Who has an Entreprenurial Spirit?

I know I have an Entreprenurial Spirit within however I am at afraid to release it. I have the vision, the concept but doubt is overpowering. So, I procrasinate for fear of the unknown. I am sure this post will help me take the step.
 
Wow Ladies! We must get our visions moving. Procrastination is death to visions. I pray that God will continue to lead us in His plan for our lives. Those who need help with marketing, graphic design, logo, websites, and any other type of small business let me know. I am almost done with my website. It should be up sometime next week so check back.
 
I would like to join.

Since my wedding in 07 I started my own event planning business that was doing well in NY but relocated so need to start fresh in GA.

I also branched off a bit and decided to make custom products for weddings.

My goals for this week is to customize my new logo as well as update the theme on my blog.
 
How about we post our blogs or websites so we can support and spread the word?

My current blogs (needs tons of work. Any graphic designers can use me as a demo:grin:)

I think that's a great idea! Maybe post our events,too..if we want?
I'm still learning..... to just get a blog started....I have a website...but it sure needs an overhaul....
 
Thanks to Mrs Boo,the Entrepreneurial Spirit Thread was started and is now a sticky:grin:

I have a business, and like a lot of us,would like to take it to the next level so the sticky was suggested to have a place for us to support and cheer each other on.
Can I make some suggestions to get us started?
  1. This week we introduce ourselves,business and goals for our business...
  2. Beginning NEXT Monday May 12th we check in with actions for the work week
  3. The business action can be one or ten.....
  4. Each Monday we check in with new actions AND affirm those we able to accomplish and those that need more support from the week before.
  5. Feel free to share any Bible verses to encourage!
  6. We have the right to give an online Hallelujah party when a diffcult action was accomplished. :grin::yep::lachen:
Any other suggestions.... embraced :yep:
:update: (s) welcomed

Let's have fun, lovelies...may the Lord bless us & prosper.


For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.

I loved all the webs I viewed... they were so professional!
I am going to share actions as Mrs Boo said..in PM land because the CF .. comes up on public search engines and I personally want to keep my process/w my business private from clients.I sure took a bunch,tho. Kind of exhausted from it

FYI..If you post your web url on the LHCF it will come up on public search..along with CF comments right alongside your wbsite..if you care about privacy you can still share your web...cats_R_sweet

I would think by saying my web is.... cats and then ..R ........and then sweet..and then dot com.....rather than the url with hyperlink..wld prevent bring up CFalong with your web
if it is important to you!
 
thanks kayte. I just fixed it. I'm sooooooslow. It took me a minute to get it. lol. I'm still working on the site. I plan to sell t-shirts through there as well. I have some realy clever sayings that I think us women of color could appreciate.
 
Ladies, please pray for me and my husband. He's starting a consulting business that he's been wanting to do for a long time and I am nervous but keeping the faith. So please pray for our business.

By the way, you ladies have some wonderful ideas. Keep up the good work. And for those of us that are afraid to take the leap, we can only try, we can only try. Thanks.
 
I have several ideas, but I think I've finally decided on one or maybe even two if it be God's Will!

I'm looking into starting a business that will feature GOOD, QUALITY, black-owned hair care and beauty lines. I would also love to feature some black jewelry designers and even maybe some black-owned up and coming fashion designers eventually. But I want it to be very top-notch and classy.

I also have a very big idea on all the things I've learned about REAL hair care and spreading the word. What I'm planning with this will take a LOT of prayer and collaboration because I want to keep it holy and not be greedy.

Lastly I have an idea to start a concierge/errand service business, but I believe I need a business partner for this, and I don't really know how to go about looking for one.

Question: Is it a bad idea to go into business with someone who is not a Christian?
 
How are you ladies doing in the marketing and advertising area?
Click to expand...

That is a HUGE challenge for me but the internet is wealth of of data in these areas..so I can find clients and demographic of choice EASILY via world wide web

One can pay companies to find clients/mailing lists....but I have to keep my overhead low so until I can get an intern...
I do all the research and I just make the time ..I say okay Satuday afternoon for 1-5pm ..it's about researching my clients online
it's ONGOING ...you never stop..and I'm learning to carry promo materials all the time

marketing materials I rely heavily on Vista Print for print materials
and for quality web based promos....Constant Contact... and Microsoft business for 3 panel brochures which I make templates for a zillion themes ...and email as as attachments ....inexpensive quality marketing and as of this email....still working..and 95% appearances booked through email research...marketing....phone

direct mail ..hasn't done zip


constant contact is 15.00 monthly charge..well worth it ....
and vista has constant promos..it's worked! The main issue for me with marketing is TIMING....getting the client when they are ready to BOOk.....

Ladies, please pray for me and my husband. He's starting a consulting business that he's been wanting to do for a long time and I am nervous but keeping the faith. So please pray for our business

I think there are ethical non-Christians and unethical Christians as there are the reverse
I can tell you my beloved assistant with a heart of gold who was not a Christian but devoted to me and my business ..this person had access and knowledge of my pin number for my atm card as she was given it to make purchases on my behalf....had the extra key to my apartment as she checked my mail..worked in the apartment when I was not there ...oot.....
etc etc
not ONCE...did anything weird go down.....she was with me for something like 6/7 years....and my business accelerated ...will I ever find someone like her again.

I'd be very cautious ..get the person checked out and make sure there were mechanisms in place to protect you ... sure other business owners can offer advice...pray on it

I am interested in contacting you regarding your promotion. I am in the start-up phase of my business and need assistance in this area.

Thanks! To God be the glory for the things He has done!
Okay ladies our company has the toll free number 1(800)485-0157. Thanks for the overwhelming response! God is awesome! Flash is more contemporary so it may feel template-ish but I must tell you that you do not have to get flash! I debated so long between flash and html but decided enough with debating and do something already! You can always have a flash intro or header and html body. The options are limitless ladies! :grin:

Be Blessed!
 
My spiritutal Entrepreneurs group is holding their Soul Talks tonight
...12 members are going to each give a 5 minute sample talk on "Soul".....however the speaker wants. The idea is to give a sample as experience and to help the speaker prepare to expand this later into a full fledged speech that can promoted to be used in speaking venues.

I AM SO NERVOUS.........I keep thinking of legit reasons to bail,
but I just wanted to say I commit to going and giving my speech.
I worked on it some last night and I want to tie it into my picture book as one the characters is a Preacher and has a fancy speech he gives in the story about life ..which I can use,too lol..and as entrepreneur venue..it would be nice to have a service and product

So I AM going to go...even though I am terrified...
Going to give my practice speech and come back tomm or tonight and report on how it went ....and the next step would be to expand it and search for speaking /author venues....
guess I shldnt be countin chickens.....I take that back..it's called having a goal..so YES!... looking for speaking venues after tonight
:)

How did your speech go Katye? I need to find a group similar to this in my area. I really need to make an attempt to attend more networking events.

Thank you for remembering and being so sweet to ask! Brings tears to my eyes.I am such a crybaby...
That's so funny you asked..just then because I was going to post... just before you did and then I said..ahh..I will check in later. Probably no one read about yesterday anyway...then like a couple of minutes after..you logged in your question:)God our beautiful God...is up to somethin.. I just know it!

IT WENT REALLY WELL! I learned so much from the other presenters....
I was shaking..up there at the podium...but I'd prepped my speech as best I could beforehand.

I made a decision to use poetry..as part of the narrative/testimony...
I think I am going to use this method for future speeches
The speech came out like a poem. No one moved when I spoke...the silence was like a lovely confirmation from God....I only received great feedback....

Dynamic Poet and what a vibrant story!
Powerful.Thank you for sharing
Majic & Musical
Thank you for the Poetic Soul

And after ward we each got a certificate which I am going to frame and a special gift and they taped us! ...so we will get a CD of that evening's Soul Talks ..and I will be better able to critique myself. I went to my local Starbucks afterwards..and the song playing there ....was Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of the Bay..nearly had me in chills...
as that was the song... I said in my speech..I listened to

Are you wanting to go into speaking?
There are Meet-ups and Toastmasters and early breakfast Business talks which I was thinking of looking into.. might that be a start of support?
Then I can offer specifics :)

I'm glad to hear that the event went well for you :yep: Your post sparked my interest because I never heard of a Spiritual Entrepreneur Club. I'm definitely going to be looking for one in my area. Your spoken word piece sounds like it was cool...Congrats again!!!

I don't want to go into speaking but I would definitely be open to it. I like to talk sometimes :lachen::lachen::lachen: I just need to be around more people who share similar interests right now. So at this point I'm just searching for any networking events that I may be interested in. I did sign up for a major conference last night that's coming to my city this summer and I just subscribed to a few trade magazines. The conference and the mags are geared towards a business I want to start this year. Feels like I'm making some progress... I just want to stay focused!
 
wow..thanks for sharing! Your actions seem very focused. And you are taking them...which is brave..is everything ..The conference sounds exciting..filled with potential.....networking....something to really look forward to.

My church hosts the spiritual entrepreneurs group along with other small groups..like bible study..women's ministry...etc... I kind of happened into it....to try it ..not sure if I'd like it....and it turned out to be a fit.

I admire your actions taking your business forward ...
..inspiring to me,procrastinator..that I am
 
Thought the reference below might be useful...I've reccommended it in the past and just now recently pm-d someone with the info...
so perhaps make use!....... if it seems useful..that is :)

luck..blessings..prosperity..abundance
