Credibility is one of the most critical factors that will affect any business you chose. Being credible is simply the perception of being trustworthy and believable. This is Why do buy brand name goods and services on the Internet and in the off-line world? One of the key reasons is that the brand represents a level of quality that they know and trust.

While building your business, it is important to stay consistant, patient and willing to stick with the challenges you may face on your way to success. That’s what Theresa Johnson did, she became successful by the way she chose to conduct her business. Professional, Honest and Committed.

Join us as we talk to travel entrepreneur and member of the Black Business Builders Club, Teresa Johnson of Gotti Travel. She will share information about great places to travel, the travel business and Building Business with The BBBC.

This S-E-P has been with The S-H-E-M-A Gurls since 2007 and we are proud to call him our brother. Regaurdless of the trails he has faced in life, his talent still speaks loud and clear and triumphant  through them all. 

Adolph, in our opinion, an award winning poet and story teller. We will be speaking to Adolph Hudson, who has a great gift for gab as well as an awesome gift of writing. He is a very talented poet with a newly published book. He will share his story with us, a little poetry and information about his new book and upcoming projects.

Do you have pure talent and have no idea what to do with it?

If you have answered “yes” to that question, Sharing your talents are far better then hidding them. Adolph is here to share insight of how he has chosen to use his talent. Come to the show, maybe the story of his path will also help you.

~ Do you have talent?

~ Do you need ideas on how to use the talent you have?

~ Have you been told you had a talent, yet you are afraid to use it?

Please join us August 14th 8pm PST, 10pm CST, 11pm EST on Blog Talk Radio as we talk with Adolph. We look forward to your replies on this blog also  joining us live on the show as well.

Your comments and support are always appreciated, Thanks!

Procrastination, frustration, dreams, future goals and accomplishments towards getting things done….

These are some of the things that hold us back from bringing out our talents and sharing them with the world.

Just like some poets…there is a struggle, not to get it on paper, but to keep it moving and sharing with the world your talent. If it’s always been a dream of yours, what is it that holds you back from making that dream a reality.

The dreaming process is the easiest part of the road to success. Dreaming takes no boundaries, talent or skill. Just close your eyes, dream and wish up some stuff. However, putting the actual dream into action is where the skill comes in. Things like knowledge, courage, stamina, faith, hope, integrity, longevity and self confidence are the action words we need to start dreams in motion. These are the real verbs that play major roles in us succeeding to the completion of our dreams.

~ Do you have a poetic side?
~ Do you have a dream to share your talent with the world but are struggling to make it happen?
~ Have you been there but are now making things happen or did you just give up?
~ What is you biggest dream for your poetic talent?
~ What is you biggest set back?
~ What have you done thus far to reach your goals?

Your comments are appreciated
Share with us your  struggles and triumphs

~ You’ll never amount to anything!

~ That idea is silly!

~ Do you really think YOUR capable of that?

Those are just a few questions negative people ask when you tell them your dreams of the future

~ What are your dreams of success and what are the awful things people have said to you to discourage you from the reality of future success?

Sometimes the negativity comes from the dourness of people, ranging from family, friends and co-workers. These are people that we regularly life our life surrounded by, yet are the very same folks that discourage us the most.

Maybe you’ve heard things like:

~ That Pipe Dream of yours will never really make it.

~ Why ARE wasting your time with foolishness.

~ You’ll never make any REAL from those DREAMS.

The S-H-E-M-A Gurls encourage you to live each and every one of your dreams. Not to prove that it can be done so others can see, but for YOU to see. You can live your dreams and with much added success to boot.

Oprah Winfrey had a pipe dream, she wanted to have her own syndicated television show. People laughed at her and told it was impossible, but look where she is today! Don’t fool yourself into to thinking a pipe dream dear to your heart is tomfoolery.

We also have a member of S-H-E-M-A, Vyda Harris aka Ms Blue, she is a woman that has decided to live her dreams of becoming a photographer. Blue_Chrome_Photography is her company.  We are proud that she took a leap of faith in herself and like my biz partner always says, “she did the doggon thang”!

Meet her on our next show as we all share feelings and experiences on this topic.

Martin Luther King had a dream. Mahatma Gandhi had a dream. Albert Schweitzer, Abraham Lincoln, Jonas Salk, and Neville Bonner all made a difference.  People we don’t know have made a difference too. You and me, ordinary people have made a difference in this world.  But…

~ What do you dream for?

~ What dream do you make a goal?

~ What dream do you give up on?

~What dream becomes broken?

~ What heartache will we endure by NOT seeking your goals?

Hope to see you all there next Friday,

~ Your S-H-E-M-A Team ~

This blog will serve as discussion, networking and bringing people together through our little community; sharing things that we know and feel passionately about like work, business, social networking, relationships, parenting, daily events and so much more. We hope to get your thoughts on what is important to you, like what you’d like about or share with others. We will also take suggestions and where we need to improve. And through our discussions, we hope to make this the most friendliest and respectable blog on the internet today.

Let me tell you a little bit about how we got started. It was spring of 2006 when The S-H-E-M-A Gurls was started with an idea to always move forth and encourage women to be all they can be. We are also a network that is all about friendship and getting to know one another. Sharing hopes and dreams. Supporting small business and entrepreneurs. Praying together, etc… .

The S-H-E-M-A Gurls name came from an idea I had one day, it simply means – Sexy, Hot, Energetic, Mommas’ Association. My vision was to get together a group of women and help to encourage them to let it all shine through. No matter who you are, what walks of life you come from, no matter your religion and no matter what you are trying to accomplish, there is a rah rah team for you. Nita ( the co- founder of SHEMA)  felt my vision and wanted to immediately spread the word and put things in motion.  Nita came along as an angel to help me put the vision in focus.  Her excellent communicational skills has helped usher The S-H-E-M-A Gurls Network into action.

But it’s not all about the women…per say. Upon creation of the very first group in another networking community we had our very first male join and he was affectionately called an S-E-P which simply means Sexy, Energetic, Poppa…Yes, the men need love to and have it in them to let it shine through. S-E-P’s are very much welcome into the network. In fact we encourage it.

Currently, The S-H-E-M-A Gurls are available on line. We have also started monthly live get together for just the Gurls for a night of dinning, drinking (a lil wine) and some gurls-talk in Detroit and the Sacramento area. We hope to expand and have the S-H-E-M-A Gurls nights out expand across the country. Coming soon we will have our once a year S-H-E-M-A Gurls / S-E-P’s get together and networking events which could possibly be in your town, on a cruise or a beautiful island (ahhhhh).

In closing,  at S-H-E-M-A we believe:  ”A SMILE…Is The Sweetest Emotion”.   Remember to make someone smile today. Our favorite quote by Mya Angelou is this…

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The way you make a person feel will go with them for a life time.  Always know that this blog is not just for the S-H-E-M-A team, it is for all of you. Feel free to stop by, comment and share with us.

Yours truly,

Katrina and Nita
