From losing your job to owning a business

Shaquanda Stephenson · Thursday, October 22nd 2009 at 2:22AM · 214 views
Hey everybody! My name is Shaquanda and 2 years ago I was laid off from my government job. I found a job right after that, but was terminated only 2 weeks before I would be permanent. In the time since then, I had not been able to find a decent job and became discouraged and stopped looking. Finally accepting a call to work for myself, I have started a graphic company called Angel Prints and I sell nutritional products and reshaper garments that help change peopel's lives. Now I am adding Author to my belt. My book, 2 years in the making is finally goin to hit the open market this month! I am so excited.

I'm telling my brief story just to be an encouragement to others that may be in similiar situations. God can take that talent you have and blossom it into your overflow! Let's not limit Him. I know that it looks dim sometimes and emotions are running high because it gets to be kind of scary at times. But remember, God is the GREATEST POWER and we shall not be defeated! Only if you know God is saying to step out on Faith and start your own...then go for it. It's not everyone's season for that, but there are those of us that He has called to be entrepreneurs. For me it's now or never! Remember also, God RESPONDS TO YOUR FAITH...the quicker your Faith moves, the quicker He moves! *Selah*

Until next time, stay encouraged and rise everyday with a spirit of expectation!

Tune in for my next blog that will highlight ways to make REAL money online...no gimmicks, no get rich quick schemes...just stuff I've tried for myself to make an honest living!

Blessings
Shaquanda
