et’s start with some honesty… When I announced that 2019 would 

be my year of uncomfortable growth, I needed to be a little 

less vague in my expectations or in my willingness to accept 

uneasiness. I was in no way declaring to the universe my desire 

to experience various forms of physical or emotional uneasiness 

all at one time. This was never my intent. Nonetheless, this is 

what happened and there was no backing out of it. So, step by 

step I walked and crawled through the first quarter of 2019 

in many levels of discomfort. And as I say goodbye to this 

calendar season, I say it while nursing a few new battle scars 

and mending familiar wounds that were reopened. 

The first quarter of 2019 showed me that the fight wasn’t going 

to be with any one person, but it would be a war within myself. 

Like some of you, my biggest critic and obstacle has always 

been me, and believe me when I tell you my inner critic is 

very loud. The internal battles—where we face our own selfimposed 

limitations, where we tell ourselves how our dreams 

are inconceivable, or drill ourselves daily with all of the reasons 

why we can’t grow or achieve—can be quite overwhelming. And 

when these battles have worn us down to a crawl, this is when 

we are thrown the “what difference will it make” or “nothing will 

change” sneak attacks. As I said, I clearly did not prepare myself 

for the level of discomfort required for a full year of growth. 

Fortunately, although God is listening, He doesn’t merely appease 

us. During those moments when I cried out for release, He simply 

held me closer and whispered (in the way I needed to hear it) that 

the discomfort I was experiencing now was preparation for the 

growth I would achieve later. I would have to let go of comfortable 

but unhealthy relationships and mindsets. I would have to nervously 

walk on the edge of common sense and wild ambition for me to see 

my dreams come to fruition. I would have to fight against my own 

inner voice until I understood the true heights of my own strength. 

In this month’s magazine we are taking more of a direct business and 

personal approach. Together, we are learning how to live and compete 

using our own strengths, take risks even when we are scared, and find 

the eagles within our circle. We will also receive incomparable advice 

from Latiesha Olive on walking in faith when it comes to our businesses. 

I am hoping that this new quarter, though it may be a little uncomfortable 

for some of us, will be one filled with exponential growth where we shed 

bad habits and move forward as individuals in our personal development 

and businesses.

RELATIONSHIPS 

Who is in 

Your Circle? 

ave you ever considered the fact 

that blindly asking and hoping 

for support from your circle may 

not help you grow as a person 

or aid your progress? Indiscriminately 

keeping individuals by your side 

achieves nothing if you don’t know 

what’s going on inside their minds. 

Trust me, even though their eyes and 

lips may smile with you, a person’s 

heart and mind can stay hidden for 

decades if they so desired. 

Your circle may stand by you and 

position themselves around you; but 

this does not mean that they are truly 

with you or care for you. In my opinion, 

there are really only four types of 

people within your circle. While some 

of them are necessary, there are others 

who you should possibly consider 

removing. But I will let you make the 

choice…

RELATIONSHIPS 

• The blind circle members: These are the people who 

follow you no matter what you do. They were 

with you before, they are with you now, and 

they will be with you for a long time to come. 

But don’t get excited, having people who 

are mindlessly with you is not healthy or Show me your 

safe. People who either don’t know or 

don’t care enough to warn you when 

they sense or see danger is as pointless 

as having warning sensors in your car friends and I'll 

and covering them up. You don’t need 

people who encourage you even when 

you are making bad decisions. Or worst 

yet, individuals who encourage you to show you your 

• 

stay in your mess. So, are the members 

of your circle blinded by loyalty? 

Support members who come at a cost: Oh, 

they are going to stand with you but do 

future. 

understand that it is going to cost you a lot. You 

may not feel the cost immediately, but there is a 

hidden cost to their alignment to you. Some may want 

to tap into your gifts/income/access as they have already 

discerned how you can help them. They see your kindness as a weakness and one that they 

can later manipulate into having you bend to their needs. If having access to you in the near 

future requires them depositing their friendship, then they will do it [for now]. So, how 

expensive is your circle? 

• The supportive ‘no’ circle members: “No I don’t think you can.” “No, I don’t think you should.” 

“No, I have never seen what you are suggesting.” “Everyone who tried failed.” These are the 

ones who say they want the best for you but are quick to shoot down whatever you come up 

with. Not only do they baulk at your unique ideas or plans, they also try to block any- and 

everything that didn’t originate from them. If you were to tell them “I want to try breathing”, 

they would quickly find fault to the breathing process and make you feel like a fool for even 

suggesting it. So, is your circle surrounding you with the word “no”? 

• The flying club: Now these are the Aces in your pack but, regrettably, they tend not to come 

in large numbers. These supporters are not only with you, they are for themselves and they 

are for you. The reason they love supporting your growth is because they are busy growing 

too. They encourage you to take flight, but they are quick to warn you of any possible 

obstructions in front of you. Though they will partner with you, their loyalty isn’t solely tied 

to what they can get from you. They team up with you because they know it is better to fly 

together. And as we are all reflections of our closest relationships, members of the flying 

club want to see and reflect greatness. So, is your circle flying? 


LIFE’S TOOLS 

PowerVocab Word Game 

s a person who employs words to express 

myself, not only in my day-to-day life but 

also in the content I produce every month, 

my vocabulary is very important. However, 

I realized that, over the years, my lexicon 

was becoming a tad stale and redundant. Real 

help was needed. With the heavy saturation 

of social media and increasingly busier 

schedules, many of us have seen a decline in 

our word choices. But I didn’t have the time to 

learn the entire dictionary, and to be honest I 

didn’t want to [who does?]. 

And that is where the PowerVocab Word 

Game app came in. I needed something that 

met certain criteria: 

1. Convenient 

2. Challenging 

3. Not as boring as studying the dictionary 

4. Included some level of competition 

5. FREE (of course!) 

PowerVocab Word Game met all of my 

requirements and I am able to use it at my 

leisure. This meant that during the last few 

minutes on the dryer or even while waiting on 

Uber, I was able to learn more words. 

I am not going to act as if I tried the app 

and mastered it on the first attempt. Oh no… 

that did not happen due to the fact that I 

neglected to read the instructions ahead of 

time [do not make this mistake with any app]. 

Once the app is downloaded and you press 

start, you are thrown into a timed challenge 

where you are given four to five definitions 

to match to a word. Unfortunately, I did not 

realize that it was a timed challenge, which 

resulted in me stumbling to catch up so I can 

score a few points. But the shock of the timer 

only excited me more to try again...and I did. 

The app’s provides various colorful formats to 

help you learn. There are options for multiple 

choice or fill in the blank questions. The 

type and level of word challenge could also 

be selected: Ultra Words, Common Words, 

Advanced Words, School Grades 3-5, School 

Grades 6-8 and Test Prep [these last three can 

be broken down even further]. I went straight 

to the highest level [again, read the directions]. 

Oh yes parents, you can download this app on 

your children’s phones and make it a family 

event…whether they want it or not. If they are 

like my kids, they are also competitive and can 

be tricked into learning by making it a contest 

to beat you or their siblings. And if this is what 

it takes to increase their vocabulary then do it. 

The challenges, though they change in format 

and layout, are timed to keep you on your 

toes. At the point of writing this magazine my 

high score was a measly 150....terrible I know 

but at least I am honest! With some friendly 

competition, I am sure that this score will 

increase, and my vocabulary will be all the 

better for it. 

Try out the PowerVocab Word Game for 

yourself and expand your vocabulary in a fun 

and convenient way.

Even 

When 

Your 

Legs 

Shake 

very once in a while, along 

comes that moment when 

we have to face something 

that scares the...adult out of 

you. No, I don’t mean trying 

out the weird looking meal at 

a shady restaurant or waiting 

for your doctor to give you 

the results from a blood test. I 

am referring to the occasions 

when you have to take those 

big steps in life that leave you 

standing frozen in fear—then 

again, even the little ones can 

be scary. Those instances that 

have you questioning: What 

if I fail? What if I come last? 

What if I forget the words? 

What if they laugh? What 

if no one comes? It would 

really be inconsiderate of me 

to tell you that having these 

thoughts are foolish or weak. 

And if someone has ever 

tried to make you feel small, 

claiming to have never been 

scared themselves, tell them 

that they never climbed high 

enough. Not being scared is 

not an indication of strength 


PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 

or courage. It doesn’t even dictate right or wrong. Anyone facing 

something unknown is allowed to feel apprehensive. Fear will not make 

you less than anyone else. It simply makes you human. 

Let’s be clear…being afraid is a normal part of the process and knowing 

that fact is half of the battle when it comes to fear. However, that 

tidbit of knowledge may not be enough to give comfort…and that is 

understandable. Yes, you’ve been working on your project, done all the 

research, lifted numerous prayers and completed your prep, but you 

are still haunted by the ‘What Ifs’. And then comes that feeling...you 

know the one…where your stomach is bubbling, your legs are shaking, 

and you are now seconds away from “shatting” your pants. [Yes, I said 

shatting. The word, in my opinion, really captures the interplay between 

the emotional and physical trauma that we tend to experience during 

these moments.] 

So, what should we do when on the brink of shatting? When you’ve 

done all you can, there is only one thing left and that is to do the thing 

that scares you the most. Yes dear, you are going to have to move 

forward. “But my legs are still shaking.” Yes, I know and understand. 

Don’t worry, my legs shake too. I am not suggesting that this feeling 

is going to automatically disappear. The unfortunate truth is that for 

some of us, as long as we keep climbing it may never truly leave us. But 

being scared doesn’t have to keep us from moving forward. If we need 

to roll or even crawl, we can, and we will move forward. What we won’t 

and can’t do is stand shaking unwilling to even try. 

Three Things To Remember The Next Time 

You Are Scared And Shatting 

1. Being afraid does not make you weak. Not everyone can look at a giant and run towards 

it with a sling shot and a few stones. Some of us require a few more minutes to gather 

ourselves. And even though we may miss with the first few attempts, we can make the mark 

when it is time [even when we are scared]. 

2. Being afraid does not make your decision wrong. Just because it scares you doesn’t mean 

that it is the wrong thing to do. Sometimes the right thing challenges you and takes you out 

of your comfort zone. On the other hand, the wrong choice may look and feel too familiar 

while leaving you with little or no growth. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable. 

3. Being afraid does not mean that you won’t be effective. Fear is not a determinate factor on 

your value or the value of what you are doing. If you know that you are giving your best, 

then know that this is what matters. You can still leave a great impression even when you 

feel scared.

INTERVIEW 

The Faith 

Walk of 

Business 

By Latiesha Olive

BUSINESS ADVICE 

hen you hear the word FAITH what 

does it exactly mean to you? The 

Bible talks about Faith in Hebrews 11:1. 

It reads: “Now faith is the substance of 

things hoped for, the evidence of things 

not seen.” 

But what does FAITH mean to you? It 

could be the belief of healing or a change 

in your current employment. It could be 

the belief of a move in a positive direction 

for your life or current circumstance. Or 

it could simply mean: “I have FAITH in 

God and there is nothing is too hard for 

Him.” We say this but do we believe it? 

Honestly, it’s easy to believe God in the 

middle of a harvest or when everything 

is great. But it’s during the most trying 

times in your life that YOUR FAITH will 

be on trial. 

You may ask, “Tiesha, what in the world 

does this have to do with my business?” 

My answer: “E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!!!” 

I know that may seem a bit dramatic 

but there is no better way to convey 

that statement of Everything. Life is a 

journey and your business is a ride—ride 

of High and Lows. In order for you to be 

successful, you have to learn to ride the 

waves of success. Whether high or low; 

ride unmoved, unbothered, and ready to 

excel. 

In my free guide on the 5 Steps of How 

to Start Your Business the Right Way, I 

go over the steps for effective business 

planning. You can download it by visiting 

http://bit.ly/P2PFREEGUIDE. 

I want to briefly go over Step 1: Pray for 

Direction. 

If you are like me, you are absolutely 

excited about starting your business! 

The planning process is well on its way 

and you are getting everything in order. 

You’ve talked to friends and family about 

it, secured deposits and written checks. 

But one question…Have you prayed for 

direction? Praying for direction will help 

you to avoid a lot of heartache. 

Disclaimer: Somethings you must 

go through (keywords “go through”). 

They are learning lessons designed to 

prepare you for greater. [Listen to the 

song Greater is Coming, by Jekalyn Carr, 

for encouragement and motivation, 

“God wants the absolute best 

for your life. It will take a great 

deal of FAITH to believe from the 

promise to the manifestation of 

the promise.” 


11

BUSINESS ADVICE 

especially while you plan and pray.] 

By praying for direction for your business, 

you are giving God an open invitation to 

direct, guide, and move throughout your 

business. He will show you what strategic 

moves to make and those to avoid. He 

will lead you to divine connections and 

opportunities that only He could create. 

“I know thy works: behold, I have set 

before thee an open door, and no man 

can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, 

and hast kept my word, and hast not 

denied my name.” - Revelation 3:8 

By leaning on the direction of God, 

you are also allowing for the plan and 

purpose of your business to come into 

full manifestation. He created you to 

prosper. He created you to have wealth. 

He created you to be the Head and not 

the Tail; Above and not Beneath; A Lender 

and not a Borrower (Deuteronomy 28:13 

and Deuteronomy 8:18). 

God wants the absolute best for your life. 

It will take a great deal of FAITH to believe 

from the promise to the manifestation of 

the promise. The hardest period will be 

the wait. This is where FAITH will make 

“In order for you to be successful, 

you have to learn to ride the waves 

of success. Whether high or low; 

ride unmoved, unbothered, and 

ready to excel.” 

the biggest impact in your life. Believe 

God for every manifestation of every 

promise that His word has spoken over 

your life. He can’t lie. 

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor 

a son of man, that He should repent. Has 

He said, and will He not do? Or has He 

spoken, and will He not make it good?” - 

Numbers 23:19 

Have FAITH. 

Small Prayer 

Father, I’m believing you for every 

individual that will read this article. That 

you will, God, fulfill and manifest every 

promise that you have spoken over their 

lives. That you will prosper each person 

and all those connected to them, and all 

that they be and do…all that you have 

predestined for them. I ask this in your 

Son Jesus’ name. Amen.

MONTHLY CHALLENGE 

ne big condition in living 

through an uncomfortable 

year is the requirement for us 

to say “Yes.” This comes into play 

particularly with the things and 

opportunities that are designed to 

stretch us beyond what resembles 

our safe areas and take us outside 

of our comfort zone. But to say Yes, 

we are going to first have to say “No.” 

Over the span of the next 15 days 

I want us to say No to a group of 

things/experiences that tend to keep 

us from growing as individuals and 

then leave us as empty versions of 

ourselves. This month’s challenge is 

constructed to take us a step forward 

by challenging us to say No so we can 

get to say Yes. Sounds simple enough 

doesn’t it? Well, here goes… 

The requirements for the next 15 days are: 

1. Whenever we try to tell ourselves that we aren’t 

enough, or we will never have what it takes, I 

want us to say “NO!” and “Shut Up!” 

2. Whenever other people tell us that we will never 

make a difference and we should give up, I want 

us to say “NO!” and “Watch Me!” 

3. Whenever we don’t make our bodies and minds 

a priority, I want us to say “NO!” and “My Life is 

Important!” 

4. Whenever we feel ourselves reacting to the 

words or actions of others, I want us to say “NO!” 

and “I Will No Longer React, I Will Learn, Adjust 

and Grow!” 

At the end of the 15 days, it is my hope that we will 

find it easier to say No. Yes, it is not going to happen 

overnight, and it may be a little scary at first to 

implement. But if we really want to make this year a 

turning point in our lives, then we are going to have 

to get comfortable saying No to ensure that we have 

our well-deserved Yes.

COACHING 

Run 

Your 

can’t run your race, you can’t run mine, and you definitely 

shouldn’t feel the need to run the race of some random 

person you follow on social media either. We are all destined 

to live the lives we were given, and trying to live an imitation 

of someone else’s life makes little or no sense. Wait…I have a 

feeling that you are already whining and mumbling how you 

know all of this already. I hear you…but answer this question… 

why, if you know so much, are you still judging yourself based 

on another person’s “public” experience? 

Just in case you are still mumbling, let me try to make it a 

little clearer for you. Comparing your dreams and efforts to 

Own 

Race

COACHING 

that of someone else’s is a direct act of selfsabotage. 

Stop it! It isn’t fair to you and can 

be quite debilitating to your goals before you 

even get a chance to get going. Don’t just know 

better, I need you to do better! 

Take a minute and ask yourself…”so what?” So 

what if your friends got married before you 

and your last relationship ended unfavorably? 

So what if they got a promotion and you hate 

your job? So what if they keep having kids, 

opportunities, abs [yes, I said abs…lol], grades 

and followers? None of it matters! It really 

“Comparing your dreams and efforts 

to that of someone else’s is a direct 

act of self-sabotage. Stop it!” 

doesn’t matter. Nothing is wrong in drawing 

inspiration from other people’s journeys, but 

you can’t judge yourself when things don’t 

work out to reflect or mirror theirs. Each 

relationship, each business is different, and 

you need to allow yourself the opportunity 

to run your own race. Try to learn what you 

are good at and what makes you feel fulfilled. 

You may not actually need what they have to 

feel fulfilled. You may be surprised to learn 

that you can find your own satisfaction in just 

being you. 

There are too many occasions where I have 

seen people [and if I am honest, I am guilty 

too] standing frozen and unsure. Too many 

times we are stifled and paralyzed by the fear 

that we were not enough and wouldn’t 

be as ___________ [fill in the blank] 

as another person we have chosen to 

compete with. Why are you competing 

with someone else in the first place 

and not competing with you? Aim to be 

better than you were yesterday. Strive 

to always learn and develop as a person 

for yourself. Again, this does not mean 

that you should be driving yourself crazy 

to always be better. Remember, growth should 

be a steady process and not at a manic speed. 

Please make your decisions for you and not 

based on someone else. Spending, living and 

changing just to mirror someone else isn’t 

healthy or productive. If you are not doing it for 

you, then why are you doing it? If your Whys 

(what motivates you) are not based on healthy 

and positive reasons, things will likely get 

messy. Even if you are able to achieve success, 

each momentous moment will be marred by 

constant comparison. And then, if you were 

to fall short of their level of “success,” you 

may go and fill your mind up with ridiculous 

and damaging thoughts of not being enough. 

Don’t do this to yourself! Don’t chain yourself 

down to what other people do or think! Run 

your own race!!

ven superheroes team up every now and again, yet for some reason 

you are stubbornly going at it all by yourself. Do you think that 

you are a Super Bionic hero? Were you brought up with the belief 

that asking for help is a form of weakness or have you unintentionally 

surrounded yourself with incapable and undependable buffoons? We 

are all friends and can be honest with each other. So…which one is 

it? …Or is it a combination of all of the above? It is time to let go of 

that destructive and debilitating way of thinking. And outside of just 

handing things off to unreliable and incapable people, I want you to 

start asking for assistance or even hiring help. 

Here are a few reasons why it is okay to ask for help: 

• You are good—may be even be great—at what you do. But as you 

are only gifted with 24 hours every day, wouldn’t it be best to 

focus on the things that you are great at and delegate the tasks 

that you are just good or okay at to someone else? Why spend 

your limited time on the things that they can do, when you can 

spend it producing more value? For example, would you want your 

business coach spending ¾ of their day slaving over administrative 

work or would you prefer that they allocate that time to you and 

their other clients? [You know you would rightfully want value for 

your money.] 

• Going 24/7 for 365 days may sound super productive, but if you 

are not getting the important things done, then it is inefficient. 

Running around like a headless chicken all day just makes you look 

busy. It does not make you productive. There is no honor in being 

super busy when there is no purpose. At the end of the day, your 

business will suffer and so will you. 

• Now that the issue of suffering has been raised, we must discuss 

the you/me/us factor. Self-care and self-preservation are very 

important and as such you have to allocate and schedule time for 

personal maintenance and self-fulfillment. This may mean being 

able to sleep for 6 to 8 hours, eating on time, exercising or spend 

positive time with family and friends. I am not saying you shouldn’t 

do anything and become careless. However, you have to maintain 

your time and efforts in a manner that better balances and serves 

your priorities and personal life.

Before you run out asking everyone for help or make that next hiring decision about that 

applicant who applied to your job postings, there are five questions I need you to ask yourself. 

*Remember it is always better to be proactive than to be left reacting to situations that could 

have been avoided. 

1. Why do you think that you need help in the first place? Do you have a genuine need for assistance, 

or more of a desire to be someone’s boss? Too many times business owners believe that having 

employees (fulltime or part-time) is required before they can be successful—this is not true. 

2. What do you have to offer in return? 

a. Do you have the resources to pay salaries & benefits? 

b. Do you have the physical space [if necessary] to host employees/interns/volunteers? 

c. Do you have the time and mindset to offer leadership?

3. Describe your leadership style. Do you feel the need to micromanage everything and everyone? 

How much free rein are you comfortable giving? Do you coach/mentor your staff and engage 

them in team building and development activities? 

4. What methods do you utilize to manage/handle conflict? Whenever individuals work together, 

there is always a possibility for conflicts, misunderstandings or disagreements to occur. It is best 

to understand who you are as a person, how you engage/disengage when conflict arises, and 

work on strategies for managing conflict. 

5. How do you communicate with others? Do you feel the need to curse when speaking? Do you 

need to speak loudly to get your point across? Do you prefer emailing and texting in place of long 

meetings and frequent brainstorming sessions?
