Guys, I have a confession. I’m walking through a breakthrough right now. It’s a gate. It’s unfamiliar. But I’m doing it anyway. I’m doing it in Jesus, cuz He said I could. Today, is the end of a 21 Day Business Sales Challenge with my mentor. I came in first place by 3,000 points. I worked hard with joy for it. I grew, I learned, I got lots of sales because I gave steep promos. My goal was to win so I could get exposure through my mentor’s network for the ultimate goal of bringing my husband home from a job. Then, we can work this together, turn on the financial faucet and steward the funds for His ministry. My mentor messaged me last night and said he wasn’t sure if I should get the points for all those invoices I submitted (it’s how you earn points) because my promo prices were incredibly low compared to other contestants. Then he followed up with, “lol I guess I didn’t specify how much you should charge.” We had a nice interaction and in the end, he liked my strategy and asked to interview me on youtube to show others what I did. But, here’s the breakthrough. It made me question myself… even till an hour ago. Did I cheat? Do I not deserve it? No, I followed the rule. I worked hard. I did the actions to get to first place. It made me afraid of being first place. I was afraid of taking something because I had a sharp strategy and relentlessness due to having a huge WHY. This morning, I had 3 more invoices come in “paid”. I almost didn’t submit them because I was already 2,000 points ahead. Holy Spirit reminded me of something, and I submitted it quickly before my human mind could get in the way. So, I prayed and praised the Lord. God’s been working on moving me from the residue of the orphan to a daughter who receives. I didn’t set out to win for self-exhortation. I ultimately aim to give God all the glory all the time. So I ask him, “Lord, what do You want me to do with this victory.” I share this here because I needed to share with someone. And I needed a community that might understand what I’m going through. I’m growing spiritually and financially. The only way I can make it is if I remain meek and touch none of the glory.

Did you know Compound Interest is said to be One of the Wonders of the World. Google defines it as: Compound Interest is essentially "interest on interest." It occurs when you earn interest not only on your initial money (the principal) but also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. This stacking effect causes savings or investments to grow at an increasingly faster rate over time. One of the most famous examples of the power of Compound Interest is Ronald Read. He was a Vermont janitor and gas station attendant who died in 2014. He left $8 million to charity. He never earned more than minimum wage in his life. His secret was buying dividend paying stocks and not selling them for decades. But the craziest compound interest story in history might belong to Benjamin Franklin. When he died in 1790, he left £1,000 each to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia but with one condition: they couldn't touch it for 200 years. By 1990, Boston's share had grown to over $5 million. If you deposit $1,000 today accumulating 7% interest each year, after 50 years you will have almost 30k. $29,457 to be exact. The stock market averages 10% each year... but when you calculate inflation... its around 6-7% annual return. What if you invested 10k instead of $1,000... you would be looking at 294k after 50 years with a 7% annual return. Why am I telling you this??? Is it to invest in the stock market? Well, that's not a bad idea... Benjamin Franklin called Compound Interest the "stone of wise men". Compounding is exponential, not linear. The curve looks almost flat for the first few decades, then suddenly rockets upward. The last 20 years of a 200-year investment contribute more than the first 150 years combined. I'm telling you this so you can understand the spiritual law of consistency and faithfulness. These are two characteristics that look basic and boring but over time you will bear exponential fruit. Most people are looking for the next best thing, newer grass, but wise men understand the grass is greenest where you water it.

Hey so I stumbled onto something that I think might have changed my life. I say, "might", only because I just discovered it this week and time will tell how effective it is in the long term. Time management has always been an area of opportunity in my life and now that I have the freedom to decide what I do, when and how long... I can get lost and accomplish far less than when I had a boss standing over me. It's just like time disappears. Well this week I tried something so basic and so simple that anyone can do it. No excuses. You know the little clock app on your phone or on your computer... the thing everyone has and overlooks... It has been a game changer. What I do is I set a timer for each task before I start it and what I found is that just setting the timer... gets me moving on things that I would procrastinate doing for weeks. Not only does the timer get me moving, but I use it to schedule my day. You see, a full 8 hour day, if you do not have a boss, can run away from you. But if you're wise... segment your day into 1 hour blocks. Decide what you're going to do in that hour, set the timer and then go. When the timer goes off... look at your progress. It's a dopamine hit of accomplishment and achievement each time! Its a game that really becomes so fun, but more importantly, productive. I even use Ai as a quick place to take notes on my day. Tell it what im planning to do for that hour and then come back and share what happened. By the end of the day I have a list of everything that I did and whats next for tomorrow. Let me know if you're going to try this or if you have other hacks that work for you.
