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.”

WISDOM: Sponsored by www.Twitter.com/Encouragement4u Want to sponsor?

I'm writing a guest blog for www.thetoiletpaperentrepreneur.com and my question is if you had to encourage a college entrepreneur with one word what would it be and why?

If you had to choose one word that would best describe you what would it be and why?

If you can narrow any of these questions down to one word you have just participated in a life focus exercise. The word focus backwards is sucof. It doesn’t look right and if you say it, definitely won't sound right. Now think about how your life looks and how your life sounds when you have no focus.
