The Universe has called me back to doing African Holistic Healing work with a dear cousin who has diabetes. My intentions was to focus time and energy on helping Divas bring their finances in balance.

I have chosen to not institute African Holistic Practices until 2008 when I will begin the writing of “Dynamic Diva Diet”. But like you are well aware, Divine intention is all that matters. So, I understand when I am being “called” to give some time to work with the “Healthy Diva” in us all.

Diabetes is affecting so many black women in particular all all women in general. I know that diabetes is a key component of not enough “sweetness” in someones life. A Diabetic needs more love -like the old folks use to say more “sugar” in their lifes first and foremost.

My Diabetic Diva, cousin, is in the mist of losing her toe. Her mother has lost her leg. The Diabetic Diva has been on presciption medication for all of the 25 years since she was diagnosed with diabetes. With no relief in sight, she has chosen to incorporate African holistic healing modalities to help her with her diabetes.

I have chosen to share with you some of the educational information that my help you,your friend or love one bring to balance diabetes. Here are some African Holistic remedies that the Diabetic Diva is using:

Spiritual

She is chosing to love herself and love the di-ease within her body away. She prays, reads empowering literature and watch DVDs that make her laugh with joy. She is honoring the Diva within. She is eliminating all negative people, places, things and habits from her life.

Physically

She is detoxifying the body-ridding the body of toxic materials.  She has stop the SAD diet-Standard American Diet. SAD consist of processed foods like bottled, boxed, can and frozen foods-foods that have been cooked.

 She is taking natural supplement:vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs and is on a raw food diet. She is exercising with a chi machine. She is working in her yard connecting with Momma Nature, by putting her feet in the soil, breathing fresh air and baking in the Sun. She is taking herbal foot baths to bring more circulation to the feet. She is using poultices on the toe to stabalize the gangrene infection.

Mentally

She is keeping a very upbeat positive atitude by affirming that she can heal herself. Her body is well. She is taking a proactice and empowering to will her body back to life

How is she doing so far? She is doing very well. She has feeling in the gangrene toe. She has more energy and she is experiencing healing signals. This is a good sign that the body is coming back to life.

The moral of the Diabetic Diva Story for you is this.  If you want your diabetic life to change, you are going to have to make drastic changes. Seek out alternative, holistic sources that may educated and lead you to the road of health if your present way of healing is not working for you. You do have a choice.

I know that for every dis-ease God had given us a cure. It is our responsiblity to find the cure that works for each of us.

What is your recommendation for diabetes? Please share, we need to heal the Diabetic Diva.

Wishing you the best of health, wealth and wisdom,

Elon
 

Yes, I have come up with a great idea to show how you can see step-by-step a real live Diva going through the process of becoming a millionaire. One of my mentees, Shownna, has agreed to blog her experience.

This is going to be so much fun and a great opportunity for you to grasp a real understand of how someone can successfully climb the path to becoming a millionaire. You will be able to witness the trails and tribulations of the process.

This is like a reality blog. You will be able to tune in on a weekly basis to chart her experiences and you can give your comments and support.  We will add audio and video to make it real personal..

Additionally, I am going to create a reality blog for me titled, “Options Diva Diary”. I am learning a new skill of doing options to create residual income for myself. I am hoping to encourage more Divas to look to options trading to make a good $2000 dollars per month of extra income.

This is great for stay-at-home moms and work-at-home moms who want to make some extra income with very little time involved. It’s another source of income that women can hone to help pay for their kids college education or enhance retirement plan. The best part about this investment vehicle is that you do not have to invest a lot of money to get started but you can generate a high return for your investment.

Can you invest $250.00? The $250.00 dollars has the potential to increase 5X in a matter of months. Imagine investing $250.00 and within a couple of month have an extra $1000.00 in your investment account. That’s a whopping 25% ROI!

Stay tune…I will keep you abreast of when these reality blogs will be up and running.

If you have any comments, please post them here.

Some one called me wanting to know about The Dynamic Diva and what do we do. In essence, they were asking for my “why” or purpose. The Dynamic Diva was created to inspire women to become more healthy, wealthy and wise. My purpose is this lifetime is to empower women to heal themselves, to encourage them to be “happy” and at peace with themselves. In turn, I am healed. I am happy. I am at peace. If all Divas would prescribe to this way of life, we will have a more complete. whole and balanced world.  This is why I am doing this business-to create a better world for women. My “why” is what inspires me to get up every morning at 3am to do the work.  

I was talking with one of my Dynamic Diva Millionaire mentee and she was tell me about what her husband wants, what her kids want and what her momma wants, but she has yet to tell me what she wants. Just like a sister. She takes care of everybody else and neglects her dreams, purpose and desires.

She wants to start a new business venture. I encouraged her to find her “why”-her purpose for doing the business. This is very important. Her “why” will keep her inspired when she is faced with the challenges the business will create for her. But, if she is knows her purpose and is on purpose, she will remain fixed and focused no matter what comes her why.

So, I am having her fill out the Dynamic Diva Dream Plan. This will help her determine her “why”. And by her putting it down on paper, she will have brought to life the why and it will inspire her at all times. By doing this act, she will increase her chances of success significantly.

If you on in business-the business of taking care of your family,your life and you career, you must determine what your why is if you haven’t already. It is your purpose that will protect you when trails come your way.

What is your “why”? And why are you here? Please share.

Have a Dynamic Diva Day,

Elon

Yes, Divas you are right, another business? Presently, I am running 5 e-business websites, running a family, running a real estate company, publishing company and now I invested in a great network marketing business called Ignite Inc. They sell Stream Energy.

You might be thinking am I asking for abuse here. No, this business is truly going to be on of the easiest businesses to market and sell. This is the best soft sell business I have every been in. I sell a dream and the dream teaching you to save and make money turning on your lights.

I had no intention of joining the business. My motivation was to save money on my energy bill. I am in the business of being very frugal. I am always look for ways to keep money in my pocket so that I can save it or invest it. By using Stream Energy I save a whopping $145.00 per month! That is 1,740.00 per year on my electricity bill!! I was sold.

What stay-at-home mom or work-at-home mom would not like to put $145.00 per month back into her pocket. If you invest the $145 each month into an investment for your child who is 1 years old today, that yields 12% ROI, you child will become a 1 million dollars at 65. This is much better than making your present energy company richer. Now you can make your child rich. Hello, Stream Energy!

That’s right, you heard me. Imagine owning your own energy company-sought of. Ignite network marketers make money selling electricity to their love ones, friends, associate and any one who would like to save money and make money from their electricity. And teach them to do the same. That’s it, you are done.

Imagine the residual income potential making money off of hundreds and thousands of Texans who can not live without electricity. The air conditioning system is a major necessity in this state that can get very hot.

Oh, I forgot to mention my main motivation. I am always look for a great company for women to do so that they can stay-at-home with the family and make a substantial amount of money with very little start-up. Ignite fits the bill. You can invest in the company for $329. When you sign up your electrical service and an electrical service of a friend and purchase, your only overhead for the  business, a monthly fee for the website to run your business,you get a check for $300.00 for the month of March! In about a week, you practically make 100% return on your investment!

It easy to run-time wise! You tell a friend via email they sign up and you get paid each month on their electicity bill. You do not have to resell them month after month. It is done the first time. Divas. can you see the vision. You do not have to sell vitamins, insurance ,phone cards and other products people do not need. But you and I, in Texas, no-matter-what will pay our energy bill!

If you want to learn more go to thedynamicdiva.igniteinc.com. I’d love to have you invest with me and we can have fun raising our family and making good money!

Have a Dynamic Diva Dollar Day,

Elon

Ignite and Stream Energy is doing business in texas only. If you are out of state  you can still join and sign up family and friends in the Texas area and when your state is deregulated and Ignite enters your market, you will have your business already up and running.

Yesterday, I started my day around 2am. With kids and trying to run several businesses,you have to get up early to get things done. Anywho, I had a long day of multi-tasking and was feeling rather drained, so I decided to take a nap. Well, while trying to take a nap I could not turn off the busy chatter going on in my head and I was feeling uneasy about a business thought.

My spirit told me to go outside and do some landscaping. My first thougths was LANDSCAPING!?  I had no desire to create more work for me, even though, my front yard was starting to look like the rainforest.  I tried to ignore spirit. That’s impossible. It came, again. Go, do the lanscaping and take your sick son with you.

So, when the Diva within calls, you must listen. Being obedient, I went outside with my son and we started to do the landscaping. As I started reconnecting with mother earth, I could sense a wonderful calm and healing come over my body. My son was more relaxed carefree and enjoying a great conversation about the magic of mother nature.

We were having a great time and I was reminded instantly about the importants of staying grounding by staying closely connect to the ground,literally.

In a nutshell, Divas when every you feel out of soughts,tired, frustrated go to mother nature for a healing. Yes, that is right.Take all of your challenges to Mother Nature. The best prescription for a arching heart and a 15 min. nervous breakdown for all Divas; is hugging a tree, gardening, going to the ocean and sitting on the beach. Or go to the park, playground or the mountains.

The therapeutic benefits of the sun,rain,ocean water, oxygen from the trees,the colors of the blue sky and the green grass will sooth all of your chakras and bring your spirit in balance when you spend time with Mother Naturre.

And, it is free. No psychiatrist, spiritual advisor could remedy your mentally, emotionally and spiritually like Mother Nature. 

We are spiritual being just having human experiences. Too many of us are forgetting this truth. What better way to connect with God than in the eyes of Mother Nature. I think women in particular have a greater affinity with Mother Earth because our bodies are always in a procreation state like Momma Nature.               

Working in closed, non-natural environments, like a office, will have most of us a little batty. Our natural way is to be with mother earth every day.

If you are having any difficulty in life: your money is funny, your relationships are being challenged, your emotionally a wreck and you lost connection with the Diva within, go to mother nature for a healing. The trip will be well worth it. It will bring more spiritual wellness in your life. Take a nature walk or do absolutely nothing lying under a tree staring at the sky and you’ll know what I mean.

Trust me all of your challenges will be resolved. Mine were. My business issue was resolved,my relationship with my son improved and I was feeling like a whole.complete. balance Woman-like a Diva!

Spring is upon us now and Mother Nature is beckoning us back to the source of our joy. Go to Mother Nature now, Diva. 

Tell me What you think about Mother Nature? 

Ocean,sun and fresh air to ya,

Elon 

Here is a continuation of the previous blog’s great tax loopholes you want to make a part of your tax deductions.

Office Supplies
Business supplies are legal write offs. Business cards, rolodex, daily planner, pens, pencils, legal paper, glue, are all deductible.  You will have to keep the receipts. Please try to keep separate receipts for personal purchase and business purchases.  Do not pay for business items with your personal funds. Nor should you purchase personal items with your business card.
  Furniture
If you buy a computer, fax machine, copier, printer, computer desk, chair, file cabinet, bookshelves etc. to help you run your business like a professional, you will be able to deduct a portion over the course of 7 years or 100 percent all at once. As far as furniture is concern, you can deduct 100 percent or depreciate over 5 year’s period.  Check with your tax advisor for the facts about your state allowances.
  Software, newsletters, newspapers, magazine subscriptions and books.
If you purchase any type of literature that business related, you can write it off.  If you use any software that pertains to your business you may write it off.  Computer software is not 100 percent deductible the year you buy it.  The I.R.S. believes that  most software are good for up to three years, so you have to depreciate the item over a three year period.  Purchases of any magazines subscriptions, newsletters, newspapers, books and other periodicals can be written off the year you purchase them
Business Car deductions
This is a great write off opportunity for those that use their vehicle for business.  If you have two cars in the family, you can write off 100 percent deduction for the business car.  This mean if you make any repairs, registration, lease payments, parking cost, mileage, tolls, gas cost, repairs and insurance, it’s all deductible. If you are buying the car you can deduct the interest rate on the loan  and depreciation on the vehicle.  If it is a luxury car (you paid  $16,000 or more for the car), you can write off a substantial amount.
You get additional breaks with your home office. You can write off 100 percent of business related mileage from your home to a work location and the return trip home. The smart thing to do is to do several business related task within a day and the in between trips can be written off too. To be safe you must keep impeccably records of your travel in a travel log book or your daily planner.
  Travel, meals, entertainment and gifts
If your business requires you to travel, you can write off 100% of your hotel, air, railway, rent-a- car, and automobile expenses.  Unfortunately, when it comes to eating while on business you can only write of 50% of your meal.  If you treat someone to a meal that you may not attend, you can deduct the entire meal. Any other form of entertainment expenses, such as going to shows or playing golf while talking business is 50% deductible.  But if you give a gift to a client than it is 100% deductible.
Yes, there is even more deductions you can make if you turn a hobby into a business. Look for final blog about tax loophoes on Monday.  If you have some tax loopholes you are using, please share and give your two cents about this blog.

Taxes: Uncle Sam wants your Money
 Divas, one of the greatest expenses you will pay over the course of your lifetime will be taxes. If you are employed, have a good government job, one-third to half of your income will go to Uncle Sam, if you do not create some wonderful legal tax avoidance strategies. The rich Divas understand the importance of legally keeping as much money in your pocket as possible. Besides, the IRS rewards individuals that help keep the economy growing and small business like no other is the fuel that keeps the American economy running.

If you do not have a home based business you need to find one quickly.  Unbeknown to you, you are literally giving money away to the government.   Full-time employment requires that you give the government close to 40% of your income.  If you have a home base business a lot of the cost you would normal spend for various items become tax deductible. Uncle Sam rewards people who have the entrepreneur spirit by allowing legal deductions for the following.

 
Homebased Business Office
You can deduct a percentage of your home for the use of your business.  This means that if your home is 2000 sq. ft and you use 200 sq. ft of it to run your business from home,  you can write of 10% of your mortgage, home insurance, utilities, property taxes, etc.

To be continued and let me know what tax loopholes you find beneficial…

Have a Dynamic Diva Day,

It is financial suicide to depend, solely, on your financial planner to take care of your money.  I don’t dislike financial planners, I was a licensed and registered representative and I enjoyed helping people with their investment goals.  I think there are many who serve their clients well.

 On the other hand, there are many more that provide poor service, losing a lot of their client’s money. I think now the status quo advice of doing dollar cost averaging, investing in diversified mutual funds, buying low, selling high, does not apply to our current economy. I discovered that financial planners know as much about stock as you and I do.  Too many rely on historical precedence. I think we are in a time and age that the way of investing and investment vehicles have changed.  Depending on financial planners to take care of your money is not the way to accumulate wealth.
In essence, depending on the educational institutions, your government/corporate job or your financial planner to help you acquire wealth is not wise. These venues serve the five percent who control the world resources, not you.  As long as their agenda is not your agenda, you will have to take responsibility for determining you financial future.
After doing some real soul searching and introspections, I came to the startling conclusion that I had given my power away.  I allowed myself to be programmed and conditioned to believed that I needed someone else (the so-called experts) to make my financial decisions.  I was broke because of the disempowering position that I had put myself in.  I had only one alternative to choose in order to get my financial life back on track. I had to take control of my bad money habits and establish good money habits.  

To get a good financial education that will help you manage your money well, I recommend that you read more books, go to conference/seminars about wealth building and search the internet for a plethora of financial information. Keep in contact with me at www.thedynamicdiva.com and I will have all the up-to-date information on all of your health, wealth and spiritual needs.  Do not forget to sign up for your free e-zine.

What are your thoughts about financial planners? Do you have one?
