Are you feeling unfulfilled in your career?

 

DO YOU HAVE A CREATIVE PASSION TO FULFILL?

 

How Do You Quit A Job You Hate?

 

After being in business for many years, I see first hand how owning a business can be life-changing on so many levels.

 

So, How Do You Quit Your Job To Make More Money?

Making money in business is so much more than showing up for an exchange of product and funds.  

 

But, I get it, you just want out! 

 

Facing burnout, long hours and unfulfilling careers, many people turned to entrepreneurship over the last two years.

 

Some quickly went out of business because of no plan.

 

In today's episode, I talk about when it's time to quit your job and pivot into owning your own business. 

 

Many people are turning to entrepreneurship as a way to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives. It can be a challenge, but it's definitely worth it.

 

The truth is, entrepreneurship can also have ebbs and flows of burnout.

 

You need the right plan and solutions for starting a business off on the right foot

 

In this episode, I talk about the process of quitting your job and pivoting into owning your own business. It's an important decision, and I want to make sure you're prepared for it.

 

Grab your coffee and get ready for the truth about leaving your job to start a business

3. Help Your Child Understand Long Term Goals: Help your child understand that it is not just the grades that matter, but also the effort he or she puts into schoolwork.

 

4. Normalize a Space for Positive Thinking : Affirmations before school, Expectations and Hard work will be normal and welcomed. Help your child develop a positive attitude towards school by talking about the things he or she likes about school, such as friends, teachers, and activities.

How We Miss God Through Religion

 

Today, I sit down and talk to author Micheal Ward about

Religion vs Relationship with God.

 

We also talk about different religions, how to read the Bible in a year, and what are the fruits of the spirit?

 

Oftentimes, we can miss a wholesome relationship with God with religion. Religion can be rule based, where as, our relationship with God is heart-based.

 

In his book The Sixth Sola, Micheal explains a clear relationship with God, and how to grow deeper with God by reading the Bible each day. His framework will help you map out a plan to complete your goal to grow with God.

Michael Joseph Ward (born July 7, 1961) is the youngest of four of a split Roman Catholic/Presbyterian/Lutheran family.

Due to the complexity of the various messages heard, he developed a system of reading the New Testament, one chapter a day, in pursuit of the essential message amongst the many promoted by others.

It became clear that no one "Church" owned the message, but our common Scriptures suggest a core principle to walk in the Spirit. We are each called to a renewed mind, a transformation for every moment, as we have another day to produce more fruit of the Spirit for God's creation.

His first book, "The Sixth Sola' is released in June 2020.

We have a deep discussion about conflict resolution and relationships

Conflict is inevitable, but it can be managed. When conflict arises in the workplace and you feel like reaching for a weapon or storming out of an office building because your co-workers are driving you crazy with all their constant fighting about who should do what task next; don't start thinking this way! Conflict isn't necessarily bad—it just may lead to problems if left unchecked

We also talked about

You're going to get so many gems from this episode!

 

Heres some things I've learned about conflict:

How to deal with conflict at work

Maintaining healthy relationships at work takes time (and sometimes patience) so that everyone's happy.

Emotions can run high due simply from not understanding each other.

So many times we end up blowing up at work instead of realizing our potential to operate on one accord.

How to deal with conflict in a team

When team building, we must create ways that everyone feels supported and engaged. We also need to find ways to prevent or resolve conflict so that it doesn't become a roadblock to success.

How to deal with conflict in a relationship

The best relationships are built on the principles of respect, responsibility and trusting each other. Healthy conflict can help us learn about our partner's strengths as well as any areas where they need improvement so we have a better chance at success together!

Read about the wisdom of forgiveness and the possibilities that exist for us in our lives she shared with fellow pilgrims along the way; encounters of the heart, feet, and stomach; meals, and wine shared; hallowed places visited and an ancient night-time Easter pageant with masked drummers. She revels in the joy of experiencing the beauty of the natural environment in Northern Spain. She collects heart-shaped rocks to share, and stamps on her Pilgrim Passport to earn the Compostela official certificate.
