3 Mistakes in the Career of a Solo Business Owner by Tanya Smith

When I first started looking at a business opportunity, it really wasn't planned. I had been approached by someone to participate in a direct sales business. I didn't know the person, and I actually never saw them again after I joined.

Trusting and Reinventing, Ginny Victory

This drove Felicia to her knees in prayer: she got honest with herself about who she is, what she believed and what she really wanted to do. What is that still small voice whispering to you? Where do you need to trust in the Lord? In what ways will you reinvent? What action will you take today?

Life Satisfaction by Janet Daughtry

How Life Purpose Connects with Suffering by Tony Stoltzfus

Paul, one of my first coaching clients, engaged me to help him discover a sense of purpose in his life. Several months into the relationship, his teenage son was tragically killed in a car accident. That event completely changed Paul's focus and his sense of what was meaningful in life. Over the next year, we talked about issues like transparency, grieving, how to allow others to support you, who your real friends are, and much more.

Workship by Tanya Smith
