It is crucial to think before you speak. When you open your mouth and say things about yourself or anyone else, you are opening the door for Satan to step in and create chaos in your world. If you have found yourself thinking negative thoughts and saying negative words, it is imperative to adopt a positive mindset practice.

It is essential to think before you speak because what you say can be used to take advantage of you. Satan is waiting for every opportunity to distract you and pull you away from your foundation in Christ. He lurks about, waiting to convince you that your identity is what you think and say about yourself, not what your identity in Christ says about you.

My suggestion is to adopt the practice of my 7 Cs which are:

1. Catch the negative thoughts before you speak them out loud.
2. Challenge the negative thoughts. Are they realistic? Would Jesus think them about you? Would a friend or loved one think that way about you?
3. Confess the lack of belief, negative thoughts, negative emotions, and any negative phrases you say and ask for forgiveness.
4. Collaborate with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to give you strength, knowledge, and wisdom to change your thoughts and to increase your faith in Christ.
5. Change your thoughts and the words you speak. This takes daily practice.
6. Control - as you commit to this positive mindset practice and actively do it daily, you will have more control over your thoughts, emotions, and the words you speak.
7. Confidence will become second nature as the negative thoughts decrease and you focus on your belief in Christ as your Savior and what is possible through Him.

If you do not actively change your thoughts and avoid speaking negative words out loud, they may become your reality. Words are powerful. Choose them wisely so as to manifest the life Jesus has for you, not the things of the world. You, with the help of the Holy Spirit, can change your life, one thought and one word at a time. Get to it!

AI, particularly tools like ChatGPT, has allowed business owners to streamline their processes while maintaining their unique brand voices. Learn how to leverage AI and revolutionize content creation, save time, and still sound authentically "you".

In today's fast-paced business world, every entrepreneur wishes for more hours in the day. You can reclaim time in your day when you leverage AI to serve as your virtual assistant. AI can handle many tasks that consume precious hours. From generating content outlines to researching client avatars, AI simplifies these processes, allowing business owners to focus on higher-level tasks that drive growth.

More on AI

One of ChatGPT's standout features is its ability to create content. However, it's crucial to remember to use AI-generated content only after editing it. A good guideline is to follow the 80-20 rule: use 80% of what ChatGPT provides, and ensure you refine the remaining 20% to reflect your unique voice. This practice not only maintains the authenticity of your personal brand but also safeguards against copyright issues.

A significant aspect of using ChatGPT efficiently is setting up custom instructions. This feature allows you to program ChatGPT to understand your brand's voice, values, and target audience. By doing so, the AI-generated content will be tailored to sound like you, making the editing process smoother and faster.

Practical applications of ChatGPT that can be game-changers for business owners.

ChatGPT can assist in creating presentation outlines and slide decks, offering ideas for each slide. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who struggle with visual content creation. Additionally, if you're developing an online course, ChatGPT can help outline the course structure, ensuring you cover all necessary points comprehensively.

Another area where AI proves invaluable is creating consistent and engaging social media content. Business owners can ask ChatGPT to generate a week's worth of social media posts tailored to their audience. Business owners can ensure their content remains relevant and effective by inputting specific instructions, such as including calls to action or focusing on specific themes.

Aligning with our values is not just about finding personal joy but also about creating a meaningful and fulfilling life and business.

This book provides valuable guidance for moms and anyone looking to build confidence and ward off the perils of comparison.
"Comparing yourself to others or to an impossible standard is never useful. We usually compare ourselves and try to do it all because we fear that we don't measure up but end up falling short of an impossible standard."

It is so important to understand your values and align your life and business with those personal values. Recognizing our values is crucial for personal fulfillment and success. Values are not about what's universally good or bad but about what uniquely lights each person up. Dropping the judgment in what you think you should value more or less is the first step in embracing personal values.

Checking in on your values

1. Make a List: Write an extensive list of things that matter to you in different areas of your life—personal, professional, financial, health, relationships, and spiritual.
2. Prioritize: Narrow down this list to the top five values that resonate most with you. These are the values that align deeply with your core.
3. Reflect: Regularly check in with yourself to ensure your daily actions and decisions align with these core values.

Comparison is a natural human tendency but a destructive tendency that often leads to feelings of inadequacy or failure. We can step away from this comparison trap when we know and honor our values. Understanding what truly matters to us allows us to operate from a place of inner confidence. When we are grounded in our values, we are less likely to judge our accomplishments against someone else's achievements. This shift in mindset reduces the "compare and despair" syndrome and opens up space to appreciate others for who they are without feeling threatened or diminished.

More on comparison

Embracing your values allows you to reshape your perspective on success. Instead of working towards goals based on societal standards or external validation, individuals can set and pursue deeply meaningful goals.
