Small Business News
Inc.   How to decide if your business idea is any good

QuestionMarks
Tired of being asked by people about whether their business ideas were good or not, tech entrepreneur and blogger Neil Patel lays out his thoughts on the best way to figure it out. "I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the chances are, neither I nor anyone else is going to know whether your business idea is going to work or not," he writes on Quick Sprout. The only way to know, says Patel, is to actually start the business. He goes on to share some tips about getting a business going and how to gauge its success; he also delivers some tough love, "If you are really passionate about your idea, you need to go with your gut and start it. Now, this doesn't mean you'll necessarily succeed, but you'll never know if you don't try it out."

EditCopyProof NEWS
Charlon Bobo   Dare to Dream

thinking
Overcomers, Inc: True stories of Hope, Courage, and Inspiration had a magnificent launch day on October 22nd, hitting #1 best-seller status in 3 categories (motivational, inspirational and spiritual) on Amazon.com and #43 in the Amazon top 100. This remarkable success was engineered by a huge team lead by brilliant online marketer Kathleen Gage of Street Smarts Marketing and Lynne Klippel of Love Your Life Publishing.

Reaching published author status was a dream come true. Reaching best-selling author status was beyond my wildest dreams. It hadn't even occurred to me to dream this big and it happened anyway.

Less than a week after Overcomers, Inc. hit best-seller status, a publisher in China contacted the publisher to inquire about purchasing the rights to print it there.

I share my experience to make this point: Dare to dream your wildest dreams! As best you can, release all limitations. Take strategic action steps EVERY DAY toward your goal; you'll get there. If you imagine, it (whatever 'it' is) can be yours.

In my personal experience, I just kept the image alive and took the appropriate actions so it would eventually have a place to manifest. It took years. But finally all circumstances, people and events were aligned to bring this book to life.

I wish for you the courage to dream big. And then dream even bigger!

Conscious Entrepreneurship
Charlon Bobo   The Feminine Divine ~ How It Shows Up In Business

Angel




Entrepreneurship is shifting dramatically and the aligned female influence cannot be ignored. The feminine:

  • brings a sense of community to business
  • is cooperative because we know that is the road to thriving
  • achieves results by nurturing others
  • wants all members of our tribe to succeed
  • encourages others
  • challenges others with love
  • champions others with kind accountability methods
  • celebrates milestones and goal attainment

There is no doubt--with the shifting business paradigm in full swing--women have made a powerful impression and will continue to do so. Our innate gifts as birthers of new ideology will change the face of entrepreneurship so much that soon the old fa�ade won't be recognizable. It's the dawning of a new age and we're the luminaries.

Allowing intuition, spirituality and pure intent to guide us, we're in a very powerful position to creative positive and lasting change. The way business is conducted will never be the same.

Let me go back to my reference of "aligned female" and elaborate for the fullest understanding.

Being born female (a gender identification) does not an empowered woman make!

It's vital to understand that being strong, allowing the feminine divine to be honored in our words, thoughts and actions, referring to ourselves as "conscious," embracing our roles as leaders and visionaries, and intentionally creating our lives, is a journey... the journey of a lifetime.

The aligned woman is so much more than female. She:

  • has a vested interest in bringing her best to everything she does
  • willingly surrenders her plan to the wisdom of the Universe
  • commits on every level to the ever-unfolding process of life
  • pushes on with courage, no matter how hard the task
  • walks with herself, if necessary, so as not to dilute her efforts and energy with anything/anyone that might take her off-course
  • graciously serves others in accordance with her innate talents and gifts
  • models integrity because it's the core of who she is and how she conducts the business of her life
  • celebrates her unique talents-removing all hindrances to shining brilliantly-because she understands this world benefits from her exceptional contribution
  • is bold in her approach to life because there's no value in standing for nothing
  • accepts herself as-is, always

  • Modeling empowered divine femininity has many rewards; and it also comprises great responsibility; to whom much is given, much is required. Wielding power with benevolence requires a solid understanding that true power never attempts to manipulate, dominate or control. Only insecurity behaves that way. We are actively defining the future of business with our actions. We are creating something uniquely feminine.

    From the Editor's Desk
    Charlon Bobo   Routines

    WomanWalkingPath
    A few days ago I had the realization that I hadn't been on my daily forest walk for weeks! I have been so focused on marketing efforts that it so completely slipped my mind. With that thought, I am back into my routine and it feels so good!

    I missed my ritualistic and sacred morning journey into the woods. Busyness can take prominence over our physical, mental and spiritual wellness, but only temporarily. Eventually we are drawn back to what nourishes our whole being.

    In Sisterhood, Light & Love,
