On Monday, Jeff and I was joined by Businesswoman Extraordinaire Lorraine Ball of Roundpeg.   The initial intent of the show was to discuss small business strategies in a down economy. However, with her wealth of knowledge, Lorraine provided us with several golden nuggets ranging from surrounding yourself with the right people, to focusing on a niche to grow from. Below is a sampling of what Lorraine graciously shared with Jeff & I.

• Define your niche.
• Define your target market. Determine who are the best clients for your business.
• Continue to spend and invest in your company. You may have to make adjustments but continue to invest.
• Be prepared when the economy turns around.
• Look at priorities. Separate the nice to dos from the must to dos.

Today Victoria and Jeff was joined by Author, Motivator, Divine Inspirational Speaker, Dr. CJ Koen.  Today’s scripture is: “For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the LORD,” plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

We had a blessed wonderful time today with Ms CJ Koen on BlogTalkRadio,  Below are a few nuggets from today’s show.

• Prosperity  is not your economic situation but your heart situation.
• God wants us to prosper.
• God does not give us spirit of fear, but of power, love , and of sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
• God knows what is coming down the road.
• When God gives you something he gives you peace with it. (Psalm 29:11)
• God knows what is best for us. People want to buy a home, but may not be financially, or emotionally ready to purchase that home.
• Seek God’s wisdom before making major decisions.
• God wants us to have plenty of  joy.
