My Rough Draft

Key Takeaways

1. Identify your values and strengths. Communicate how they bring RESULTS.

2. Create a SIGNATURE LOOK.

3. Utilize Social Networking PERIOD specifically LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

4. Forget the myth that your Personal Brand has to always be PROFESSIONAL. Forget the myth that your personal brand has to be EITHER professional OR creative OR lifestyle. We want to see all of YOU.

5. Understand that your PERSONAL BRAND has little do with you and more about who is called TO YOU.

Bonus tip : 6. BECOME first. DO second. Your personal BRAND first starts from your personal BEING. Who you are WITHIN will show who you are OUTWARDLY.

TIME STAMPS & KEY NOTES

5:54 // I know that I’m not going to get everything done today, but I’m going to do what I can with the grace I have for today.

Read Hebrews 4 

10:30 // ONE // Step back & understand the bigger picture. God’s view of you goes far beyond what you do. 

18:15 // TWO // God can do more than less because when His hand is on it, it’s on IT.

22:04 // THREE // Raise your Expectations and Standards 

25:02 // FOUR // Raise the level of Quality

27:26 // FIVE // Relax your timeline

FINAL AFFIRMATION //  I understand that God is my Source. He has everything planned and worked out in His timing. Because He lives in me, I can work in rest and confidence knowing I’m being led through my gifts and talents. Everything can’t happen in on day. But, I won’t take for granted the importance to be faithful with each day. I won’t lose sight of what really matters today.

Key Takeaways | Nehemiah 1-8

1 Rebuild your passion for the "people" God has called you to. Find your passion for the place vs only seeking to go to a higher "place". Pray & fast for the people God has called to you consistently. Do the research to learn their true problems and needs.

2 Learn the balance between speaking out in boldness and moving in silence. 

3 Expect Opposition. Know that opposition shows in many different forms. 

4 Delegate & organize your work. Build the proper system while you're starting out/small.

Takeaways from today's episodes:

The way to growth is simplification. 

- I simplified my overall goal in my work and business by reconnecting with my OVERALL WHY in life.

- I simplified my tools and methods in my work+ business by….eliminating unnecessary subscriptions, simplifying my apps, making smart investments, and focusing on consistency vs growth. 

- I simplified my tools and methods in my work + business by investing smart. This takes honest evaluation. The right investment at the wrong time is still a bad investment. Get clear on your vision so that you can get clear on what you actually need, and pray for discernment.

- Focus on consistency vs growth. If people’s affirmations determine your work ethic, you will never be stable in any plan God has for you. We allow THEM to control what’s supposed to be dedicated to HIM.

- Give yourself a timeline of consistency before you start something new or invest. What’s one small way you can invest your time and what you currently have to build momentum?

- I simplified my IDEAS by doing an honest evaluation of my time and resources to set realistic expectations.

- I simplified my IDEAS by limiting my knowledge intake and focusing more on my  application output.

- I simplified my IDEAS by sticking to what God tells me to say.
