This is National Women's Small Business Month, and we are continuing our celebration of Women Business Owners with our special guest Michelle Gardner-Ince a.k.a. "G-I". Michelle is an award-winning transformational leader with over two decades of experience. Michell Gardner-Ince is a Military Veteran, retired Air Force Colonel, the founder of G-I Strategic Solutions, and the current Director of Woman Veteran-Owned Small Business Initiative for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. She is on a mission to bring female veteran entrepreneurs together, and to position and enable them to achieve their definition of success, as well as assist with overcoming the obstacles that often stand in the way. Listen to this episode as Michelle "G-I" shares her top tips to help you become a great leader and  achieve the level of business success you desire.  

As a business owner we wear many different hats.  However, at some point we will need to take off a hat or two and work with other people to achieve our goals. Working with a team of independent contractors, or employees, requires effective leadership skills. As the leader you are responsible for sharing your vision and goals with the team, this serves as everyone's roadmap to success.  

Every leader needs to develop their own style. But a leader's level of enthusiasm, and their ability to communicate as well as delegate are essential to creating a thriving company culture. Tracking KPI's is important, but empowering our team will give them the confidence to take the actions necessary that will allow us as a company to meet or exceed our KPI's. As the saying goes "It takes teamwork to make the dream work". 

You can continue the conversation by connecting with Michelle Gardner-Ince on LinkedIn. And be sure to join her every Wednesday at 7:00PM (EST) for her Linkedin LIVE - Equity in Government Contracting.

October is National Women's Small Business Month and we are celebrating all month long. This month "The Secrets of Earning Money Show" will be highlighting Women Entrepreneurs and Business Owners daily on our social media platforms. In today's episode we talk about stats and tips on how women business owners contribute to the economy and things we can do to increase our chances creating a successful business. 

Approximately 50% of women-owned businesses are in three (3) industries - Other Services, Healthcare and Social Assistance, and Professional/Scientific Services. Women owned businesses generate over $1.8 Trillion in revenue and employ 8% of the workforce. We have made so great strides of the years, but with only 26 Women CEO's at Fortune 500 Companies, and 88% of Women Entrepreneurs generating less than $100k in revenue, we still have a long way to go to level the playing field in business. 

We Women are a driving force in the global economy. We account for 36% of all small businesses, yet we only receive 7% of venture capital funding. Many Women-Owned businesses are started from scratch. And 61% of Black Women Business Owners self fund 100% of their business start-up costs. There are many challenges all business owners face but studies show that some of the main challenges are lack or support, or encouragement, and access resources. There are many organizations that offer resources to help small business owners, and Women Business Owners specifically, to succeed. Be sure to reach out to the SBA (Small Business Administration, your local SBDC (Small Business Development Office), the Women's Business Chamber of Commerce, as well as many other Women Business organization for assistance and to connect with like minded Women Entrepreneurs.

This is Life Insurance Awareness Month and we've been celebrating all month long. Today we are joined by a special guest Tianya Edgerton. Tianya is a 16 year veteran of the financial services industry and licensed in both insurance and investments. She is the proud owner of Tianya Edgerton State Farm Insurance Agency. In today's episode Tianya gives her top recommendations on Life Insurance. Listen now to find out why she says "Life Insurance is the gift that keeps on giving". 

Over 100 million Americans say they either don't have Life Insurance or do not have enough Life Insurance. And when asked, the number one reason they give is they believe Life Insurance is expensive. However according to Life Happens and LIMRA, most Americans overestimate the cost of Life Insurance by three times the amount it actually costs.  

Many say their family would experience financial hardship if the primary income earner unexpectedly passed away.  Yet, approximately 47% of American adults are delaying their purchase of Life Insurance. Knowing the negative financial impact your death could cause your loved ones should be enough to inspire you to take action and purchase a Life Insurance policy now, or if nothing else get an accurate quote. It costs nothing to call and speak with an agent, but it could mean everything to your family during their time of need.  

You can connect with Tianya Edgerton by visiting her website www.CoveredByTianya.com on Facebook: Tianya_Agency or call (703)751-1918.

National Self-Improvement Month is here! How are you celebrating Self-Improvement Month this September? If there's a change you would like to make in your life or business, what's stopping you from taking action? Well, in today's episode we'll talk about Self-Improvement and give you tips and resources to help you get off the Self-Improvement rollercoaster, and make Self-Improvement changes that last. 

Self-Improvement isn't as complicated or complex as the $11 billion dollar industry makes it seem. Self-Improvement is nothing more than you simply making a decision to change and then taking action to improve yourself, your life and or business. Your Self-Improvement journey should be personally selected by YOU not someone else.  

Many of us treat our goals for Self-Improvement like a rollercoaster ride, we're excited so we jump in a go full steam ahead then over time our excitement fizzles out. Then something gets us excited again, and we start the process all over. The problem is that many of us have not made the decision to make lasting change because the goal we chose was something other people or society as a whole told us we should make our goal. However, when we set a goal for Self-Improvement it needs to be a goal that we truly believe will make a difference in our life, and or our business, so we will have the fortitude to stick with it until our goal is achieved, so the change will be long lasting.

There are endless possibilities as to what YOU can choose for your Self-Improvement goal. It could be improved health, reading more, reducing stress, finding love, elevating your presentation or money management skills, learning something new, or finally finishing those important activities you been putting on the back burner for months, if not years. Whatever it is that you want to improve about yourself, in your life or in your business, there is no better time to get started than right now. As we are closing out the 3rd Quarter of the year, starting now gives you the opportunity to end this year strong. And it gives you a jumpstart on making next year your best year yet.

Here's a list of recommended books and courses: Lead The Field by Earl Nightingale; The Science of Achievement by Napoleon Hill; Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill; Think and Grow Rich a Black Choice by Dennis Kimbro a The Napoleon Hill Foundation; Think and Grow Rich a Latino Choice by Lionel Sosa and The Napoleon Hill Foundation; Act Like a Success by Steve Harvey; Who Owns the Ice House by Clifton Taulbert; Multiple Streams of Income by Robert G Allen; The Success Principles by Jack Canfield; and Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz.

This is Life Insurance Awareness Month and we are celebrating all month long. Today we are joined by our expert guest Ray Perry Jr. Ray has is a licensed financial professional. He has over four decades of experience in public service. In 2016 he began focusing on his passion to empower people and families to become their best through the "Five F's" - Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance and Friendship. You can often hear Ray say "If you can see the vision, catch the vision, and you can have that vision for life!" 

Financial Wellness is trendy right now, but hopefully it is a trend that will stand the test of time. With money issues being the number one reason for divorce and running out of money in retirement being the number one fear, Financial Wellness is essential to living an enjoyable life. Financial Wellness isn't just about the dollar amount in your bank account, because you can have a 7 figure bank account because of working yourself into an early grave. So what good would it have done you to have worked so hard just to have to spend all the money you earned on medical care instead of being able to enjoy the life you dreamed of, in your later years. Just like you invest your time in eating healthy and exercising regularly to improve your overall wellness, you should also  invest your time learning how to earn, save, invest and manage your money to improve your Financial Wellness. Listen to this episode as Ray gives you his Top Tips to help you understand why Life Insurance is the foundation of your Financial Wellness.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month and we'll be talking about Life Insurance all month long. Today's episode talks about why planning in advance and having a Life Insurance Policy in place is important, but even more so for women. Many of us think nothing of opening a jar of jelly, pouring a glass of water, feeding and dressing ourselves until something happens and either we or our loved one are unable to perform these simple daily living tasks. Doing financial and Life Insurance planning in advance can help ease any negative financial impact that may arise from a unexpected life changing event. Life changing events can happen at any time and, with the majority of people living paycheck to paycheck, one financial setback can make it extremely difficult to recover from. 

Studies show that 75% of caregivers are women and that women make up 65% of the elderly poor, which highlights the need for women to make financial literacy, as well as financial and insurance planning, a priority.  There is no limit to the amount of advice out there on insurance and financial planning. The key is creating a plan that is right for you and your financial situation. Don't just rely on the general advice given by influencers, both big and small.  Do your own research by reading books, taking classes, watching videos, talking to friends, and  sitting down with professionals that understand your unique circumstances so you can create a plan that works for you and your loved ones.

August is Black Business Month and we are celebrating all month. Today we are joined by a special guest Tina Jackson. Tina is a "Skincareologist", with over two (2)decades of experience as a licensed cosmetologist. She has overcome sickness, domestic violence and self-esteem issues and has become the Diva she once was by taking control of her mind and environment. Now, as a Mother, Grandmother, author and Entrepreneur she is on a mission to inspire girls and women to understand that true beauty is an inside job, as well as leave a legacy of love.  

Many people in our society equate their value, or worth, with their looks or the balance in their bank account. However, a person's true worth is the content of their character. Material things are nice, they make you comfortable, and make life more enjoyable. But at the end of the day, it's just stuff that can be completely wiped away in the blink of an eye by a sudden catastrophe. Having perfect hair, perfect makeup and designer clothes may make you look good on the outside, and win the admiration of others, but it doesn't necessarily make you will feel good internally. True beauty and happiness is an inside job, it comes from how you feel about yourself not the things you own, clothes you wear, the balance in your bank account, or what other people say or think about you. On of my favorite quotes, from Eleanor Roosevelt, is "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" is a phrase that will help you remember all the great things you have to offer this world. And, if the people you're keeping company with don't appreciate or recognize what's great about you, then find a new group of people to surround yourself with that do.

Listen to toady's episode as Tina gives you some great tips on building inner power to you can create the image you desire, and achieve your goals in business as well as everyday life. You can connect with Tina on her Facebook Business Page: Tina Skin Diva Tips and Talents,   Instagram: @tinaskindiva7, or by Email: [email protected].
