CORE Talk Biz Tips - The Power of 1440

March 30, 2021

Transform:

Every single minute matters. While I was traveling this week, I had the opportunity to listen to Tim Timberlake, the author of The Power of 1440: Making the Most of Every Day. We have 1440 minutes in each day. What we choose to do in those minutes is important.

Testimonial:

It dovetailed perfectly with my learning of the 5-Second Rule by Mel Robbins. It is important that we are not wasting time, but acting. Quit wishing away your life – start doing. Many of us pray and we wish, but we never act in obedience. We have to live outside of our prayers and take action. Your action has to amplify beyond my wish and prayer life.

Truth:

What choices are you not taking action on? God will transform the minutes you have lost – He will give them back. We don’t get to just sit in the boat. We have to get out and showcase our faith. Peter loved Jesus and when Jesus told him to come to Him, he did as he was told. It was only when his focus off of Jesus that he began to sink. He showcased his faith with his devotion to Christ and his focus on Him. Matthew 14:28-33

Travel:

Travel is one of my core values. This week, I am doing CORE Talk from Myrtle Beach. While the destination is what I want to share, the journey taken is just as, if not more, important. People learn from the journey - not from the destination.

CORE Talk Biz Tips - Adventure Awaits Adrenaline Ensues

March 16, 2021

Transform:

Adventure, adrenaline, and surprises can change your life. Healthy adrenaline pushes you out of the norm and lets you truly live in a very present way. It allows joy to be deposited when we open ourselves up to being uncomfortable.

You have the opportunity to teach and show people how to show up via your life and your business.

Testimonial:

Be in the trenches with your clients/customers. Walk along with them to explore places they may have never been. Women’s retreats are just part of my business. They are a way to create adventure, which can add to any business. Once you have done it all or reached all the goals, what if you strategically infused your business with adventure to keep your customers/clients interested?

Truth:

Road to Emmaus is one of the first experiences during Jesus’ resurrection. Two men were on the road, heading on an adventure. Jesus comes alongside them, but they didn’t realize it was them until supper that night when He broke the bread. What if the journey, the adventure are the times when God really evolves your testimony? Push back the fear!

Travel:

This week I did the podcast from the Reignite and Realign Retreat in Tulum, Mexico! I had the pleasure of leading 7 beautiful souls into new places with adventure and fun. Next years trip is going to be even better! Turn in next week to hear where we are going !

CORE Talk Biz Tips - Mobility-Endurance-Momentum - in that order!

March 9, 2021

Transform:

Mobility and endurance are all connected, even in business. The mobility and endurance create the momentum to move you to the next level. It is important to strategize to ensure you are creating momentum in the right direction. Mobility ensures your focus is in the right direction.

Testimonial:

This week I featured my content strategist and virtual assistant, Janis Rodgers. Janis is a long-time CORE sister, a client, and a lover and follower of God. Her heart for God is clearly seen in how she comes alongside her clients to showcase their talents using her own talents. If you are an entrepreneur, one of the first people you want to bring onto your team is a virtual assistant.

Truth:

Staying rooted in the place of truth, it is only possible to move forward. Jesus started His ministry in secret and started flexing and practicing with His gift and talents before He ever started gathering followers. The cool thing is He never asked them to follow – it just happened organically. Wouldn’t that be amazing for your business? Those are the footsteps we follow.

Travel:

This week I am in our garage gym. This is where we stretch and flex to grow stronger and more mobile. It is hard work, but having a strong body prepares us for whatever God puts into our path.

CORE Talk Biz Tips - 5 Lessons from my Childhood Home

March 2, 2021

Transform:

In this episode, I am walking through my childhood home for the last time. My intent in sharing is to truly help you understand from a business level how the home is, and where the heart actually applies to your business as well. I could get emotional or sentimental, but I'm going to try and do this as best I can and try and teach you how this home - the heartbeat is actually the same heartbeat as your business has. No matter where you go, we know ultimately our home is our heart, and therefore, whether it's the bones of a childhood home or it's the bones of your business, there's actually so much to be learned in this concept.

Testimonial:

This week I talked about a business in my coworking space, Ardent Candle. It is a product-based business, but it doesn't just focus on the product. The founder, Koby Lomax, just went viral on Tik-Tok simply by being himself! You know the company because he is not afraid to be funny and show his face. He is the host in the process of you finding a great candle! You have got to check out their breakfast cereal candles and his posts on Instagram!

Truth:

Jesus is home. If home is where the heart is, He is the heart. His it the host of all hosts. He is the hostess with the mostest. He is the living host.

Travel:

This week I shared from my childhood home. I spent over 25 years in this house, which was full of fun and joy. My mom was she hostess with the mostest and her entrepreneurial spirit is what sparked my own journey. The home was where I could be myself and you need to be sure you are being yourself in your business as well. Be the hostess with the mostest, and lead your clients and customers!

CORE Talk Biz Tips - Refinish Your Vision

February 23, 2021

Transform:

Renovating and refinishing can apply to much more than a home or building process - it can apply to your business as well. I have been refinishing in both my home and personal life, as well as my business. Here is one thing I want to be sure you know about refinishing/renovating.

Do not try to create a brand based on what others are doing. Be you – imperfectly.

Testimonial:

Alexey Kokush – He walked into a renovation catastrophe. We had hired someone different to start. Our hardwood floors had several layers of stain, shellac, etc. on them and we wanted to return them to a more natural state that looks fresh and new. Seams were messed up, grooves in them, the other contractor had broken 3 sanding belts on them, but Alex came in and turned them from catastrophe to beauty. He revived the foundation of them. Instead of raw wood blanketed with something to mask the color, we let the raw wood shine through.

Truth:

Refinishing in the Bible? Noah’s ark! How much wood did they use? When Noah had this vision, he knew for certain what was being asked of him. He put it into action, even though others were doubting. We are all faced with naysayers and negativity regarding what we feel God wants us to do, but if we stay with the root mission, God will bring light and clarity.

Travel:

Not traveling far this week. I traveled to my newly refinished floors in my home today. This space is the heartbeat of my home and I wanted it to feel comfortable and welcoming. We chose to embrace the color of the natural wood and Alex helped us with this. It gives our home a fresh look and it makes it so much brighter!

CORE Talk Biz Tips - The 3-Pillar Process

February 16, 2021

Transform:

No matter where you are in your business growth, you need to focus on one thing – your mission and then work from there. Having 3 pillars of your business - 3 access points - allows people to come into community with you on different levels and in different ways. Once you have a foundation of three, you can then add other things as you grow. You don’t have to squirrel and do it all at the same time. Start with a strong foundation of three.

Testimonial:

This week I featured Yasmina Prosser from He Made Her Whole. She has her three pillars - workshops/coaching program/podcast. Even those these are 3 different things, they have one heartbeat and one mission to drive her forward. This allows her community to connect with her on different levels – at the free level with the podcast up to the next level with workshops to the next level, which is one-on-one coaching.

Truth:

The thought of three immediately brought to mind the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although He is three, all of these come together to create the One of God.

Travel:

Today I did the podcast from the comfort (and fun) of my backyard aerial hammock/trampoline. This bouncy and fun space is connected in three places to give it support - ust as we need 3 pillars of business and our God is 3 in one.

CORE Talk Biz Tips - Company Culture

February 12, 2021

Transform:

In this episode, I talked about company culture and knowing the heartbeat of your brand identity. I love watching my clients develop their company culture. There are many ways you can do this, including:

Having them take the Enneagram test to get a better idea of strengths/weaknesses

Have a gathering and meet their spouses

Get comfortable with the people you work with. Remember how Jesus discipled and sat at the same table with them.

Testimonial:

One of my clients, Natalie Petroskey started her business during the pandemic. She owns Legacy Lacrosse, because she knew kids needed and wanted the human to human connection. She stewards kids well in Lacross and other sports in the Hampton roads area. One of the best things is her team. She has brought on coaches who have truly taken her company culture to heart.

Testify:

Jesus created a company culture with his disciples. He wanted to know their unique identity traits that could be used to build the kingdom and He knew them intimately. He not only lead them, but also served them by washing their feet. He saw them and knew them. They were his family, rather than his employees.

Travel:

This week I had the pleasure of having a date weekend with my hubby at Gas Light Hotel in Norfolk, Virginia. It is not new, but has been reopened with both an art gallery and restaurant that really set it apart.

CORE Talk Biz Tips - Who Is Your Ideal Client Avatar?

February 12, 2021

Transform

Do you know who your ideal client is? I want you to go deep - on an emotional level. You can better talk to them and create for them when you know them deeper on a heart level. Taking this time to deep dive into their needs, their feelings, and their dreams to help you to create a better offer, whether good or service.

Testimonial

This week I featured Amanda Perry of Peach Perrychute Celebrations. She caters to her ideal client by creating the celebrations that they want to give to others but just doesn't have time to put all the creativity and bring the details together. She knows their pain points to serve her clients well, no matter what kind of event or the size of the guest list.

Testify

In John 4, the story of the Samaritan woman is a perfect example of an ideal client. She is definitely outside the ideal client that the disciples thought Jesus should minister to, but He knew who His ideal client was. Those who felt marginalized and alone - no matter who they are or where they are from, were who He knew His ideal client, and He connected with this woman on a deep level.

Travel

This week I broadcasted from our family car, a Tesla. This company definitely knows who their ideal client is, and their marketing from start to finish caters to this person. My husband is very tech-oriented, and he has been following Tesla from the start. He meets their demographic, but it also helps take care of a pain point, which is saving money on gas, since he travels 150+ miles a day. It met our needs as a family and as entrepreneurs. They know their ICA and you should, too!
