Are you being Too EMOTIONAL in Business?



I HATE to Burst Someone’s Bubble but you CAN NOT get sooooo “Emotionally Attached” in the area of entrepreneurship that it starts to affect your button line.

When we start a business, we start a business to do what... Make Money!

When seasons are shifting and changing, we have to learn how to go with the flow, adjust and change accordingly.

In 2008 I’d partnered with a company but one year later I sensed that it was time to go, it was as if doors were closing and nothing I did produced any longer. Shifting had indeed occurred and God had started opening “New Doors”.

Although I didn’t understand why he was instructing me to make a clean break I did just that. I sent a letter of resignation in, released that business and let it go!

People were upset; many deleted me as friend on the social media platforms and darts were thrown. Nonetheless, I kept it MOVING! Here it is, a few months later (because I kept it moving) I was able to hit the Top position of another company I’d realigned with! I went on to produce a business that generated Millions for the company and made A LOT of Money in the process!

PLEASE NOTE: Had I stayed connected to the other company while God was telling me to leave, I would have missed out on MUCH!!!!

Then, a little over a year after that took place while Nicole Cooper and I were visiting London… She said “Lenika, you are TOO EMOTIONAL”. I remembered us standing in the elevator going back and forth because I was very upset about some situations that were occurring in our organization.

~Nicole & I in London~


She proceeded to say, you can’t allow your emotions to get the best of you in business! And though those words were VERY sharp and felt as if a knife were cutting me in my gut, I will never forget the power behind those words.

A year after that which was now 2011, I stood in that same position (Yet again). Should I stay OR should I leave? What about the people? This time (to me) it was worse because of the level of position I had obtained. The doors were closing and as I sought the Lord I knew he was releasing me. Not only that, when looking at things from a business perspective the business just not producing any longer. Making the same decision that I made in 2009, I resigned. This time, the weight of the pain was greater but I had to press pass the pain, the ridicule, and the attacks from others because at the end of the day, it was a business decision!

Here it is, 19 months after that decision and I don’t regret it one bit. I’ve moved forward and haven’t looked back. Since moving forward I’ve seen earnings made in (ONE BUSINESS DAY) that were more than what I was currently experiencing in (A MONTHLY PAYCHECK) with the company I resigned from.

I’ve studied the lives of Millionaires and below are a few things they have in common.

They make business decisions based upon the button line! They make decisions quick!
They don’t ponder over something months after months regarding a change that needs to be made.
If they make a decision that was not a good decision they quickly change directions, get back in alignment and go forth!
They don’t get so caught up in what others are going to say about them.

I’ve also learned this, people are going to talk about you IF you are producing and they are going to talk if you are not producing.

BUT No one is going to pay your own bills!!! I don’t know who this message was for on today but I pray it bless and FREE someone!!!

Below you will find a write up that I snatched from Forbes Website. Full article link below.

http://tinyurl.com/bw4d8vs

You’ve spent hours upon hours perfecting the name, the product or service offering, and the website.
But there comes a time when your emotions can get in the way of making hard decisions. It might be when you need to fire a friend or family member because they’re underperforming. Or maybe it’s when you realize it’s time to nix a product or service that simply isn’t making money.
Whatever the case, it can be difficult to take emotion out of the situation and do what’s best for your business. Ease the stress of strong emotions in the following ways:

Look at metrics and analytics. Hard numbers can put a situation in perspective. Keep track of everything in a spreadsheet so you can clearly look at how each aspect of the business is performing. This can help you determine where you’re excelling and where you need to improve.

Step back and look at it from a strictly business perspective. Act like you’re not financially or emotionally involved, or ask a trusted mentor to help you look at it from that perspective. If you force yourself to step outside of the situation, it can be easier to see what is best for the business, minus the emotions that often come into play.

Closely research every decision. Emotional decisions are often quick ones. Research can help you stop and think about what you’re doing and look for evidence that you’re making the best choice possible. Look to the Internet, your trusted network and other business resources to discover the best solution.

Analyze previous decisions. Look at all of your business decisions –where have you succeeded and failed? What factors played a role in success or failure? If emotions were present, how did they affect the outcome of the situation?

Take a break. Emotions run high when you’re feeling pressured — say, when an employee makes a mistake or a client fails to pay one month. To ensure emotions don’t get in your way, take a break from the situation. If you’re with an employee or a client, excuse yourself from the situation for five to 10 minutes. If the decision doesn’t need to be made right away, give yourself some time to think about it. You’ll come back to the situation with a fresh perspective and feel less pressure overall.
How else can young women entrepreneurs take emotions out of business decisions?

Hey How Much Is Your Car Note??


Hey, Happy Monday to ya!

Wanted to chat with you really quick to find out one simple question...

How much is your car note??

I'm not sure if you're driving your dream car, a family sedan, or something on it's last leg.. but I wanted to help you out really quick...

See, I know a few years back in 2008, right after filing bankruptcy, my credit was bad... I MEAN VERY VERY BAD.. and after our cars had gotten repossessed, I was without a car. 


Fast Forward a few months later, I couldn't be without a car much longer, so my husband and I gave in and went to Carmax....

After a few hours of test drives and roaming the parking lot with "I wish I could get this" syndrome, we finally got a car...

It wasn't our dream car, but it could get us around...

BUT... despite the fact that it was a basic vehicle... here's what wasn't so basic...

OUR INTEREST RATE.... 

We got hit with a whopping 26% Interest Rate... and that caused our payments to shoot through the roof..

OMG... this was pure bred shark lending, but when you're desperate  guess what, you do whatever you must to get what you need...

So we took the car with a 6 year loan.... where we were paying for about 4 peoples salaries just with the interest alone..

However, something happened.... 

A few months later, I decided to join a workfrom home opportunity to "give it a try", little did I know, I'd hit 5 figures in 3 months, turning my financial situation completely around..

And oh yeah, remember that 26% Interest rate on the 6 year loan....

 

I paid it off in 3 years instead of 6... thanks to that "little bizopp thing"!...

Image
So here's why you need to listen up...

Today, my girl Nat, did the same thing...

Image 

Thanks to this little biz opp thingy that she partnered with me up in, she just sent a whopping $6,088.46 to pay off her car, and it happened all because of this business....



Nope, she's not doing it full time...

Yep, she's a mom and a wife with tons of domestic duties...

Yep, she has a completely different business that she owns and clients that she services...

Yep, she may work this thing between 6-8 hours per week...

Yep, she's having boat loads of fun...

& Most importantly... THIS GIRL IS GETTING PAID...

All because she said YES!!

**See the absolutely Gorgeous photo of Natalie below**
Image

So Here's the deal...

A lot of times, people want to hear the "I'm going to become a millionaire overnight" story, before they take action..

But I can't promise you that cause I simply don't know if you're willing to work for millionaire status of not...

But what I can do is bring you back to reality and ask you....

*What if you could make enough to pay your car note...
*What if you could earn enough to cover your rent or your mortgage...
*What if you could earn enough to change your zip code to get your kids in better schools....
*What if you didn't have to check your bank account before purchasing groceries....
*What if you could finally become that Entrepreneur, that you've always desired to be because you said YES??

  It All Starts Here...

The Proverbs 31 Woman AKA The Virtuous Woman




10 Proverbs 31 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.



 
This morning the Lord led me to read Proverbs 31 on the prayer call. It was such a great reminder of all the wonderful ways this precious woman arose to the occasion.

So I thought it would be great for us to have an open discussion and other women shared what they took away from the scripture and what stood out to them.

Of course I share how she was a Powerful “Business Woman”~

Another shared that she was such a Great “Servant”~

While another shared that she was a woman who had an Amazing “Prayer Life”~

Another spoke on the fact that handled her business in all areas and she was not “Lazy”~

Another talked about her having such a “Pure Heart”~

She was Powerful Wife, Mom, and wore many hats~

I can go on and on about this Incredible Woman but I challenge all women to read this thread and meditate on these scriptures and I also challenge you to “ARISE”!!!

There are always areas in our lives where we can improve, don’t focus on what you should be doing or focus on what you could have done better yet focus on how great you are going to become and may God give you the strength to carry out all of the assignments he has instructed you to carry out.

We can excel in all areas as we yield our lives to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because it is him that equips us and gives us the strength. Below you will find such a beautiful breakdown on this powerful woman.
~Click On Picture to READ  Proverbs 31~
 

 

Attributes of the “Proverbs 31 Woman”

Trustworthy (v.11) her husband has given her his complete and total trust and confidence. He isn’t worried about her cheating, lying or stealing from him, this girl is has her man’s full confidence.

Pleasant Attitude (v.12) so she is of good character and spirit, she submits to her husband and she is wishes to treat her husband and family well, everything that comes from her to them is filled with love and goodness.

Hardworking (v.13, v.17, v. 18, v. 19) the scripture alludes several times to her industrious, diligent nature and her willingness to work hard.

Concerned about the well-being of her family (v. 15) she takes the time to prepare the things they need as well as making sure that provisions are supplied for those that work for her. Her kids aren’t running out of the house on the way to school with empty bellies or looking unkempt. Homegirl is up early in the morning, making sure everyone has what they need.

Wealth builder/Investor (v. 16) she might have a man with a six-figure salary, but she is not solely reliant upon him, she considers her own investments and wealth building.

Entrepreneurial (v.18) she makes and sells products, she is a business woman!

Generous (v.20) she gives to those in need, she is concerned about the condition of the poor.

Prepared (v.21) she knows that her children will need sandals in the summer and coats in the winter, she anticipates their necessities and she is not caught off guard when the time comes.

Regal (v. 22) although, the woman in this scripture was actually of a high social class, being ‘regal’ is not just about social standing and money, but also pertains to the way we carry ourselves. We are daughters of the King of King’s, and we should act like it!

Good sense of humor and strong (v.25) she carries herself with dignity and strength. When she thinks about what might happen in the future, she can laugh, she doesn’t sweat the small stuff or take life too seriously.

Wise and Discerning (v. 26) she is a woman who has wisdom, she does not speak or act in foolish a foolish manner. This is not the woman you see flipping out on the cashier at the grocery store over a coupon being expired. This isn’t the girl that is disrespecting or demeaning her man publicly. She’s not the mom who comes to her child’s school dressed in a mini-skirt, a halter top and six inch heels. No, she is discerning, she is thoughtful of her speech and actions, and she is very considerate of how she makes decisions.

In touch with her family (v. 27) she is in constant communication with her children and husband and all that concerns her home. She knows where they are, who they are with and is not caught up in things that will distract her from the matters of home, nor is she allowing room for the enemy to come and make his home in hers. She does not “eat the bread of idleness” which means she is not lazy, sitting around doing nothing. She has work to do, she is about God’s business!

Revered by husband and family (v.28) have you ever seen a family whose members talk to and treat the head lady just any type of way? Well not this sister! Her man and her children have the deepest respect for her, and they should! She does a lot to make their house a home, along with loving them, clothing and feeding them, and keeping them well.

The Lord is the head of her life (v. 31) this is the biggest one ladies. Even in the midst of all that this woman does, she keeps the LORD at the top of the priority lists. She makes time to pray, read His word and listen to His gentle voice as the guide for her life. Not even her husband or children, whom she loves dearly, are permitted in interfere with the relationship she has with her Lord, because let’s face it…if we don’t keep God first, we can’t expect to realize any real sense of happiness or fulfillment in our lives


Blessings,
Lenika Scott

Lenika was just BLESSED with a Lexus


God is in the Restoring Business and he ALWAYS know what you need when you need it. A few months ago my husband started asking me “What kind of car did I want”?



Car???


During that time, I wasn’t thinking about a car at all and to be honest it was the furthest from my mind.

Because we have so many children, I drive around in a Sequoia and have been driving this vehicle for years. Since she is also paid off, (to me) there was no reason to get another vehicle.

But this is what I really want you to understand because this is TRULY a story of **RESTORATION**

Not only was this a gift from my husband it was a gift from my heavenly father.

You see…
Years ago when Gregg and I had hit the Top Position of a MLM Company many of the Top Leaders earned a Beautiful Silver Mercedes Benz. Guess what? I was only a few thousand points away. YES!!! We had to Qualify for $500,000 in Sales (in 1 Month) in order to get the Mercedes Benz.

Well… I had produced $500,000 in sales for the month BUT it was not balanced so I wasn't able to obtain the vehicle.

 However, because our God is a God that sees our end from our beginning it was so not meant for me to earn the car because even though the car had to be earned, you would still need to produce the required amount of sales each month in order for the car to be paid for by the company.

God knew that our business would take a turn that we hadn't anticipated and he even saw that it would occur a couple years after we started.

Which brings me to this POINT……

If I had earned the car, the car right now would have GOTTEN REPOSSESSED because there was no way we would have been able to keep up with the Mercedes Benz Car Payments!

So…..
When Gregg started asking me about a car I immediately wanted to test drive a Mercedes or a BMW. But after testing the Mercedes, I looked at my hubby and said let me see if I like the feel of a Lexus and now the rest is history!

We got the car and it was priced $5000-$7000 lower than normal price and it dawned on me AFTER we drove the car off the lot that it was SILVER!!!

In fact I was looking at another Lexus but God saw it fit to give me this one!!!

I’d also like to add…..

She drives sooooo SMOOTH!!!!
And…She is PAID OFF!!!!
No Car Payments AT ALL… 

In this season of Blessing its not about how much you make its about how much you keep!!!!

God is good and YES.. he is greatly to be PRAISED!!!

Words of Encouragement~
Sometimes when you are in the midst of a storm and you don’t understand WHY you are going through just understand that he has your best interested at heart. Leaving the Network Marketing Company after building a business that had produced Millions in Revenue for the company was a huge disappointment and hurt for me (And I will Soon Share more of my uncut unedited bouce-back story) …

but what I’ve learned and I am still learning is this...

When Gods hand is upon your life he always brings seasons of RESTORATION. You can count on that!

Blessings,

Lenika, CAN YOU REALLY MAKE MONEY ONLINE????

Lenika, CAN YOU REALLY MAKE MONEY ONLINE????



I get questions very often about Internet Marketing AND Making Money Online!


Some of the questions are…


Lenika, Can I truly find Success Online?
Lenika, Does this (stuff) really work?
Lenika, Can I really Make Money on the Internet?
Lenika, How much time does it take to find Success?


MANY People stand back watching others and wonder IF it is really possible to make money over the internet let alone on Auto-Pilot!







My Answer is YES!!!

It is VERY Possible!

One of the things I live by and
have been living by for a while now is this…

If it HAS been done, it means is CAN be done!

This is a REAL Story!


Autopilot is pretty much when you post an ad Online
about your business. Someone decided to goes visit
your site and view the information and decides to join!



For Example... The Picture you see below comes from
a Sale that was generated where I didn't have to
do any convincing. He wanted to product, he went
through my link, he ordered the product and I earned
100% Commission from the Sale!





Many times, I go to bed and when I wake up to sales that

were made online!

Again, Autopilot Goes Like This...

*You Post an ad (with your link)
*Someone Visits your site
*Some will be interested
*Those that are interested and decides to move forward (Purchase using your link)
*You instantly make a Sale, a Commission, or Generate Income that you would '
NOT have generated had you not Been online!

(Does That Makes Sense)?

So... what's the next step IF you want to start
generating extra Income Online?

You find a company and a community of people who
are already achieving RESULTS Online, Follow what
they do and You Can Have What They Have!

Its just that simple!!!

The more you Market!
The more people will see!
The more you will make!




Its just that simple!!!

Then…

You teach others to do what you are doing
OR Plug them into a system that is already in
place AND NOW more income is Generated.


It's just that simple!!!




Do you want to make $25 a day? $100 a day? $1000 a day?

It’s now up to you. You have complete control. You just simply make the decision, and we’ll deliver the team, the training, the traffic. Everything that’s made the top leaders in this network successful, will be shared with you! EVERY-THING!!! If you can follow instructions – you can do the same thing.
