7.4 This is Your Sign to Start Delegating

7.4 This is Your Sign to Start Delegating

It's so easy to be busy but much harder to be productive. In my experience, part of the problem is that instead of delegating certain tasks, we take everything on and get very little accomplished. But what if we flipped the script and decided to only focus on tasks that propel us forward in our purpose?

This is NOT a rallying cry to dump out all your laundry on the floor and yell "GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT!" But it is a call to be more intentional and consider ho sowme of the tasks on your docket ended up on there to begin with.

If you're ready to operate more purposefully tune into today's episode friend.

6.1 Dream a New Dream

6.1 Dream a New Dream

Welcome back to Season 6 of the Black Girls With Purpose Podcast! On today's episode we're kicking off the season with an explanation of why dreaming new dreams and going through different seasons of life is important. It can be extremely easy to go with the flow and just coast from one thing to the next but we ought to be intentional about pushing the limits in life if we're truly aiming to be a woman of purpose. 

Dreaming can feel scary because eventually you have to get up and do the work to fulfill your dreams. Dreams also come with new levels of responsibility. But the work is worth it. 

Scripture to remember: "And I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
