It is a known fact that businesses invest time, money, and resources to generate results. But what about the ones who are not seeing any results? What does this mean for their businesses? There might be many reasons for not seeing results. For example, it could be because of ineffective marketing strategies or inefficient human resources management. Or it could be because the business has no strategy at all.   Show Notes: shorturl.at/cxBN9

What does it take to be successful in business? Many people would say that you need a great idea, excellent marketing skills, and loads of money. But what if I told you that the only thing you really need is faith? It sounds silly at first, but it's true. You see, your belief in yourself is one of the most powerful things on Earth- not just for your business but for your personal life as well. As long as you believe in yourself and keep moving forward, there will always be opportunities to grow and succeed! I came a long way as a single young mother, and the one thing that kept me going was the belief I had in myself. I saw the vision (and how long it would take), said it Oh God! It is going to take me this long...Ugh! However, I held on to the vision and made it happen. Speak life in your business!   Leave a comment and let me know how you felt about this episode.   Read more about me on my blog Teekwaspeaks.com Click the link to register for the VA VIP Day on August 28th https://vavipday.teekwa.com/ Click the link to hire a virtual assistant or team https://www.powerproassistants.com/scheduleacall Click the link to schedule a consult with Coach Teekwa https://teekwa.com/   Show Notes: shorturl.at/eglJW

My business coach Queenette Nwobodo, at the time, invited me to her platform to do a case study. It was great catching up from the time I hired her as my business coach. "She took me back!" I remember praying for the right coach. This is how God works, and we met a few years ago at a 2-day conference; she was a relationship coach at the time. The second time we got together was when we attended Forbes Riley, a pitch and sales trainer/coach mastermind. At that time, I did not think she would be my coach—God's divine intervention. After a few years later, she became my business coach. In this episode, I talk about being the case study of my coach, who I hired a few years ago. I went to her to help me with my virtual assistant agency, and it turns out she coached me into being a coach. I went from scattered sales in my agency to booking clients for my "Triple Your Income in 90 days Virtual Assistant Coaching Program.."   Show Notes: shorturl.at/doCP2
