There are things that happen in each of our lives that can be life altering. The loss of a loved one, a major accident or injury, a bad relationship, all of these can spin our world in such a way that it feels like we will never be the same again.

We all need coping techniques, especially in the early stages of the loss of a loved one and International Best Selling Author Wanda Faye Williams shares from her book, “Coping with the love of a loved on” skills to be able to to just that.

To truly thrive out of a situation we then need to learn to find gratitude within the situation. International Best Selling Author GLenis Hargreaves shows us how as she shares tips from her book, “Gratitude Transformation”

Do you know; What starts out right ends up right, but what starts out wrong may never get right.

If you have never heard that saying before then this is a phrase you will want to add to your checklist. Good starts and bad starts controlling the destiny of a project may be one of the most true elements in life and business.

You will find that it is so very true that when you start off right you head the right way but when you start off heading the wrong way or doing the wrong thing often the course remains off the entire time until we stop and restart correctly.

Sadly it is true that no matter how many times we find this to be true we find ourselves thinking we we can cheat this basic life principle. So, we just jump into a new project or a new relationship with no plan and no thought…

…and what happens?

DISASTER.

Next thing we know we are WAY off course in a place we told ourselves we wouldnt end up at again. Or worse, we look around and realize we have no idea where you are going or maybe even where you are.

My dad used to say. “if you don’t have time to do it right the first time when are you going to have time to fix it?” Ironically we still find ourselves diving into things with no plan and no regard for what we told ourselves we would learn from the last time.

Why does this keep happening? It may be excitement, lack of experiences or even hope, that can get in the way of out execution. We dont intent to fail. We believe in what we are doing. But because we don’t have a plan we find our project, our relationships that showed such great promise spinning out of control.

Why is this?

Perhaps more than for any other reason it is because our lack of planning has caused us to have no way of defining success or failure and no map to determine if we are on the right road. So it is no surprise we are lost.

Before you worry that you dont know how to launch a new company or a new product. That you are lost knowing how to create a plan that will give you the best chance of success? We are going to help you learn how to develop a plan.

When it comes to product development and building a plan that starts out right and puts you on the course for success host Steve Kidd is delighted to share with you someone that he guarantees there is no one that is better suited to teaching us how to develop a product and a launch that will succeed. The very woman who does product development for the 1st ever publically traded motivation and coaching company Motivating the Masses.

Dont miss this incredible opportnuity to learn from an amazing friend and coach Nicole Roberts Jones. Nicole is going to talk with us and help us learn how to create a plan that starts out right and helps us be Thriving Entrepreneurs

There is power in saying Yes, But there is also extreme power in saying NO. It doesnt have to be a harsh, cruel or rude thing. It is simply a matter of value. It is important that we are not just valuing everyone else. It is so easy to give no value to ourselves. Often we dont even see how amazing we are, or how important our time is. When we say yes to everything we diminish our own personal value, but we also trivialize how important our yes is. If anyone can ask you anything at any time and you simply say yes, where is the value in that. If our yes to our spouse, our children, our best friend is no more special than to a complete stranger, does that mean we truly value the most important people in our lives?

No is so powerful. No can free you. No can allow you to really show respect and value to everyone. AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY TO YOURSELF

Today we are joined by International Best Selling Author Jen Gaudet as she share with us powerful insight and techniques from her book “Over My Dead Body: the Art of Saying NO”. This episode will empower you with skill to live as a Thriving Entrepreneur

Here is a new mantra for you. “Hard Workers Work Hard and Networkers Move UP!”
We were all taught by our parents to work hard and we will succeed. It turns out that hard work is only about 20% of the pathway to success. The other 80% is Networking. We need to be seen by the people at work. We need to be top of mind when it comes to giving project lead to someone or the next promotion. Sadly the person with their head down working hard but unnoticed is not the person whos name comes up in the meeting with the executives. It is the person who yes applies themselves but more importantly is an intregal part of the company culture that is the person that get promoted.

This isnt an excuse to quit working hard it is a call to understand that if no one sees you, no one knows about your hard work. What do you want to accomplish in your career? Who knows this? Whose help and advice within the company are you taking to learn what the company is looking for and what it takes to get there?
Today Steve is joined by International Best Selling Author Crystal Khalil to talk about her book “Hard Workers Work Hard and Networkers Move UP: Accelerate Your Career 10x Faster” On Thriving Entrepreneur

We are constantly bombarded with voices telling us who we are, what to be and what to believe. The outside voices may or may not impact us depending on who they are coming from, but the dangerous and diabolic voice is the one inside our own head talking trash to us and about us. We all have it. That little voice that tells us we cant, when we know we can. That tells us this time it wont work out. We hear that voice and all too often we believe it and give in to this trash. This is something we need to learn to combat and effectively win against. WHY? Because there is so much you are meant to do and in order to attain the life you are meant to live you cannot allow room for this head trash to rule you.

Your life is meant for great things. You are meant to not only succeed, but to do so in a way that is significant. After all the money, all the glory fades, the life of significance is what last. This life of significance is your destiny. It is what you were made for.

The “REAL” you is an amazing person! You are a person who was made to fill a specific purpose! The World NEEDS YOU!!!

Once you embrace that you can let go of the old message that tells you that you are weird or not “normal”. What you need to be is not what others tell you to be but rather the best version of you that you can be. The question in all of our lives is, “who is running the show?”.

Are we living our life and running our business because it is how we SHOULD do it? Or are we embracing who we are and allowing our strengths to shine? Most importantly is to understand just how important who we are is and not let the person we are “supposed” to be drive the car that is our life.

Often we have not been taught how to be the best us. When this happens everything in our life and business falls quickly into chaos and confusion. This is a trap we want to avoid. Not only do we want to be our best but we need to know how we were meant to live our best.

So today listen to the episode to:

  1. Understand the the “seats” in our lives and how they impact all we do
  2. Find out what it means to live in our front seat
  3. Discover what happens when we are in our backseat
    4 Find out how to begin living life in your front seat today

Special guest therapist, author, speaker and live coach Jessica Butts will help you understand that often the areas we feel marginalized in are because a part of our personality is not the common type or it difficult or even impossible to fully live in an embrace the way our society is set up. You do not need to be like everyone else or do what they do. In fact trying to be something you are not is one of the most exhausting and impossible. You need to do you!

What does it mean to be a person of influence? Is being a person of influence something you strive for? When you look around your day to day life who do you influence?

Often even when we dont recognize it we are influencing people. We all have such a dramatic impact in the lives of others. The question becomes what kind of influence are we having in other people’s lives? How are we using the influence that we have and is it the impact we intend. First acknowledging how our lives influence others and then being intentional about our influence is a key component in our success in both life and business.

The impact we are making on our world, the influence we bring to the planet determines much of the outcomes in our lives.

When we want to grow our company, what we are actually doing is growing our influence. That is we are expanding the impact we are having on the people we come in contact with. Our influence isnt based on how much we know. Our impact on others is based in how well we can share with others what we do know.

You have heard it said that all you need to do is share what you have learned with someone who hasnt learned it yet. THAT is being a person of influence! And it is in the sharing of our life lessons, both or struggles and our victories that we truly connect with others.

No matter what product or service you sell, being a person of influence will help your company grow!

So to help us with this today Thriving Entrepreneur host Steve Kidd is joined by Callum Laing a well known connector and trainer in the SE Asia market. Callum is going to help us understand our influence and learn how to grow it.

Do you know what perhaps the most powerful and underutilized tool you have in your life and your business is?
Would it surprise you to know it is your VOICE

We take our voices for granted, yet often it is the #1 representative of us in the world. People determine so much about who we are, what we mean, and how we show up in the world from the things that come out of our mouth. And yet, most of the words that we speak have little to no power at all.
We have an impact that only we can make. But are we making it?

What would you change about yourself right now if you could? If you ask any women what one thing they would like to change about their body there is always an answer. In some cases a very long answer.

So think about this for a minute:

If you had a magic wand and could transform one part of yourself what would it be? If any part of that has to do with your health then you have come to the right place today!

We need to know when it comes to our outside appearance there is no such think as an instant change. The question to think about is that with no work, would you actually be changed?

Many people have made changes quickly just to go back to the same place they were. Not necessarily because they did not really change, but because they never really dealt with the cause in the first place.

When it comes to true transformation it starts by embracing where we really are. Only by being real with ourselves can we even start the process of lasting change. Once we acknowledge the true and get to the root reason then we can empower the change to happen in our lives.

Transformation starts in our mindset. Once we are transformed in our minds and have embraced a new way of thinking, then it can work its way throughout all of our being. We are transformed when we embrace with our whole being a new mindset.

This embracing of the new us can, and often does, happen in an instant, From these transformation experiences we create a reference point in our lives that we draw from to continue the journey until the transformation on the inside begins to show up on the outside.

So today to help all of us make that shift and create a transformation milestone in our lives host Steve Kidd is joined by his coach Anthony Elfonzia and the absolute poster child for all of us who are on the non-negotiable journey of health transformation – Miss Lisa Nichols

We all have a plan of some sort. At times we can become comfortable and plateau, or even take a dive. Distractions in life have a way of making us feel relieved, and some can make us feel defeated, but all distractions are equal.

To be intentional in reaching for new goals, it’s all about making rational decisions that motivate you in the right direction. Seeking growth both personally and in business is only the first step. You have to remain focused and rational in order to achieve. You cannot let distractions stop you from living your purpose.

Listen in as John Vespasian and Steve Kidd talk about how to live rationally and effectively reach your goals in spite of the distractions that will try to get in the way.

Our words, things we say to ourselves and others, can impact lives in a positive or negative way. Think back to when you were younger and a person criticized you. How did you feel? Are you still affected by their negative remarks? Now think back on a time that left you feeling uplifted or positively affected. Do you fondly recall their impact?

Comments, criticism and praise aren’t the only ways that our words can be powerful and long lasting in someone’s life. One way that our words can impact lives is through copywriting. Our guest today, Lukas Resheske, a professional copywriter, who has brought in millions of dollars in additional sales for the companies he has written for, breaks down the definition as well as the true value in how we use our words for impact, for action, and for business.

Do you strive to “WIN” at business? What about in life?

The key to “Winning”:at life and business is not about beating the competition but rather about creating an environment where not only you but everyone who works with you:

Staff
Team Members
Employees
Contractors
Clients
And yes even FAMILY
All the people you work with
Where all the people in your life and in your business find that are all being fulfilled and living to their highest potential in all that they do.

When we promote a culture of bring out the best in others in our lives and in our businesses, when our goal is for everyone on our team to THRIVE. Then everyone truly wins.

When we enjoy our lives and have a business that is a part of that life, that is when we are the real winners

Trust comes from open, honest communication. There has never been a CEO that has regreted open and honest communication. There is not a team that didnt find that when our hopes, dreams and yes even our fears and shortcomings, are shared that everyone is better and does better in the sharing.

Turns out that the truth and then making everyone part of the solution is the only real way to ensure that everyone profits

True success is not just about making money it is about being profitable. It is about showing a true and valuable profit in what we are investing ourselves in. The profit shows up in a rich life and dynamic business.

It is in our best interest and the best interest of the company to be about creating teams that are set up to succeed

A child doesnt toss and turn and worry about life or bills. They dont stress out over what may happen tomorrow or replay yesterday. A child's dreams are filled with magic and possibilities. They awake knowing today is going to be the best day ever. Even before they speak their first word there is a sense of awe and wonder in each little thing as it happens.

Today, we bring you a great show with two of our Bestselling Authors, Kevel A. Anderson Sr. and Tyrone Stevenson, and we will be talking about a topic that we overlook a lot — our fathers. Today, we’re going to talk about dads and celebrate them.

The one thing that we all have in common is that all of us were given the privilege to have a father. However, not all of us were given a chance to be with them. Some people don’t even get to know who their father is. But our guests today will undoubtedly inspire you that you can still have everything in spite of being fatherless. You can go from being fatherless to fearless and flourish in your life.

“One of the impacts of fatherlessness is feeling a sense of rejection and having some insecurities. Those insecurities, trust issues, and struggles for acceptance began to show up and manifest in my marriage. It affected how I was connecting with my wife…” — Kevel

“I have found that young men and young women have the same pain when their father is not there, but my goal is to try to heal young men so that we don’t repeat this again…” — Tyrone

We’re all on our own different journey. There is no cookie-cutter advice out there that’s going to show you the right path. You’ve got to try a few things. But, ultimately, if you can find those people — the champions, mentors or an accountability partner — that is one of the best things to do in business. My encouragement is not to go alone because the lonely path has a lot of wrong turns and it’s so much harder, so find those people around you that get you and that you can work together with. — Ronan

No man is an island.

This saying applies in all areas of our life. Things always turn out better when we work together with other people. But always remember to be smart on who you invest yourself and your time into.

Our first guest, Lynne Alston talks about her new book and how a hug literally saved her life. This is worth listening to because you might just be one of those people who can make a difference or even save someone’s life through small things that can mean so much like a hug or a simple smile.

You have to treat everyone as if they are your hugger. You have to treat people with kindness, love, and respect because you never know — they may very well be your hugger. — Lynne

Defining feminine fulfillment.

Turning 40 can be a bit terrifying to some women, but if you look at it from a different perspective, you can look at this time of your life as the perfect time to really look at your life; to do some soul-searching if you are indeed living the life that you wanted; the life that give you happiness and fulfillment.

Your life has just begun. Focus on being the best possible feminine version of yourself. be your true self. Let your light shine inside; that true person that you really are. Share that with people and do that for the rest of your life. — Paige

Today, we will be talking about the most precious miracle in this world…..YOU.

There are a lot of miraculous things that are happening within you that you sometimes take for granted like the fact that your heart beats every second of every day and that your body never forgets to breathe because it needs air.

You are the greatest miracle in the world and miracles are meant to be witnessed, just like you are meant to be seen. You are meant to be heard cause your powerful words can be someone else’s breakthrough.

Like a butterfly from its chrysalis, you will fly…fly as high as you wish, and neither the wasps nor dragonflies nor mantids of mankind shall obstruct your mission or your search for the true riches of life.
Feel my hand upon thy head.
Attend to my wisdom.
Let me share with you, again, the secret you heard at your birth and forgot.
You are my greatest miracle.
You are the greatest miracle in the world.

Today, we’re going to talk about how powerful words are. I’m going to share with you some powerful quotes from my favorite poems, books and some of our bestselling authors.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still, I’ll rise.

— Maya Angelou, Still I Rise

Don’t ever diminish the power of words. Words move hearts and hearts move limbs.
— Hamza Yusuf

You want to increase your return, UP your investment; Be You, BOO!
— Veronica Simon, Soul Engagement

We have to MASTER our mindset of positive outcomes and prepare the mood instead of repairing, after the fact.Never forget the mind is a battleground and can defeat ourselves with our thoughts.
— Sonia Noel, Living with Intention

If these words have never been put out there, then these people wouldn’t have impacted and made a difference in other people’s lives. Always remember that somebody out there is always waiting for your message. Your words are powerful, and they have the power to save lives.

Today, we are joined by our bestselling author Faith Marshall, and we will be talking about the importance of family. With everything constantly changing around us, there is one thing that has always stayed the same which is our family. Try to think about the happiest moments in your life, am I right that most of them involve your family? Our family is made up of people that bring out the best in us.

“What helped us most as a family, looking back, was communicating with each other; it kept the family informed. Each of us still dealt with the denial in our own way, so I can’t say that we were all in the same level of acceptance. But communicating with family in some kind of way was important for all of us to be on the same page and be able to make joint decisions when the time comes. Family support was key to our success.”

K. Moneak, author of Make It Happen

Join Trevor Hucey, and Myrtha Dubois talk about the endless possibilities that can happen in your life if you close your eyes, and let your spirit start to soar!

Soaring to New Heights: My Quest for an Education That Began at Age 56 by Trevor Hucey

Trevor shares how the decision he made to go back to school changed his life completely. “I made a deal with my wife. She asked me to take 1 class and decide afterward if I want to continue or not. I did exceptionally well in my first class because of the research that I did. I got a 4.0. I was on cloud 9. I didn’t believe it was possible and that gave me the confidence to continue. My wife saw something in me that I didn’t see that is why I dedicate this book to her.” Trevor said.

Undeniable You: 7 Steps To Soar by Myrtha Dubois

Myrtha’s talks about going through the process of recognition, discovery, and understanding while learning to embrace your path and your purpose. “The title of my book is Undeniable You: 7 Steps To Soar and the reason why it’s “undeniable” is through my journey and experiences growing spiritually, I became one with myself. I knew there was more to me than just what I see in front of the mirror and I needed to bring who the real Myrtha is to the world; a person who I know, a lot of people can relate to.“ Myrtha said.

What do your future clients think of you? We need to ask ourselves, “Am I seen as a contributing member of the group or, Am I an annoying outsider?” In any group, there are those that add value to the group, and then there are those who are only thinking of them self. You know the person that is always trying to sell something and never interacting. Another great question to ask ourselves is: ” Do people recognize me? Do they know my name? Do they see me as someone they want to know more? OR do they have no idea what I do?”

When we think of approaching our potential clients, often we get it wrong from the start. We need to truly be a contributing member of our “tribe.” Our tribe is the group of people just like us that could be our potential clients. However, we need to always remember that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

We all know the type of person we don’t want to be perceived as. That person who enters a room and immediately begins selling you something. The kind of person who corners you in a social situation to “pitch” you. You know you don’t want to be this person! You know you don’t want to be that person everyone avoids. LOL

So as we think about how we are in social situations, we need to also think about, “What is my approach and how am I perceived on social media? What we want is to be the person everyone seeks out. We want to be liked admired and trusted. Not avoided, disliked or maybe even feared.

How do we do that?

To start with, we need to approach our online presence with a spirit of giving. We need to be a contributing member of your tribe.

What you want is for all of the members of your tribe to be on your team. You want them to refer people to you when they have a need you can meet. How do we do that?

Social marketing and online marketing expert Don Crowther is going to share some insights with us on how to really be present and effective in your social media.

Learn how you can add benefit to your tribe and how you can create a presence that makes people want to be on your mailing list and interact with you.

Let Don and Steve show you how to make all of your tribe part of your team!

Technology. Do you have a negative opinion about it? Do you avoid it? Does it scare or confuse you? Why is it that the technologies that are designed to improve our lives, all too often just create new challenges and struggles for us.

Every business should have an online presence whether it is as simple as listings on 3rd party websites, or things like Facebook and Twitter, or a personal website. It is impossible to be a business today and not have an online presence.

On today’s episode, we are going to address the root causes of this confusion. We are going to offer you some practical, and easy to implement, solutions that you can begin using immediately to have your online presence serve you.

Steve Kidd is joined today with a good friend and an expert technology guru Tom Moline who is going to help us discover how to K.I.S.S (keep it simple). Meaning, how to remove some of the complications from the technologies we need to use for our business. Tom has generously donated his time today to help the Wounded Warrior Project.

We know you don’t need another technology to learn. You don’t want to have to become a master at something before it is effective. What you want and need is someone to show you how you can simply and effectively make use of social media, the internet and other technologies in such a way that it aids the growth of your business. You also need permission to hire a professional to come in and set up or manage some or all of your technologies, so that you can spend your time sharing your unique brilliance with the world.

This is our last episode for 2017, and I would like to take this time to tell you how grateful I am to all of you for listening to my show for the entire year.

2017 sent a lot of challenges in my life, but I am still here living and fighting. If this year gave you a lot of wonderful things, I am happy for you. But if this year gave you tons of obstacles, don’t lose hope. See them as blessings. Keep in mind that you don’t have to wait for next year to start over. Every time you wake up in the morning breathing, that is another day and opportunity for you to learn, be thankful, and take action.

I encourage you this year to make a resolution of the things that you will/must do and commit to doing them. Permit yourself to start over every day. Carry all the victories and let the struggles from yesterday stay in the past. Live wholeheartedly in the present. Rejoice why every day is called “today.”

Today, we are joined by Angela Johnson, and our topic is all about something that all of us love — FOOD.

In every accomplishment that we make, we must reward ourselves. We need to reward ourselves with good things that make us better and feel better. And I know all of us will agree that food is one of the things in this world that makes us feel good. But we need to remember that using food as a reward should be done in the right way, and as much as possible, we must try to break the cycle of using food as a reward.

In Angela’s book, “Diabolically Delicious” she shares her story about the toxic relationship she used to have with food. She shares her journey to realizing her vulnerability and the things she did to gain control over the one thing that she relied upon in times of strife — food. This book will encourage you to reflect, recognize, and gain control over the struggles you face and gives you enlightenment on how you can cure and rebuild your relationship with food.

Word of mouth is the best form of marketing.

This is something that you don’t have control over. To market, grow, and advertise your company, you need to have some things out there that are consistent that people can know and rely on.

Relying on the “word of mouth” form of marketing means you’re relying on these things, so you have to be careful:

– Less than 10% of people who are going to be talking about you.
– People who had a good experience with you that is outside of the norm which gave them an excellent experience.

Though you have the best of intentions, sometimes people may lead your brand to a place where you don’t want it to go. So you have to control the message you’re putting out there. You have to give people good things to say about you. You have to guide your brand in the direction where you want it to go.

Social Media Post: I control my brand messaging. #ThrivingEntrepreneur

Concept of Sales and Marketing

You don’t have to sell anything, you just need to have a good marketing and the product will sell itself.

Selling is all about sharing, having a mindset of service, and giving the people a way that you can serve them. This is the best way to define selling.

Example:
Online Messaging – Putting a link for example at the end of your blog to give credit to someone. You have to give people a choice to make and an action to take.

Marketing, on the other hand, is all about brand messaging and it is as important as selling. Nothing happens until something is sold.

Example:
In a restaurant, you often say you want a Coke even though you just mean you want a can of soda. And if the restaurant doesn’t sell Coke products, they will tell you that they don’t have Coke, but they have other products like Pepsi or Mountain Dew.

Now, that is a simple way of selling.

Managing people can be a difficult task. Doing it gracefully can seem nearly impossible some days. Surprising though, even worse than the difficulty of managing people is the trap of doing it all ourselves.

We need to remember the importance of letting go. As an entrepreneur, it is so easy to always see every task as being something we have to do. The truth though is much different. All distractions are equal, and in your business, the distraction of busyness can be the worst. We need to learn how to identify not only our strengths but also our weaknesses. Then as we have said many times, we need to STOP DOING WHAT YOU SUCK AT! Let your brilliance shine and allow others a place where their brilliance can shine as well.

We need to discover how to assign people where they will shine and then lead them with grace. It is our job as the owner of our company and the CEO of our business to create an environment of empowerment. By allowing our people to shine and creating a graceful place for accomplishment we receive a business that is not only successful but is more importantly THRIVING!

Michael spent years as a general contractor, so he knows how to manage people and projects. Michael also went on an incredible journey of self-discovery that has changed his life. Michael shares with what he learned about himself and how that can help you and your business to:

  • Be open to asking for help
  • Giving Grace as we Manage people
  • Assigning tasks to the right people and empowering their success

We have all said it so many times things like:

I don’t know why they didn’t buy?
Or how about, “I really thought they were going to buy”?
Think about the last time you said that?
Why didn’t they buy? Why didn’t we know? What could we do differently?

We all ask these questions whenever we think we should have had a sale. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone who wanted our product just had a sign saying, “I want to buy”!

Here is shocking news!! THEY DO! The problem is that we miss it?

Customers give us signals. Sadly they are very unlikely to say, “Hey! Let me buy your stuff!” But in many ways, the things they do and say are saying exactly that.

When a customer tells us they want to buy sometimes even unconsciously, these are called “Buying Signals.”

We know how to build the like, admire and trust with a person. We know we have a product they want and need. Maybe we even thought they were going to get it, and then…they didn’t.

Today we are going to learn how not to miss it anymore. How to recognize buying signals our customers are giving them and then just simply invite them to do business with us.

Host Steve Kidd is joined by Award-winning Sales executive and founder of Sales Maven Nikki Rausch. They will teach us today what we need to learn simple and powerful skills to increase your sales. Learn today how to get your customer to say yes without being pushy AND learn how to hear when a person is really telling you they want to buy. Learn how not to miss BUYING SIGNALS!

Your story matters!

In this second anthology book by Kathy Kidd, she shares another group of amazing people as they share their stories about what it means to them to live as a thriving entrepreneur.

“Passing It On” by Ancleah Gamble

For Ancleah, being a Thriving Entrepreneur made her feel important; that she has a voice. Providing service to other people and knowing that she was able to change people’s lives gives her a sense of fulfillment. Plus, knowing that her children are learning and embracing entrepreneurship gives her so much joy.

“Say Yes to Your Next Step” by Monica Reed

Monica resigned from her regular job in the corporate world because she realized that it wasn’t what she was meant to do. She became a relationship coach because, in her heart, what she wanted was to serve other people.

Let’s talk about SALES with Kathy Kidd.

“If you had 10% more belief, what would be possible for you?”

SALES is about offering solutions to your clients and letting them choose. It’s about discovering what your clients need and what’s going to solve those needs.

“The Feng Shui of Personal Transformation” by Connie Knudson

According to Connie, you need to find your own personal best direction. You need to create and write down your goals to know what you want to accomplish. Then you have to place them in your best success direction. You have to declutter those areas and have images that reflect your goals. By doing this, you’d be able to attract the energy and the inspiration to take the next steps.

“Prospering in Life” by Dionne Garvin

Thriving in life, for Dionne, is all about prospering, growing, and operating in your most authentic self. It’s about nourishing, not only the people you serve but also nourishing yourself. Being an excellent communicator, she is able to share the things she learned to help other people thrive as well.

“My Journey of Parallel-preneur Towards Entrepreneur” by Noreen N. Henry

Thriving in life, for Noreen, is having complete peace and focus. She didn’t have that before, and it seemed like her life didn’t have any clear direction. When she found peace and focus, she was able to discover what her passion is and see the direction that she wanted to go.

“The Headline of Your Life is Success!” by Rodney Lawson

Rodney explained the importance of creating your own organizational culture and not letting others dictate it to you. You are the one who should guide it in the direction that you want it to go. Rodney prefers to work only with (1) people who are very serious about what they do, (2) people who have the passion for serving/helping others, and (3) people who are respectful.

And Lastly, the host of radio show Thriving Entrepreneur Steve Kidd encourages you to “Just Show Up.” You just need to be the best version of yourself and show up fully in all that you do.

This anthology book is not only for entrepreneurs and parallel-preneurs but also for those who never thought they would want to be an entrepreneur. As Kathy Kidd says, “Begin to make progress today, because the opportunity is there, now!”

“Entrepreneurship is the most courageous choice someone can make. It requires grit and grace, heart and hustle, and testing and failing and succeeding. Most of all, it requires resilience and living intentionally every day. Easier said than done? Yes. Worth it? YES.” — Jennifer Kem

You need you be your cheerleader because the only person that you can control is you and the only life that you can create in this world is your own. The future is a blank check with unlimited possibilities. Be mentally open to accepting those possibilities because now is your time!

Nafissa will be sharing with us the importance of having a life that works for us and building a business that fits around that. “Life is about us. It’s not about the money. It’s not about the systems. Although those are really important things; you need them. But none of that’s going to work unless you get really free on the inside first. That internal freedom is what allows you to build that.” she said.

Tangible action steps to help you define yourself:

Allow yourself to have the thoughts that you would maybe shut down. Start to ask yourself, “What if?”
Allow yourself to let life show you. Allow yourself to get into situations or make a decision where you can say, “I love this!”
Allow yourself to experiment and try things.

If money wasn’t an issue, what would you spend your time doing?

We are joined today by Elliot Kay who’s going to talk about business strategies that you can do so you can have a more peaceful life and do more of what you love and get paid for it.

Build the lifestyle in line with your values, what you want to achieve and what will give you fulfillment
Do what you love and monetize it so you can have not only happiness but fulfillment too.
“Happiness is unsustainable in the long term. You’ll have happy days, and you’ll have sad days. But when you do what you love, and you’re building a business that you love in a sustainable fashion, you’ll have fulfillment. And for me, fulfillment is the ultimate; even more than happiness. I’d rather wake up fulfilled every day than happy every day. If I’m happy every day, at some point I’m going to crash. But If I’m fulfilled, it’s more manageable. So do what you love.” — Elliot

Quick tips on how you can identify your ideal client – the people you are meant to serve.

Are you still having some doubts about that? We want to help you break through that old thinking about yourself into the freed, released, empowered, amazing you that you are! Host Steve Kidd is joined on Thriving Entrepreneur by former eWN Radio Host Leslie Green from the show Love, Trust and Pixie Dust.

Together they are going to help you uncover the truth that often the people that are in lives are not helping us get to where we are going. In fact, sometimes the people we have allowed in our lives are keeping us back from our best self.

We find in life that we become most like the five people we spend the most time with. The old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together” is not only true but it affects the direction of your life. What we need to learn is how to identify the negative influences in our life. We need to understand, that emotionally we are tied to (or tied down by) these people.

Once we discover the influence other people in our lives are having on our life, we need the courage to make a bold change that will result in a better life for ourselves and more success in our business. We need to make this change to allow ourselves to make the greatest impact on our world.

The world needs you! Don’t let the others determine the direction of your life. Learn how to empower yourself, learn to release those people in your life who do not serve you. Give yourself permission embrace those who want to help you impact the world and be a Thriving Entrepreneur.

Today, we are joined by two International Best Selling authors who will be talking about our pursuit of consciousness as humans and the life after the military deployment.

There are many problems in the world and being human. One of the things that can be a solution is our ability to choose, and you have to make a powerful choice in your life today.

“Let’s learn to understand ourselves a lot more than we do currently. Let’s learn how to start liking ourselves and then maybe rather than thinking we’re separate from everyone else, maybe we can get back those days of community and togetherness because we are all in the same boat and we all think very similar things. This is a book about learning a bit about ourselves by asking ourselves questions, testing the things that we believe all our lives, and challenging them not just accepting the mantras of others all the time that we begin to establish what we feel is right deep inside and it feels good although it may go against the brain.” — Bob Norton

After you’ve been deployed and after you’ve been in a war zone, is there such a thing as life?

You need to do a lot of self-searching to discover the things you like and don’t like. I had to dig deep and go back to my childhood to think of things that I wasn’t able to get as a child that I can get now since I don’t have to depend on my parents to provide those things for me. You need to do a lot of exploring, meditating, and trusting in God. I had to stay focused on myself and the things that I like and what I don’t like. You have to get yourself out there to be able to have an open mind and be open to different experiences. — Keisha Dixon

1st “Enduring Love” by Dr. Venessa Marie Perry

No matter how successful we are in life, at the end of the day, we’re all seeking for the same thing – to love and be loved. We believe the social norms that society has laid out for us that there are no rules when it comes to love. It’s because no one’s there to tell you that you’re doing it wrong or right. People often say, “Just do what makes you happy.” You see, it’s one thing to find love, but it’s another thing to keep it alive. The key to a healthy relationship is friendship. If you have that, everything else will follow.

“Love is not just a feeling – it’s an action. It’s something that you need to work on every day.” -Venessa

2nd “Heal-thy LiFE Heal-thy Land” by Dr. Carolyn G. Anderson

Get rid of the limiting beliefs that are stopping you from moving forward. We can only create change in the world if we first start with our individual healing. Everything in life exists in these four areas: Health, Finances, Faith and Relationship

Regardless of how despondent or unfulfilled we think our lives are, we can take a pause and disconnect from everything. Take time to look at the journey and how beautiful it is along the way. Just live in the moment!
