Reflection Friday

POG, I just realised there are still quite a number of women on our list that we haven’t covered. So next week, I’ll try to make the blogs a bit longer so we can go through as many as possible. After this series, I’d like us to study some men in Scripture, and then we’ll see where the Lord leads us next. Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a beautiful day.

For those of us in South Africa , we’re almost springing into Spring, and I’m super excited! I was honestly so fed up with jackets and boots. The only downside? Soon I’ll be fed up with the heat too. Is there a place with perfect weather all year round? If so, I’ll pack my bags, relocate, and live happily ever after! I have a short message for us, I’m writing on the go, but I trust that it will help us.

What are you good at? Your skill, talent, or gift?

Identifying that isn’t always as hard as we make it seem. We all know what we’re not good at so it should be easier to identify what we are good at. Simply put, it’s usually the opposite of what you can’t do well 😂 We’re in August. That means we have four months left in the year. I want us to practically plan our growth.

For example, I’m good at writing. So, I ask myself: in what ways can I improve? What haven’t I done to expand in this craft? Maybe visit more bookstores, try ghostwriting for well-known people, invest in more advertising, or publish more books.

Here’s how I can plan, just a rough idea:

Research the best-selling authors in my genre.
Read their books and measure myself against them.
Take action by fixing the mistakes from my first published work.
Get more work out there.

I’m sharing this to give you an idea of how to scale up before December. Nobody rises by accident. Not by mistake. Rarely. Ever. Never. Some of you can bake. Some of you can cook. Here’s a tip ,specialise in one dish and sell it until you’ve built enough clients to roll out the rest of your menu. That being said, go do your homework. Let’s meet here next Friday with progress in hand. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find events you may want to attend and a link to a new magazine that’s sure to inspire you. If you know any business seminars on and offline please plug us in the comments.
