Winning Like A Boss

Well, you've been asking for it and now I am ready to give it to you. Yes, I am putting pen to paper. I am writing my first book. It will come out in e-book format at least initially. The subject matter will be the very things I have been speaking on, which is, Business, doing business, maintaining a business. It will be geared toward female entrepreneurs, although, men can benefit too.

The title is Winning Like A Boss. catchy, isn't it. In it I will lay out my recipe for starting and maintaining your own business. Your passion/purpose will be discussed as well changing your mindset and the path ahead.

This is not a book to teach any shortcuts since they really do not exist. Instead, it will be a common sense approach that you will hopefully return to at various stages in your business progression and maintenance.

It will take through the preparation stage to the launch and beyond. I hope you will enjoy it, learn from it, and use it often.

I expect to have it completed by the end of March with the release shortly thereafter. You can keep up with it as well as other goodies by following my Blog, WinningLikeABoss.com In addition, look for a show with the same title to join the WDGP Radio format.

To God, be the Glory!

Taking Time Out.

Great things are happening. Thank you Jesus!! I am so so busy, I don't even have time to be tired. I have to ride this momentum. I am so close to my goals...I can just about touch it with my fingertips...  No matter what is happening or what task I need to be completing, I MUST stop, I Will stop and give my thanks and my praise to my Father God. I'm so glad you decided to claim me. Once I really understood our relationship, that's when You showed up and showed out in my life. I am so thankful and unworthy of your grace and mercy, but I promise I will continue to allow Your way in my life. I know your vision is 200 times bigger than mine and I will trust you in all things. Your Loving Daughter, In Jesus Name, Amen

God is truly amazing. If you had asked me 5 years ago what I’d be doing now, I would have never said, Owning and programming an Internet Radio Station, being an Affiliate Marketer, a Travel Agent, and a Nurse. I really thought my nursing days were behind me (39 yrs is long enough, right?) but God led me to my current position where I am appreciated. I was told by my DON that she wants me to be happy there so I’ll stay awhile, isn’t that the best? Although Nursing is my first job and I will always love it, Music is my passion. It’s been that way since I was a young child.

I would always save my allowance to buy music. I would dance and sing along in our living room. Those were happy times. I even thought of myself as a singer, especially since I recorded myself singing one of my favorite songs by Natalie Cole. Everyone was so surprised by my voice, some even doubted it was really me. However, I had terrible stage fright and it wasn’t until I was a grown woman that I tackled and conquered that fear. Now I mostly sing for myself, although I was in a play that required me to sing which was pretty well received.

I still enjoy great music, regardless of genre. I love great music with wonderful lyrics, that’s the best to me. WDGP allows me to continue to immerse myself in great music. Not that great music we hear on FM radio, there is so much more variety than that and so many talented Indie Artists. God has blessed me to be in a position to grant them a platform to display those talents and in addition, a platform for the Children of Children’s World Of Music (CWOM) to display their talents when CWOM is fully operational.

We were functioning on a limited basis with piano, voice and drama in a co-operative situation, but lost the space. We of course don’t know the meaning of “giving up” so we are building funds to get a space conductive t our goals for CWOM and this is where you can help. It’s coming to the end of the year and you need to get yourselves some tax deductions, why not let us be one. We will happily accept your donations either directly (info found at our website http://childrensworldofmusic.org/) or our crowd funding page http://crowdrise.com/childrensworld... either way, we will provide donation documentation.

Once we have a space, we will then need instructors, instruments, computers, recording equipment and more so we can remain your cause for a long time. To find out what we are all about, visit out website,  http://childrensworldofmusic.org/ You can contact me at dianabroomfield@childrensworldofmusic.org if you’re interested in donating time or equipment as well.

Over the years I have met some amazing human beings who have enriched me beyond measure. These are folks who are and are not a part of the music scene but have great insight into business (which includes music) specifically, and Life in general. I have learn much and been reinforced greatly and I am appreciative and love them all. I do realize that I will continue to meet more people that will continue to impact who I am and I welcome that. God always sends us who and what we need to continue the journey to His plan for us. I don’t know about you, but I am enjoying the journey. So here’s to the next 5 years and beyond! I hope you travel it with me.

You Can Help

 I am stuck.  I know what I am it to do, however, I am not seeing a way to get it done.  I need money to do what I want to do, if I take the time to do what I want and need to do, I cannot work in the traditional sense.  If I continue to work, I won’t be able to do what I want and need to do to reach my goals for Children’s World of Music (CWOM). Still I must find a way to work to maintain my lifestyle and build this vision. It will take the entire village.

I know I trust God, I know he got me, I know he did not bring me this far to fail me.  I know I have to step out one faith. To that end, I have resigned my current job, trusting I will get something closer to home that will allow me to continue build the foundation for CWOM. I believe that this will be successful because it is what I was called to do it is something I know I will enjoy doing and it will keep me spiritual satisfied and grateful to be of use in a positive manner.

It is my hope, that anyone I have shown a kindness, provided a service, assisted in any way, will remember me and assist me in Children’s World of Music.  CWOM really needs everyone’s help not just in assisting but in helping get the word out about Children’s World of Music.

In addition to financial donations, we are in need of a place to provide service, instructors of various instruments, dance instructors, clerical assistance, grant writers to assist us in obtaining grants, computers and computer software to assist in audio and film production, vocal coaches, reading coaches and much more.

If you have a skill set we need please contact us via phone 301-358-3801 or email dianabroomfield@childrensworldofmusic.org For donations go to our website, http://childrensworldofmusic.org where you can donation info, or go to our crowd funding page http://crowdrise.com/childrensworldofmusi

Please remember it’s all for our Children. If we don’t do it, who will? Help us make their world beautiful one note at a time. 

Faith

When I was younger, it was nothing to just move by faith. As I aged it became harder to do, even though I had faith, I just didn't do somethings. Even though I spoke faith, there seem an invisible barrier to acting on that faith.  For the last year, I seemed t be stuck. Knowing what I needed to do, knowing God got me, knowing He has never let me down, I was...stuck..

The Father was constantly showing me that I was somewhere I didn't need to be. Projects I tried to initiate, never got off the ground. I had always gone to my J-O-B and  then come home and worked on goals but in the last six months or so I had no energy to work my goals. It was all I could do to make it home feeling exhausted. I begin to pray and ask God for guidance.


One day I was setting in a meeting feeling like I was 10 years old being chastised for an imagined wrong doing. It was at that moment I heard Him say "How much more do I need to show you? It's time to move daughter." clear as a bell. I decided right then that I had had enough of working in that hostile, prejudice, controlling environment.
By the time I had gotten home, I had convinced myself to not go back. I called out the next day and got a call from a co-worker I respect. She told me she had put her resignation in. I told her I wasn't coming back. She understood my feeling but gently encouraged me to give them notice. I thought on it, prayed about it and returned to work the next day and gave two weeks notice. It was official. Once again I would step out on my faith and trust God completely. I felt mo fear, just confidence that I was doing the right thing.


"If what is ahead scares you, and what is behind hurts you, just look above. He never fails to help you"

The little money I had quickly began to disappear, but do you know that when God says move, and you do, He takes care of everything. I was talking with a friend who asked me if I had applied for unemployment benefits. I told her I had not because I wasn't sure I qualified. She asked what reason I gave for leaving my J-O-B I told her and she said that when she done the same thing for the same reason she got benefits. She encouraged me a couple of more days and I did apply for my benefit. I got a letter a couple f days later informing me that there would be a hearing to see if I was truly eligible for benefits. The date was a whole month away. I continued looking for part time work as I had been even months before I decided to leave the J-O-B. I was praying that I'd have something in place before the hearing but this was not to be. The hearing was held and even though the decision was not made that day, I knew in my heart that I would be denied, yet I did not panic. As I stated before I was never even considering filing until my friend convinced me to give it a shot so I was out nothing. 

In between the job seeking, I worked on the radio station website and Children's World of Music (CWOM). I got a lot done, I seemed revitalized, empowered. I was getting it all done and spending quality time with my grandchildren.

It took me took me almost 3 months to find the part time work I was seeking but in that time, despite the fact that I was out of money 3 weeks after I left that J-O-B, I paid 2 bills 1 week late. There is no way I would have been able to maintain my household if it were no for God's grace and mercy. I thank him everyday throughout each day. I will continue this faith walk even when I can not see the path. I know God got me. I will move when he says so.

If you would like t assist me in reaching my financial goal for CWOM go here  Thank you

Struggles

What is much harder than a developing a dream is to get others to see your vision and believe in it as you do. This is my predicament  now. I have the dream in my soul, I have done what was necessary to make Children's World of Music become a real thing, a non profit. Yes we are a 501(c)3, we are all incorporated, we have bylaws. We have a board of Directors. We have Officers. What we don;t have are funds; funds to secure a building, funds to purchase or rent instruments, funds to pay instructors, funds to buy equipment to record, funds to do fundraiser events. We need funds. We need people, organizations, businesses and all to see the vision, feel the vision, be the change, help us.

We want to be the safe place. The place children can come to express their talents and individuality. Where they don't have to worry about peer pressure. Where they can get tools they will use for the rest of their lives. Where they can learn to play music, write music, dance, perform, record and more.

We want to help them take the correct paths instead of following the wrong paths into delinquency, crime and/or drugs, We to awaken that thing in them that will propel them towards the moon so they land in the stars. We want to help them excel in academics (music aids in math and science) awaken their imaginations, make the impossible possible, but we can't do it alone, we need you, and you and you to help us make a difference.

Please help with your time, your talent, used instruments, and/ or your money. We need you, the Children need you, the future needs you. Please visit our crowd funding page, if you can't contribute (and there is no amount too small), help by sharing our page and our message on all your social media. Use our link as your email signature. Use your imagination and ideas to help us reach our goals. Time is of the essence, please help today. If you are a business entity or organization looking for a non profit to sponsor, we are here. Visit our webisite  Children's World of Music.org to find out more about us. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
