The Mindset That Turns Big Dreams Into Big Wins
In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the power of faith and imagination—two divine gifts that are essential to your success.   Faith is more than just optimism; it’s the mindset and foundation you must have for everything you’re building. Imagination, however, is different. It’s a divine gift that allows you to see beyond your present to create the future God has already placed within you.   It’s our responsibility to place ourselves in environments that not only cultivate our faith, but also give our imagination the freedom to stretch to the size of our vision. In this season, you’ll need faith, imagination, and vision to reach new heights, and in today’s episode, I’m going to unpack that for you.   Family, don’t forget to share, rate, and review.

Is Fear Affecting Your Bottom Line?
Called Family! In this week’s episode, I want to touch on the fierceness that’s required for you to carry out your calling. It’s important to note that fierceness isn’t synonymous with arrogance. It is an understanding that what is for you must be seized, no matter what!   In life, it’s normal to experience rejections, closed doors, and “no’s” when you’re after something. But when you believe in what God has called you to do, the “no” can’t stop you because you have an inner knowing that you are eternally and divinely accepted.   In order to reach new heights, you must remember that every “no” leads you closer to the yes that can radically change your life!   Family, don’t forget to share, rate, and review.

The Most Valuable Thing You Possess
We all place value on different things. Some people place it on their professional success, while others may place it on building a family. Regardless of what you deem most important, the one thing we all possess that is the most valuable is our name.  This week, I want to delve into the importance of a name. What do people think when they think of you? What do potential investors or business partners say about you when you're not around? Does your name precede you well, or does it deter people from wanting to do business with you? You can have all the success in the world, but if you have a tarnished name, in reality, you have nothing. Your name can be your professional calling card, and today, I want to help you ensure that your name holds value.  Family, I want you to be your absolute best, both personally and professionally. If you missed Called to Illuminate, I have some great news! The virtual replay is available now, and if you register today, you'll receive videos from every session for $49.

Is Your Hunger Working Against You?
In business, when you are trying to scale, people will often say that it's not just about what you know, but who you know. However, adopting this mindset can sometimes lead to a sense of desperation that is easily spotted by successful leaders. As we continue our series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scriptures," I want to pose to you this question: "Is Your Hunger Working Against You?" In today's episode, we'll delve into Proverbs 23:1-4. These verses advise us to be wise in our interactions with influential people, and to not let our being “hungry” get the best of us. While it's imperative to assess the value of potential investors or business partners at the table, it's equally important for us to remember our personal value to not appear desperate in the room. This episode will teach you the dos and don’ts of doing business with influential people. Also — Called Family, this Friday and Saturday, the Called to Illuminate conference in Los Angeles is happening, and as of now there are only a few seats left! We are just about sold out for our VIP experience and have a few standard seats remaining. If you're on the fence, take a leap of faith to be in the room. We'll be sharing practical tools, business wisdom, and insights to equip you along your entrepreneurial and leadership journey. Register now at www.calledleaders.com/events.
