10 Bible Verses Every Small Business Owner Needs.....

Hey Guys!!!

2day I was doing some reading and came across this article that I wanted to share with you all---Please use these daily verses to get you this current economy...

2day I was reading articles on small businesses and came across this article that I wanted to share with you all-----2 all my business owners: KEEP THE FAITH!!! KEEP PUSHING!!!

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Learn something every day. If you only lean on your own knowledge in your business, you will not be able to grow. You must grow yourself to grow your business

2. “Behold, I am doing something new! It’s already happening; don’t you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land.” Isaiah 43:19 (GOD’S WORD® Translation) Sometimes your business will need to move as the market pulls you in a different direction. You might need to reinvent your business, and you should not be afraid. God’s always got your back.

3.”Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 (NIV) One of the most important things you can do for your business is to pray every day.

4. “Faith without works is dead.” James 2:26 (KJV) You can’t just pray for success. Develop a plan and work your plan. If you can do something about your situation, then do it. Stop making excuses, stop procrastinating, and do it!

5. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV) There will be contracts that you really need that you will not win. There will be days when you drop the ball on your customer service, but you can not let that define you or your business. You will get another opportunity and even if you don’t, God is with you always.

6. “As I think in my heart, so am I.” Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) Your thoughts can be your number #1 asset or your biggest liability. When you are alone in your office or back bedroom, your thoughts can easily turn on you. Your ability to stay positive, learn from all experiences and shake off mistakes quickly will be a big asset to you and your business.

7. “God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) Making decisions in your small business based on fear is never helpful. For that matter making decisions in anger is not good either. Try hard not to be reactionary with clients, vendors or employees. Use factual information and up-to date financials to make sound business decisions.

8. “But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3 (TLB) You need to understand that God’s time is not your time. There may come a time in your business when you just know you have a contract, one that you really need and things fall through. Those are the times when you need to trust in the Lord the most. When we accept God’s timing, we can learn to live in hope and enjoy our lives while God is working on our problems.

9. “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;” Proverbs 3:13 (NIV) You need to be a life long learner in order to be successful in business. You should constantly seek to improve yourself and increase your knowledge about the business of running a business.

10. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV) This is my new bible verse for 2010. It came to me watching a college football game. I believe I was only watching the game to see it.

TOP 25 WARDROBE STYLIST....

I love what I do and as I strive to continue to grow, here are some other people who are taking things to the next level....PS. I also think that Rachel Johnson should be added to the list because she has defiantly made her mark styling superstar athletes.

Styles: LeBron and Chris Bosh

Why shes powerful: Because she's set the tone in the sports arena and everyone that shes styles looks effortless

(the list below is Ginsberg’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood)

1. Rachel Zoe

Styles: Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz

Why She’s Powerful: Duh. She’s made a multi-million dollar business out of dressing people up.

2. Kate Young
Styles: Natalie Portman
Why She’s Powerful: Young brings cool to the red carpet. Plus, she’s dressing who is currently the most celebrated actress in the world.

3. Petra Flannery
Styles: Zoe Saldana, Emma Stone
Why She’s Powerful: The red carpet is all about ingenues right now, and neither of these ladies has made a blunder.

4. Jen Rade
Styles: Angelina Jolie, Pink, Cher, Jenna Fischer
Why She’s Powerful: Not only has Rade styled some of the biggest stars in the world, she’s also the consummate professional. People like working with her.

5. Anna Bingeman
Styles: Claire Danes, Naomi Watts, Gwyneth Paltrow
Why She’s Powerful: Bingeman gives slick blonds the kick they need: Whether that’s Danes in a shocking pink Calvin Klein or Paltrow in a mini.

6. Cristina Ehrlich
Styles: Julianna Margulies, Kyra Sedgwick, Amy Adams, Penelope Cruz
Why She’s Powerful: Ehrlich’s look is a mix of old Hollywood glamor and utter modernity.

7. Deborah Waknin
Styles: Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock
Why She’s Powerful: The women are photographed constantly, so they have to work with someone they really trust.

8. Elizabeth Stewart
Styles: Cate Blanchett, Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Lawrence
Why She’s Powerful: Stewart’s been around for a long time, and she knows how to style different types of women and bodies.

9. Leslie Fremar
Styles: Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Charlize Theron
Why She’s Powerful: Her fashion industry connections mean that Fremar’s girls always wear the hottest designers.

10. Jeanne Yang
Styles: Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Melissa Leo, Christian Bale
Why She’s Powerful: She styles Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

11. Leith Clark
Styles: Michelle Williams, Keira Knightly
Why She’s Powerful: The Lula editor isn’t as well known for red carpet work as she is for her editorial and commercial spreads. But when you’re dressing two of the most important actresses of their generation, who needs more clients?

12. Estee Stanley
Styles: Jessica Biel, Lea Michelle, the Olsen Twins (well, at least she used to style the Olsen Twins)
Why She’s Powerful: Stanley thinks editorially when she dresses her clients. Lea Michelle is a princess, so she dresses her like a princess. Biel is powerful, so she puts her sexy Versace.

13. L’Wren Scott
Styles: Nicole Kidman
Why She’s Powerful: The stylist-turned-designer’s collection of dresses is beloved by her clients, and the clients of other stylists.

14. Jessica Paster
Styles: Annette Bening, Emily Blunt
Why She’s Powerful: Who doesn’t want to be either of those ladies? Case closed.

15. Rob Zangardi & Mariel Haenn
Styles: Willow Smith, Rihanna, Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Lopez
Why They’re Powerful: This roster is wayyyy intimidating.

16. Maryann Malakpour
Styles: Heidi Klum, Courtney Cox, The Rolling Stones
Why She’s Powerful: Um, because she beat out L’Wren Scott as the stylist to The Rolling Stones?

17. Tanya Gill
Styles: Hillary Swank, Jane Fonda, (formerly) Kate Winslet
Why She’s Powerful: These red carpet regulars get plenty of exposure.

18. Tiina Laakonen
Styles: Carey Mulligan
Why She’s Powerful: Because Carey Mulligan is IT right now.

19. George Kotsiopoulos
Styles: Katy Perry, Kerry Washington, Kathryn Bigelow, Kristen Stewart
Why He’s Powerful: Kotsiopoulos has certainly dressed a unique mix of women.

20. Nicole Chavez
Styles: Rachel Bilson, Kristen Bell, Katherine Heigl, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Scarlett Johansson
Why She’s Powerful: Chavez deserves to be further up on this list. Not only does she dress some of the biggest stars in the world, she’s responsible for catapulting Bilson into the fashion stratosphere.

21. Annabel Tollman
Styles: Jessica Simpson, Cynthia Nixon, (formerly) ScarJo
Why She’s Powerful: She does a ton of work outside of the red carpet, and made ScarJo the sex bomb that she is.

22. Brad Goreski
Styles: Jessica Alba
Why He’s Powerful: Because he’s Brad! Also, because he’s incredibly talented.

23. June Ambrose
Styles: Diddy, Jay Z, Mariah Carey
Why She’s Powerful: Diddy, Jay Z, Mariah Carey

24. Samantha McMillen
Styles: Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfieffer
Why She’s Powerful: She styles powerful actors.

25. Simone Harouche
Styles: Nicole Richie, Miley Cyrus, Christinia Aguilera
Why She’s Powerful: Richie went to Harouche after splitting from Zoe.
