The Business of Tomorrow: Your Creative Mojo

Hello There Fabpreneurs, 

I am so excited to deliver my business summer series, "The Business of Tomorrow." 

The first topic in this series is "Your Creative Mojo." 

I like the word Mojo!! Mojo is your magic charm. It's what makes you "You"!! It what makes you stand out in the world full of competitors. 

Before you really Launch any venture, you have to do a creative assessment. Part of this assessment is your ability to adapt to new emerging technology. Major parts of that technology are:

1.) New Social Platforms

2.) New methods of delivery for information

3.) Your ease of mobility

Think about who you need to surround yourself with in order to accomplish this so that it doesn't stump your business. Meaning, if a new technology comes out that you absolutely will loose market share to, and you are scared to put yourself as an expert, then hire someone immediately that can keep you in the game. 

It has already been established the next industrial revolution will be that stemming from human creativity. Think about how corporate offices are shaped. Look at the movement of independent contractors all around you. We are called entrepreneurs, bloggers and creatives. Your ability to maximize on your individual strengths using your creativity.

The Thoughts of a Newly Minded Entrepreneur

Every year someone does it. A woman (group of women) decide that they are going to take that plunge. They are going to live the rest of their lives on their own terms. New Entrepreneurs, Mompreneurs, Solopreneurs and every other kind of preneur... embark on that most exciting yet stressful journey. 

I just wanted to sit my glass of wine down and speak to you a little about my own experiences over the last 6 months that were very real, very scary and very relevant to where I am right now. To many times in life I feel like we don't have those courageous conversations. 

Reflection One

I really needed to have a plan as to what, how and when I would distribute content. I had a thought like, "Yeah I will do blog posts 3 times a week." But let me tell you what happened. It was a mess. I was all over the place with my topics, and what it really looked like was a brain dump all over the internet. I knew that I had a huge amount of info to share. I just didn't take my time and curate it very well. 

Reflection Two

I initially thought that blogging would be easy and that I would be smart enough to just wing it until I made it. I was completely wrong. Those who had been in the game long enough and were killing it, and I looked up to ( I know..it's a run on sentence) had put a new level of werk into the game. I guess when all the REAL Fashion Editors couldn't decide how to take the IT that is blogging, the pioneers set the tone. 

I had to learn photography. I had to learn web design (at least the basics). I had to learn photoshop. Lastly, I had to learn video editing software. And this takes time. And the only thing that will get you through is an extreme willingness to get it done and for it to be prefect. 

Reflection Three

I needed to get myself Healthy & Fit. I still work at it daily, but it has really helped to improve me and helped me understand who I am as a woman. 

Reflection Four

I journey has set up the complete vision that I have for myself and my life. It has completely opened my eyes and my Pandora Box. I feel ready for this year. I am ready for all of my Highs and Lows to come. I am ready to just go for it, with everything I have, and every-who I am. 

I will catch you at the end of the rainbow!!!

Worksheet Wednesday: Wanting It All Now

Hello There Fabpreneurs, 

I am starting this new thing where I want to put out Success Sheets on Wednesdays to help guide you in your path to Living and Earning the way you want. 

Today is the first Wednesday of November and I want to make sure that I set this up properly. 

Scenario:

You know how you look at others and wonder why things aren't working out for you? Like you feel like you have the same gifts and talents that they have, but can't achieve the same pull? 

I used to feel that way daily. So much in fact, it made me jump into action and really go after what I wanted. 

I created this worksheet to get you mentally prepped to do the same thing. 

Just click on the image, download the success sheet and fill it out. If you want me to have a look see, just email it back to me at success@lovedavis.com and I'll give you some feedback.

Until Next Time.....

Shiny Distractions

You start off with a plan right? You are determined to make a complete difference in your life for what it's worth. You are going to make every diligent effort to make something amazing happen. And then what.....

You get completely distracted by all the shiny objects in the world. The newest and most interesting is SnapChat. We are all addicted. So you want to focus, you want to tell your story and you also want to stay in tune with what the rest of the world is doing and currently obsessed with. 

Branding and Marketing are the heartbeats of your business. I get distracted with new shiny objects all the time. The key is to check yourself every now and then and make sure that you are engaging and creating an experience for yourself. 

So here are my 3 tips to make sure that you are capable of  enjoying the distractions and at the same time focused on building your Global Empire. 

1.) Recognize the times when you fall into a place of dead space where you get easily distracted. Emotions can take a key roll in this. 

2.) Always keep your why in full frontal view. 

3.) Make sure and have a strategy in place especially if you are in the beginning places of branding or rebranding. The Brand Awareness stage is the most important.
