Feedback is a big word in the office. It generally has a bad reputation and it's associated with negative experiences and emotions.

Growing this muscle will help everyone communicate and work together better.

As black women, we need to understand that our lives and the outcomes of them are within our control more than we know. The decisions and intention we carry into each day, leading into the rest of our lives, make an impact we can’t fathom. Jill Flowers is Rosetta’s guest on this episode and she serves black women as a spiritual mentor and life coach, one who helps you get in touch with the deeper reasons for your existence and the ways you can enrich your own life independent of the circumstances you face. Listen and be inspired by Jill’s frank but down to earth advice - and be sure to share the episode with others you know could benefit. When black women are living a happy and fulfilled life, everyone benefits. It’s tempting for black women of all ages to believe that taking care of themselves is selfish. People depend on you. People need you to be there for them. But if you are not healthy, strong, and vibrant, how can you expect to be there for them when needed? It’s not possible, which is why it’s the most unselfish thing you can do to take care of yourself. In this episode, Jill Flowers explains why you need to place a higher priority on providing for your own health and happiness and the positive impact it will have on the people you love if you do. Don’t miss it. You have to be active in your own healing and happiness. Life is not only something that happens all around you, it’s something you have an influence on yourself. You get to contribute, you get to impact the world in significant ways. That principle holds true for the healing and happiness you need and want as well. In this episode, Jill Flowers describes what happens when black women determine to take part in their own healing and pursue their purpose with all that they are - and she gives some tips for how you can get started on your own healing journey right away. You won’t want to miss what she has to teach. If you set your intention for the day, nothing outside of you can change that unless you let it. One of the most impacting things Jill Flowers spoke about in this conversation with Rosetta was the power of setting your personal intention for a given day. She says that when you take the time each morning to pray, meditate, and center yourself for the day - and then proactively decide how you will show up in that 24 hour period, nothing can stop you. It’s a choice, a determination that only you have the power to initiate, and Jill explains how it can happen. If you can adopt this practice it can set you free from circumstances and put you in the place of control over your own life. Black women naturally put others first - but sometimes it is what kills them. We are women, black women - and we naturally have a place of concern and compassion for those in our lives. But our tendency to put others first can be overdone, to the exclusion of our own health, well-being, and emotional strength. Jill Flowers says that we’ve got to stop, we’ve got to develop a plan for keeping ourselves healthy and on track before it’s too late. You can hear Jill’s advice and discover some steps you can take right now to reorient your path so you don’t crash and burn like so many women do. It’s all on this episode of Happy Black Woman.

The Soul Activist takes one from “Pain to Power to Purpose”. This is what Jill does in her work with Black Women. She helps Black Women heal from the false narratives and beliefs that keep them from realizing their high potential. The ideas that you are not enough or The “I”m a strong black women” syndrome, I can do it on my own is a belief that needs to be healed. Jill believes that Black Women are the link to healing the Black Community. She believes that when Black Women have a full understanding of their Alkhemy she then becomes the medicine for her family. She is capable of harmonizing her family and thus the community because she herself is harmonized. “Consider, you are powerful beyond measure and you have limitless potential.” Jill Flowers defines a modern day Renaissance Woman as Transformational Speaker, Wedding Officiant, Activist, Author and not the least of these Mother and Wife. Co-Founder of The Abolish the N Word Project, Inc. Jill and her husband received over 100,000 hits on their web site’s powerful message the first month in existence.

They were awarded numerous accolades including a Proclamation from the New York City Council, and a Trail Blazer award from The then Manhattan Borough President, Scott Stringer.

She uses metaphysics and spiritual principals to provide healing and strength for the women who attend her monthly healing circles and group coaching. Jill's Ministry includes, Officiating Weddings, Couples & Marriage Ministry, Spiritual Counseling, Soul Activation programs, Soul Shops and Healing Retreats.

Jill Angie is the “Not Your Average Runner” Founder and Coach.   Jill was the first person to go through my workshop and she doubled her business in 10 days because she stepped into the person who made a difference and inspired the people who she wanted to inspire and was able to write emails from that inspired place. It became easy and effortless to sell out her program.   At times you step into a version of yourself because you need to know you can do it.   Old Money Story No One Will Pay For This at $398/year! New Money Story $6K Running Coach Builds A Tribe   WHO IS JILL ANGIE   Not Your Average Runner is for women who haven’t considered themselves athletic, are in the 40-50 age range and want to rid extra weight and feel more confident, happier and healthier. Her clients may feel like running is not within their grasp. Jill helps them change their life as a life coach, running coach and personal trainer. Jill helps people change things through the eyes of running.   LIVE MORE INTO WHAT YOU DO   My favorite quote from Jill Angie is this, “If you run, you are a runner.”   Many people think running has to look a certain way - as far a speed, size of your body, etc. but only 5-10 % of the running population look like they just came off of Running Magazine’s cover.  In fact, most people who run do so at different speeds, have different body shapes, some of us run/walk, etc. Running is basically faster than a walk.   This same concept applies to what we do here to on the More Money Show. If you manifest money at all, you are a money manifestor.   Let’s find out what has happened with Jill in the last two years.   EVOLUTION OF NOT YOUR AVERAGE RUNNER   In 2013, Jill wrote the book “Running with Curves” and she was doing personal training from her Philadelphia home. The book is about how you can start running in the body you have right now. Women started reading the book and emailing her and finding her on Facebook that Jill had changed their life.   She was pleasantly surprised and wondered what she could really do with it.   For most of 2014 she wondered how she could incorporate this into her business.   She started working with a business coach who told Jill she should start a year long program and Jill thought that was a terrible idea that no one would do. She told the coach, “No one would ever pay for that”.  The coach encouraged her to try anyway.   Eventually Jill launched this very underpriced program at $398/year plus a free retreat. Jill lost a ton of money on her first program but she sold it out. What Jill learned from this was how to launch a program, what worked in that business model, what she liked and what she didn’t, and who her ideal client was.  This was an investment in her confidence, skills and ability as a coach.   She wanted to sell it for thousands of dollars but her money mindset and worth as a coach kept her from that. She raised the price over the next few months and a year later, she easily sold the same program for $6,000.   JILL KNEW JUST ENOUGH TO LAUNCH HER BUSINESS   For Jill it was all about the learning process of being a coach. The program was basically “If you are overweight and struggling to run, I can help”.   In order to be a coach, you have to be coaching. The magic happens when you are coaching not when you are trying to figure it out.   Jill originally thought this model should include a weekly group coaching call, discussions on their training plans, guest speakers on webinars, teach extensive lessons and having a detailed website full of content but her coach encouraged her to do something different.   Jill started with a free Facebook group and a weekly call using a free conference call number for the first six months of her program. What her clients really needed was time with her.   JILL INVESTED MONEY TO LEARN   For the first year, Jill used free resources - Facebook group, free conference call, zoom so she had no technical costs in the beginning.   In 18 months, she went from charging $400 to $6,000 for her program.   Jill raised her program every time she “knew” it was time, she just knew. When it felt like it was time, she changed it. Everytime she raised the price, it became easier to sell. This was a fascinating concept to her. When she believed the program was worth more, that came through in her promotion of it.   Because Jill started her business in this way, the perfect system showed up a year later because Jill now knew what she needed.   JILL INVESTED IN HER OWN CONFIDENCE Jill just launched a $20/month membership group for her community which allows Jill to influence and help more people. She loved the idea of building and working with a huge tribe. This membership group includes a weekly coaching call on zoom and a place where people can get their questions answered from a $6,000/year running coach.   It has been wildly successful and fun so far.   The people in this group are varied. Some people have never ran before and some people are doing their first marathon. It is great because new people can see what is further down the road for them, and people who are struggling can ask for help for their personal training plan.     Jill has realized that she needed to prove to herself that she could charge a $6,000/year package so that she could now decide what price point she wanted to sell her program at. This gave her confidence. She now sees the worth in her own program.   Now she sells her membership program at $20/mo because it feels fun, easy and amazing. Everyone can do it.   YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE COMMITMENT YOU MAKE TO YOURSELF   Jill started her business so she could come to work everyday and have fun.   The clients who got results in her $6,000 program were the clients who showed up and did the work they needed to. People can get the same results with Jill by paying $20/month.  Jill has realized in this process, “You are only as good as the commitment you make to yourself.”   The concept holds true for all people from coaches to course participants.   Jill is an instructor for her Life Coach School and one of the things they make all their coaches do before they get their certification, is coach non-paying clients for 3 months. This helps them learn their skill and not worry about selling. The magic comes in getting to do what you do. This can be coaching, running or anything that you do.   I LOVED HELPING JILL GAIN CONFIDENCE   Jill said working with me became life-altering. She said she was all in her mind before working with me and that I showed her that she could drop all of this head stuff long enough to look at possibility. Jill says this was a turning point in her career.   CONNECT WITH JILL   Watch for periodic openings for Jill’s monthly program at http://runyourbestlife.com or her main website at http://notyouraveragerunner.com

If you don't have motors in your life and you do have anchors, the anchors are going to pull you down and drown you. Be around positive people that pull you up and plant positivity, not fear. Jill Blashack Strahan shared this when reflecting on how she found significance and success as Founder & CEO of Tastefully Simple, despite experiencing tragic loss when her spouse and two brothers died much too early in life.  As a speaker, Jill often asks her audiences to "Think back to a time when you have been filled with fear. Did you get through it? Do you believe you are stronger because of it?" She continues by sharing her personal story as a mirror: "I tell them, I've been there. I made it through. You can make it through too." You are going to love hearing from my dear friend, client & author. From simple joys growing up on a dairy farm in Minnesota to the wisdom her grandmother continues to share today through books she recommended decades ago: Jill's story will remind you that you were put on this earth to shine. My Main Takeaways:  What Jill learned from falling in love with an alcoholic and joining the Al-Anon community: Let go go of behavior with love. We love the person, hate the behavior. These ideas were key in shaping my life. The Serenity Prayer helped Jill to not be reactive and stay centered during the hardest times in her life. Jill's wild success ($14k annually to $100+ million in 8 years) is tied in part to her objective: "To help people become more of who they are." Fear is about what we're thinking. Thoughts control emotions. Emotions control actions. Don't get caught up in fear. We say 'why me' when bad things happen, but why not say 'why not me'? What makes me so special? If you don't have motors in your life and you have anchors, they are going to pull you down and drown you. Be around positive people that pull you up and plant positivity, not fear. Whatever is given to you is meant to be a gift in some way, it's not a way to hurt you or pull you down or destroy you. Fear is a gatekeeper to strength always.  Business is about ebb and flow and finding the "new right answer." I have learned so much in the last two years, we changed our paradigm, from home tasting parties to one-to-one & online channels.  Order your copy of Jill's book Simply Shine here. Learn more about having Jill speak here. Setting goals & creating a game plan is critically important. Jill never made more than $14,000 a year and was working out of her shed when she launched Tastefully Simple. Within 5 years, her business was worth $11.8 million. Her SMART goal had been $11 million in 5 years Life is a learning process. "We learned as we went along and reserved the right to get smarter and build trust with people. We promised we would deliver something excellent, but acknowledged we may stumble along the way to getting it right. The team approach was huge. It took the pressure off of people as they joined us - we didn't have to be perfect."    JILL BLASHACK STRAHAN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach was significant for me. Today We Are Rich by Tim Sanders was another that was very timely for me. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do? I would give a lot that money away. Tastefully Simple has financially afforded me much in life. I would definitely want to build a park in little Villard, MN. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Old photos that I don't have digitally. Especially so that my son Zach would have them, memories of his dad. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? It would be my Grandma Aida who gave me the books I mentioned. She was very well read and very understated. She was not one who espoused her intelligence, but I would love to know more about her perspective on life and our family dynamics. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Always go least to most, if you give too much and take away people lose trust. When in doubt do without. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? I would make sure that I knew the Maryann Williamson quote about worthiness and I would make sure that I knew that I am worthy and that God expects me to shine. That's one of the best things that shifted my thinking in my mid 30s. We are here to shine, not to feel unworthy. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? She helped people shine and become more of who they are.  *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe (to automatically get new episodes), rate & review (help spread the word!) this podcast anywhere you get your podcasts.
