Excerpt from Faith and Business by Adrienne A. Wallace

I hope you know the secrets of your own heart and can find them in your business life as much as you do in your private spaces.

Trust your instincts.
Sell only what you would buy.
Don't work for anyone who does not think that you deserve to eat what they ask you to hunt.
Promote what is real.
Maintain your integrity.
Be at peace with your God and learn from every experience of embrace or attack.
Do the work and perfect your skills. Do it now.
Innovate, change, get online and connect.
Collaborate.
Listen and learn.
Write it down.
Be humble, but not shy.
Be honorable to your customers ..
Do not deny your friends or family your time or love.
Turn off the smartphone and computers and turn on the laughter.
Connect with your heart.
Care about your team. You want the same thing.
Ask about your clients hobbies and family and mean it.
Choose what to cheer and recruit for each day.
Understand what requires private counsel.
Know who has your back.
Have faith in your risks and work for the rewards.
Ask for strength to accept what you cannot change.
Change what you can.
Remember the Golden Rule.
Practice the Golden Rule.
Embrace Diversity....GOD does.
There will be opportunities as you go along the course.
I promise and so does a much Higher Power.
At the end of each day..return home with gratitude.
When you die..let it be said that you used all you were given.
Know that the paycheck will not be noted in your eulogy.
What you give will be noted and remembered.
Expect to win.
Be happy.
(from..."Faith and Business" - Adrienne A. Wallace)

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar"  and continues with  even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following:  " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency,  Barack Obama", and of course President Obama.  Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to  further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for ...

Ask and it is answered: Companies and Social Networks - April 2009

Should a company build it's own social network or should it just join the ones out there that already exist? I think many companies will want to build their own social networks in order to moderate, control, dictate , and ultimately impact the branding message in favor of the organization. When you decide to host a dinner party, your guests are typically going to eat some of what you have decided to serve. It's like that when a company builds their own social network. PR and Marketing end up being in full play. Should they doe this? Absolutely. NING, Linkedin, and even A SMALL WORLD allow for this type of action. However, as much as a company may try ..it is truly difficult to exist in a bubble and the newer platforms ,i.e. Twitter seem to make it less likely as people choose to lend their ears or not. Who doesn't want the data and qualitative feedback of the consumers that manifest the cult at their disposal?. Companies dependent on wide scale and diverse consumer demog...
