Spring Forward in 40 Days!... My Girlfriend's Business... via @jillblackwell

click thru for more details       Welcome to the first edition of My Girlfriends' Business Newsletter What is My Girlfriends' Business (MGB)? My Girlfriends' Business is a network of women business owners who come together to pray for, partner with and promote other women business owners who know and love God! What do we do? On March 1, 2011, we took a 31-Day Advance called "Take Care of Your Business" where we met every morning at 5AM (EST) to pray for a particular topic and received an assignment related to that topic. (Some of the ladies who participated in the 31-Day Advance) For example, our first topic and assignment was REPENT. Repent to God and those you had wronged in your personal and professional lives. Needless to say, this was a challenging assignment for many of us because we had to face situations and circumstances that we would otherwise like to forget about. But we are reminded that God can not bless you beyond your obedience. I personally struggled with this assignment because there was one particular person I did not want to deal with or apologize to. I eventually was obedient (on day 31 at 4:49AM - right before we started the last call) and sent her a sincere apology via text message. She was very receptive and we have both moved on! Thank God! WHAT'S NEXT? During our Celebration and Networking event on Thursday, March 31, 2011, we announced our next challenge "SPRING FORWARD IN 40 DAYS" WHAT IS SPRING FORWARD IN 40 DAYS? During Spring Forward in 40 Days, you will become a part of a "team" designed to help you start, expand and grow your business, first through prayer, then through partnership and lastly through strategic markeing and promotions. If you've ever thought about starting a business, what's holding you back? If you're unemployed, do you trust God enough that he can help you find ways to create an income for yourself — even while you're job hunting? If you already have a business, you can get re-energized through prayer, partnership and learn new success strategies. In the next 40 days, we will challenge you to change your life and increase both your knowledge and your confidence in yourself and in God -- both are key to springing forward into the best life God has for you! WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? You will gain skills in goal setting, leadership, communication, team building, accountability, responsibility, business money management, entrepreneurship, marketing and more.
