KINGDOM MESSENGER NETWORK™ EZINE FOR MAY 1, 2012

Confessions of an Entrepreneur: I was afraid to try!

Even though I give career and business tips everyday, I have a confession to make that I hope will help each and everyone of you in your journey.

It’s no secret that I am a certified human resources professional by trade who got laid off in 2001 . That’s part of my success story on how I used the layoff as a defining moment to take control over my career. I worked hard to build a brand, and make a name for myself. I have been blessed to become an author, career expert, speaker, radio host and even Publisher of a CAREER Magazine.

My secret is, this ever-changing technology had me afraid to try something new! Ya know, launch out into the deep….

 

For many years, I “controlled” my career, but left certain parts of my destiny to others such as graphic designers and web designers {no, they are not necessarily the same}.

Why? Fear. Not the spooky kind of fear, but fear that I would not or could deliver in excellence so I made an excuse and stuck with it. I am a human resources professional and human resources is what I do!

While I am the first person to tell my clients to “sell your strengths and buy your weaknesses”- – I still have to admit; I have paid way more money than I should have over the past 10 years on websites. While I understand being an entrepreneur requires wearing MANY hats, I simply refused to wear the hat of a web designer.

Since 2001, I have had approximately 10 websites built and I paid someone to do it each time (I currently have 6 separate web sites).

Fast forward… I had a discussion with my graphic designer who is proficient in both graphic and web design. I shared my goals to update the CAREER Magazine website (which she created in 2008). Based on our conversation, and the direction CAREER Magazine is heading, she suggested a Word Press website because it offers the most flexibility.

She found a great template for me and offered to do the website for less than $300.

That’s important to share because that’s the cheapest quote I ever received for any website. Knowing the caliber of her work, and her worth; I figured she just was giving me a price break because of our long-term working relationship. Or she felt sorry for me because she was aware of my graphic designer nightmares and all the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I’ve spent on websites over the years.

When I was finally ready to move forward with my website, my “main” graphic designer was in the process of expanding her business and moving her home business to a retail location. She was happy to upgrade the website, but told me she could not start on it for another two months. As a general rule, I have always worked with several designers because experience has taught me to always have options and sometimes – - people just get busy!

I have two other graphic designers that have successfully completed other projects for me when my main designer was unavailable. But decided to just go in a totally different direction and try a BRAND NEW designer I had met online a few years ago (and met him in person summer 2009 while visiting my best friend in Detroit).

Before turning over my website I had him to do a graphic design project for me and I was sooooooooo happy with “his” work. So, I turned over my website and a $300 partial payment as his requirement was 50% down to start.

After waiting more than three months for my website, I began to look through some emails and realized that my new “graphic designer” did not design the project I was so happy about – - HE HAD OUTSOURCED IT! (which explains why the website samples he sent were not up to par).

Long and short of it, I never got my website from him, I have yet to get my money back {which he has repeatedly promised to return} and I will be working on my formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau as soon as I finish this blog. But I digress.

During this process, I began to mentor a young lady in the New York area who wanted to start a Magazine. I explained to her that my time was very valuable and her mentorship would be a working one. During one of our frequent talks, she mentioned “updating her website” and the light went off. I asked her about her web design skills and low and behold, she has built several websites using the Word Press platform.

I told her that I now needed her to pour back into me as I had poured into her. She willingly agreed. Via Skype, she walked me through the BASICS of creating my website through Word Press. For some reason, I still had the fear that I could not do it to the level of excellence that I would be satisfied with.

So I put my website aside and began to work on my husband’s website. Once I got the hang of how Word Press operates (and I’m still confused about some things). I buckled down and completed my husbands website over over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Media Ministry: Sharing Your Kingdom Message Online

When it comes to media ministry online and finding ways to spread your message to the nations, I am always praying for the right tools.

I know you are busy and have schedules. But I also know people NEED to hear your message, read your book, hear your Christian song, or experience your God given anointing. A powerful media ministry online can be one powerful way to make this a reality.

So many people are hurting today, needing hope, deliverance, and healing.

It was not much different in Jesus' day. Check this verse out in John Chapter 5. It made me think of the MANY people needing your Kingdom revelation and anointing:

“In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water…”

This is a pool called Bethesda where these people lay waiting for the moving of the water to be healed. We know from these verses that they waited, “For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had….”

How many people today are blind, lame, or paralyzed waiting for someone to lead,help them get to THE source of living waters that can heal, save and deliver!

Who do you know who needs to be lifted up and put into the pool of the Holy Spirit for cleansing, refreshing, and yes healing?

Your message is for these people today who are:

• Blind….cannot see the truth clearly…
• Lame…crippled physically, emotionally, and spiritual from soul wounds…
• Paralyzed…by fear that leads to procrastination, anxiety, and stress..

You know you have a message that can “make them well"

You know God has given you a Kingdom assignment to reach your audience, your flock, and they are waiting for you online!

Is there a media ministry solution?

I’ve learned a content creation formula that I believe is a real answer to prayer for me. It's called "The 10 x 10 x 4 Content Method.

I learned it from my friend, Mike, and the guys over at Traffic Geyser. Mike, Frank, Paul…these men have really helped me learn how to harness the power of the internet using video and social media to spread my message online.

As I ask for revelation from the Lord that will work for you,I am amazed at how HE answers my prayer with sound strategies that work!

Here is one explanation:
