T HE TRUT H A B O UT Q U I TTI N G YO U R J O B By: Dawniel Winningham Is it possible to quit your job? The answer to that question is YES! There are many reasons that you may SAY you can’t quit your job and even more reasons that OTHER people will TELL you that you can’t quit your job. BUT, the TRUTH is that NOT ONLY can you QUIT your JOB—You can QUIT your job and make EVEN MORE doing what you LOVE! BUT there are some things that MUST be done to make that happen; including BELIEVING in your ability to do so. What we were taught We were TAUGHT to get a job and work hard so that one day we would be able to comfortably retired and live the rest of our lives on the porch in rocking chairs. We were taught that because that was the day and age that our parents and grandparents lived in. However, that is NOT the world we live in today. Back then, jobs were loyal, so people were only right in being loyal to those jobs. But nowadays, jobs are focused on ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY—the bottom line. Therefore, we can only do what is best for our family and focus on OUR bottom line. We can’t continue to sit around and be paid whatever the JOB thinks is fair, or face being let go from work because the JOB didn’t make their profit forecast for the quarter. We must stop playing Russian Roulette with our families because of a job. What is true While the bad news is that jobs are no longer loyal, the good news is that NOW more than ever, everyday people are able to take their ideas and inventions and present them to the world and build businesses that will support and sustain their families forever. Actually, that has ALWAYS been the case: if you look at major businesses now, they were all started by a person with an idea. McDonalds was started by ONE man who had an idea to cook hamburgers fast! KFC, Goodyear, Chase and many other institutions were started with ONE person with an idea who refused to give up. What it takes Now while I’ve given you MANY examples of million dollar businesses that were started by a person with an idea, it takes FAR more than an idea to get your business up and running in a way that you can feed your family and finally leave your job. Desire – Desire is mandatory for you to quit your Job. You have to WANT it in a way that you have NEVER wanted anything before. You have to believe in a way that you have NEVER believed before. There are so many people that HATE their job, but because they do not believe in their ability to do BETTER, they stay—and even worse, they continue to struggle from paycheck to paycheck because of their decision. At least if


I am going to struggle from paycheck to paycheck, it had better be for something that will create generational wealth and happiness, not just money for someone else. Drive – WILL you go get it? I am often amazed at the number of people who SEE opportunity for themselves and refuse to go get it. But you go get it for your family, your friends, and your job. WILL you go get it for you? The same way in which you accomplish deadlines for your job – day in and day out without excuses--is the same DRIVE that it will take for you to build your business. No sick days, no days where you can’t pull it together. You have to do a little every day until you see the dream starting to move, and then you will do EVEN more! Focus – I don’t just mean focus on working. I mean focusing on a deliberate plan or idea and NOT being “all over the place” or distracted by the first wind that blows. Many will come to you saying they have ANOTHER idea or something else that could possibly make YOU more money, but you have to ask yourself, is that YOUR idea or is that THEIR idea? Is that YOUR opportunity or is that THEIR opportunity? The answer to that should keep you on course. Help – For those of us who are reluctant to ask for help, let me tell you RIGHT NOW that if you are reluctant to ask for help, it is doubtful that you will make it. Help comes in the form of wise council, a team of supportive people helping you build and a community of likeminded people who will push you when you feel that you can’t go any further. Every time that you feel as if you are operating 100% within your own control ask yourself, CAN I do this alone? If the answer were YES, then you would have done it already. INVEST in help for your next level. You won’t regret it! Belief – Code word: faith. Not only faith in the creator, but also faith in yourself and what you were created to do. KNOWING that you not only have a purpose but that you have been sent here to accomplish that purpose and that you have supernatural help to support you if you would only ask and believe. Action – All of these things are great but you must have action. You must leave perfection on the shelf and launch. You must leave procrastination behind and act. Your indecision and lack of moving forward will cause you to stay at your job forever. It is better to act and fail so that you KNOW what you need to do moving forward than to NOT act and be stuck at a job forever. You may have fooled yourself into thinking that leaving your job is not right for you, or that you need to wait until a later date and time when the kids are older, or when you have more money saved, or whatever the REASON is that you have told yourself. But the TRUTH is that NOW is the time that you start planning your exit because it will take you a year or better to be in a place where you are READY to leave your job. If at that time you CHOOSE to stay, then that is different. But at least now you are NOT oblivious as to what your choices are in order for you to provide for your family forever. If you are STILL not sure if leaving your job, or even thinking about leaving your job, is right for you, go to bit.ly/quittruth and take the Quit Code Analysis. There are some things that you may have been blind to about your job that this simple survey may help you come clean about. Trust me, I have been there myself thinking that I was perfectly happy living my job, when in fact there was MUCH more work for me to do in the world. I just had to embrace it and go for it! Will you?


WOME N L IE S A N D MO NE Y By: Dawniel Winningham Before I even start this article, I want to admit that there are LIES that I still tell myself about money. Things that I still ignore or avoid because they are too painful. But I am working on it, and this article is about you telling YOURSELF the truth so that you can work on it too. The TRUTH about women and money is that we have to get it together: • We grow 75% of the world’s food. • We do ¾ of the world’s work. • Yet, we have only 10% of the world’s wealth and 1% of the world’s land. LADIES, we have a problem! You see, as women we have been taught some things about money that are fundamentally wrong. When we do the math in our bank accounts, we SEE the results of our labor keep us struggling paycheck to paycheck. Without a conscious focus on changing what we have been taught, women will continue to lead the world in being in poverty. According to the numbers POVERTY is the ONLY thing we lead the world in. Oh, and caring for ANYONE and everyone. We care for the young—our children. We care for the old—our parents. So it doesn’t make sense that the gender that cares for virtually everyone is broke. It’s time for us to fix it. They say the TRUTH will set you FREE, but FIRST you must acknowledge the lies. The Lies Women can’t work together—Not only CAN we work together, but we must. The world discriminates against women—true, we live “in a man’s world,” but there are enough women for us to take back our portion if we would stop working against each other and start working together. You can ignore your money and things will be fine—as women we have to STOP ignoring our financial situations, EVEN when (and especially when) they are dire. We MUST go out and demand what we are worth and stop thinking that the world will pay us if WE don’t ask for it. If I just work hard—let’s face it, some of us can’t work any harder. It’s time for us to work smarter and KNOW our worth so that we don’t continue to struggle in life and business. There is SO much that we need to accomplish to change the world, but to change the world, we must FIRST change ourselves. We will have to FACE our fears and misconceptions about money, CHALLENGE what we were taught, and PUSH for our worth without feeling as if we will hurt someone’s feelings in the process. We must take the emotions out of money and in doing so, KNOW that business is business and we have earned every right to earn just as much, if not more, than our male counterparts. Men are just willing to ask for what is due them and we are not. That changes NOW!

“Be the change you want to see in the world” -Ghandi

CAMIL LE MC KE N Z IE Camille McKenzie, BA, is a Certified Lifestyle Coach whose primary mission in life is to help women transform their lives by inspiring, educating, and empowering them on how to liberate themselves from whatever factor is preventing them from living a fulfilling life of freedom. Whether the obstacles her clients face are mental, physical or spiritual, through her highly interactive, non-judgmental style of coaching she easily assists them overcome their negative behavior traits to become the best possible version of themselves. A gifted speaker and writer, Camille has always been involved in the process of helping others reach their full potential. While in the position of an Assistant Director of Career Services, she counseled and assisted her students in choosing a career path that allowed them to fulfil their true passion and become financially solvent at the same time. In 2009 and 2010 tragedy struck in Camille’s life. She lost her first husband in 2009, and nine months later, her father died. These events led to a turning point in her life when she met a young Christian alternative healer (who would later become her new husband) who taught that lifestyle choices impact our health. Camille learned that we

are healthy by the choices we make and not by chance or our genetics. The personal losses she endured and her newly found love for health created a new mission in her life: to help the world become healthier and understand how faith and health are related. She received training to become a certified lifestyle coach from HIPCARE (Health Institute for Preventative Care, Access, Research and Education), which allowed her to coach participants of CREATION Health, Florida Hospital’s flagship lifestyle program. Inspired by her own weight loss journey, she decided to use her health training to specialize in helping women to lose weight! As a result, Camille formed her company, HEROICA, LLC to empower women to become healthier, lose weight and to live their dreams. In keeping with her company’s mission, she created her signature weight loss course, the Power Up for Weight Loss Program. Through the program, she has helped women to lose weight by adopting healthy habits while still enjoying the foods they love, rather than by dieting and calorie restriction. Her approach to weight loss is unique because she uses what Camille has called


“the three powers” to guide her clients to success. By helping women tap into the three powers (the power of God, the power within themselves and the power of community) her clients have lost 10-20 pounds within her 7-week program and they continue to lose weight as they follow the principles they have learned. By coaching women to create healthy habits and to utilize the three powers they are empowered to stop playing small in their lives and realize their full potential; ultimately living lives filled with confidence, peace, love and joy. Camille firmly believes that coaching doesn’t have to be harsh and hard in order to institute change in one’s life. By believing in God, one’s

own self, and the power of community, miracles can happen! Through her hands-on, heart-to-heart style of coaching, Camille is dedicated to making others feel loved, welcomed, and accepted in society. By banishing fear from their lives, her clients learn how to successfully achieve their life goals and to embrace love so that not only does their personal life take on more meaning and joy, every person they come in contact with will benefit from their empowerment and inspiration. When not assisting others in losing weight and learning to live an enthusiastic and purposefilled life; Camille loves spending time with her loved ones, reading, and enjoying the beauty and serenity of nature.

“Become the B.O.S.S God created you to be!”

CA NDR A WA RD R I S E, R E PO S I T I O N & R E B U I L D – S O YO U CA N RO C K YO U R N E XT B I G T H I N G! Candra Caprice Ward is a life & business strategist for the ambitious mom, the new mom entrepreneur and the mom who simply just wants to know what’s next for her life. She mentors and coaches moms on becoming entrepreneurs as well as learning how to balance motherhood & business. In addition, Candra offers business consulting and system development for mom salon owners & hairstylist who want to make more money and avoid burnout. As a former six-figure hairstylist and salon owner, I hit “pause” on my business due to burnout. I knew how to hustle, work hard and make a lot of money, but I lacked a few key business skills and proper system placement in order to make my long-term business success work in my favor. After stepping back and taking some time to reinvent myself, I became a wife and a new mom all over again after 21 years. During my time home with my baby, I fell into a season in my life where my wheels were spinning and I felt like I was in a rat race against time. Years were passing and my perception of where I thought I should have been was skewed. The Struggle Was Real... I became accustomed to a particular lifestyle in my prior 21 years of entrepreneurship, so when my life made a turn I tried operating as my old self and it just wasn’t working. I came across many failed business ventures, new marriage challenges, confusion and had to learn how to be a mom again. After I took one look in the mirror and spoke life to my situation, I decided to Rise, Reposition and Rebuild myself like my life depended upon it! After going hard and investing thousands of dollars into myself through coaching, mentorship and accountability partners, I came to the realization that I could not do it alone. Things finally shifted for the better and I gained back my rhythm and momentum. My Next Big Thing... After bouncing back and fueling my ambition, I started working on my next big entrepreneurial project. The motivation for getting my project up and running was so that I could help moms like myself who needed a fresh start. So I created “Your Next Big Thing” Coaching Program for Moms.


This is why I am on a personal mission to help moms rise, reposition & rebuild their lives so they can live life on their own terms. As a life & business strategist & business consultant for moms, it is my job to see that my clients and customers have SOLID answers for their next steps. I understand the frustration, confusion and helplessness that bombards moms’ minds, especially when they are trying to figure out what’s next in their life. I am here to help you ignite your gifts and greatness so you can share them with the world. As moms, we sometimes put ourselves on the back burner and label it as a responsibility instead of an excuse not to be great. We have to finally make a decision to honor ourselves and see the value that we hold. I am a firm believer in knowing that no one can do what I do as good as I do it. Our unique ability and assignments are what attracts the right people and things to us. Within my coaching program, my core belief is that everyone has the opportunity to start over again and be better the second time around. I serve my clients through coaching, consulting, mentorship, training & my specialized product line.


Potential clients fall under one of these categories: • Confused on how to find her “genius zone” and sweet spot for business • Trying to understand how to balance motherhood & business • Wanting to know how to implement systems in their life & business to make things run more smoothly. • On the verge of closing a hair salon due to improper money management and physical burnout • Needing to know what it takes to become a high earning hairstylist by working smarter and not harder. In addition to being a life & business strategist & business consultant, Candra Ward is a published author, speaker and educator. She is also the CEO of Candra Ward Enterprises which is the umbrella of The Moms Lounge, a supportive and learning community for moms to receive coaching, training, & inspiration to pursue their life & business goals, and Hair Speaks Academy, a virtual and physical training center for mom salon owners & hairstylist to receive business coaching training & consulting services. Lastly, Candra is the founder and executive director of BellaFille.Org a 501c3 non-profit serving young moms 12-24 through life-skills, financial literacy and entrepreneurship.

“It’s Never Too Late to Design Your Own Life”

CHIQU ITA L IN D SAY After working paycheck to paycheck for years, I decided I had enough. I had worked a day job in the medical field for 37 years. Over the past eight years, I have been trying to build my own business by trying different things, but nothing worked for me. What changed my life was realizing that not only was I working broke, but I was going to retire broke if I did not change my mindset on my money and my future. I created a The Stop Working Broke Boot Camp where I help you change the mindset that has you sleepwalking through your finances and your life. I help you find your money and earn more money so you can use that money to invest in your goals and dreams for your life. Since changing my mind set, I have become a certified life, health and business coach. I no longer live paycheck to paycheck. I am a speaker and a best-selling author on Amazon with my first book The Quit Affirmations, a short read on 20 things you need to quit so that you can start living the life of your dreams. As a real estate investor, I teach people how to earn extra income on rental properties. I learned a powerful lesson that gaining wealth is not FREE and if you could do it on your own, you would have already done it, as my coach, Dawniel Winningham, always says. I hired coaches to help me and took every class they offered. Even the coach needs a coach. Follow Dawniel Winningham @wealthspeaker. This coach changed my life.

“I did not wake up today to be mediocre”

DE MISH IA W RIG H T - TH E WR I G H T STR ATE G Y Corporate Entrepreneur While many battle with professional tug-o-war between Corporate America and entrepreneurship, Demishia Wright unapologetically lives in the best of both worlds. As a corporate entrepreneur, business strategist and author, she’s committed to helping professionals find their purpose and passion—in and outside of Corporate America. Instead of chasing money or fancy titles in the workplace, Demishia transforms the mindsets of her clients—taking them from mediocre to mogul. She is an alumna of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University. Demishia is currently a Senior IT Professional for a major telecommunications company, a social media and business strategist, leader, income coach, and a mother! Furthermore, she is a Huffington Post contributor and author of many publications, including “21 Questions You Must Answer to Succeed in Corporate America” and “21 Ways Not to Suck: A Women’s Guide to Success & Money”. Demishia’s proven coaching methods and creative, thorough strategies catapult business owners through doors of opportunity, which lead to multiple streams of income and long-lasting relationships with clientele. However, Demishia has not always lived the best of both worlds. When Demishia was 15 years old, she became a mother. She realized at a young age that she would have to do whatever it took to sustain her family. Demishia started her career working at the age of fourteen for a local bank because she never believed in being average. The work ethic and next level attitude she developed as a teen would propel her to become North American IT Employee of Year and create events that empower women in their career and business. She knew that she wanted a better life for her family and herself, so she took the necessary measures to learn all she could while attending college and being an employee at various companies. This rising influencer realized that by being strategic, networking, and having a plan, anyone can find money within or outside of Corporate America.


Demishia is the epitome of someone who creates and implements while others are sleeping; mastering and marketing her many brands, including LaShelle Denise Creative, Taboo Nalia, and Elite Greek Magazine. A proven leader in her immediate and surrounding communities, Demishia is also a dedicated change agent, helping youth find the worth and purpose.

“God did NOT wake you up this morning to be mediocre.”

JACQUE L IN E S M IT H Fund and Grow Your Business Using O.P.M. (Other People’s Money) How I Got Here… The Layoffs… Yes, layoffs, plural... Three layoffs in a human resources career that spanned over 25years. The first time I was laid off was 1997. I was working for a software manufacturer in California. Several warning signs were around me but at the time I did not put them together to recognize that a layoff was imminent. The next layoff came while serving as a Director for a fast-food corporate office also in California. The company made the decision to move the administrative offices several hours away to the central part of the state and since I had two young children at the time, that move was not feasible for me, so, another layoff. The last layoff was a completely different story. I moved my family from Virginia to Massachusetts to take a position as Director of Human Resources for a non-profit agency. I had all but given up on my dreams of being a business owner as the realities of life set in with two children that were about to head off to college. While taking my daughter to start her freshman year of college, that entrepreneurial yearning started bubbling up again. I knew and decided I was not going to spend the rest of my career at that agency. The Rebound… Then, I was introduced to Dawniel Winningham. My original plan was to join Wealthy Sisters Network (now Wealthy Sisters Network International) as a way of networking with other women starting and running businesses locally. It became abundantly clear within a short period that I needed to glean more knowledge from Dawniel before taking on such an awesome responsibility. As I sat and continued to listen to her speak and teach, the entrepreneurial fires started raging yet again. I got my business license, started my business, created my transition plan, and then the bottom fell out. May 18, 2016 was the last time I will ever be laid off from a job again. Just prior to and since leaving the company, I have had the honor of taking instruction and working directly with Dawniel Winningham. I have had the opportunity to be on the platform of two of her events, Las Vegas and Ft. Lauderdale as well as the planning committees of several other initiatives. Collaboration is one of the central themes that surrounds this community which has been forged under Dawniel’s amazing leadership. Through her teaching and mentorship, I have consulted with international clients which in my mind would not be possible until sometime in the distant future. The Future… Under Dawniel’s guidance, in addition to my consulting role I became an author and speaker. I help


women entrepreneurs fund and grow their businesses using O.P.M. (Other People’s Money), specifically in the area of sponsorship. My mission and passion for this year and beyond is to assist a minimum of 1,000 women with obtaining sponsorships for their business. There are several myths associated with sponsorships for small business owners. 1) Sponsorship is only for non-profits; 2) My business must relate to sports to be sponsored; 3) My business is too small to be sponsored; 4) I don’t have enough business experience to be sponsored, are but a few of the prevailing myths related to generating sponsorships. I have made it my business to dispel the myth that sponsorships are confined to only large conglomerates and non-profits. Small business owners are being sponsored every day in many ways for many different business activities. Getting sponsors for your business is not as difficult and daunting as it may sound. There is a process, and once you learn how to go about it the right way you will wonder why you did not previously add sponsorship to your marketing strategy. That is where we come in. We walk you through the entire process of getting your business sponsored as well as how you, even as a small business owner can be a sponsor. On a more personal note, after recently reconnecting with my nursery school classmate, our four children are in college and we are now looking forward to an empty nest. We are currently entertaining suggestions and recommendations for relocating. When I carve out spare time I enjoy connecting with my Aquarian roots near any body of water, travel, photography, and watching airplanes defy gravity with my family, currently in Natick, MA. Jacqueline J. Smith is a strategist, consultant, author, and speaker assisting other women entrepreneurs, coaches, speakers, and authors with funding and growing their businesses using O.P.M. (Other People’s Money) through sponsorship. She is also the CEO of JJ Smith Consulting Group which is the parent company of SLW Media Group, a full-service sponsorship marketing agency.

A

ngela Hon McGowan is a Compassionate, Authentic, Caring and Committed Professional Healthcare Advocate. Empowered with over 20 years of Healthcare experience! Angela’s Core Belief is: “How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything, and that is with EXCELLENCE”! As a Professional Health Advocate, Angela not only assists you in getting your medical bills reduced and turns denials into approvals for Medical procedures, her “Real” purpose and passion is to Teach and Inspire people to become a “Powerful Patient” and not just the doctor’s patient! What is a Powerful Patient, you may ask? A Powerful Patient is “Positive”, “Prepared” and on “Purpose”! It is a well-known fact that “What you think about, you bring about”! When you dwell continuously and consistently on something (good or bad) it will manifest in your life! The Powerful Patient is “Positive” and expects not only to get an appointment with their doctor, but they also believe that the visit will be productive and that during their time with the physician, they are the most important person in that room. The Powerful Patient expects that the dialogue between the doctor and themselves where they explain all of their symptoms and medical issues to result in obtaining a clear diagnosis as they jointly participate in their plan of their care. Angela wants to see everyone become a Powerful Patient; however, the truth of the matter is that when the doctor visit is over, most patients feel anything and everything except “Powerful” and most patients have these five things in common: They have no idea of what really happened during the office visit. They cannot fully communicate the plan of care. They have no idea why they are scheduled for a lab draws and/or any imaging scans. When medications are given, they can’t explain why they received the medication or when they should call the office if they do not experience relief. They do not fully understand why they have a referral appointment or why they did not get a referral appointment. These types of interactions render the patient confused and powerless. They may begin to feel like it is impossible to be heard by their doctor, but most importantly, they fail to be both understood and well cared for by their doctor. The need for a Professional Health Advocate is never seen more clearly than in these interactions. The patient becomes stressed, dealing with the anxiety of what has occurred during the appointment and feels a sense of loneliness and frustration. If what you have just read describes your last

Angela McGowan is dedicated to creating solutions by navigating through the red tape of healthcare issues such as: groups, single, dual coverage, assigned healthcare and primary care physicians vs. out of network specialty care physicians. She continuously achieves resolutions to health benefit issues by obtaining the authorizations required to access the specialty care needed by the patient from their insurance groups and is also committed to arranging long-distance care of a loved one. Her experience in resolving issues that plague the patient, family members and caretakers is in part because of her years of experience. But, the real reason is Angela has personally experienced on a daily basis the turbulent trials and circumstances while working a full-time job as she cared for her beloved husband and soulmate, Willie Ray McGowan. He suffered from CHF--Congestive Heart Failure, while fighting two major catastrophic diseases--Multiple Myeloma and the very painful disease bone cancer. Angela faced the many challenges of continuously getting excellent health care for her loved one, and she was relentless in achieving services for him in all areas of his patient care, i.e. outpatient care, inpatient care, in-home care, and facility care.

“I am purpose-filled because I am fulfilling my purpose each day. ”

JU L IA ROYS TO N Self-Talk: What Do You Tell Yourself? When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you tell yourself? What do you tell yourself when you make a mistake? Do you make it worse with what you say than what you’ve actually done? Probably. Self-Talk can help move you further toward your goals or move your further away from your goals. Why? Life is hard and people have their own problems. They may love you and care about you, but people can’t always attend to your every emotional and mental need. What have I learned? Love Myself - Sure, I should take care of myself, eat better, exercise more and maybe lose weight, but what good is a perfect body with a tormented soul? I first have to fall in love with me. This is not an arrogant, self-centred, self-absorbed, “can’t stand to be around her” type of love. This is a love of myself so that I can be the best self that I was destined to be. Look with New Eyes – When I look in the mirror, I wink, blow kisses and tell myself that I am smart, cute and talented. Sure, I see the defects but call them possibilities. My husband tells me that I’m beautiful, intelligent and that he loves me every day. I am grateful but if he never said it, I have to look myself in the mirror and see someone that is smart enough, good enough, worthy

enough to be a success in every area of my life. It’s how you see yourself and what you tell yourself that matters. Learn New Words – “I’m stupid and probably will never succeed,” isn’t a phrase that you should tell yourself ever. Learn some new words and phrases: “I can do it,” “That didn’t work out like I planned but it’ll be better next time,” “I’m prepared, smart and able to get this done,” If something unforeseen happens, it can be fixed.” Repeat these phrases out loud to yourself until you believe it. Live Out My Purpose – I found my purpose as I walked out my journey. It wasn’t a perfect path because I am not a perfect person. I have made mistakes, bad decisions and trusted some wrong people, but I acknowledged the mistakes, held myself accountable, got back up, got on the right road and got moving even faster than before. I discover more about myself each day, month and year that I live. Each time I say yes to something new, discard the unnecessary, remove all distractions, and love without hesitation, I am greeted with a new gift, talent, ability and opportunity to live. Therefore, because of my past successes, I can tell the honest truth to myself that I can do it because I’ve done it in the past. I can achieve because I have a history of achievement. I am purpose-filled because I am fulfilling my purpose each day.

L ADON L OV E TA K ING PH OTO S W I TH LOTS O F LOV E

By Beth Schwinn, Beth@schwinneditorial.com Photos by Skye Media Headshots are a special part of LaDon Love’s business, Lens and Love Photography. Love remembers the client who was totally at ease talking about her business but became very nervous when the day arrived for the photo shoot. “She remembered that she didn’t like to get photos taken,” Love said. The client fretted over her body type, her facial features, and her overall appearance. Since that kind of tension shows up on film, Love chatted with her during the shoot to help her let go of the feelings. As the woman focused on their conversation, she relaxed and became animated. “At the end, she saw her photos and said, ‘Is

that me?’ I helped her see the beauty that was in her,” Love said. “I told her story.” Love, who has 17 years of photography experience, has filmed four documentaries, but you don’t need video to tell someone’s story, she says. “Capturing moments with photos tells the story of what is happening. A photo speaks a thousand words, but it also tells a million stories. We can lose life at any moment. We need to seize it, capture it, and commemorate it with a photo.” Love has an artist’s eye for the image that encapsulates a moment. She saw storm clouds forming while on the road and pulled over to capture them, asking her son to stand in the foreground of the shot (Love has four children). The sky was so gray, “it looked like a drawing,” she said.


Her son looked as though he had been superimposed on the sky. Through Lens and Love Photography, Love offers three special sessions in addition to the standard wedding and event packages. “Brand Yourself with Love” These are professional headshots for women entrepreneurs and business leaders who want to build their personal brand. Love sets the stage for an image that will reflect the woman’s business and the special skills she brings to it. Imagine receiving images that reflect your personality and your brand! “Love Your Beauty” is an experience that includes skincare advice and a lesson in hands-on makeup application by licensed aesthetician/make-up artist, Hope Joyner. Then, each person has a mini-glam photo session. The experience also includes our Glam-ology approach that fosters collaboration and self-love. You will be changed! “For the Love Of” is a heartfelt photo and video session that focuses on the love between a mother and son. Love says this relationship is often hard to capture on film because many young men are uncomfortable showing emotion for the camera, so Love developed proprietary methods for bringing out their best during the shoot. “It is amazing to see the love in action between mom and son as they engage with each other during the photo shoot.” Love’s favorite shoot is the full “Love Your Beauty” experience package. This experience could include a videographer, hairstylist and makeup artist, as well as

choosing the right clothing and location. can be provided for an individual or a private group. Joyner and Love coordinate a “Love Your Beauty” session four times a year. Although Love’s approach is rooted in self-love, it is this package that allows participants to engage in specialized activities to create practices of self-love. It has a powerful, lasting impact. “Then it’s my job to focus on creating comfort, connection and images that speak to my client. I want her to feel confident and beautiful. I want her to connect with my lens and tell her story through expression, through her face, eyes, body language – her essence. The result will be images that help her see herself for the first time,” Love said. Love studied photography at the Washington School of Photography and through specialized courses led by master photographers. She has won awards and been featured in art galleries. SShe lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, and can be reached at www.lensandlove.com or lensandlove@ gmail.com.

“Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”

PA MEL A W IL L IA MS A Fearless, Life-Changing Psychotherapist Pamela, a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist whose specialty is Family Violence and Intimate Partner Violence, is a passionate advocate and powerful change agent within her community. She exhibits relentless commitment to resolving issues at the root of family violence, bravely exerting a uniquely influential, positive presence. Her courageous solution-oriented work and life-changing results are praised by colleagues, collaborators, and clients. Pamela witnessed family violence first-hand as a child, endured the challenges of being a teenage mother, and then she decided to devote her life to helping bring about positive changes for the benefit of individuals and families whose lives are impacted by violence. She is best known for her fearless, highly effective work as a therapist and counselor who leads psycho-educational group and individual sessions with men who have perpetrated violence upon family members. She partners with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Harris County Family Court system—and works with numerous attorneys, probation officers, and parole officers— to conduct these sessions several times a week. During the sessions, clients have their belief systems challenged through appropriatelyapplied cognitive restructuring techniques and other psycho-educational modalities. At times the sessions can become intense and emotional as clients work through their various issues to assume personal accountability for their actions. Clients who have participated in the sessions have observed Pamela’s bravery and professionalism, commenting that in order to conduct these sessions— which are oftentimes highly-charged and volatile—she must be willing to walk into a veritable “lion’s den.” But Pamela says that being unafraid is an essential calling & responsibility of hers, because without it she could never successfully lead the groups and effectuate change in those who resort to violence. Her fearlessness definitely inspires respect and admiration from the men who participate. Despite working with more than 1,000 men over the past several years she has led these sessions, Pamela has never encountered disrespect from a client toward her or any member of her staff. All of the men who completed the program saw it as an extremely valuable, helpful experience, and none of them considered it without benefit. “Every single one of my graduates from this program has expressed gratitude about the positive impact the program had on their lives,” Pamela says. “Upon completion, they usually state they wish the program had been available to them earlier in life and prior to


offending.” Recently a Harris County judge also personally called her to commend Pamela for her extraordinary success with the psychoeducational group programs. There is growing demand for Pamela’s fearless and effective services; thus, she recently opened a new outpatient center. Beginning in 2017, that facility will provide psychotherapy, coaching, and family/divorce mediation.

Tested Faith.. On November 13, 2015, I was diagnosed with triple negative invasive breast cancer and became the expert in my life. Being diagnosed with the big “C” was like being on set of a movie and the camera lens zoomed in on you. Everything gets dark around you and a light shines down like you’re in the interrogation room. Immediately, you think about your life and how much time you have. Suddenly, there’s a silence and the noise around you muffles out like you’re under water and only your thoughts can be heard. It’s just you, the cancer and your thoughts and you start thinking that life as you know it is over. The Triumph… After my breast cancer diagnosis, I sought refuge in my faith to triumph over this cancer and live my purpose. I was destined to help others make it through the fog by speaking a message of faith and writing a book titled “The Triumph 7 ways to conquer chemo and life your life, ” here I share my experience on how to conquer chemo and live your life. In the beginning, you’ll be on an emotional roller-coaster as your hair is falling out right in front of you. Asking, “Why me?” will fog your brain, so prepare yourself for the days when you just won’t feel your best because the person you see in the mirror is unfamiliar to you. Keeping it all in perspective, you must remember your “why.” Be sure to bless the world with your purpose and take back your life.

TA NDEE SA L T E R When I made the decision to follow my passion of inspiring women, I encountered four different types of people. Each one had their own thoughts about what was best for me. Every time I experienced a conversation with them, I scratched my head and wondered if what they had to say was really for me. The first person’s words to me were, “Who is really going to listen to you and take advice from someone like you?” They only saw the old me and paid no attention to the progress I made; they did not see how much I had grown in all the years they had known me. To them, I was just that girl from back then. I wondered if my past mistakes and situations disqualified me. The second person said to me something like this: “Is that really realistic? Why not just stay where you are and apply for a new position? You have a good job.” They followed that up with “I just don’t understand why you would want to do that.” In their head, it would be more realistic for me to stay at the job and try to grow within the company—it was safer that way. I asked myself if they were right, would it be too much of a risk to start my own business. The third person pretty much dismissed my vision, saying, “That’s a good idea but I think you would be better off becoming a schoolteacher. You know, get them while they are young.” They wanted me to fit into a box. They wanted me to accept their idea was the best direction for me. I looked into the idea, but something just didn’t click for me. After all of that, I took some time to look at the people around me. I quickly realized I had to make some adjustments to my circle. I had to connect with others who believed in me and my vision, and that’s when I found the fourth type of person: The person who was willing to cheer me on and push me towards my vision. They said, “Go for it! You can do it.” On your journey, you are almost guaranteed to encounter each of these people and you will see them more than once, especially when it is time for you to go to a new level. The key here to is learn to be confident in your power to make your dreams come true!

Psalm 27:13-14 AMPC “[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.”

TR ACEY G E ORG E There you are on top of the mountain one minute, then in the valley the next. You’ve dreamed. You’ve had goals. You’ve had plans. . .concrete ones; yet nothing to show for it. Or perhaps, you’ve started on the path of pursuing your purpose and somehow became stuck. What stranded you? What caused you to feel like, “blah?” The numerous promises that fell through the cracks and the times you felt cheated by family, friends, or business associates left a sour taste in your mouth. Life has handed you a bowl of lemons and no matter what you do, it still seems to be just a bowl of lemons. You are the brave one; yet the fiery passion that moved you beyond the everyday humdrum is now dim. You’ve lost that loving feeling and you wonder, “how do I ever get it back?” Sometimes things happen in life that leave us baffled, or in utter shock. During those moments, we tend to isolate ourselves, tell everyone we are fine, and remain in the cave until the dark cloud is gone. Let this message of encouragement empower you today. The scripture reminds us of three things… .to wait, hope for, and expect the Lord. Life happens… indeed. Hence, the reason we need the Lord’s gentle reminders to guide us through the storm: this, too, shall pass. He also sends into our life those that reflect His voice of encouragement, especially when we feel a bit weary. No matter how brave we are, there are times when we need a lift. So, here’s a quick pick me up to help you through the moment: God’s got it! He’s given you the ability to endure the wilderness and winter seasons of life no matter what! Regardless of what it looks like, stay the course and remain faithful! Don’t throw in the towel—just trust Him and watch Him work through you! How do I know? I’ve lived it! Hang in there, for your waiting is not in vain. You will see the goodness of the Lord in your land!

“God will never give you a dream without giving you the means to manifest it!” -Tanieka Vance Randall

TA NIE KA RA N DA L L Tanieka (Tee) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and is currently located in Houston, TX. Tanieka is happily married with four beautiful children. She is a successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, International Inspirational Speaker, Oncology Registered Nurse and 5 year Leukaemia survivor. Tanieka has always had a passion for helping others which lead her to pursue nursing. In 2011, Tanieka faced her greatest battle: cancer. During the process, she lost all of her hair but gained something much greater: a profound passion for growing healthy hair. After re-growing her hair, Tanieka created Tee’s Hair Secret, a line of natural haircare products featuring her personal staple, the bestselling Glorious Growth Hair and Scalp Oil. Tanieka’s haircare products are used by women worldwide as part of their healthy hair routine. This passion for healthy hair has also led Tanieka to become a Trichologist (hair and scalp specialist) so that she may create products to better cater to different hair issues including post chemotherapy patients; as well as those with have health-, medication-, stress- and environmentally-related hair problems. Tanieka teaches women how to achieve their healthy hair goals by becoming more knowledgeable and active in their hair care. Tanieka is a PK (Preacher’s Kid) that struggled with her belief in God. She now has a crazy love for God and openly shares her testimony to encourage others. Tanieka’s next addition to her resume will be to become a Christian Thought Transformation Specialist. Over the years, Tanieka has mastered how to transform her life by transforming her thoughts. Tanieka grew up in a household that lived paycheck to paycheck and received commodities from the government. Tanieka grew up in what could be called poverty, but she did not let that stop her from pursuing a better life. Tanieka was determined to break free of money restrictions. Tanieka got her first job at the age of sixteen, making $5.15/ hr. In her twenties, Tanieka also worked a minimum wage job and received food stamps, but always felt that she was meant for more. Tanieka finally decided to get out of her comfort zone, and her life started changing. Tanieka was faced with years or struggle and hardships. Finally, in 2015, she set a goal to make $100,000.00 by the summer of 2016, an amount Tanieka previously thought was unattainable to her. Tanieka surpassed that goal before 2015 ended and has now set her aim much higher! Tanieka teaches people that they, too, can accomplish any dream they have for themselves. Tanieka once had low self-esteem—she now teaches others how to get above that. Tanieka is looking forward to traveling around the world in 2017, inspiring and motivating women to change their minds so that they can change their lives for the better. Tanieka’s ultimate goal is to help millions of women discover their potential and confidently walk in their God-given purpose.

‘I possess the gift of storytelling…’ L IL A HOL L E Y Award-winning author Lila Holley is the recipient of the IALA (Indie Author Legacy Award) 2016 Trailblazer of the Year award. She is creating an environment for military women to share their incredible stories by using books, online radio, magazine, and live events as her platforms. This combat veteran is a two-time Amazon best-selling author who uses her books and real life lessons learned from her own struggles to help other service members. Her first #1 best-selling book, Battle Buddy: Maneuvering the Battlefield of Transitioning from the Military, chronicles the emotional struggles she encountered during her transition from the Army following her 22-year career. She knows firsthand the challenges Veterans experience while trying to settle into civilian life. This retired Army Officer is also the visionary author behind the groundbreaking book Camouflaged Sisters: Revealing Struggles of the Black Woman’s Military Experience. Lila partnered with 13 Sisters-inArms to write the first ever book that chronicles the military experiences of African American women. The book focuses on transition, leadership, mentorship, balance and faith – topics any woman can relate with. This book is a must read for military women who are serving, have served, or are working in a male-dominated profession. The second segment, Camouflaged Sisters: Silent No More was released in November 2016. This book gives a voice to the warrior who has suffered in silence, the soldier who has been plagued by pain, and the woman who will no longer stand for injustice, but will rise up as a victor and speak her truth. These are the stories of sexual trauma, domestic violence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder – challenges women in the military fight every day. These days, this retiree shares her passion to tell the incredible stories of the military women she refers to as her sisters. She believes their stories are valuable and need to be shared with the world. Lila and her sisters have contributed greatly to the history of the US military, making history even today as more opportunities continue to open up to servicewomen. Lila encourages her Sisters-in-Arms to share their stories. She believes military women need to raise their voices because no one can tell their stories better than they can.


“Do One Thing Everyday that Scares You.” Eleanor Roosevelt

VA NESSA ME C H E L L E According to Google, 97% of consumers use the web to search for local businesses – and if the vast majority of your potential customers are online, you should be, too. Having a strong online presence is a crucial component of your marketing strategy, no matter what size your business is or what industry it belongs to. Building your online presence is not just something that happens overnight; however, it’s very important because your online presence is what allows people to find you, interact with you, and get to know, like and trust you. There’s a lot that goes into building your online presence: establishing your goals, actually creating your different profiles and accounts, building a website (your home base), and figuring out the best ways to engage and interact across these different mediums. Here are a few tools that make it easy to monitor and improve your online brand. Your website Your website is a centralized place where people can go to learn more about what you have to offer, contact you, and interact and engage with your content. Social media Social media is an important part of your online presence that improves your chances of generating additional revenue and building customer loyalty. It allows customers, potential customers and other interested parties to engage easily via a channel that plays an important role in their everyday lives. Building relationships Find a group or online community that is made up of individuals who share the same interests or who run similar businesses in your industry or niche. Then, start building relationships with them through providing value and being an active member in the group. Provide Value A blog, a podcast, videos or books—whatever form that content takes, make sure it’s consistent and valuable.


Creating consistent and valuable content will help you gain credibility and authority in your industry or niche, which is important for your online growth and visibility.

Psalm 27:13-14 AMPC “[What, what would havebecomeof me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope f or and expect the Lord; be braveand of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait f or and hope for and expect the Lord.”

Balance Your Life By Not Doing It All Do you ever wonder if there is such a thing as having life balance? Are you someone who struggles with creating balance with all of the responsibilities you have? As business women, there are times when it feels like you put forth a lot of effort to balance several tasks on a very small plate. As you follow your daily routine of creating balance, you may notice that some of those tasks are on the edge of the plate. One sudden move and they will start falling. Your body tells interesting stories when it starts to speak--the problem comes when we fail to listen. While trying to create balance you want to avoid feeling overwhelmed or stressed, which may cause you to have a meltdown. A meltdown can be brought on by the simplest thing: one minute you are sitting in the car or lying in the bed with a happy heart, and the next minute you are crying uncontrollably with a feeling of despair. When the tears start flowing, perhaps that is an indication that it is time to make a transition in your lifestyle. Consider these few practices to assist you in avoiding meltdowns and creating balance in your life. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Identify the tasks that can be handled by someone else with little to no micromanaging. Create organization in your office and mind. Clear out the clutter and organize your office. Surround yourself with the right tools that will allow you to effectively do your job. A de-cluttered office will lead to a de-cluttered mind and the feeling of being overwhelmed will dissipate. Manage your time wisely. When meeting, create an agenda that includes the purpose, intended goal, and action steps for all involved. When there is an agenda, you may discover that a 60 minute meeting may only require 30 minutes. Time is something you cannot get back. Therefore, managing your time wisely is important. Stop giving your stuff away. Create a healthy balance by being selective when you are giving your stuff away. What I mean by “stuff” is your time, energy and effort. The power of ‘NO’ should become a major word in your vocabulary. Take time to enjoy life. The world will not come to an end if you invest in yourself and disappear for a few days. Leave the computer at home, hop on a plane and step away from it all. Take time to remember you. You have proven that you are equipped with the skills and resource to do it all; however, that does not mean you always have to. Give yourself permission to create balance in your life by following these simple steps—you will be amazed by the overall transition that starts to take place.
