As mentioned by Satvik Movement on their website-

Satvic Movement. 

First of all, yoga helps to strengthen your core and focuses on full-body movement, which can help you get better posture. That instantly makes your belly look slimmer than before. Besides, a study by Harvard Health Publishing says that yoga changes the way you look at your body. “Surveys have found that those who practised yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn’t practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies,” they write. (credit)

More and more women are setting up businesses. It’s no secret that failure rates for start-ups are high but there are ways to shorten the odds of achieving success. One critical commandment is to keep a firm grip on your business finances. In this guide, we’ll discuss effective tips to manage your money. 

Separate personal and business finances

It may be tempting when you launch a small business to combine personal and business banking but the sooner you separate your finances the better. Managing business accounts is very different from personal banking. You’ll need to factor in running costs, wages, outsourcing fees, supplies and taxes, as well as monitoring your income and processing invoices. It’s wise to set up a business bank account at the outset and to use corporate cards rather than personal debit or credit cards to make payments. It’s also beneficial to record any payments you make from your own accounts for business purposes so that you have an accurate idea of profit and loss figures and you can keep track of transactions.

Budgeting and limiting spending

Budgeting is essential for all business owners. Drawing up a budget enables you to track and monitor spending, keep an eye on your income and audit expenses. Once you know how much money is coming into and going out of your accounts, you can establish spending limits, set aside funds for growth or further investment, or clear debts. It’s also an excellent idea to use your budget to highlight areas where you may be overspending and to identify potential reductions or cuts.

Negotiating on prices

Negotiation skills are incredibly valuable for business owners. If you buy materials or products from suppliers, you work with distributors or logistics firms, or you outsource services to external agencies or companies, for example, make sure you get the best deal.

Utilizing tools and resources

Managing your finances can be difficult enough without taking charge of company accounts. It is advantageous to think about hiring an accountant or outsourcing accounting and bookkeeping but if you don’t want to increase your expenses, there are some excellent tools and resources available. You can use apps and software programs to process and log invoices, help with payroll and wages, help you to comply with ASC 842 guidelines, and any other guidelines that you need to adhere to, and facilitate easy budgeting and forecasting.

Flexible staffing solutions

For many business owners, staff wages are a significant outgoing. Even if you only have a small team, you may find that salaries eat into your profits. If you’re keen to lower your wage bill without compromising on quality or service, there may be solutions. You could consider offering short-term contracts or hiring people on a part-time basis, you could recruit seasonal staff during peak periods or you could opt to outsource rather than to employ new members of staff.

Cash flow issues and mounting debts are common causes of business failure. If you run a company, or you’re preparing to launch a new venture, it’s vital to manage your money effectively from the start. Separate business and personal accounts, make use of tools and resources, consider flexible staffing options and draw up and stick to a budget.

Isn’t this sounding fascinating, how can the art of window cleaning be used for self-discovery?

Guest contributor at Womenlines Mrs Vimmi Jolly, who is an Educationist, Columnist, Speaker from India, has shared a very insightful thought-provoking article that can help you to navigate yourself better way-

In learning the art of seeing specialities in others we need to apply the first Law of Spirituality, which says we are responsible for our own experiences; if I see the negative in others I feel unhappy; if I see the positive I feel happy.  It is up to me to decide.  To justify the way we feel we have become highly skilled at the Art of Blame.  It is a skill we have refined over a long time to escape our conscience. 

It is often hardest to see the specialities in those I am familiar with: my family, friends and work colleagues.  Below are some points to ponder that have helped me improve the Art of Window Cleaning!

A good way to get to know me on a deeper level is to start with the question: what do I really value in life? I will probably find that I value qualities such as love, happiness, compassion…the things that make me feel valued and bring inner happiness. I then think about whether or not the way I live my life reflects that – and what is there in my life that matches what I value? 

             “Start with the question: what do I really value in life?”

Much of the unhappiness and insecurity in the world is a result of our limited, external perception of ourselves. I believe it is the inner, spiritual, identity that people are searching for today. This spiritual identity can give me hope in a situation of despair, show me a solution to any problem and inspire me to change the direction of my life.  And it is through recognizing and experiencing my spiritual self that I can connect with God and receive the strength and broader vision that I need to contribute positively to this world.

All the mediums of social media (be it any) often seems to encourage this skill by glorifying intelligence as the ability to analyze weaknesses in others.  With calculated intent, the character of another is pulled apart.  We learn this skill and pass it onto others.  The great irony of the whole process is that I become the target. I am deeply hurt.  We forget another Law of Spirituality, that of cause and effect.  I will reap the fruit of my attitudes.  It makes it even more important to consciously educate myself to see the specialities in the self and others.

Seeing myself as a spiritual being, I rediscover my natural, inner treasures of peace, love, purity, happiness and wisdom, which I tend to forget.  It’s like having a beautiful instrument in my cupboard. Well, why not play it?  When I experience these qualities within myself, I become a much happier, more stable person. Understanding my own value, I am able to keep my self-respect, even when someone is trying to bring me down, and so can help others come out of their limited perception.

Given the landscape of today’s fast-paced technologically simulated world, I Am Unbiased, I Am Peace, I Am Mindful, I Am Empathetic! is a gentle and loving reminder for kids and adults to appreciate living in the moment, calm their emotions, be patient and kind with themselves and others, and respect the simplicity of nature.

I am a Learner on a Spiritual Path.…… Not a Disciple!

Do you believe in the magic of caring? Our entrepreneur of the month Dr Francesca Richardson from Maryland USA, who is a Psychotherapist, inner Wisdom Therapist, Caring Magic Researcher, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst, Transpersonal Hypnotherapist and Researcher will make you believe. Listen to her insightful interview in the above video.

Dr Francesca Richardson is also known as the Sacred Self Therapist. She has been a psychotherapist, educator and researcher for over 30 years. She can help you connect with your Sacred Self, transform your Inner Critic and reconnect with your Caring Magic. Caring magic is your magical ability to transform reality through care. Transforming your inner critic so that you can align with your Sacred Self. Dr Francesca also does healing of the inner landscape, nature as relationship and healing source, women’s issues, inner child healing, mindfulness, intersubjectivity and relational theory and practice, ageing and caregivers, primary and secondary trauma.

• What unique work you are doing and what’s your vision?

I help women to recognize and care for their Sacred Selves, the unique self they were born with they have forgotten about, the Self that carries the light of creation and seeks their Sacred Path. I have programs to help women gather, heal and learn to express their Sacred Selves. I use hypnotherapy, breathwork, psychodrama, journaling, nature exercises and other healing modalities to help women to step into their power and shine their light.

• As a coach how you can bring a difference in your coachee’s life and what other benefits she can get?

Many times women have lost touch with their essential Sacred Self, the self they were born to be, the baby that came into this world carrying the light of Creation. Because of this two things happen: women criticize themselves for not being or doing enough, based on negative old messages from childhood, and unhealthy messages from society. I help women to transform their inner critic to champion themselves, and the second thing I help them do is to recognize their Caring Magic, their ability to change reality through caring for others.

• Please share some message with the Womenlines audience.

Honour your Sacred Self that carries the light of creation, and your Caring Magic, your ability to change reality through Caring, so that you can shine your light in the world!

“The phrase women in business cover the participation of women in leadership roles in commerce or better known as Noemi Favaro and her followers. Women have historically been kept out of leadership roles within the business. Up until as late as the 2000s, it was difficult for women to climb up to management positions due to discrimination from their male peers. Today, women fill more corporate leadership and entrepreneurship roles than ever before. Nigeria is the leading economy in Africa right now and it’s an exciting place to be a woman entrepreneur. Women are still, however, underrepresented and underestimated in corporate leadership. They make up only 4.8% of CEOs in S&P 500 companies, despite making up 44.7% of total employees. There are a lot of challenges and women must be ready to contend with a wide range of these challenges in business. (Credit Wikipedia)

Have you ever thought of embracing resistance as your friend? Learn from Leadership Influencer Sally Anderson from New Zealand how this friendship can transform your life! Sally has privately coached key influencers internationally: CEO’s/executive teams/C-Suite forums/entrepreneurs/celebrities/politicians/millionaires/billionaires over 20 years.

Did you know the frightening statistic regarding ‘resistance to change? Upwards of 80% if not more of people resist change in their personal and or professional lives then use confusion as their go-to point to abdicate responsibility as to why things are the way they are. Powerful default strategy. There is a lot written about being committed, resilient or persevering BUT there is little written about the number 1 thing that you have to transcend if you want not only change but sustainable change and that folks are your relationship with ‘resistance’.

If you want to change, transform any area of your life be that personally and or professionally, this will be directly linked to your ability to embrace resistance as your ally NOT your enemy. What would happen in your life if you went to everything that you were confronted by, resistant of, uncomfortable with?  Do you think you might produce different results? Doing the same things expecting different results is not only time consuming it’s ludicrous!

We come across resistance as a constant in our lives every day and yet we do not welcome it for this is where the rubber truly hits the road where transformation is concerned. I am not saying you need to put yourself in unsafe situations but if you desire your life to be what you want it to be it starts and ends with transforming your relationship with what resistance means to you.

With the advent of Covid 19, many have been forced to feel resistance to an unprecedented level because the pandemic has propelled people into uncharted waters. Pre Covid the majority could remain disassociated from the costs of not changing but post-Covid, navigating uncertainty has become the norm. We are used to being in control, but who are we when we are out of control? In the leadership space specifically, leaders are used to being in control but when placed in a situation where they are no longer in control they experience massive resistance.

I am a proponent of what I term ‘reverse psychology’ – It is counter-intuitive to go to that which you find confronting, resistant and uncomfortable HOWEVER as a change agent these are the shoes you LIVE IN if the change is what you want! Most people get off the court when they experience confrontation, resistance and uncomfortability and yet these are the 3 access points to true unrecognisable transformation. If you wish to change and or sustain change EMBRACE confrontation, resistance and uncomfortability as your new norm after all they are JUST feelings and once transcended there is gold that lies on the other side!

Here are 10 recommendations to embrace resistance as your ally:-

1. Train yourself that when you want to back out GO IN – be that a conversation, be that a decision you said you would take, be that an action
2. Evidence based people are waiting for evidence to show up before they trust, which are the majority – so if you need evidence take resistant action for 1 week and see all the evidence you need
3. Be your word for 1 week, do what you say you are going to do to the letter and when resistance is present welcome it, and take the action anyway
4. Get a sense of humour because when resistance is present we have a tendency as human beings to be VERY serious, significant and dramatic
5. Get an accountability partner, be that daily video’s, daily checkin’s, welcome partnership in transcending your current resistance
6. Get support, hire a coach or a mentor who partners you to bridge the gap from where you are today to where you want to be
7. Play it like it’s a game. Notice the area’s of your life where you are the most resistant and make a pact with yourself that instead of doing what you have always done do something different – instead of getting off the court in these moments, and there will be many, stay on the court!
8. Leverage your faith. The main benefit of having a faith is being guaranteed of living and leading a fearless existence so in the moments you are resistant turn with in and ask for guidance
9. Create accountability structures, structure builds strong foundations for transformative results and learn to be your word to yourself like your life depends on it and it literally does
10. Get comfortable being uncomfortable after all it is just a feeling.  Feelings pass. Welcome resistance as your ally, go looking for it, wallow in it being your access point to everything you want

Final word. If you are not willing to transform your relationship to ‘resistance’, just get that you are more committed to sabotaging for every moment of every day that you are not embracing resistance is a day where you rob yourself of what could be possible. Food for thought today!

Marketing Strategy

If your marketing strategy is not people-centric it may be why you are missing out on sales!

The pandemic has affected our behaviour as people. Impacting how we think and act as customers. Making us more conscientious and more focused on knowing the value upfront before committing. It’s a distinct shift that’s occurred. Understanding this impacts your marketing strategy!  Creating people-centric marketing strategies that result in having an engaged community and sales pipeline is what we do at Humanizing Business.

It can all be quite overwhelming at times. Marketing that is. As a business owner, manager, or entrepreneur staying on top of your marketing can be daunting.

I know I’ve been there. The right technology The right customer The right tone, design, and content .The right social media channels The right communications.
