Wow! I’ve been focusing my intentions on the following:
1. New business ideas and business partners
2. New friends that share my passion for abundance
In the last 4 weeks, I’ve been inspired to consider a number of new business ideas. When I share these ideas with people I know, they love it and we end up spending hours planning the business together! These are people that I would enjoy spending time even if we didn’t have a business idea to noodle on.
For example, I had an idea to create a line of clothes that allow people to express their core essence. When God created us in our mother’s womb, He didn’t decide to make us “ordinary”, “plain”, “stupid”, “weak”, etc. I have to believe that the Master Craftsman intended his creation to be “EXTRAORDINARY”, “WONDERFUL”, “POWERFUL”, “ABUNDANT,” etc. Unfortunately, some our childhood experiences may have convinced us that we are less than we were intended to be. Our parents, teachers, mean kids at the playground, and other people may have caused us to forget how special we are.
So, this new line of clothes would allow people to reclaim their original “labels” and express it to the themselves and the world!
I shared this idea with a friend (Rich German) and he loved it! He asked to partner up with me on it and I said “Yes!” I’ve also met an artist who is helping with the designs, a marketing guru who used to work for a global clothing retailer, the owner of a silk-screening company, and a number of other people who have been wildly enthusiastic about the venture! A number of fashionable women and girls have taught me words like “scoop neck collar” and “cap sleeves”. I had know idea t-shirts could be so complicated!
So, I’m excited to be in this flow of Abundance in relationships. A although I’m very excited about the business, it’s not about the business. I’m really enjoying spending time creating with these people. Together, we’re breathing life into this idea to create products and a business!
By the way, our intention is to donate up to 50% of the profit to charity. Our first area of focus is orphans in Africa. I discovered that a friend is quitting her job to volunteer at an orphanage in South Africa at the end of December. Her commitment is inspiring me launch our product NOW and start contributing to her cause. Won’t you join me?
Here’s how you can help:
1. Send me your ideas! Based on what I’ve described at a high level, what images come to mind for the clothes. I deliberately didn’t describe the clothes in detail because I’m open to new ideas and didn’t want to bias you. I’ll post pictures of the shirts in the next few weeks once I get them.
2. Consider purchasing shirts for yourself, friends, and family. The holidays are upon us and they will make great gifts. Trust me on this one! Whoever gets a shirt will really like it!
