The passion for enterprise

It is something that wakes me up, in the cold of the night, thoughts which dance in my mind, ideas that haunt me. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and my mind swims with fresh new ideas. Everyday i am cultivating a new idea, trying to develop my brand trying to put my name out there. Yet there is a problem with this, Jack of all trades master of none, and that is something to be weary of in this time. There are so many get rich quick schemes, so many get rich now schemes, so many materialistic things we watch which fuel a hunger to become so much more than what we are. It has always been my dream to become a millionaire, the word dance on my tongue, i know it is about discipline, ideas, vision, passion, network,stepping out of your comfort zone and belief. Some are blessed with a midas touch, exceptional communication skills, whilst others are dynamic entrepreneurs. My vision will take me to the height of my freedom. My ambitions will  celebrate the belief that if men can walk on the moon, much is possible under the sun.

There is no crime in believing in miracles, in expressing the wealth of your knowledge in knowing your strengths and focussing on them rather than letting the world drill into you, your weaknesses. It is something that wakes me up in the night, the hunger to be more than what i am, to propel myself forward, to keep going. What wakes you up? What drives you?

Building your brand:Brand bytes

Each vision is rife with competition. the market is oversaturated with people who believe they can do what you can do , and they can do it so much better. What are your strengths? Which areas are you weak in? How will you solve a problem? How will you create access for yourself,
How will you monetise your ideas?
Provide a service
Build a brand?
Provide access to those who have a passion for your product. What are the core strengths of your product? How will it make a difference? How will it impact on others? Change lives? We live in a microwaveable society will it improve a function, will it improve a service? How will you brand it, market it, bring in clients, network to attract potential partners,investors, funds, schemes, grants, Bring the community together. Provide work opportunities for young people, teach them about enterprise. these are some the deliverables you should be thinking about.

Fuel and fire

what you have inside you, is fuel, ammunition, and what that is is more than words. The power to translate simple words into affirmations, affirmations, into motivation, activity,momentum and consistency. Have a timetable, a schedule. Build a database of contacts keep practicing your pitch until it’s needle sharp, it has to be sharp enough to make an investor salivate. The right business language, terms, and knowledge of your industry will draw the right network to you. 

The search for fish

These dreams they whisper against the tide of such pertinent fears, do not succumb to the well of shadows, sucking you in, drowning you in a crimson river of your own denials. We must face them, taking each fear by the throat, speaking to it with our passion and action. Creating an active self, not an inactive vessel, and being more than just dreamer, visionary, you must become equipped with tool kit ready to muddy waters, and search for fish.

Freedom is aflame

You are challenging a self you are yet to discover, and on this Voyage,  challenging a self you are soon to become, open your mind, open your mouth and sing unto the clouds, for you are free , and there is no prison in your soul. A bird sits on a window ledge seducing you out into the open air, the magic of the great outdoor to enchant you away from your slumber. Remove the glass from your feet, you are no icicle dancing on hot coals, melting before the eyes of the world, you are free as a flame, roar and set the world on fire.

Explorations of the self

The stakes are always high when you are stepping out of your comfort zone, and as you become a greater self, championing your passions you will see fear begin to disintegrate. A shadow of its former self, whilst you stroll with a proud gait, celebrating your strengths, for fear tried to overwhelm you, yet wisdom saw you deserved to sit on a throne. When we are stepping outside of our comfort zone, there is so much friction, from those around us, from life itself, for it is used to us in our comfortable skin. Yet you must tread the path where you search for your glass slippers, align yourself with a greater self, believe in your potential and focus on your goals a bite at a time. Stepping out of your comfort zone, allows you to explore the wealth and wonder of life and despite the Friction, you would have learnt new things, new remedies to create laughter medicines, and access to a future you believe in.

Wealth in an abundant mind

Wealth is an abundant mind, a spirit that strives beyond indecision. How you manage your time will determine what more the universe gives you access too. Abundance begins in the mind , according to the Law of attraction. It is a mentality, and a spiritual psychology, it is one of the key universal laws of success, and yet. An abundant spirit and mind does not mean spending all the money you have in your posession, it means being open to success, it means being open to more opportunities, connections and networking. When we open our minds we see with a clear perspective, we are more likely to engage with those at a higher frequency. Growth is about healthy consumption, what you allow in, is what develops your character and enables the good opportunities to access the portal of your soul.

Of Loving and living

Come on i encouraged, i was lost in a distant oblivion trying to build myself up torn between old fears and a thirst for a new reality. It can happen to anyone that is caught between old pain and a thirst for a new reality , a new beginning. We find ourselves eager to find our victories so quickly , and by god you will find your victory, in so many strengths. So many of your glories. I have a saying, walk into your glory. It is a saying i have which translates to learn to love yourself, we are consistently growing as a self, evolving as a self, and we become abundant within ourselves. Whatever you accomplish, you succeed by accomplishing it with all the different layers of self, and a deeper understanding of love.

Network and Navigation

Its the vision that keeps you up all night, tattoed in your subconscious, restless between your sheets. You leak it like a goldfish in a bowl with salt water, it is your dream. How many of us have a dream, it haunts you when you try to be normal, it covets you, holds your hands as you tremble junkie, desperate for another fix. Eager to see it, another view, another glance, another visual, where are your building blocks, my friend? Where are the little steps you plan to take. Start with the why and develop the how, why would other people help you build this dream. I realise long ago, that the why questions about concept, self and community, created access. It nurtured growth and delivery, it facilitated a wealth of understanding about what i was trying to create, what i was trying to develop and give others access too. How could i monetise it, and create a strong brand and platform of which others could maintain an interactive hub, whereby they could trade and get what they need?Whereby they also could become captains of their own ship? Commandeer a fruitful financial footprint, and navigate their way to success.

Self Trust as a standard

Just get on with it, i groaned aloud to myself. I was repeating a pattern. A favourite of mine, where i would hype myself up with new goals and challenges, but to meet those deadlines i would become highly frustrated.Until i chose to master a system, my routine and strategy to getting things done, my ability to counter the fear and procrastination that built up like residue and played like a stage performance in my mind. I realised something as i struggled to achieve my goals, losers are also ambitious people also. Yet they have poor habbits and a poor methodology to getting things done, they fail because they like many others like the idea of doing things but are not willing to do the work. Success is something that takes place internally before it becomes an external output, you must challenge all the blockages, distractions, the interferences, and keep going. You must believe in what you can do no matter who says its impossible and you must commit. It is less about the talk and more about the action,yet there will be days you must have a talk with yourself and no matter how small the goal, you must deliver, it is about trust. I have learned this with trial, you must learn to trust yourself.

Success and its clues: How to empower yourself in business

Many of us know success leaves clues. (https://www.pwastore.com/details/redebonyhotspot)
 We are on the net surfing those clues, attending workshops, networking at events, meeting our next mentor advisor or 'business guardian.' Yet how many of us simply execute the small steps for the long journey. Success is a process, and within that process you will find its not about what you end up with, its about who you become. (https://www.pwastore.com/details/redebonyhotspot)

As individuals we actively scribble our plans down on notepaper, or frame them for the world to see, others of us actively make our tongues limp from discussing them over and over and over again. We buy books, listen to podcasts, motivational videos, to inspire execution. Yet execution comes from your hunger to commit to the future you see yourself in. The future is about the present, what you do now, will define who you will become. Create access for yourself by following the clues of great leaders and executing a titanium plan. In order to achieve mass success, you must  have a system in play. A daily discipline that becomes a regime which you stick to, a positive habbit that empowers you. You must be stern on yourself and committed. Be consistent. Sam ovens talks about consistency being the sum of all success, and he should know he is no a millionaire ten times over. It is in your habbits , your daily disciplines, your rituals and your regiments that you will find success. It is in enjoying the becoming, that you will discover access. (https://www.pwastore.com/details/redebonyhotspot)

Have a vision but dont see blind. When we are heading to a destination we dont just use our sight, we key into all our senses to direct us. We become navigators, we ask questions, key questions that direct us towards the answers we require.
Success has left breadcrumbs for your senses, it is inviting you in. Yet you need to do the work you cant simply plan to do the work, talk of doing the work, connect to people who have done it and spend a lifetime looking for shortcuts. You must execute and find your way to that gingerbread house, walk the path less travelled. With focus, dilligence and an upbeat attitude to face challenges.(https://www.pwastore.com/details/redebonyhotspot)

Your millionaire mind

It doesn't matter what people say about you, it's what you know about yourself to be true that counts. Low self esteem is a slanging match with one's self. We claw ourselves down, because we have the ammunition of other people's razor blade words, words that bleed out every core . Chain you to a new shadow, and sink you to a grave of self contempt. As an entrepreneur, a creative, an individual, as a self, you must love this self, you must affirm positivity to this mind. It is not your passenger, it is your driver, for it to steer you, you must respect it, bless it with new knowledge, connect it to people who have engaged with wisdom whose paths are growing, and excite it with new challenges. The mind loves challenges, your mind wants to show you your potential, but it must ease you into it, with goals, vision, and hunger. In the quiet times speak fire to become flesh, ideas waltz when they are given legs with actions, they parade themselves before you, triumphant, look what I've become, see my path, share my journey. Knowledge doesn't just empower, it heals.

Mist of change

It's a decision we make within our selves,not to be beaten, to permit access for grand opportunities. When I started my journey as a writer dealing with the disability I had and some of my emotional trials, it always frustrated me not arriving at my destination with the ease others seemed to. Always hungry, weeping inside my head, what am I doing wrong. It had been a perpetual habit of mine to mourn the loss of time, and things that had crept away like shadows. Thoughts that buzzed with so much saturation reporting me back to the chaos of myself. I wanted to be a millionairess, nope I wanted to write, i have a business mind. Nope I wanted to write. Writing is a dream, writing is as far fetched an illusion as me walking out of a mirage and giving you ten million pounds. Then it happened to me, and I couldn't believe it. I signed a contract with my agent and my book Lunchbox Millionaire was being looked at by Penguin? This all began with the redebony blog, I had just lost my job to a case of office politics. In retaliation I chose to start up a blog ranting about this jerk off, who had made the last days of my working life absolutely hell. I was ridiculed, laughed at, patronised the works, but of course my ideas were used because they were great ideas. What would I call this new platform of mine? Red was my favourite colour, I had been criticised a lot for my ebony skin growing up.Yet I took pride in it. Therefore this new chapter of my life I would call redebony, then at some points as you do I got even more jazzed up, and called my blog redebonyhotspot. Last year I wiped a tear off my mother's face as the doctors told her there was nothing they could do about my epileptic seizures, the fear of status epilepticus the last year hung over our heads like a dark cloud, this year I watched my mum's eyes light up as I told her I'd turned my book Lunchbox Millionaire into a company. An enterprise for education. From taking the risk on my work I now have an agent, a new company, and have advised the Financial times, I'm working with the Princes trust,and the Oxford academy. Take that epilepsy! When you have doubt counter it with productivity. You are the change you seek.

Pictures on the canvas #4billionhits

What would you change? If you had your life to live over again, what would you change? The reality, we all want to change elements of our life, elements of our journey. Yet its what brought us to where we are now, eager to reach beyond the prisons of conformity and slice ourselves appart from a uniformity self. You are, who you are. It took me many years to accept this, i spent time trying to validate an insecure self, compromising to fit in with other peoples rules about identity and self. Until i realised, we are who we are, each one special and unique, distinct, creative, visionary, enthusiast passionate about our own quirks. People will always try to mould you, they will try and fix you, poor broken sparrow with their aged wings. Yet through the chaos and suspense eventually we ascend towards a heightening development. People change, they grow, they make choices that mean much to them. Sometimes you have to be lawyer and defend your former self if you believe your actions were to positively assist and facilitate others, you are still learning, you are still growing eyes to see a clearer picture.

Chasing loose challenges #4 billion

You have something special to accomplish and you have time to do it, it is not about who turns you down, who rejects you, whose door you knock at that wont provide you access. Its about creating opportunities for yourself, out of your vision. Using key objectives and motivating yourself when you get in a slump. There are days where things will seem dire, where life may turn you inside out, yet think to yourself one day, i will be free of these negative emotions of this toxicity. Let me find a door, that i can open myself, and i can lead others to a pride of place. You are your vision. You are your strength, you are your hope and you are the light in the darkness. Bold steps when the bone is fragile. You must believe in your ability to perform because life is set up for contenders. Whether you have a disability or not, whether you have an ailment or not, you have a path and you must arrive at the finish line no matter what foibles are in your way. It is the daily tasks, the affirmations, the sentences we say in the morning, the prayers we keep in our hearts. Others may not know your potential, but you stem from promise. You are the baby of a womb ripe with ideas, let them envelope you, and fasten your seat belt your in for the ride of your life.

Aces Arriving #4billion

They may not see you when you get there, but keep going anyway. We all have people we want to proove ourselves too, people we want to assert ourselves before, and people who we want to respect our dreams and ambitions. The reality is, sometimes those people are on a different path, to a different journey and a different destination. It is your job, to remain foussed on your challenge no matter what life throws at you. Believe, achieve and recieve. You will have a day where you rise as a phoenix from the flames announcing yourself to the world, and roaring with a passionate flame. They may not see you when you get there, they may loose themselves in their own insecurities and their own stuff, yet the object of your discipline is to proove yourself right. All those affirmations, those mornings spent, those daytimes daydreaming of the outcome. They may not arrive with you, but when you get there, invite your world in. You have triumphed against all odds, you have beaten the whisperer in the mirror, you have ignored the naysayers and the maybes, should be's and could be's , you have listened to your own inner voice. The inner voice has prevailed, here you stand, postcard in hand saying i have arrived. Can you visualise it yet, because i can. It leaves a sweet taste in your mouth, like a delicious apple, wipes the thirst from your tongue, tattooos your chest with boldness.

The devil and your daytime thoughts enterprise.and epilepsy

It began with a whisper of things you could accomplish then the shadow of doubt crept in, launching you into an oblivion of untidy thoughts, how do I change the world this world, my world, how do I let the light back in. It is easy to give up especially when your battling epilepsy. I suffered from epilepsy for many years but learnt to channel it as an energy, fuel emotions, refuse to let the world pass me by. You have the thing beyond the epilepsy box, epilepsy is about fear and being controlled, everything is about tiptoeing. Yet this is your life, this is your legacy. When you look in the mirror do you want to see an illness, when you go to bed, do you want your bedtime tales to be of avoidance and running consistently. I've spent much of my life running, sprinting, chasing ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. In school with epilepsy I dealt with feeling vulnerable, afraid, overcompensating, outside of the playground old habits die hard. Yet I want you to know what faceless statistics won't tell you, you are dealing with something and the world has its issues. Epilepsy and enterprise ? Go for it. Live your life, and stop letting the world dictate to you how to live it. We're here but no one is here forever, we are on a journey of growth and learning. You are on this journey with me , enterprise adventurer, share it with the world, we are redefining our steps and living a life of promise. Share this with someone you love, or someone you know.

Soaring through the silence

I thought about braving through the hard times and weathering the storm, in life you must believe you can. Believe you can do anything. Be committed to your discipline and network as though your house is in drought , and requires some water.It is uncanny the amount of casualties out there, in business, branding, networking. They have tales of all the trials and tribulations the chaos of the mind is a busy thing.I want you to visualise your success, close your eyes and see yourself accomplishing your goal, celebrating, with precision becoming the greatness you seek. You must believe in your potential and scatter doubt to the dusk by taking things a goal at a time. Some of us loose out because we can't follow a discipline, we have no strategy , yet let 2016 be the year you blind others with the ability to triumph. Sing a different story, fail some more and learn from it. Failures are there to help you develop, their there to help you grow, their there to carry you so you can learn and adjust until you tap into your unlimited potential. There is a higher self, a greater self, an infinite self you want to see discovered before time turns you into a relic. As a warrior you will announce yourself and the world will celebrate your strengths, yet you need to celebrate innovation within yourself. You need to dive into those embers of fear, whether it's about business, family, or the self, and rediscover the wings which will help you soar.
