Do you want to know what it takes to create a purpose led brand? Sisters Keyondra Lockett and Kimberly Lockett share their experience of transitioning from #1 Billboard Artist and Celebrity Stylist, respectively to now the owners of the clothing brand Jolie Noire. They share how representation was so important to them in fashion that it was the catalyst behind the brand. 

The idea behind the brand/statement Jolie Noire, is that black is beautiful. Jolie Noire stands for Pretty Black in French. We are primed to think dark colors (specifically black) are negative and light colors are positive. In an effort to level the playing field, we're working to shape the minds of onlookers and change the meaning, emotions, and values associated with black. Color is something that doesn't come pre labeled, we label it... At Jolie Noire we choose to believe that black, like other colors, is beautiful! 

Their leading scripture is:

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. -Psalm 139:14

One question that I get asked often is "Is it okay for Christians to profit from their purpose?" And the short answer is absolutely yes! But of course my challenge is convincing Christians to dispel the belief that Christians cannot be financially successful. In this episode I address 3 mindset blocks that are keeping Christian entrepreneurs from succeeding in their business and counteract that with 3 mindset changes you can use to help you flourish in business as a Christian entrepreneur.

First we set the stage with this mantra developed from the definition of 'purpose' and 'profit':

The reason why you do what you do is to have an advantageous gain to benefit the kingdom.

We are in SZN 2!! This season we are going beyond our povot to exploring how we can turn our purpose into profit. So last season we talked about how we can Pivot into Purpose which ended with the Pushed Into Purpose Summit that addressed how we pivot in our faith, relationship, careers, business and mindset. It was amazzzinng!!! If you missed it no worries it is still available by checking out the link below.

On this episode I give a brief summary about the summit and then answer the question...now what?? Now you've made that pivot we are in the season of executing and seeing exactly how our purpose can benefit the kingdom by benefiting others and ourselves.

Listen to how I do a case analysis on Jesus' last days on earth and how he carried out his purpose on purpose! When it is your time to execute do it with the right strategy and intentionality. Many times we just want to move ahead with no guidance and no strategy. And while yes this will get you going it won't really keep you going. So what is your action plan? I formed what I term 'Jesus' 10 part strategy' to help you move into your new season. Which steps will you implement right away?

I thought it was appropriate to do a rewind of this episode as we come to the end of the first quarter of 2021. Research shows that 80% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by mid February. I want to do a pulse check with you to ensure we are at the stage of achieving our goals versus planning our goals. I address 3 steps to ensure we are goal achievers:

1. Create your purpose statement

2. Take small steps in executing your goals

3. Create boundaries around your goals

What do you do when your marriage falls apart, you're unfulfilled in your career and you and your business partner (who is also your twin sister) fall out? On this episode we hear how this is Judy Weber's story to success that was equally meshed with stories of disappointments and heartaches. She walks us through how she had to make the most difficult career and life pivots while staying true to who she was in Christ.

Continuing in our series of Pivot into Purpose, on this episode I am talking with Pastor Candice Lambe about how we can Pivot in our Prayer life when we get taken off track and blind sided. We make pivots in so many areas of our life without recognising that we can and need to make pivots in our prayer life.

This discussion was so good that this is a two part episode. Pastor Candice gives godly direction starting out with what prayer is, where to start on our prayer journey and how to go deeper in our prayer life. There is no conversation more important than the one you have with God.
