As you might agree, I have always believed that we are all born with a purpose for a purpose on purpose. Personally, knowing my purpose at the age of ten, didn't shield me from making mistakes and learning the lessons that accompany the development of purpose. For years I have said, “no one goes to bed a blunder and wakes up a wonder.”  Each of us experiences an evolution which leads us to the courage to walk boldly in the purpose for which our work was created. I believe that only once we surrender to our purpose do we finally experience a level of alignment that brings all we crave into being. Living in purpose often takes obedience and many of us try our own way and stumble before humbly submitting to what God has always known for us.  My guest, Dr. Nicole Roberts Jones, offers us an explanation – purpose matriculates.  Just like a college freshman enters a journey that years later enables them to graduate with a degree in a discipline, there are levels to who we are and who we become.  And our ability to focus on three things -  faith, purpose and profit are the key to “graduating” with a business that honors our purpose work while also positioning us to experience the abundance we are born into. Whether your journey mirrors that of Dr Nicole who it took 17 years to hit multi-six figures or mine where I filed bankruptcy and three years later was a millionaire, one thing is for certain.  Your purpose is going to go through phases and each phase is a set up to make, move and leave millions.  If you are ready for shift the way you see yourself and your purpose, grab your pen and Move to Millions Podcast notebook and listen in now to discover: 3 keys for staying focused long enough to realize the purpose of your work Why obedience and submission are essential to your next level How to shift the way you see money so that you can allow more into your life experience 3 steps to challenge your money misconceptions And so much more   Important Links: Move to Millions Live Incredible One Enterprises DrDarnyelle.com  Move to Millions Planner Move to Millions Book Powerful Quotes from the Episode “Clarity is freeing.” “I'm someone that wants to truly help people gain for God.” “when I looked at the word prophet, the definition is to gain.” “gaining is when I do the thing that I'm called to do.” Submission means getting under God's mission   How to Connect with Dr Nicole Roberts Jones Website: www.nicolerobertsjones.com    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nrobertsjones/ Twitter: www.twitter.com/NRobertsJones Last Book Dr. Nicole Read: Esther by Charles Swindoll Favorite Quote: Your comfort zone is where purpose goes to die Tool Dr. Nicole Swears By Own Her Move to Millions:  a CRM Incredible One Enterprises, LLC is not responsible for the content and information delivered during the podcast interview by any guest.

“Finding your purpose by knowing your strengths and what drives you is important because that is what makes you unique.” Ciara Dilley Navigating through the world of business as a founder is never easy and they usually need support at different levels to make it through. This is especially true for women because of the many roles that they play in their communities. Our guest today, Ciara Dilley, has been in the business of supporting women at levels and is convinced that finding your purpose and embracing agility goes a long way in helping business leaders to be resilient and navigate through challenges Ciara Dilley is the vice president of marketing for Frito-Lay North America and leads the company's ever-evolving portfolio of Transform Brands – including Stacy's pita chips, Sun Chips, Popcorners, Off the Eaten Path veggie crisps/puffs, and the Baked/Simply portfolio of snacks. Ciara directly oversees Frito-Lay's growth and innovation strategy to address this growing need and ensure consumers consistently have access to an array of options that fit their lifestyle. Whether it's been the development of new brands such as veggie-forward Off the Eaten Path or the acquisition of innovations like Popcorners, Ciara is diversifying the wellness journey for Americans everywhere Prior to joining PepsiCo, Dilley leveraged her experience in marketing, communications, and innovation to grow major international consumer brands within Diageo, Campbell Soup Company, and Kellogg Company.  Being a seasoned veteran with more than 20 years of industry experience and most recently recognized as a 2020 Media Post Marketing All-Star, Ciara is an industry pioneer in purpose-driven campaigns, having led several brands to make a measurable societal impact through campaigns that champion sustainability and support diversity and inclusion.

Ciara also works closely with several thought leaders and organizations committed to advancing female entrepreneurs, including SKU CPG, Hello Alice, and The Boss Network. In today's episode, we will dive deeper into how to give back to the world by doing the best of what we do. More will also be discussed on supporting female business owners, finding purpose in leadership and why it is critical to having a happy impactful work life. Listen in! Social media LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ciara-dilley-305469b I did law and German in college and I had no interest whatsoever in going into the business world. [5:00] I started working with Diageo in the marketing department and it was an amazing grounding in brand marketing and what it means to build amazing brands. [5:22] I also had a very huge fortune of moving to two other companies that were stellar in that area. [5:53] It was during my time at Kellogg that I headed the innovation team for Europe that I started to get interested in this idea of wellness and how food companies could be more responsible to support consumers in their journeys. [6:02] It was also during my time at Kellogg that I was being invited to act more as a leader and I started getting more heavily involved in supporting women. [6:28] When I moved to Pepsi in New York about six years ago now, I started looking for ways on how I could get involved in supporting women. [7:22] Along the way, I started doing both producing and selling, and supporting women. [7:41] I was doing a lot of self-development on how I could become a better leader and the idea of purpose was just beginning to come on the radar. [7:57] For me, purpose is the merging of what do you do functionally and what you like doing from a business perspective, and for me, I like selling healthier foods and supporting women. [8:14] Purpose is not something you find overnight but is a long journey. [11:18] There are certain things you are good at, and what do you love doing, and how can these two things come together to make you incredibly rewarded and happier. [11:46] The third element that is the icing on the cake is how these things can come together and can make a difference in the world. [12:05] In that area, large organizations can make a massive difference in pushing forward with the change that needs to be seen and being seen as educators and communicators in the area of doing good in the world. [14:45] Consumers are becoming more and more interested in this area for many different reasons. [17:15] It is an exciting time for the snack industry and we are always trying to do more to make it better in terms of availability and affordability. [18:14] The women I work with in the Rise Project are the most resilient, hardworking, smart, change-makers I have ever met. [19:50] Being an entrepreneur and having your own business is not an easy path. [20:12] Commercial break. [21:45] Accessing the resources from the Rise Project helped keep the lights on for the businesses owned by women. [ 23:07] Women have suffered much more during the pandemic because often they had to take the burden of care. [23:22] A lot of jobs that were lost were those held traditionally taken by women and therefore had a dramatic impact on the role of women in the workplace. [23:43] However, it has empowered so many more amazing women to take the power into their own hands. [24:04] There has been an overwhelming amount of financial support poured into this area particularly for women of color and justly so.

When you hear the entrepreneurship journey of someone who is successful, you often find that there are many moments that you can relate to. That was how I felt the first time I heard Nicole Roberts Jones story about five years ago. She was sharing what the first 17 years of business looked like as she went from broke to bankable. "I couldn't afford NOT to go!", Nicole spoke about the big investment that shifted her business. In order to make the shift to become successful, she needed to do a few things. 1. Stop doing the same thing looking for a different result 2. Learn to pivot because the tools you used for the level are not sufficient for the next level. 3. Hire someone and invest at the level you want to be on4. Don't pull a Milli Vanilli on potential clients and within her network (Oh, you know who Milli Vanilli is!) "Being able to serve or help" is a popular response from many women in the coaching industry. As women, we are coached to nurture from a very early age and that same nurturing heart is what we take with us in business. While that nurturing may be what our clients need, this can often play against us in a few ways. We find ourselves not charging enough or we do not say yes to opportunities because we feel we aren't qualified. Learning to fly as we jump from a cliff seems scary but if you look at successful companies you will see that someone had to take that jump. Nicole admitted during this interview that her own ego became a hindrance to being coachable. She looks at the mistakes that she has made as an opportunity for pruning. It taught her to spend more time in silence so she could hear God clearly before making decisions. She values seedtime and harvest as it comes to her business. It shows in the success she is having after 27 years in business.

“If God didn’t have to rescue you, what else could He do in your life?”  Tai Goodwin About Our Guest: Tai Goodwin is the CEO of Profit Momentum and founder of Profit Academy. A firm believer that wealth and spirituality are not mutually exclusive, Tai teaches women how to make bank so they can fund the lifestyle they desire, bring their purpose-based projects to life, and invest in the people and communities that matter to them. A tech-savvy, woo woo, coach and teacher who prefers books over shoes, Tai's super power is helping clients monetize their expertise by creating, marketing, and selling high-ticket signature programs. The author of Girlfriend, It's Your Time and co-author of The Profitable Woman’s Playbook, her articles have been featured on The Huffington Post, Forbes.com, Careerealism.com, and CAREER Magazine. Tai has also been highlighted by Money Magazine, Black Enterprise, and The BOSS Network.   Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Tai and I have a very candid conversation about how flawed religious beliefs keep people shackled to a scarcity mindset.  I have to be honest, you might not like what we have to say BUT you need to take every single word in. Tai and I share how moving from religion to spirituality has made the difference in how our lives bring us abundance financially and spiritually. Remember that we are created in the image and likeness of God, which is WHY we ARE worthy and we DO deserve it.  Further, when we move from religion and build a relationship with God spiritually and begin to see ourselves the way God sees us, our lives will be changed forever and your business (and life) will experience a big breakthrough. Again, while we might ruffle your religious feathers, our prayer is that you walker away with a true vision of how God sees you. And, Tai and I created a roadmap for you to stop being religiously shackled to struggle so that you can start experiencing abundance at the God level. Listen in to discover: The 7 steps to go from shackled to significance and abundance Why religion will keep you bound to a life you don’t love How to live into the abundance that you are entitled to How your beliefs are determining your reality How making the adjustments we share will show up in your business How you’re teaching your clients how to pay you  Powerful Quotes from the show: “Wealth and spiritually aren’t mutually exclusive.” Tai Goodwin “Scarcity mindsets keep ‘believers’ trapped in a reality that is anything but abundance.” Tai Goodwin “We teach clients how to pay us.” Tai Goodwin via Dr Phil “When God gives you something it won’t need batteries.” Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “God is principled.”  Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “God is not holding anything back from you.” Darnyelle Jervey Harmon  “God wants to do more than rescue you. If God didn’t have to rescue you so much what else could He do in your life?”  Tai Goodwin  “The secrets of abundance created in the origin text in the bible isn’t a secret, it’s hidden in plain sight.”  Tai Goodwin “You have already been given everything you need to go out and create.”  Tai Goodwin “Create it first and then it shows up.” Tai Goodwin The Model of Abundance:  who must I be, so that I can do what I do and have what I want to have The Model of Lack:  what do I have to have so that I can do what I want to do and be who I want to be“Boundaries keep things out but they also keep things in.” Tai Goodwin “The higher the investment, the more attention your clients will give to your brilliance.” Tai Goodwin  “People are looking to you to demonstrate what’s possible for them.”  Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “There are other ways to be a blessing besides giving your services away.”  Tai Goodwin   Questions to ask yourself when you’re experiencing a scarcity mindset: Why isn’t everything I’ve heard and been told to believe working?

"When building your network or social following, focus on quality not quantity" - Cameka Smith Speaker, trainer and award-winning entrepreneur - these are just a few words that describe Cameka Smith, Founder of The BOSS Network, a community of professional and entrepreneurial women who support each other through conversation, online engagement and event-based networking. Working towards one simple goal, BOSS® is “Bringing Out Successful Sisters” to promote and encourage the small business spirit and professional development of women. Under Cameka’s leadership, The BOSS Network has become one of the fastest-growing women business communities, garnering several accolades such as a Top 50 Website for Entrepreneurs (Inc. Magazine), 10 Best Career Sites for Women (Forbes.com) and one of 9 Twitter Accounts to Enhance Your College Experience (BlackEnterprise.com). In recognition of her achievements, Cameka was listed in Jet Magazine as a 40 under 40 Entrepreneur, named one of the Top 40 Chicago Game Changers by Ariel Investments, The Network Journal listed her one of their 2016, 40 under 40 Business Leaders, and she was presented with a Rising Brand Star award by the Adweek in 2017. In today's conversation, Cameka and I discuss the power of networking and building relationships. She shares why she launched her business, and how she developed a business strategy to monetize her brand and grow her business. Connect with Cameka:   Resources Mentioned:   A few of the questions I asked Cameka: Who are some of the women in your life that you're grateful to have around you and those who have really inspired you? What would people who you know today find surprising about you as a teenager growing up in Chicago? What did you have to give up to glow up? Did you have to shift your mindset, let go of people? What are some of the lessons you've learned about building relationships? How important is networking and social media to building and nurturing these relationships and an individual's personal brand? Key Points from Cameka: I am grateful for my mom and those who came before us. Because of them we are who we are. Our dreams and visions are tied to other people’s dreams and visions Cameka Smith used the power of relationships and networking to build The BOSS Network, a community of professional and entrepreneurial women who support each other. Find those who are looking for the same thing you’re looking for and build the solution Cameka Smith talks about building the business strategy to monetize the brand and grow her business Your business vision and desire to help people cannot be sustained without a forward-looking strategy If you’re gonna be in business, you gotta know your “why?” or you’ll be very easily deterred and distracted by everything else that is going on around you. The “why?” of The BOSS Network is to give women of color a platform to showcase their talents and their gifts and give them resources and opportunities to help them expose their brands. You have to build relationships and not just your rolodex BOSS stands for "Bringing Out Successful Sisters," and its mission is to promote and encourage the small business spirit in women When building your network or social following, focus on quality not quantity Here’s great networking advice from BOSS Network’s founder, Cameka Smith: Do your research before you get into the room, so you can drive the conversation and have something of substance to talk about. We must be sure we are operating with good character in our professional relationships to build authentic connections Social media is the great connector. It allows you to connect with an audience that you would have never otherwise met Connect the dots on all your media platforms Leadership does not always mean being out front, but it means serving in a capacity where your work impacts more than just yourself I operate from a servant leadership standpoint: looking for ways to serve my clients, my tribe, and give women in my network access and resources Great leaders are people who have crafted, molded and created their own table to have that conversation, then taking that information back to their communities Collaboration is so key: you can reach new audiences by collaborating with people in your industry or even other industries One Action To Blaze Your Trail: Go out and serve other people. Serve someone who can't give you anything in return.   Thanks for Listening! Please help us expand the reach of this podcast.

It's not everyday that I cross paths with a woman on my journey who hasn't allowed feelings of unworthiness to hold her back from rocking those dreams that have been calling to them in some way shape or form.

What is a defining moment on your entrepreneurial journey where you felt you were exactly where you were meant to be? What are your daily non negotiables? SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES: “I have come to realize that there is not one person in the world that is more worthy than me, or I'm more worthy than them. We are all worthy of all the abundance and all of the greatness that God has in store for us.” “Wherever you are, there's always room to grow.” “I wanted to believe in me more than anyone else believed in me.” “Don't get caught up in what other people are doing, because that's the easiest way to set yourself up for failure.” “The best way to step out there is to volunteer.

In today's episode, we are thrilled to have guest LovHER Cameka Smith, Owner and Founder of the nationally acclaimed BOSS Network.  Who better to discuss the age old question of how can we find balance between being a Boss and having a fulfilling personal life than someone who is a Boss and surrounded by Boss women every single day?  As women we often feel as though we have to sacrifice success in one area for the rewards in another and even feel guilty if one part of our lives is performing better than the other.  Is it even possible to have both and if so, what are some of the ways to get there?  Join us as we delve into this topic in hopes that you would walk away with something to add to your arsenal as we all pursue bliss in both our careers and personal lives.

All of us need support. Black Women entrepreneurs especially need to know the importance of connecting with others on the journey to success. Rosetta’s guest today is Cameka Smith, the visionary and founder of an amazing brand, "The Boss Network" which has been featured in Black Enterprise, INC, and listed in Forbes as one of the Top 10 websites to visit for career and entrepreneurial women. In this conversation, Cameka shares why becoming a member of a business network for women is so vital and how you can take the first steps to make it a reality for you. Are you part of a “Women In Business Network?” Why not? Women face some specific challenges when it comes to building their own entrepreneurial endeavors. It’s almost impossible to walk that path alone - yet some of you still are. Why? There are so many women walking the same path as you who can be of help and encouragement. Today’s guest, Cameka Smith created BOSS Network to help women like you build your business more successfully and with less of the emotional angst and frustration that is typical to walking the path of an entrepreneur alone. You’ve got to listen to this episode as she makes her case for building connections that can fuel your personal and business health. How you can leverage personal connections to advance your business. Cameka Smith has discovered that networking is not about the quantity of connections you make, but about the quality of connections you make. It’s like building relationships in any other area of life, you’ve got to find the people you click with and work at nurturing and investing in those relationships. When you have that kind of personal commitment to others you are willing to do anything to help them and they are willing to anything to help you. It’s a win-win - and you both get a new friend in the process. Find out more about how Cameka has learned this lesson and how she suggests you go about forging those kinds of connections, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. Why you have to put yourself on the to-do list. Rosetta loves to get jewels of wisdom from the successful Black Women Entrepreneurs she hosts on the podcast and when she asked Cameka Smith what she does to stay productive and on task, she gave an answer that was a bit outside the normal responses Rosetta receives. She said that she’s learned that she has to put herself on the to-do list in order to ensure that she’s getting the care, rest, exercise, and whatever else SHE needs to be healthy. In her mind, if she’s not healthy, there’s no way she’ll be able to serve clients and run her business in a healthy way. Find out more about why Cameka says every woman needs to put herself on the to-do list, on this episode. There’s no one “right way” to be an entrepreneur. One of the biggest joys of being an entrepreneur is that you don’t have to follow someone else’s outline for your life or your business. You get to decide how things will look and work. In other words, there’s no right way to be an entrepreneur. It’s YOUR journey and you get to figure out what works best for you given your unique personality and gift-mix - and you get to apply it in the way that fits your lifestyle best. Cameka Smith shares a ton of insight on this topic on this episode, so do what you can to make the time to listen.
