The WHO question is fundamental to your vision’s implementation schedule. While everyone is not ready to  hear about your vision, there is someone, there are people WHO are definitely ready to buy into you. This statement may seem contemptuous, while not meant to be, it is the truth. There will be people WHO pick up the phone when you call. There will be people WHO will not answer the phone when you call (the trick is to not leave a voice message so you can call back, I am being facetious).       The point is someone is willing to listen. Many times, as it pertains to our visions, all we need is a listening ear or someone WHO will challenge us to think deeper. The process to determine what person or which people to call should be strategic. WHEN you decide to call you should be prepared with WHAT you are going to say and HOW you are going to say it.       It is true… you only have one opportunity to make a first impress...

Many times it is the WHEN question that will disturb and curve your enthusiasm for your vision. You will feel a tense sensation of wanting to move NOW because you think your vision is necessary. Well, I want you to embrace that feeling because your vision is needed now! The strategy you choose to implement your vision will determine the WHEN. Being anxious to move forward on your vision is a healthy sign that someone is waiting for you. The challenge is to be still enough to know WHEN you are suppose to move.       For example, five years ago WHEN I implemented my 501c3 not for profit for young women, one of my inclinations was to speak in juvenile detentions centers.  The whisper that I received at that time was “ you are not ready yet ” . My first reaction was “ But, YES, I AM! ” . Needless to say, because I received that whisper I was obedient and didn ’ t call the detention center. It wasn ’ t time. I could have been destructive with my words had...

You may be asking yourself what is HOW? STOPS NOW!? Yes, it sounds good. Yes, it is a “catchy” phrase. However, is there truly power in this phrase? Will this statement catapult me into my newest endeavor? Will this statement bring clarity about my vision or dream? Will this statement lead me into my purpose, the purpose I know I have been called to live out? Will this statement expose my purpose because I do not know what it is?  My answer to these questions is an emphatic YES! HOW? STOPS NOW! This is my philosophy… I do not believe you are given a dream or a vision without provision. I do not believe you were placed on this earth with specific fingerprints but were not born with a specific purpose which is embodied in the visions you receive. The battle is to not become consumed with what you envision a dream or vision is supposed to look like.  Essentially, you should not compare your vision to society’s standards or someone else's life because you will be disappo...
