She shares why she didn't initially want to pursue leadership opportunities or become an entrepreneur and how God gently led her in the right direction to best use her talents. Jill also shares why it's so important in her life to start her day by checking in with God in quiet and peace and asking for direction and instruction for that day. "When God speaks and you don't listen, he'll speak again and keep tapping.”  - Jill Donovan “I realized when you give people the opportunity to give when they might not have otherwise done so it opens up a whole new world for them.” - Jill Donovan “The more you immediately start saying yes to when your ‘knower' knows - it becomes habitual.” - Jill Donovan This Week on The Wow Factor: Jill's joyous upbringing and her dreams for the future as a child What Jill did to explore what God was calling her to do in life Why she took a sabbatical from her career as a divorce attorney to find something that fulfilled her spiritually How Jill got onto the Oprah Winfrey Show seeking her true purpose with a fun family story and the moment she nearly cried on stage The idea that God dropped on her that reignited her creative passions The beautiful story that prompted Jill to ramp up her bracelet making and commit to the giving lifestyle Why Jill decided to write The Kindness Effect despite never wanting to be an author, and the moment that finally made her put pen to paper Why Jill leads in the unique way she does and how a supportive generous team build an effective leadership environment Jill Donovan's Words of Wisdom: Just because you can doesn't mean you should -  there's a lot you can do when you're leading a company and it's growing, and you have all kinds of people. But just because you have the ability or capability to do something doesn't mean you're called to do that particular thing.  Connect with Jill Donovan: Rustic Cuff Website Rustic Cuff on Instagram Rustic Cuff on Facebook Rustic Cuff on YouTube Connect with The WOW Factor: I Like Giving: The Transforming Power of a Generous Life  by Brad Formsma Words of Wisdom Website Brad Formsma on LinkedIn Brad Formsma on Instagram Brad Formsma on Facebook Brad Formsma on Twitter

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
