		<description><![CDATA[This blog post is going to be short and sweet. :)

It is for the person who is just starting out in business or whose business is brand spanking new.

You may hear a lot of talk about your niche and your target audience and after awhile, all of the marketing jargon may become mumbo jumbo in your mind.

So, let me make those concepts very elementary for you.

As you embark in business for yourself, ask yourself, "For Whom Am I The Champion?" 

In this case, when I speak of a champion, I am speaking of "one who fights; a warrior."  In other words, for whom are you going to battle?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would you do if God told you to spend the entire month of July in the desert? 

That's right....the desert. 

No cell phones, no social media, no reality TV, no news or sports channels, no email--no access to the outside world.

The purpose?

To move you to an  uninhabited place, where God’s audio is crystal clear and no distractions would keep you from receiving the revelation of your divine personal brand.

You see, it is one thing to set goals, to make plans, to get caught up in the busy-ness of attaining all that YOU desire; but, it is a totally different thing when you consult with God as your ultimate  "life coach", "brand strategist", and "business mentor" on what you should be doing, when you should be doing it, and how it should be done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are an "employed entrepreneur".

You work for someone else full-time but you are agitated because you know, that you know, that you know that you have been called to do something else. You have been called to be the CEO of your own business-- a divine business that you did not necessarily choose but one that has placed within you by God Himself. You have been called into entrepreneurship and the longer you are working in an environment that is contrary to that, the more frustrated you become. 

Well, I have good news for you.]]></description>

Well, that happened to me last Spring when I asked Him to help me make the connection between personal branding, business vision, and divine purpose.

At first, I was baffled, but then as the Holy Spirit began to connect the dots for me, everything became crystal clear.  Read on to find out how to discover the systematic levels or dimensions of your divine personal brand and how you can be sure that your business vision always aligns with your divine purpose.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just last March, March of 2012, I was sitting at my desk working on the computer and my chest began to tighten. My fingers felt numb and I had sharp pains at the base of my neck and into my shoulders. Then, I started feeling like my breathing was off. I guess you could call it shortness of breath.

My daughter, who was just five years old, was out of school and she was in her bedroom watching one of her favorite movies. I didn't want to alarm her, so I went on the internet and I typed symptoms of a heart attack.

I started reading the symptoms and my mind said, “You are getting ready to have a heart attack.” So, I called one of my dearest and closest friends who had been experiencing issues with hypertension so I knew she knew all about heart attacks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daniel fascinates me.

 I have been studying the book of Daniel in preparation for the Branded by God Telestudy taking place this evening. Simultaneously, I have been reading Branding Pays by Karen Kang and have been amazed at how God has helped me make connections between the two—Daniel and personal branding.

It has been said that personal branding is nothing but showcasing who you are and what you specialize in and my Heavenly Father does that oh, so well. I know that might sound strange but God is the Master Marketer—the omnipotent one who by the very nature of who He is draws men, women, boys, and girls to Him. He specializes in healing broken hearts, setting captives free, “so loving the world”, and granting eternal life.

Even way back in the Old Testament, you can see how he orchestrates what I call Divine Personal Branding through those He chose and Daniel is no different. In fact, Daniel epitomizes Divine Personal Branding--discovering who you are in God’s eyes, knowing what He has called you to do, and then using your gifts and talents to serve those He has called you to serve.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sound of your voice, the words you choose, your body language--they all work together giving people a sense of your intelligence, your professionalism, your energy.
People base their perception of you on what you communicate and most importantly, how you communicate it. The question is,

"Is the delivery of your message complimenting your personal brand or hindering it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was the valedictorian of the Class of '89 at Cresset Christian Academy.

Although, I had always loved school and did my very best since kindergarten; I'd worked extremely hard to "prove" myself once my mom enrolled me in a Christian school my eighth grade year. I was the only student of color in my class, so I felt this insurmountable pressure to show my classmates that I was just as smart as or even smarter than they were. I never imagined that my hard work would position me to have the highest GPA. It never even crossed my mind.

So, when I found out that I was valedictorian, I was so shocked. You might say I was flabbergasted.

Well, you may have thought that I would have gone on to some Ivy League College or at least gone to one of the larger more competitive public universities in North Carolina or some other state.

You may have thought that I would have pursued a career that would have paid me six figures, easily, in the mid '90's like law, accounting, computer technology, marketing and advertising, or even medicine; but, I didn't.

In fact, when it came time for me to choose a career and an institution of higher learning, I settled.]]></description>
