7 Tips to

Boost Productivity

The environment you work in will have a large effect on your overall happiness (if you allow it to). Even if you work in the most boring office space, it’s important for you to decorate it in a way that you feel inspired to produce your best work everyday. If your company doesn’t allow this, you may want to start looking elsewhere or ideally start something of your own where you can work on your terms. It’s been proven time and time again that this is how humans best operate.

1) Meditation Meditation is simply “focused thought” on what your particular intention is. More than 60% of happy people report meditating regularly. Doing so in the morning to set your intention for the day is one of the best ways to ensure a solid start. 2) Incantations While meditation is generally inward focused, an incantation is something that can (and often should) be shared externally, to remind you who you are and pump you up for the day. A simple one to try is called an “I am” incantation. For example, “I am strong, I am savvy, I am prosperous!” Select the 3-5 words that you want to reinforce for the day, and repeat them as loud and confidently as you can until they are engrained within your fiber! 10 of 26


3) Read Statistics show that the average millionaire reads for at least 30 minutes everyday. Why? Because it opens them up to new information and knowledge, while allowing receptors in the brain to make important connections. Whether it’s the news, a self-help book, or a thriller novel, make reading daily a priority. 4) Environment The environment you work in will have a large effect on your overall happiness (if you allow it to). Even if you work in the most boring office space, it’s important for you to decorate it in a way that you feel inspired to produce your best work everyday. If your company doesn’t allow this, you may want to start looking elsewhere or ideally start something of your own where you can work on your terms. It’s been proven time and time again that this is how humans best operate. 5) Exercise Physical activity is imperative to feeling your best everyday. Studies show that over 80% of people who report being happy exercise at least 30 minutes a day. There really are no time excuses, as this is something you’re just going to have to make time for. It’s well worth it! 6) Nutrition Having proper nutrition means so many things to so many different people. In a perfect world, people would not need supplements. According to PhD Nutritionist Tony Cay Snyder, “90% of the world is deficient in one or more vitamins, even with our enriched food.” So, it’s imperative to eat natural/organic where possible, and fill-in the nutritional gaps with supplements to normalize things. 7) Sleep No one likes to talk about how important sleep is,, because it’s at the end of the day. However, I’m a believer that I can always tell how “great” someone will be during the day based on their sleep the night before. Not only does the average adult need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but they need 3-4 hours of REM sleep, where their mind, body, and spirit are able to fully rest and recover.

Need a recommendation on how to feel good everyday? Take one of Justin’s self-guided questionnaires and see if you qualify for a complimentary copy of his book, “Intrapreneurship: Changing Business Culture From The Inside Out”.

!e Effects of A Blooming Rose

I have had the pleasure of connecting with wonderful people, but I have never seen anyone with the energy of KJ Rose. This lady is so full of herself (not in a negative way), but full of spirit, purpose, confidence, and a beautiful smile. I love that KJ is so transparent about her journey and does not show she started on the top. She is not afraid to say that is had to go to work to make sure she was able to eat and put a roof over her head. So I want to say to up & coming entrepreneurs that it is ok to work and take care of yourself. Don’t let no one tell you that you need to quit to be successful. NOT TRUE! Sometimes you have to work and be ready when you get a phone call for a project. Just check out KJ Rose and the “The Rose Effect”. KJ’s motivation and energy are contagious. I am not saying everyone should be this energetic, but what about makes others want to connect with you. During my interview with KJ, I admitted that I had been watching her for a while. I never joined any of the conversations, but I observed. The reason I did this is to see how authentic she was or was this just for followers. After some time has passed I can truly say she is as authentic as they come. You know you want to have a person like this in your circle. The day I interviewed her immediately I felt her energy some through the screen. Now that I have bragged about KJ Rose I want to share somethings about her story that you will find to help you to keep your head up and keep pushing. As a business owner or professional, you want to continue to grow and be successful. It’s hard. Anyone tells you that the journey is an easy journey they are not telling you the truth. In her book, The Rose Effect she mentions a situation with a huge celebrity that she had the opportunity to work with on a song. Like with any of us, we get a call immediately get a boost of energy, get dressed and out the door. Can you imagine walking in a room and you see Heavy D in the room? next.


Who would not be excited! Wait…..keep it together. You can’t forget why you are there. You must stay focused and get the job done. You want to be called back for future projects. This is the time to put your best foot forward. Get the job done and any corrections. After some time has passed she got the call to fly out of town for the video shoot. Here’s the catch, you have to fund the entire trip yourself. Yep, that’s right. She had to pay for everything to be in this video. She gets there and was told that she was not going to be in the video. There was no place for her. Of course, any of us will a certain type of way, but what are you going to do? Go off on everyone that you took time off work and had to use your own money to travel or will you pick your head up and “Thank You” and leave? Yea, this is a hard one to hold your head up. It may seem like you are dragging yourself out of the door because you are doing everything to hold in all of your frustrations. She did! You may be asking yourself why did I share this story with you?

It's called DETERMINATION!

Not only should you purchase the book “The Rose Effect”, but you should follow KJ Rose. If you are ever in doubt about what you should do or have a fear to move forward. Just look at yourself again and make that decision to move forward. Understand that it will not be easy and you will fall, but it’s about getting back up. What is your dream? What is it you have always wanted to do? If you are hesitating at all read “The Rose Effect” and simply get started. KJ Rose took something that she loved doing and created a business. She is in high demand and works with a variety of celebrities. Being a person behind the scenes does not mean that you are hidden all the time. It’s about what you make it. I love The Rose Effect because it is a symbol of how a business can bloom into something beautiful. Think about it. A rose starts as a bulb and over time it will start to bloom. Each layer opens one at a time, not all at once. It takes time to bloom. Each pedal knows when it’s time to move to the next step to open when the tips should curl, or even if the color should change or not. Just like your business. It will take time. When the petals fall, that’s ok. That just means that you have passed that step and ready to move to the next thing. KJ is so passionate about her ministry to work with other artists and to make sure they succeed. Order your copy of The Rose Effect Today! 13 of 26

Racism in America: A Time to Self-Reflect Let's Write about it if we aren't Ready to Talk about it! The protests that began in Minneapolis, MN, over the brutal murder of George Floyd on May 25th while in police custody has spread all over America as well as other countries. A white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, was caught via video, placing his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes until there was no life left in his body. Other police officers watched without rendering any type of aid. Witnessing that type of blatant racism during the middle of a pandemic was just too much! The Black Lives Matter protests, which have drawn people of every hue, initially were about getting justice for Floyd but soon became about the systemic racism against black people that has gone on since slavery "ended" in 1863. How am I feeling about what's going on? What side of racism am I on? How is my mental state? These are things we need to be asking ourselves. If you need to self-reflect to see how you feel about the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement. Below are 10 writing prompts to help you sort out your feelings and emotions. If you feel that you need counseling, please seek professional help. 1.

How do I REALLY feel about what's going on in America right now in regards to systemic racism, the riots, etc. Be honest! Just write how you really feel. 2. What does BLACK LIVES MATTER mean to me and why? 3. What is WHITE PRIVILEGE and what does it mean to me? 4. What do I do daily to education myself on race relations? If I'm not doing anything what will I start doing? 5. What can I do to make all people feel respected and treated fairly? 6. What do my friends look like? Do they all look like me? 7. Who will I vote for president this time? Why? Will it benefit all Americans? 8. Does racism directly affect me and my family? If so, write down 5 examples. If not, write down 5 examples that you have heard about or witnessed. 9. Where are my ancestors from? How did they get to America? How did they thrive as citizens? Did they have a family business, good job or career, etc. ? 10. What have I learned about myself during all of this? Now that you've written about, it's time to talk about it and address it!

Dark Dark side side of discounts Is value your lone upper hand? The thing to remember is that offering limits is a type of selling on cost. At the point when you offer a rebate, you are taking the concentration from the worth you give and putting it soundly on your cost. It is extremely unlikely to get away from that. To keep up more significant expenses, you need to rather be adroit at selling esteem. Limits disintegrate your capacity to do that. Any decrease in costs can harm your value trustworthiness. Afterward, getting a similar client to quit pondering cost and re-center around worth can demonstrate troublesome. Not just that, contemplates show that limits really diminish the viability of whatever is being limited. In a purchaser's brain, the limited contribution actually doesn't proceed just as it did at the maximum. That sounds unthinkable, however twofold visually impaired investigations utilizing physician recommended drugs and over-the-counter wellbeing items, makeup and different items have demonstrated this to be valid.

Overcoming Feelings of Loneliness

Something happened to me today in my workout class. Something that has actually happened to me many times in my life. I asked myself, “Why is no one standing near me?” I was in a room full of other women (and one man) and not one person would come near me. I thought maybe once we got started some of them would make their way over to me...nope. I was on the front row with a circle of space around me that was at least two people deep, and the rest of the room was packed. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me, nor and it won’t be the last will it be the last, but and no matter how many times it happens itI feels a little sucky. Please understand that this story is not a story of discrimination or hate, it is a story of loneliness. If you are mom-preneur like me, you have hopes and passions that other moms might not have. Wanting to be an entrepreneur is not something a lot of moms want to be, and that is 100% okay. It requires a lot of time that, unless you are passionate about your business, most people are not willing to give. Also, running your own business often requires sacrificing moments of connection with other people. For example, most moms in your acquaintance do not. Your schedule doesn’t always allow for the weekly play dates or lunch with the girlfriends and because of that, life can get lonely at times. , and that can be lonely at times.

I often find that the best way to overcome those times of loneliness, when no one will come and stand by you in your business goals, is to focus on WHY you are doing what you are doing. For example, if my goal in attending the workout class was to make friends, I probably would have moved closer to someone so I could get to know them. ThisToday, however, was not my goal. My goal was to get a really good exercise workout in for the day. I wanted to stand in the front to get the best possible view of the instructor, which would allowing me to follow along easier and, which would giving me a better workout. I needed to stand where I was standing to achieve that - even if it meant standing alone. The people in the class weren’t not trying to be rude, they probably were just standing where they felt it best to stand. The same can be said for the goals we have in our own individual lives. People around you are not trying to make you feel like crap, they are just on their own path or they don’t even know that you are suffering. So, when you are feeling lonely and that no one is supporting you in your goals, take time to remember your WHY and HOW you want to achieve that ‘why’. Is it going to still feel like crap sometimes? Yes, but I promise you that it will be worth it in the end. Another thing this experience reminded me of was WALKING AWAY from goals that aren’t serving your WHY. My second piece of advice is to let go of the goals that are not serving you. Believe it or not, we all have goals that may seem noble in the beginning but ultimately end up hurting your end purpose. If you have asked yourself ‘why?’ and you do not like you answer, then WALK AWAY. You will not be a failure if you do. In fact, you will be the opposite. Your life will feel more fulfilling and successful if you are doing things that are serving you and your family’s end purpose. in the enAlways make sure your end goal, your purpose, your WHY is being served by the goals you set. In conclusion, if you are having a hard time because your entrepreneurial path is a lonely one, do these two things. First, focus on your ‘why’ or ‘what’ you are trying to achieve. If the ‘why’ is not going to serve you or your loved ones, then walk away. Today in the gym, I stayed because I was able to get a killer workout and feel good about myself when it ended in the end. I was still walking out alone, but by accomplishing what I set out to do brought me peace and a determination to continue to work towards my fitness goals. Feeling lonely is never fun, but don’t give up on your goals just because of it. You can do this!!!
