have a lot of local big grocery chains in the actual city this would make since. I think they called them “Meals on Wheels” which is now being served for seniors and/or mentally challenged. I had written & suggested that somebody begin something like the Dabbawalla delivery meal concept but on a different wellbeing level of making available the ingredients needed to make a nourished and healthy meal like what they are doing in Mumbai and

now we have so many I cannot count them all. Here are just a few to mention and so happy to see an idea be turned into reality to help with our world’s wellbeing. “If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” ― George Bernard Shaw Team HelloFresh was founded in 2011 Team Blue Apron was founded in 2012 Team Plated was founded in 2012 Tean Home Chef was founded in 2013 Team Sun Basket was founded in 2014 Team Fretch founded in 2014 (So far as of April 30, 2019 raised $92, 408 from 248 investors and will still be pushing for Fretch every chance I get). Team Ample was founded in 2015 (Healthy Shake/Meal in a bottle, Keto, Plant Based & Vegan so far) but more to come (We/Team Ample raised $792,849 from 1242 investors on March 28, 2019 end date).

Itty Bitty Baby Clothing - Design by Val Go Green Products was meant for sustainable green products that will help the planet & with the bodies wellbeing and they will all be made with fabrics that feel good to a baby’s body as if somebody were holding the baby. I also thought about what about preemie’s and they are often forgotten about but I someday will work with this company and I also had my eye on the I love what Jessica Alba has done with the Honest Company & wrote to here about someday partnering with them and had written them and they told me they looked forward too. I wrote about when my niece Karry Lynn was born and she weighed 1 pound and even a Cabbage Patch diaper was too big for her and I thought what about preemies? I would love to be a part of something bigger than me and this is preemie baby clothing and have so many ideas. I had my eye on Canada for partnering and I also had my eye on Malta, Italy which is kind of far but I plan on visiting there one day and love how they believe in taking care of the people of their country and made me think about beautiful sustainable materials/fabric. I am seeing quite a lot preemie clothing companies now which is good and they were forgotten for a long time it would appear! I would love to be a part of a liner that could be placed inside of a cloth baby diaper that will absorb feces and urine which will give baby comfort until changed and diaper would turn a color letting mommy know baby

needs its diaper changed. This is just in the vision stage still but can become reality one day too! There is just so much I want to become a part of and now is my opportunity and the skies are only the limit if you allow because there are footprints on the moon and I intend on using my Virgin Unite discount for my first trip! ;) Lol

I have been blessed with illustrators and would like to say and a great big thank you to Ray Torres and Curtis Wilcox III and they have allowed me to use their work and they are helping in many great ways more than they realize and we are working as teams helping each other. I feel big things coming and let’s keep doing our thang! God has blessed me with photographers Iman Fouad on Facebook with her beautiful photographs! God has graced me with my friend Alexander Gyamfi Artwork from on Facebook. I have to say thank you to one of the most patient man I know and love so much and this is Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey, my friend for life and I know you and I know that a lot of this would not be happening if it were not for you also and thank you baby so much.

I have a page full of stories on Facebook which can be turned into short stories called, Tag, You’re It which are some true and some made up short stories with morals at the end of each one! Chapter 17: Our World is Better Off When You Don’t Quit You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. - Henry Ford I have seen everything recently which is quite disturbing from people dying way too young, to people relying upon man rather than God. Relational unions self-destructing.

Individuals playing the blame game and people complaining rather than if you don't like something changing it. Christians who have low confidence in God's word and preach it but don't practice it. Guardians endeavoring to hold their families together. Connections on the very edge of a debacle. Perhaps you have seen it as well? Many families not working together when it comes to healing trusting and having faith in God who surrender excessively simply to man's way? Individuals who have 'had it' with their accomplices. Youth who are on tight rent, since they are settling on poor choices. A few of us are under so much weight, we feel we're going to disintegrate. So many of us are having to do things which God does not want us to do but yet, we do! I'm no instructor however I'm certain that God never expected us to stop so effectively and give up trusting Him. You realize you shouldn't stop right? On the off chance that we are straightforward, we realize we shouldn't stop believing in God. We know He knows what works and we know He knows where it counts that we should put our suit of armor on be the warriors He so made us be, however that doesn't change the truth around us. The mud gets flung and it adheres to our substance. We become angry, prideful, furious and sad and we simply like to stop and give up. Accomplices get controlling requests out. Christians are shouting out in supplication for achievement and pointing fingers to our leaders rather than praying for them. Dreams are not continually getting to be reality. You look in the mirror and you don't see the individual you would like to turn into. Doesn't God has a purpose for us all? All through the Bible if you read it right God uses flawed & broken individuals for His purpose who sinned all kinds of way! Did this stop God from using them? We get disillusioned when reality doesn't live up to our desires. We figure God ought to have delivered a specific result, distinctive to what we're seeing or encountering. Whatever your story, I feel like God is needing you to hear one specific word. Simply continue focusing, don't give up and do not judge others. Truly, that is the word in the city. You don't cast your pole into the ocean and surrender when it returns empty. You cast the bar & pull out. You simply continue focusing. You attempt once more and after thirty minutes or so when you locate garbage polluting the ocean that you catch, you do something very similar. Clear the snare of all the garbage

and cast the bar over into the ocean again! This is a basic similitude to make you think. We endeavor to fix an issue in our lives, and when we reel it back in to see, on occasion regardless we see the issue gazing us in the face. Prepare to be blown away. Begin once more. Attempt once more. Give it another shot. Cast the pole to pull out! Simply continue focusing and don't give up! We owe it to the general population around us to not stop. We owe it to the God who called us to have any kind of effect on the planet to do it!!! We deserve it. We are a culture of quickness and everybody wants everything fast! Our penchant to quit when things don’t work out is no uncertainty impelled on by a culture of promptness. As I compose this today, there are many who want to see President Trump impeached. How about we realize that God is in control and nothing happens by accident. How about we help our leaders? How about we pray for our leaders? How about if you don't like something we do like Maya Angelou's quote states, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." 'How about we quit pointing fingers on Him!' What are you doing to make the world a better place? Glance around and you'll see this 'get, get, get' quick culture, that starts a 'quit, quit, quit' give up culture and wants everything to happen fast fast fast and don’t work work work and struggle for it to be your your yours forever. Don't you know where you are right now you are supposed to be there? If you don’t like where you are shouldn’t you do something about it? I am not taking any sides with anybody but Jesus and it took me some time to realize

that God is still in control! Just look all around you! How do plants grow that we did not seed? How does the sun come up and shine giving us heat and warmth and the moon which gives us light at night to see? The way of life of promptness implies that when you don't get what you need when you need it, you proceed onward. You settle on changes and you settle on decisions to suit your own egotistical wants. I had to learn that if I don't get what I want, I don't quit! I think the Kingdom of God is distinctive to that. If it were not for struggles where would I be? Where would you be? I think we have got to learn to stick it out in hard places. I think we are intended to continue on with troublesome connections. I think we are called to appeal to God for our legends who fought for us and for our leaders, instead of quitting and giving up on them. I think leaders need to take wake up calls from God, take a full breath and continue furrowing the dry ground. I think we have to grasp the difficulties in front of us and continue angling, independent of the apparent achievement or not of our conditions. As the Bible says in Galatians section six, refrain nine, 'Let us not become fatigued in doing great, for at the correct time we will procure a gather on the off chance that we don't surrender.' Thus, this is what I need you to do. On the off chance that you're perusing this and you have a feeling that you could stop, at that point take hold of the pole and focus, summon up all the constancy and relentlessness you can discover, and cast that bar once more into the ocean. Our reality is in an ideal situation in the event that you don't stop and never give up when you want something so bad.

Chapter 18: Lessons I Learned While Enduring Stress & Hardship In My Life First, I would like to say, yes there were times I felt like giving up but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Second, these expressions are opinions of my own that I am sharing with you. Third, my past made me who I am today! “To be truthful I am blessed for my struggles which have made me who I am today. I am thankful for my struggle because without it I would not have stumbled across my strength.” - Valerie Cheers Brown I started to use was "How I Turned My Hurt into Wisdom and My Struggles into Opportunities,” for my title of this book but maybe that will be another book sometime later. I am TooBusyBeingAwesome in 2019 and have been since about 2004! Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. - Albert Einstein While troublesome occasions can feel like a profound dull gap that we can't escape and we regularly wonder "For what reason is this transpiring?", there is a silver coating to extreme occasions. It's through the troublesome occasions throughout our life, that we can develop. It's the point at which we are tried that we can rise, push through and turn out the opposite side more grounded, more courageous and wager Nobody needs to battle. Nobody needs to try and concede their battling. We as a whole need to have Photoshopped forms of our own lives that fit flawlessly into an Instagram square. However, life does not work that way. All of us will be looked with an assortment of intense occasions throughout their life. It is one of only a handful couple of things we can truly depend on. Actually, there are some significant exercises in life that we are just educated through troublesome occasions and they can turn into the silver coating to the dimness. When you are experiencing harsh occasions you discover who your companions are! It's an awful and regularly time merciless truth to discover that somebody we once thought would be there regardless of can't be relied on. Troublesome occasions have a one of a kind method for cutting off the fat in our lives. In the event that somebody doesn't genuinely mind, they won't attempt to be there. End of story. The acknowledgment that somebody you adore doesn't make you a need can thump you off your feet however it will spare you time and vitality that would have been spent

endeavoring to be there for them later on. In the long run, you will realize who truly matters, you will be thankful for them and you will have gotten out some passionate space for somebody will's identity there for you, through various challenges.

For a very long time, I looked at my past with shame, guilt, resentment and regret, thinking that many of the things that happened to me in the past shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened, thinking that life treated me unkindly and that I was nothing but a victim of my past and a victim of life. I did my best to hide all my skeletons in the closet, to pretend as if I had no wounds that needed healing and to act as if none of the horrible things that happened to me in the past had an impact on me. I honestly believed that if I looked somewhere else long enough and if I ignored the sadness that was present within me, the darkness will eventually go away and the light will shine through me and on me once again. But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I grew up with a hard-working father and stay at home mom and can honestly say that I am truly blessed to have a loving mother and father. I the oldest, the first experimental child, and never really knew how it felt like to be loved by your parents a whole lot and I depended on my grandmother to give me what I did not get from my mother. We lived downstairs and grandmother lived up! From a very early age, I have learned to put on a happy face and to pretend that everything was okay in my world, to pretend I was okay. I was the first and was given a lot of responsibility when it came to protecting my siblings and I had I looked up before I had siblings and found nobody to protect me. Yes, I had awesome parents but like I said earlier being the first child, my mom did not have all that much experience in the loving department and she did her best. I have for most of my life been protecting others and while I was the first I guess my dad's way of protecting me was paying the neighbor to pick me up from school. If only he had known that the neighbor beforehand, was bringing me home, but he would take me to his home next door into a basement and would rape me. He lived right next to us and we lived in like a rowhouse where the houses were connected back then. At such a young age I grew not to trust and guess it followed me to my adolescent and then into my adult days because the men I chose were not the right ones for me and instead I chose men who controlled and thought this was what life was about because they gave me material things. I did not want to be treated and controlled at all but I grew up with a good dad but he was kind of controlling when it came to what I had to do and it had to be done his way or now way at all. So this is when I got married because I became pregnant with my daughter and it was only right to marry the father. At least

this is what my father and his brother the preacher thought so I did! I didn't realize that if I was not in love with this person I did not have to marry them. So in a way my marriage was a controlled marriage. Until I became aware of God's wisdom that I am somebody who He loves and I had to love myself enough to speak up when I had beliefs and had the right to refuse to do as my father wanted me to do regardless of their beliefs. This was unheard of then and so I married him and was divorced before my daughter could even walk good. Then I married again and this time it was an abusive marriage, once again being controlled, but only this time not by my father, but by the man I had chosen to marry instead of waiting on God to choose for me. God will give you the power to have peace in the midst of the storm. - Joyce Meyers While in that last marriage, I tried street drugs, hung with the wrong people and got into trouble with the law several times. It took these things to make me realize that God forgives me if I forgive myself and so my story begins. It is because of these things that I endured and struggled with that I am who I am today and I thank the Lord every chance I get for allowing to forgive me and still allowed me to be who He chose for me to be even before I was conceived. It was hard enough for me to cope with everything that was happening and I guess didn’t have any energy left to talk about all of those horrible experiences. I didn’t want to relive the trauma all over again. I wanted to forget about it all and hoping that by doing so it will never happen again, but it did over and over again until one day I decided to remain close with God and have a constant relationship with Him. I would think, “I was just a little kid when this bad thing happened blaming my childhood as I got older every chance I got, and that was my way of coping with what was happening to me, helping me to survive through it all, at least I thought so. I thought it was being in denial which was helping me to deal with my past and when I got older and continued to spiral out of control I chose to live for God instead of for me and not doing things my way and helping me to stay sane in an insane world which I began growing spiritually & mentally with great peace.” I began growing when I recognized that I was responsible for my life and I had to take responsibility for my choices! This type of positive behavior and taking responsibility approach to life helped me a lot as I grow older and removed myself from the negative life of being controlled by my thoughts. After my mother & father died I began to stay even closer to God because it kept me mentally healthier for me not to let my guard down, it also helped me to get out

of the protecting mode and go into the safe and healing mode, by talking about what happened and allowing the healing process to begin. I didn’t know how to do that and as a result, until I got closer to God it helped me not to act as if I was still a prisoner of my past. I continued to be ashamed of my past, ashamed that I was physically abused by somebody I thought would protect me and ashamed that I was deprived of love, a happy childhood, and ashamed that my life was “different. This is when loving myself was crucial in order for anything work and then giving my life back to Christ is when there was a refueling or an awakening. “But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.” ~ Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning Difficult occasions abandon us with an enduring impression. They modify us and change the manner in which we see our lives. We have realized who and what is important in our life and without a doubt we have a more noteworthy thankfulness for them. Enduring hardship gives us a more extensive point of view on what hardship truly is. You will think back on the things you use to gripe about and be appreciative they are your only stresses or worries. After we have endure a troublesome time, we are given profound appreciation for our life. Troublesome occasions will occur. To locate the light, we need to experience the obscurity and keeping in mind that you're amidst it, endeavor to take a full breath and recall that the exercises you are learning will move your perspective on life. You will realize what makes a difference, who matters, how strong you are and that you are so fortunate to exist. That is the thing that troublesome occasions instruct us and they are probably the most significant exercises we can ever learn. Chapter 19: Give & Everyone Shall Receive It takes brains to run a business. It takes balls to start one. - James Dodkins In the event that you want & need it enough you will give everything just to begin to buckle sufficiently down and you'll get everything back quicker than you gave it away. Work until your financial balance resembles a telephone number. Give and you will get. This chapter goes right back to my one word, “Generosity!” Call it a coincidence, but after I began seeing signs from God, there is no doubt in my mind as to why they occurred!

You can make of the following whatever you wish, but for me, it truly exemplifies the power of Generosity. I will share with you one of my Tag, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re It stories which will eventually be turned into books where I have claimed co-authoring with a bestselling author, i.e. Jack Canfield, etc.: Give & Everyone Shall Receive by Valerie Cheers Brown Quite a long time ago, there was a ground-breaking and extremely liberal King who gave a lot of his gold to the needy individuals of his properties. Every morning, the King would get up ahead of schedule and offer his gold with the destitute individuals who had assembled at the entryways of his castle so they may purchase nourishment and dress. One night, a worker crawled up to the castle and crouched in a bad spot where he would not be seen. The laborer concluded that he would camp by the doors of the royal residence so he would be the preferred choice to get some gold pieces from the King the next morning. 'On the off chance that I am the main,' contemplated the worker, 'at that point maybe the King will give me progressively gold and I will never again be poor or hungry.' Yet, when one of the imperial watchman saw the worker crawling around at the doors of the royal residence, he believed that the man must be a criminal come to take the King's gold in the night. Thus the watchman caught the laborer and secured him away in the jail underneath the royal residence. The following morning, subsequent to being recounted the occasions of the earlier night, the liberal King chose to proceed to converse with the worker who was secured his jail. The King moved toward the dim and clammy cell and asked the laborer, 'For what reason would you need to take from me when all you needed to do was request gold so as to encourage and dress; do you not realize that I would have offered it to you happily?' The poor man clarified that he was not a hoodlum by any stretch of the imagination, however just a laborer who had fallen on harsh occasions and now required help. 'I was at one time a decent rancher and a decent representative,' said the man, 'until the dry spells came and criminals stole my dairy cattle.' The laborer took a gander at the King. 'I didn't come to take from you,' he demanded, 'I came in the night with the goal that I may be the first to get some gold toward the

beginning of the day. That is all, I guarantee.' After hearing the worker's story, the liberal King was greatly moved. He requested the gatekeepers to discharge the man from his jail, at that point he gave the laborer ten gold pieces with which to change his fortunes. The worker said thanks to the liberal King and left the royal residence with his gold. Be that as it may, the following day, the laborer was not happy with his endowment of ten gold pieces. Every night he came back to the royal residence and held up by the doors, and every morning the liberal King presented to the worker ten progressively gold pieces. This continued for a long time and numerous days, until the King asked the laborer, 'For what reason do you keep on going to my royal residence when I have given you so much gold. Most likely you are never again poor or hungry?' 'Be that as it may, I wish to resemble you,' said the laborer to the King. 'I need to be rich and ground-breaking.' 'In any case, will you likewise be liberal to the poor of the land?' asked the King. The laborer pondered this inquiry for a couple of minutes before he replied. 'Truly, in reality, I would, Your Majesty.' 'At that point, I will give you half of my Kingdom and half of my wealth,' answered the King, 'however you should guarantee me that you will dependably be liberal to the individuals who may require your assistance.' The worker concurred, thus the King gave half of all his riches and half of his whole Kingdom. The years passed rapidly and the work turned out to be a shrewd and liberal man. He utilized quite a bit of his gold to plant sustenance and raise cows, and very soon he had multiplied his wealth and had the capacity to impart increasingly more riches to the destitute individuals of the land. The King viewed from his royal residence and was satisfied with what he saw. He realized then that to give was the best delight there ever was on the planet. By sharing what he possessed with others, the liberal King had the capacity to satisfy numerous individuals. The worker had taken in this exercise well and he too imparted his riches and joy to everyone around him. Also, very soon, in light of the fact that both the King

and the astute worker both gave so liberally, there was no more poverty or hunger in the entire of the land. Tag, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re it!

Chapter 20: Treating My Mind, Body & Soul on My Journey I have learned how to manage nerve pain without taking medications and became medication free in 2010 and it is when Kangen water was introduced to me by Carl & Linda Brown of Arkansas who are Enagic Distributor! I travelled with Linda to one of the Kangen water conventions and got to meet the man himself, Mr. Oshiro, President/CEO Enagic, all the way from Japan and it was a joy and such a pleasure getting to meet such a humble person who looked a little boy but was not a little boy but in his seventies! I could not believe how old he was when I was told and was expecting to see a much looking person but he looked incredibly younger. When I first began drinking the miracle Kangen water I knew that God had put me into something way bigger than myself once again and I had to share with the world what this incredible water did to change my life incredibly. I pray that this water gets known all around the world and I can see big things happening much bigger that I want to be a part of for all of the world to experience! I was on pretty close to too many medications, almost 30, and I was taking corticosteroids, aka immunosuppressive medications which caused all kinds of other problems which caused me to take more medications for Lupus, lots of antiinflammatory medications, antimalarial drugs, NSAIDS, Gabapentin (Neurontin) which was hard to wean myself off of and is the one drug which caused me to have suicidal tendencies. I was diagnosed & born with scoliosis which was told I would not be able to participate in sports which was totally wrong and by participating in activities is what saved me from suffering as an adult right able to manage the pain and not let the pain manage my life. I have always been strong-willed all of my life and when somebody would tell me I would not be able to something, I would show them them otherwise, that I can and/or would be able to do anything because I have faith in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healing! As a kid I had willpower and stamina and nobody could hold me down when it came to challenges and I always knew that one day I would be somebody other than my siblings

that many could look up to. I was on so much medication I can’t even begin to name all of the drugs I was on and now at age 65, I am not taking any prescription drugs and I have learned how to keep my blood pressure leveled off by eating the right foods and changing my lifestyle by exercising and walking regularly keeping God as the head of my life guiding my footsteps. Walking does wonders and when in pain, I go for a walk and it always managed to help me everytime. Mentally I don’t claim illness or disease because I have found that when you claim illness or disease as “my lupus” it is exactly what it is and will be which is sick! I have not shown signs of lupus for years since drinking Kangen water and try and keep myself motivated and stress free living and loving what I do while I still can for as long as I live. When Carl first began my Kangen water regime he was weaning me off of the medications and it took about 6 months or a little longer before I no longer needed them and when I went to the doctor they were amazed and wondered why I was on such much medication and when I would tell them the prescription drugs I was on they were amazed as to why was on them! When I would tell the doctors what I was being treated for they looked at me in disbelief. I love volunteering and I still do this a lot and it also heals my mind, body and soul and it is just something incredible about helping & serving others which is a healer for myself. You will be surprised to know that with any addiction and I was addicted to prescription drugs and once street drugs, ‘cocaine’ drug of choice that these drugs mess with the mind and so when getting off of you have to heal your mind. Long story, short! I am so blessed to be alive and so thankful not to have to rely upon any of those drugs any more. I have my life back and my thinking is better and clearer and when I was on all of the drugs, I was pretty messed up from wanting to hurt myself to being sick from so much medications all of the time. I am not blaming the prescription drugs but I went to street drugs which from experience were the exact same thing as the prescription drugs that I was taking. I would use and it would make me feel good for a moment and then I needed more drugs and the vicious cycle would begin of thinking I needed more and more and after so much nothing was really working at least my mind was telling me this. Anyway, I praise God for forgiving me of my sins and the bigger sin was me believing I needed something made by man to make me feel better than Him. I am blessed and very grateful to God for sending me Linda & Carl Brown with the Kangen water! I am grateful to God for the struggles of my life and if I had not gone through anything I would not be anything right now or maybe not even alive!

Music is also my medication and I listen to lots and lots of music and I have a saying, “I Love Music, All Music is My Favorite!” Depending on the health issue I am dealing with, mostly nerve pain, I listen to that type of music and it varies and works for me! I still have some issues with sleeping because of the nerve pain but I manage it and it does not manage my life and I have tried different things and use CBD Natural Organic Hemp Extract and it helps somewhat, but I still deal with and manage pain on my own with music or some other healing! Through listening to music I consider it my God therapy and it helps reduce pain and anxiety, and also has improved my quality of life increasingly and as I get older I need this positive distraction which also calms my nerves and it seems nerve pain hates music for some funny reason. I did a blog on a report I found where Harvard showed evidence for music therapy improves lost speech, reduces side effects of cancer patients dealing with chemo and/or radiation, and also improves the quality of life for dementia patients. My church auxiliary, The Sisters of Mercy, while visiting the sick have on occasion sung to patients who were in a coma and we saw body movement. Music is soothing and try it the next time you are feeling down or even having a headache and put some headsets on and listen to some nice classical musical and see what happens and how you feel which is something to report about which will be a positive I assure you! The quote "Music can heal the wounds that medicine cannot touch," is very true and music frees your soul from the bad things or the pain of your mind and takes you somewhere where you won't think bad thoughts but instead solace. When you are feeling bad you only think of bad thoughts and that you don’t feel well and to me makes me depressed thinking about it and without music I only feel worse and I will call these pity parties. I just think music in itself is healing and is something that touches your soul, mind and body and when sick we need these healings to take place and medication did not do this for me, but instead only masked the problem and led me to believe I needed more medication. We got hundreds of music pages on Facebook and I share on occasion and enjoy listening to the many kinds of music from all walks and cultures from around the world. It doesn’t matter to me but music is music and all music is healing. Just take a listen sometime and depending on how you are feeling music will reverse those feelings in a beautiful and mindful way! Music brings pleasure to your soul and releases suffering from your mind. It can calm us down and pump us up. It helps to manage pain and helps you to learn how to not let the pain manage our lives. I have found also after listening to some good music will

help you sleep better too. I find that I work and produce more when I listen to music and I can write and listen to music all at the same time and barely look up from my keyboard. Music is my inspiration and my medication which makes me believe I can and will do anything I want because I want to make a difference for me and for others.
