What Do you Do when Life hands You A Devastating Diagnosis?:

L.J. Holloway was asked this question and she fought back. LJ fought for her life and lives each day to give you a testimony that you should fight for yours. You can buy LJ’s book or audio CD by going to http://www.ljholloway.info or email her at lj@ljholloway.info for insight about how to transform life before life transforms you.

$23 an Hour:

I called a company back this week to let them know that I would not be interviewing for their position. The representative was in shock as she said “you going to turn down a position making $23 an hour.”

We position ourselves out of the game when we only focus on the hour. Take the number you make an hour and times that by 10. That is a number we should strive to make an hour. Now multiply that number by 8 and that is your daily rate. Multiply that number by 5 and that is your weekly rate. Multiply that number by 52 and that will give you a yearly rate.

Congratulations If you are making this amount already. If not, use this as a guide for what you can accomplish.

About WOE Enterprise

A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.

One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper.As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.

“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”

Derrick Hayes, President - WOE Enterprises
