1st Quarter 2021! You Are Unstoppable!
Good morning Brilliant GEMS!
We are in the final moments of the first quarter of 2021! Who are you really? What are your plans for 2021? Are you pleased with the gifts you’ve shared with your world in 2020? You still have a few days to add value to you and someone else for the first quarter. I challenge you to do something starting today. A friend asked me “What do you do?”
ME:
I empower individuals & organizations to identify, discover, and uncover their “Super Power” then create a plan to execute.
Over the last 20 years, that has been my mission and passion as I coached myself to uncover and execute my maximum potential! My Unstoppable Potential. As I competed with myself and judged myself daily! Crucifying the flesh to unveil and fulfill its maximum potential in every area!
How may I serve you to create a plan and execute in 2021!
Unstoppable Love & Success!

Season of Winter 2021
Michigans Season of Winter has unveiled with its frigid temperature greeting us to seek out comfort and warmth. Comfort from a nice hot cup of cocoa with a cinnamon stick or marshmallows melting inside the cup.
Winter is also a season where things are barren. Barren is where things are often dark, lifeless, and without signs of fruit. The trees are without leaves and appear to be lifeless during the winter season.
Trees are dormant during the winter season and the trees know what temperature causes them to determine when that time is and prepares for that process by losing its leaves and fruit in the fall season which is the harvest time.
There is a Time and a season for everything. Identify the season you’re in and properly prepare during the season for your spring. Winter is a great time for self care.
I have purchased new books and journals to read and enjoy this season that can appear to be lifeless, but inside my mind and my heart I am praying, resting and preparing for my harvest time. This is an annual process to repeat every year.
What are you preparing for during this season of your life. Make sure you rest and spend quality time with yourself, so that you yield your greatest harvest.
Connect with me on the 4th Friday every month for a wonderful Sisters Nite Out, where you will be encouraged and celebrated during your winter season
Unstoppable Favor & Blessings!

Happy Sunday GEMS!
Did you get any extra time back due to the COVID-19 Pandemic? Are you working remote?
Im Praying for You to be Well, Safe and Prosper during this Crisis!
In my world, I’ve been spending time enjoying my youngest family members with FaceTime, learning to cook a few new dishes (I just mastered home made dinner rolls without ruining the yeast) reading, praying, studying my bible, exercising and working remote. My gas in my tank has lasted for two weeks and my tank is not empty yet.
My other positives are - I have intentionally focused on checking on my family, and friends, sharing my resources with others. I love sharing positive messages, resources and giving. I miss hugging (darn social distance) and face to face meetings, coffee dates, huddles and all the other fun sociable things that makes us GEMS feel fabulous.
Im going to start virtual huddles, hugging, coffee/tea talks, Sister Moments, and virtual book empowerment’s. Im hoping a few of you GEMS would like to “Turn Up” a few of these activities with me.

Embracing the Season of Transformation
It’s been one year since Transformation GEMS officially opened the Women’s Entrepreneur Empowerment Center. It’s been the best of times and some tough times all at the same time. However, if I had to do it all again I would with a few minor tweaks. Which brings me to the lessons I’ve learned throughout the Process.
Always start off small - Test the pilot before going big
Know your worth, your value and who you are…know who to take advice from. Make sure it’s someone who is qualified and proven to take you to the next level
When your team appears to grow don’t take it personal when it’s time for some to leave/depart. Everyone will not always be with you, whether it’s due to growth and promotion or because they had a hidden agenda. Remember Jesus was betrayed by one of His teammates (It’s not personal, it’s purpose!)
Don’t get comfortable when everything appears to look great. Keep grinding and persevering
Always remain teachable and stay connected to a mentor who can pull you up
Pray & Meditate Daily, See the Finish line, Become the Vision
Today, my grandson Leon and I had an opportunity to spend some time at a millionaire mentors home. It was a treasure and a gift to sit and listen to so much rich history and story telling. I felt empowered, humbled and prepared to continuously improve and become my highest and best self.
I celebrate you as you become your highest and best self!

The Real You Waiting to Come Out by Duane Portee
My friend Duane wrote this on Facebook this week and I loved the message in the writing so much that I had to share it with you all!
Somewhere deep inside there's the real you waiting to come out.
The real you has been stifled by a relationship, marriage, job, religion, title, your community, or the world.
The real you is true because it is never compromised or conforming.
The real you takes risks, is unyielding in it's resolve and lives life to the fullest.
The real you loves unconditionally without prejudice
The real you doesn't care what others think about its socio-economic condition, the house it lives in, the car it drives or the clothes it wears
The real you is fun to be with and is never alone.
The real you knows what it wants and is content, happy and at peace
The real you is found at that moment just before you drift off to sleep because it's the time when your thoughts are the most free.
The real you is worth finding.
The Real you is worth finding, So Be U! Carmen Thomas

5 Tips for Women Entrepreneurs Who Want to Build Successful Companies
You have the soul of an entrepreneur and the creativity of an artist.
Here are some tips for building a successful company:
Surround yourself with people you admire. The personality of your team will be evident in the company you build. Add negative people to your team and the lifeblood of your company will become tainted with their caustic personalities.
When you encounter tough days, remind yourself why you started your company. Focus on your long-term goal and don’t let yourself become overwhelmed by the day-to-day challenges of entrepreneurship. Even the most successful entrepreneurs have tough days; it’s how you handle your challenges that makes you a stronger leader.
Building a business isn’t about being comfortable. You need to force yourself to take on tasks that challenge you. Each time you successfully complete a task you didn’t think you could do, your confidence in your abilities will grow.
Entrepreneurs who focus on developing a revenue generation plan for their business from the start have a much greater success rate than those who don’t. Too many entrepreneurs have bought into the ‘build something people love’ idea without a clear plan for revenue. A real business generates revenue; anything else is just a hobby.
Don’t let your hustle overtake your health. Many entrepreneurs believe they have to outwork others in order to succeed and do so at the cost of their physical and mental health. Hustling for success is great, but remember to take care of your health too. If you don’t have physical and mental health, the success of your company means nothing.
Building a business is hard work. You will need motivation along the way to keep going. Remember these tips when you find yourself questioning your entrepreneurial path. The rewards are definitely worth the struggle.
