Hello everyone,

I hope all is well! Happy Canada Day!

I am actually off my regular job today, waiting on some ribs, and a nice drink as I work away on the financials of my business plan to prepare for a couple appointments to re-assess my plan, so I want to make sure I have done the adjustments that were suggested.

They say a business plan is a living, breathing, document that requires updating all the time. It is your road map that helps you achieve goals and let’s you know if you are on track to accomplishing your vision & mission.

Reading my plan gives me a lot of inspiration because I get to celebrate what God has helped me to accomplish, since 2005 (the launch of my first book). It also gets me to focus on what tasks, steps, and goals I still need to accomplish with God’s help to prosper as a successful artist with a mission/vision & a social entrepreneur trying to establish my brand.

I started doing intense research for my business plan in 2007. It took me 2 1/2 years to put together my detailed plan and the past year I have been adjusting it as I learn more, make more connections, and invest more funds.

It’s good to have a plan for anything you do. It keeps you focused on the bigger picture and doing what you need to do to succeed. I am learning that as I check my plan often to see what I need to do to get to where I want to be in my mission & vision. It’s also good to remind yourself that you are not a failure when you have moments when you feel like your dream will never come true. Moments when you feel like you have taken too much of a risk.

Anyways, I am off to a movie now “Grown Ups”.
Stay tuned for more info on upcoming shows ETC … also feel free to hit me up if you want to book me for speaking engagements. Please spread the word.

Take care & God bless!
