Faith-Based Female Speakers: Raise Your Voice & Get "Loud"

Hello Speakers, this is Sharon, the Faith Coach. Hey faith-based female speakers and entrepreneurs. I hope all is well. How are you? I wanted to come in today and encourage you to continue to quote “get loud” end quote. We have been through too much in life not to lift our voices and speak. We have something to say and if we don’t start saying it, someone will. Don’t let anyone take your place. Don’t let anyone tell a story you should be telling to the people God has for you to speak to. We ...

Bonus Episode: There’s More For Your Life

I’m blessed to be who I am today, but there was one time when I didn’t have much faith. I wasn’t the most confident girl and I didn’t think I was worthy of doing greater in my life. No, I was was not raised that way. My mother told me I was great, wonderful and could do anything I wanted to do. She loved me all the time. So, why didn’t I feel as confident as I should have? I let life get the best of me. I let people intimidate me. I let people muzzle me. For some reason I started believing ...

521. Protecting My Peace - Day 106 - It’s Time to Do Something

What are you doing everyday to build your business — your empire? We can’t be so afraid that we don’t move in what the Lord God has for us. What do you want to be and create? It’s time to do YOU. It’s time to do something that lives in your heart. There’s more for you & I. God is an abundant God who has so much for His people.

520. .Protecting My Peace - Day 105 - Investing in Yourself is Smart Business

When it comes to investing in ourselves, how far are we willing to go outside of comfort zones? There was a time when I didn’t want to give my business a chance when it came to stepping out financially and mentally. And it wasn’t until I started thinking higher that I was able to move to new heights. I had to step out and invest in business coaches and I had to start thinking bigger. One day I decided to go for it and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made business-wise and personally. ...

519. Protecting My Peace - Day 104 - Believe in Yourself, Don’t Worry About the Noise

If you’re doing what God told you do, keep doing it. How do you know God told you to do it?

If it’s truly in you it’s going to last. You’re going to go far with it and as long as you stay in tune with God, you’re going to win. So, stay focused.

Protecting My Peace - Day 103 - You Can Do Your Thing Too Do you know it’s ok to do what other people are doing? That’s right and I’ve come to remind you, that you can do your thing too. It doesn’t matter who is doing it. Know that. Remember this: there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). So if anyone is doing anything you want to do, there’s room for you too. If God put it in your heart, do it! Do it for that reason. Don’t do it because someone else is doing it. Do it because...

517. Protecting My Peace - Day 102 - Do It Regardless

What do you want to do? Are you afraid? Are you worried about what people think or say? If that’s the case, let all of those thoughts go. Move on from those thoughts of fear. I lived in fear of people’s faces and it was a waste of time. Jeremiah 1:8 says, “ do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.” Let that be power to you to do YOU — yes, do your thing regardless. What I’m saying, is that you can move, you can shake, & you can rattle the e...

516. Protecting My Peace - Day 101 - Being an Entrepreneur Takes Fire

Do you know you can bring fire to the things you want to do? Yes, you can turn things up in a great way even if you’re a little afraid. When it comes to building our business, we may be uncomfortable and nervous, but we still have to do “scary” things to go forward. That’s how we bring the heat — the fire. Are you willing to use your gift to build, create, and do monumental things? If so, you can indeed do those extraordinary things, but remember it’s goi...

#514 Protecting My Peace - Day 99 - Anyone Can Help Anyone

Do you know anyone can help anyone? Yes, anyone can help any of us with anything we need help with. We can't stop us our blessing, because we think we're too small or too big for someone who may look different than what we think they should look like. We have to be open if we are to go to next level in our lives and our businesses. Are you ready to go to new levels? If so, be ready to embark on new and unchartered territory. It can happen for any of us who is willing to do the work. https:...

513. Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

“Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm fo...

512. Protecting My Peace - Day 97 - Move and Make Things Happen

This is the deal guys, if we want anything worthwhile in our lives, we have to move physically to make them happen. Yes, having a healthy emotional mindset goes without saying. Yet, we won’t have that healthy mental/emotional outlook if we’re not physically strong (whatever that looks to each of us). I remember seeing a woman walk and walk and walk in my neighborhood. At the height of the COVID-19 quarantining she walked 4 times a day. Really. I was so impressed with that, because she was o...

511. Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should...

510. Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our ...

509. Protecting My Peace - Day 94 - Love Yourself More Than You Love Other People

Do you know that when we love ourselves more than we love other people, we can be much more present for others? I now know how true that is, but I had to learn it the hard way. You see, I used to put myself last and now I don't do that anymore. It didn't serve me well when I showed up for everyone else except myself,  just to do "what was right", to be the "good girl", or the team-player. Now, I know better and I know that when I am everything to myself, I can be much more for others. We all ...

508. Protecting My Peace - Day 93- Step Out Even If You’re Nervous

When it g comes to your life and your business, are you putting yourself out there? Are you stepping out? Trying something new? Trying something exciting? Starting something you haven’t done before, but always wanted to do? If so, awesome, keep going. You’re going to get there. If not yet, I’m with you in praying for more confidence and the strength you need to get there. Stay faithful.  I want us to succeed in doing what we love. There are so many people who don’t do what’s it their heart....

507. Protecting My Peace - Day 92 - If You’ve Ever Been Called, “Weird”...This One’s For You Kid

If You’ve Ever Been Called, “Different, Weird, Crazy, Out there, Stuck up...This One’s For You Kid. This one’s for you kid. And you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. I’ve been called those things many times over the course of my life, because I was the one who didn’t want to be like everyone else & today I’m still that person. Those words I was called never really bothered me, because they were others perception & I could only be myself. So, if you’ve ever been called those things & if...

506. Protecting My Peace - Day 91 - Things That Are Not Ideal, Can Change for the Better

Whatever the answer, just know that things change.  Let's take things that may not be ideal right now Like maybe you have a less than desirable house, car, or whatever.  Know that as long as you speak positive over your situation, believe in yourself, and of course believe God, then grind as much as possible, things will change.

505. Protecting My Peace - Day 90 - Our Mental and Physical Place in Life Can Always Improve

Are you in a mental or physical place and you would rather be somewhere else? If so, I totally understand. I totally get it. Yet, we have to continue going forward no matter where we find ourselves. We have to push through, because we can achieve what we want regardless of the people, places, and things around us. I remember being in a state and city I disliked and no matter how much I tried to like it, I never did and never will. It was so much different than who I was, but I made the best o...

504. Protecting My Peace - Day 89 - Don't Let People Stop Your Flow

When it comes to ensuring your peace is paramount, don't let people, places, and things stop you, your flow, or your grind. Stay focused on the great places you're going and where God is taking you. If anyone is trying to discourage you, don't let them get into your head. Look straight -- look vertically -- look towards heaven and stay connected to where God is taking you.  Years ago I used to let people stop my gifts and talents, because of what they said or didn't say and I don't want tha...

503. Protecting My Peace - Day 88 - Are We Minding Our Business?

When it comes to our business, are we minding it? Are we minding our business literally and figuratively? It's about spending time with people who mind their business, figuratively and literally. It’s about being around people who lift people up, not tear them down. It’s about being around people who bring peace and goodness in the world. It’s about being around people who are building their empires, not tearing them down. It’s about being around people who want to share with entrepreneurs a...

502. Protecting My Peace - Day 87 - Will You Be Better Off Next Year?

Although none of can predict the future, we can at least prepare for it. My questions regarding that are this: since time is going to pass anyway, where do you see yourself in a year? Will you be the same, better, or worse? Will you be closer to living the dream you have for your life? Will be operating in your online business no matter how small? Do you see yourself in a better place?  Envisioning where we want to be and what we want to be doing, is paramount to a successful business and l...

500. Protecting My Peace - Day 85 - The Cycles of Life, Time to Change Connections

Get ready for the shifting. Sometimes in the different cycles of life, we have to go in diverging directions from people we have connected with. Those connections may have been for a long time, but it may be time to shift and move from them. What I mean is that the alignment with certain people has changed and that's ok. No hard feelings. We may still value and believe the same things, but the specific things we have going on differs from they have going on. We have shifted to a new attitude...

Regarding your gift and protecting your peace, we have to watch who we let speak into our lives. Who are we listening to? Are we around eagles or chickens?

Listen, whatever you want to do, do it as long as you know it's right for you and your business. If you're around great coaches, consultants, and mentors who are giving you good feedback that y...

This is a continuation of our discussion on the importance of doing more. And when we commit to something, doing more may simply mean showing up. Do you show up for yourself? Do you show up for others? Who do you show up for?  I remember a time when I didn't want to show up -- I didn't want to get up for a commitment I made.

Are you doing more in your personal life and business? Doing more may mean being inconvenienced, which can also mean going out our way in order to get blessings for our lives.
