Crowned Opulence

When our money is wrong, nothing is right.

This is not a statement that’s up for debate - and it shouldn’t be viewed as materialistic either!

Money represents our ability to meet our desired opulent outcome: provide the life that we want for ourselves and for our loved ones. And to have the resources, we need to strengthen our business or any income-generating initiative that we have on our plates.

This episode is all about tips from past episodes of this podcast that we can implement to instantly improve our businesses. While you may already be familiar with some of them, you might be coming from a place of neglect or overconfidence so you’re not seeing the results in your own business.

Here are 6 Tips that will lead you to the opulent outcome you desire for your business:

• Tip #1 - Invest in the most important asset - YOU! (From Episode 34 - Live Your Life as a Business) 
• Tip #2 - Develop your strategy first and execute through your tactics (From Episode 48 - Tactic Without Strategy is the Noise Before Defeat)
• Tip #3 - Build a sales and marketing strategy to meet your revenue goals (From Episode 42 - What’s The Difference Between Sales & Marketing?)
• Tip #4 - Diversity your promotion strategies and presence in social media platforms (From Episode 44 - The 6-Prong Approach to Creating Your Marketing Strategy)
• Tip #5 - Be intentional and get comfortable with networking (From Episode 40 - Who’s on Your Board?)
• Tip #6 - Remember that you are a brand - package yourself accordingly! (From Episode 46 - Market Yourself Like a Product)

Relating to someone other than oneself is a basic human need that lends itself to different relationship archetypes: the nurturing mother, the supportive friend, the romantic lover.

But the complications and confusion come when we suddenly have relationships that don’t fit into these archetypes. What if the mother is neglectful or overbearing instead of nurturing? What if the friend is distant or unavailable instead of supportive? What if the significant other is far from romantic and not at all loving or caring?

This is a fun episode to listen to because we will untangle all the complexities that every relationship presents. We use the word “fun” loosely, because though the topics and issues tackled may be heavy, serious, or seem a little bit convoluted, my guests have been nothing but interesting, inspiring, and engaging, not to mention generous enough in dishing out invaluable life lessons. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• How to manage expectations from long-distance friendships (From Episode13 - That’s What Friends Are For) 
• A man, your man, and the space and grace to be the man (From Episode 4- Waffles or Spaghetti: Understanding Masculine and Feminine Energies part 1)
• Spaghetti and waffle brains - how men and women are wired differently (From Episode 5- Waffles or Spaghetti: Understanding Masculine and Feminine Energies part 2)
• The evolution of femininity, intimidation of white men, and the importance of intention-setting  (From Episode 30- Cream In Your Coffee)
• Green, yellow and red flags and recognizing abuse (From Episode 10- Fairytale Love Turned Abusive Nightmare)
• Sex partners, overcoming traumas and personal demons (From Episode 27- Let’s Talk About Sex Part 1)
• Knowing your value and nothing being wrong with requiring to be bougie (From Episode 29- Dating After Divorce)
• Being submissive and having a partner aligned with God (From Episode 11- Thinking Like A Dude Could Cost You Your “I Do’s”)
• Defense mechanism for pain vs. allowing yourself to be hurt, relationship with God (From Episode 49- Are You Intimate with Yourself?)

I’m sure each clip selected from this collection of episodes will teach you a thing or two - and surely more - about the relationships you have in your own life.

Conducting a SWOT analysis of your business is a lot more fun than it sounds.  Doing it forces you to think about your business in a whole new way. The point of a SWOT analysis is to help you develop a strong business strategy by making sure you’ve considered all of your business’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and threats it faces in the marketplace.

The depth of a SWOT analysis will depend on what you are analysing. In this episode, I share tips on how you can go about conducting a simple SWOT analysis for your business or career, critical questions to ask yourself, and how to identify potential opportunities depending on the results of your analysis.
