Last month my dad turned 70
As he dropped me off to the station after his celebration dinner, I asked him 2 questions: "How does it feel to be 70?" and "what advice do you have for younger people?"
Listening to his answers, captured in this video, it was really apparent to me that he was answering this question with his younger self in mind.
This got me thinking about what I would tell my younger self about getting started with PR and I think it would be this:
One of the things that I like to do to de-stress is play Tetris.
For ages my high score was in the high 6000s and I spent ages trying to beat it until one day I stopped and just went back to playing for pleasure.
A few days ago, I opened up the game to play it again and had to laugh. My new high score was 7032 and I had absolutely no idea when I'd done it!
In the last week of August, I had the awesome pleasure of going to Panama with The Christian Travel Club
It was such an amazing experience with a great group of people in an amazing country
Whilst there, I had the opportunity to attend a small mastermind breakfast with Anthony O’neal
In case you’re unfamiliar with him, he’s a former Dave Ramsey personality and host of The Table. He’s also the guy with the mic in the video above.
During the mastermind I witnessed something which was a great reminder of why networking is so important and how, if heeded, could lead to PR opportunities for you too…
Last week we talked about 3 disempowering life and business beliefs
Remember that, sis?
As we stand at the beginning of a new year, I think it’s important that we discuss how to make it a success
If you’re anything like me, you’ve entered this year with a set of goals and things that you would like to achieve
Here are 4 lessons that we can learn from the widow in 2nd Kings 4:1-7 about how we can do that:
James 1:23-24 says that the word of God is like a mirror
Because “if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was…”
Walking in purpose, especially if it involves entrepeneurship, is something that also holds a mirror up and reveals what’s on the inside of us
This is something that we see in the life of Esther
Last week we talked about Jesus’ donkey and what she teaches us about how to overcome the insecurities that keep us from getting more visible
Remember that, sis?
Today, I will give you the practical steps for how to do this
As mentioned in last week’s post, a big part of letting go of insecurity is:
Loosing ourselves from other people’s opinion of us
Emancipating ourselves from mental slavery (Bob Marley)
Because it all comes down to mindset
Simply put-
I hate to burst your bubble, sis, but…
<sigh>
As much as it’s really important to set a firm foundation for your networking and PR efforts by knowing your “why,” no-one else cares about it
#justsaying
“So how do I get other people to care about my mission and vision, Nina?” I hear you say
Well…
It all comes down to knowing how to harness the power of reciprocity
Which is something that is really well demonstrated through Moses and Zipporah’s relationship- as detailed in the video below.
So for the last 2 weeks, lovely, we’ve been doing a lot of talking about Asenath and what she gave birth to- particularly with regards to the significance of her first son’s name (Manasseh).
Today, we’ll be moving right along to decoding the significance of her second son’s name (Ephraim) and what she has to teach us about being productive- all of which I shared on my Facebook page this week via the (live) video below.
