#BusinessCommandments by Steve Canal


Twitter can be very inspiring, at times. Last night I came across one of my good friend's, Steve Canal, tweets on what he considers the "Business Commandments." I totally agreed and thought they were #Juice worthy! He concluded them with saying, "I hope my #BusinessCommandments can help someone make a better business decision this week!"

Business Commandments:
1. Know your value. Don't sell yourself short.
2. Study your craft and master it. Understand all angles.
3. Innovation, innovation and more innovation!
4. Listen to the people who buy your products or services.
5. Invest back into your brand.
6. Don't guess your scope of work from a client. Understand their needs.
7. Study your competition and their moves.
8. Usually if you're quiet at a business meeting, it's usually because you don't understand what's going on. #NoValue
9. Support your community.
10. Less is more. Get to the point. #NoFluff
11. Stay in your lane.
12. Deliver on your promises. Do what you say and say what you do!
13. Take vacations and encourage employees to do the same.
14. Timing and luck is everything.

I believe in every one of these "Business Commandments." Honestly, all of these are essential to how you should conduct your business to improve your company's value and worth and to beat out your competition. I call it good "Business Etiquette."  Steve, I believe you should go ahead and become a published author. I'd buy this book for sure. Follow Steve on twitter at @SteveCanal.

Sidebar: Ladies, Steve is a very attractive, tall, successful, and respectful business man! I'm not absolutely sure what his formal title is for Miller Coors, but I do know that he's running things. Last time I checked, he was still single. Shouts out to you Steve, much respect! ;-)

Who's Ready for Single Ladies on VH1?

This show, Single Ladies, is definitely one of my guilty pleasures and it seems as though it may be even better than season 1 with the absence of the show's premiering star, Stacey Dash. Replacing her is the beautiful All My Children actress and longtime model, Denise Vasi. This chick is gorgeous! I absolutely love this show from the being able to relate to the fun of being single, dating, on down to the fashions. My DVR will be set faithfully and I can't wait until the Season 2 premiere party!

Some guest star appearances in season 2 are T.I., Romeo Miller, La La Anthony, Pilar Sanders, and Ricky Whittle to name a few. This is one very attractive cast, I must say. I have a few names in my head I would like to see make guest appearances.

Check out some behind the scene photos from on set of Single Ladies!










The show is scheduled to premiere some time in May. My popcorn and glass of wine will be ready! lol...

Put God in Remembrance of His Promise!

Isaiah 62:6 - "Put God in remembrance of His promise." - Pray the prayer, not the problem!

Remind God what He said. It's one of the most powerful ways to pray. Find the promise in scripture and remind God what He said about you. When you can say "God you said" all of heaven will stand at attention because God is faithful to His own word!

Sometimes, we use prayer as an excuse to complain about problems in our lives. Work, gas prices, our children, etc. You don't have to tell God your problems. He already knows what you are going through. Yes be open and honest, but don't turn it into a self pitty session. If you want to see change and see your situation turn around, find a promise you can stand on in scripture and go to God with His promise. "Gas prices are high, but God you said you will supply all of my needs and the people at work are getting on my nerves, but God you said you will fight all of my battles. God you said you would restore health upon me and heal my wounds. God, you said ALL things will work together for my good."

Pray the promise instead of the problems and it will change your situation from being the victim to the victor. God will dispatch His angels into motion when He hears His word coming from your mouth. Get into the habit of saying "God you said" and you will see the results in your life. Keep not silent and give Him no rest until it comes to pass! Be persistent and in faith go to God and remind Him over and over what He promised you! Present your case to God, bring forth your argument minus your own feelings and show your proof in the word. Jesus is our advocate!

Talking about the problems won't change the situation, but proper prayer changes things and it also changes you.

Inspired by teachings from Joel Olsteen Ministries.
