We spend an awful lot of time in our head trying to figure things (or people) to the point that we become disembodied. This happens more than we even realize.

Spending too much time in our head disconnects us from our body’s wisdom, our awareness, and a sense of clarity. When this happens, we feel less clear about our sense of purpose, direction and meaning.Then, the snowball effect sets in.

We begin over-analyzing which creates more stress.

We begin worrying about the future so much, that we steal ourselves from the present moment.

We repeatedly run scenarios from the past over and over in our mind, trying to make sense of things or wishing we had responded in a different way.

We become distracted by what others should or shouldn’t be doing.

We fall prey to comparison and continu…

Hello All,

It’s Terrific Wednesday! I’m Davedda Smith.

I am returning to the 90 day video Challenge. I ended on Day 12, I’ve decided to take on the challenge as stated in this meme I read this morning to “Let Your Light shine so brightly that it instantly awakens the light in everyone that enters your presence.” the Bible even says to let our light shine so that men will see our good works. It specifically tells us not to hide our light under a bushel.

For years I’ve heard that scripture as a believer and agreed with it; but when it came to me actually shining, I shy’d away from it. In high school I was a homecoming queen and it put me out in front of people; even then I was uncomfortable.

I was a popular athlete in high school running track and playing volleyball; yet I hid because I didn’t wan…

No, I am not a juggler. But before I got my CRM that is what I was doing, or should I say, attempting to do. Juggle client’s emails, offers, landing pages, products, and the list was never ending. When I decided to get a CRM platform, I got my life back.

Becoming an entrepreneur is a dream of many, but wanting and becoming are two different things. Pursuing this dream requires effort, in all possible aspects. We have countless examples of successful entrepreneurs who started from scratch and are now successful billionaires.

Before you Google a business plan template and start plugging in the information or building a website, you need to understand your vision. What is your why? Why do you want to start a business? Do you understand the difference between a hobby and a business? Do you know that starting a business is a commitment and requires extra time, attention, and resources? What are you hoping to achieve by starting a business?

Here’s where people get it wrong:

They start posting on social media about their website.They skip the business plan.Go out and bu…

As you begin to read this its a new week but the days all feel the same...

I get it, you’re at your wits end , right?   I know your pain because I’ve been in your shoes.  All female entrepreneur’s situations different but the results are usually the same: You’re working 10-14 hour days and too many weekends, just to keep a few clients happy…  You know you're not getting paid what you’re worth and you’re probably at the point where you’ve started to resent your business.   You’re doing everything by yourself, checking off every task off your list and feel completely strapped for time…   You’re beaten tired running yourself ragged with a to-do list that never stops and you know you’re heading towards a breakdown…    You're the chef, ma…

There is zero shame in my game when it comes to learning — learning new things or new ways to adapt to my business environment. Knowledge is leverage. I'll even go outside the human species to learn about behaviors and how they link to their outcomes.FACT! The science is clear. Chameleons lack the color pallet to camouflage to their environment. They adapt to changes in their emotions and environment. The color change communicates their mood for all to see.Chameleons are all about awareness — self and situational. How could those two traits not improve the quality of the connection you have with clients, team members, or anyone else? Here is where the lessons begin.Lesson One: The chameleon has hatersMany in business see the chameleon as fake, and that self and situational awareness are not a skill but a liab…
