38
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:15.560
the readers about your company and what
services you have to offer your clients.

39
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.639
Yes, yes, thank you so. I am the CEO and founder of

40
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:29.040
AGED Publishing Services, where we offer
a wide range of publishing services including professional

41

your manuscript and we will move forward with

43
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.319
your vision where we help turn writers

44
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.000
time. We also offer writing classes
how to write and publish your book.

45

And then my signature program is the
thirty Day Right to Finish Book writing program.

46
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.399
And now another program we offer is
how to write a chapter to be

47
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:12.000
included in an anthology. Oh boy, thank you for all that information.

48
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.639
Well, I know you and just
you reading that stuff off to us to

49
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.279
the clients. You have my plate
so full I could eat for a year

50
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.639
anyway. You're amazing and I appreciate
what you do. Now, what I

51
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.079
want to ask is what does empowered
to win mean so that our audience could

52
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:39.600
understand as you move forward. Yes, so thank you, Thank you for

53
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.920
asking me that. So I actually
stand on the three p's. So I

54
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.439
stand on And what I mean by
that is you are empowered to win.

55
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.759
So you are empowered to win means
that you have to build up your confidence.

56
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.560
You have to be empowered yourself in
order for you to empower someone else.

57
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.680
And then you have to embrace who
you are as a person, who

58
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.680
you are within yourself, and then
know that you are equipped, that you

59
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.759
have everything that you need on the
inside for you to be able to succeed

60
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.800
and for you to be able to
lead within the authority that you have.

61
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.759
Okay, that is marvelous. That's
a brief synopsis, and that is that

62
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.360
clarifies us moving forward in the show. Now, the next question I would

63
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:38.639
like to ask you sence you.
I know you're twenty one time best selling

64
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:46.959
international author and publisher. Who is
your target audience and how have you assisted

65
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:54.160
in So that's a great question.
So my target audience is definitely women,

66
00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.319
leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, teachers, and executives. So I am admitted

67
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.240
to empowering and equipping women with the
twos to encourage them to write this story,

68
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.199
share their story, and publish their
story. So I have helped them,

69
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.720
you know, get on to various
stages, get onto different platforms and

70
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:24.279
sharing their story and podcasting and getting
into different fields where they can actually share

71
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:31.839
their expertise. So my expertise and
what I do is help them to articulate

72
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:38.600
and to be precise in what they're
doing when they're sharing their stories. That

73
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.879
is amazing. And I can say
that I am the receiver of several of

74
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:50.120
your projects and you're telling the truth. That's what I like about your integrities.

75
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:56.160
High you say what you're gonna do, you put it in writing,

76
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.040
and then you take action in it
and give it to your top. Now

77
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.199
this other one is what is your
compelling vision and how do you develop leadership

78
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:15.519
strategies? So you know, I
kind of that's a great question because I

79
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.480
use this even and what I do
with my business is three things that I

80
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:26.800
do, probably for it's time management, is that I focus in on time

81
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.279
management. I focus in on decision
making, creating my to do list,

82
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.799
and I stick with my to do
list. And then I also I write

83
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.679
things down and then I prioritize things
to make sure that I stick to the

84
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.159
plan that I have set before me. So in me strategizing things, I

85
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.639
make sure that I stick with the
plan. And so that's how I'm able

86
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.759
to lead others is because I set
a specific and then I stick to it.

87
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.440
And I have to agree with you
and that sticking to the plan and

88
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:13.600
prioritizing things. Because this is Women's
History Month and women from all over the

89
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.879
world hopefully will be watching this podcast, And I say, sometimes, you

90
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.679
know, we you know, like
you said, the pletter of things.

91
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.799
You know, you don't just have
the publishing company, but your wife,

92
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:33.399
your caregiver, your mother, your
auntie, and your everything to everybody else.

93
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.159
So we have to prioritize which ties
onto the time management, managing your

94
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.480
time wisely so that you can do
those things that are priority for you.

95
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.440
And I like to tell people,
you know, your faith and your family

96
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.919
comes first. Everybody else take a
number, because if you try to do

97
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.759
everything else on your plate, you're
not going to accomplish half of them.

98
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.879
And then sometimes you have to carry
it from your your A list to the

99
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.840
next day to your B list,
and then there are other things you're going

100
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.840
to be added on to your B
list. So that is really key and

101
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.480
on point. And I'm glad you
said that for those ladies that are out

102
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.200
there and say, oh, I
can't do all this, Well, if

103
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.960
you can do all this and there's
too much on your plate, you need

104
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.480
to take some of that food off
your plate, you know, like take

105
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.200
some of those tasks off your plate. We just had a session. This

106
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.879
passed a couple of weeks ago,
and I went to a retreat and that's

107
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.320
one of the things they told us. They gave us a plate, a

108
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.840
paper plate, and had us a
segmented segment it down and tell us to

109
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.120
put those things that meant the most
to us, you know, put your

110
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.799
priorities, and then look at those
things that you can delegate and give to

111
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.960
someone else. And we do that
well, I do that very well.

112
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.559
Now, So thank you for sharing
those really key points. Now you have

113
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:13.759
exceptionally succeeded as an archer with Best
Sellers Award and all of that in a

114
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.919
bag of chip. What would you
say are some of the ways you have

115
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:26.960
been able to help lead and direct
women entrepreneurs with their gifts that they bring

116
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.200
to the table. So some of
the things that I would say that I

117
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.519
have been able to And that's a
good question. So some of the things

118
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:43.120
that I have been able to help
other women with getting onto platforms is being

119
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.240
able to connect them to other powerful
women and being able to get on too

120
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.240
different podcasts, being able to get
onto different platforms. I'm working on a

121
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.440
Last year, I did a virtual
three day summit retreat and now I'm getting

122
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:09.720
ready to work on a future retreat
prayerfully and working on a live retreat that

123
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.960
will be coming up hopefully in August. And so helping them to meet other

124
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.200
powerful women and to connect that way. And so we're definitely on different magazines,

125
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:31.600
you know, and just being able
to connect globally on someone else's platforms

126
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.399
and connecting makes a difference. Yes, And I like that you say that

127
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.159
that is very important, you know, the collaboration and the connecting when you

128
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.360
have a team, when you build
a team of professional women or professional men,

129
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.600
because this is for men as well. Yes, you have the opportunity

130
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.879
to expand your territory. You know, you have the opportunity to network outside

131
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.759
you know, your small group,
but you must have a team that will

132
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.559
be effective and sufficient to do the
things that you're called to do. I

133
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:15.000
like that when I collaborate with you
and those other professional women's as we all

134
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:20.360
get together. We we meet as
a team number one first, and then

135
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.200
additionally after we build that team,
after you build that team. What we

136
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:33.639
do is we have the different women
that have their own magazines, their own

137
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:41.200
platform, radio, TV or whatever, and we maximize our coverage by working

138
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.679
together. You know, I know
everyone out there must have heard together.

139
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:52.519
Everyone achieves more. Yes, together, everyone achieve more. Why duplicate?

140
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.159
We bring our own uniqueness. But
why duplicate a platform? One is one

141
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.639
is already there that you can collaborate
with. And you know, some people

142
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.360
collaborate just for a minute. But
I know we have been collaborating for a

143
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:13.000
long long time before you even had
your publishing company. So that's what I

144
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.320
like about you. You're very honest. We both try to grow and empower

145
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:24.120
future leaders, grow and empower future
entrepreneurs, future women and men, you

146
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:33.799
know, but they successful women.
Doctor Madlyn Lewis. She has a goal

147
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.320
and that goal is to be touching
and reaching a million women. And these

148
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:45.279
platforms that she is doing here,
she is going to make her goal.

149
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.039
In fact, she made her first
step I think over AE hundred thousand,

150
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.559
so she's she is going to make
her goal and we're going to help her

151
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.960
to do that. And that's what
it's all about. You know. Everybody

152
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:05.440
gets everybody gets to participate, everybody
gets to shine. You know, it's

153
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.759
no jealousy in there in our team. You know, we all have our

154
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.000
own, like I said, uniqueness, and that's how we we work together.

155
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.919
We stick together, and we pray
together. Yes, yes, okay,

156
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.279
let's all go on and on that
note. The next question. As

157
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:33.200
an inspirational and motivational speaker, what
topics do you speak on at events or

158
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.240
conferences or even in the UH in
churches. You know, share some of

159
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.919
those you know, topics with us
and any elaborator if you could just elaborate

160
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.720
on some of the things that you
do with those topics. Yes, so,

161
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.519
thank you, thank you so much. So. Some of the topics

162
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.720
that I speak on is empowering women
to win my thirty day right to finish

163
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.720
book writing programs. So I definitely
speak on that the power of collaboration,

164
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:11.799
and then most of my topics support
the ministry and or whatever platform that I

165
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:18.720
am blessed to grace. It lines
up with whatever the subject matter is at

166
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:26.399
hand, and if it's at a
women's conference or if it's grace and the

167
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:32.120
pulpit, I am in line and
in order to to speak on that.

168
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:38.639
And I have been blessed to speak
on many platforms and I'm aligned with what

169
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.600
that is and the power of the
story or the spoken word, and I

170
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.679
have spoken different places. So women
in power to Win is what I really

171
00:16:53.639 --> 00:17:00.159
you know, focus in on empowering
and uplifting women and making sure that their

172
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.559
story and their voice is being heard. And that's good though you talk about

173
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:12.559
empowered with empowering women to win under
inspirational side, because I know you and

174
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:18.559
the clergy as well, So tell
us a little bit about those things that

175
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:26.200
you do to help women grow in
their ministry. So one of the things

176
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:33.359
that I have been doing is coaching
behind the scenes. Is coaching and empowering

177
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.559
women to lead with their voice is
meaning that you know, once you get

178
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.559
ready to rise up into the purpose
and the plan that God has for you.

179
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.920
You have to begin to take back
your life and start studying more,

180
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.480
praying more, and gain a deeper
relationship with God so that when you step

181
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:00.319
out on faith, that you will
know that God has called you to do

182
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:07.000
such as what He's calling you to
do. I've also I'm an I'm an

183
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.359
avid reader of the Bible, and
so as a former Sunday school teacher,

184
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.400
and not that I'm a former Sunday
school teacher, but teaching Sunday school,

185
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.799
teaching little Sunday School. I don't
know what they call them now, little

186
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:27.039
Lambs, Sunday School, Women's Sunday
School. I've been teaching for many years

187
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:36.799
now and just helping and empowering women
to you know, just equipping them to

188
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:42.000
be able to step out and lead. That's very good because, like you

189
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:47.839
said, some women said they have
been called, you know, they heard

190
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.960
from God and they have been called. And you asked them, what what

191
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.200
are you doing to grow in the
ministry? Well, I don't really know.

192
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.319
They should be praying every day two
three times a day, and at

193
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.880
least I do. And it doesn't
have to be along prayer, just pray,

194
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.240
you know, and not only that, you have to empower yourself.

195
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:18.240
You have to read. You have
to pick books that are relevant in your

196
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.200
craft, relevant in the ara that
you want to become proficient in. And

197
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.920
so I say to those women,
I said, I challenge you women that's

198
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.559
out there. You just want to
say your call and then you want to

199
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:38.640
sit in the pulpit right away.
But are you equipped? Are you educated?

200
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.480
And not saying they're not educated,
But I like to tell people,

201
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.720
you just have to be anointing.
If you know you have that anointing that

202
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.079
God has put on you. And
I know, Alison, you have that

203
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:57.480
anointed You skip some of this stuff
because you send out messages with scriptures every

204
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.240
day and sometimes you add a challenge
or a little task on there, you

205
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:08.000
know, So that is very powerful
there. And if you know, and

206
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.759
I like to say, you have
to have the Word inside of you.

207
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.000
You know, you have to have
at least one or two scriptures that if

208
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.319
somebody says something to you, you
could just be able to at least quote

209
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.720
a structure. You won't have to
come through the Bible to see it.

210
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.400
Or you just give them a prayer. You just say a prayer with him,

211
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.480
and I have witnessed you doing that, you know, on various tums

212
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:41.960
and various media things that we have
shared together. Now, for you have

213
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:48.880
any suggestions for an individual that's starting
in a woman or man that's starting in

214
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:56.200
ministry, just give me two points
that you would compel them to do before

215
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:03.039
they say they want to get into
the ministry. If they're already calling anointing,

216
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.640
it's nothing you can tell anybody that
knows that they've heard from God.

217
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:14.240
But there are two things that they
should be sure of before they step out

218
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.200
on faith, because you know,
when we step out on faith, the

219
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.880
devil is busy, yes, very
busy. So two things that you can

220
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.000
share with him, because I know
you're very experienced in your ministry, that

221
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:37.240
they should be thinking of once they
get that calling and that anointing. You

222
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.839
know, definitely, I would always
say, seek God, you know,

223
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:48.920
definitely, make sure that you're constantly
seeking God, you know, seek God

224
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:53.279
so that you'll see God and you'll
you'll know for sure, you'll know for

225
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.279
sure, sure that you know,
you know that God called you, so

226
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:03.799
that you'll be girded up and you'll
be strengthened when you stand out and you

227
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:10.720
step out another thing. Stay prayed
up. Always stay prayed up. Pray

228
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.400
without ceaseing, so that your confidence
will not fail you. You know,

229
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.920
the more you prayed up, the
more you'll be filled up in the word

230
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.880
of God. Because if you're constantly
praying, you know, it's almost like

231
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.480
the fear and the attacks and the
things that are gonna come up against you,

232
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.279
it's gonna be pushed down, it's
gonna you know, it's gonna be

233
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:40.319
smaller because you're constantly in prayer.
So the more that I pray, the

234
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.359
more that I feel my confidence in
the Lord building me up. So I

235
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.799
would say, you know, the
two things I would say, you know,

236
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:53.240
constantly keep seeking God and constantly keep
praying. Because if God called you,

237
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.119
God has already equipped you. You
already have everything that you need down

238
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.480
on the inside. You don't have
to seek man or woman. You don't

239
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.000
have to look to the left or
to the right. You don't have to

240
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.960
try and figure things out. God
is gonna He's already given you everything that

241
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.720
you need. You just have to
walk out on faith. But you want

242
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.839
to make sure that when you walk
out on faith, that you know that

243
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.079
you're sure, that you're sure that
you're sure because people are gonna come at

244
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.559
you from every angle. And I'm
the living witness because that's where I am

245
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:33.119
right here. I'm gonna live.
Yeah, And I know because I've read

246
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.240
I wasn't in that ontology, but
I've read one, you know, one

247
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:45.799
of your books. Unshakable. Yes, Faith, we must be unshakeable.

248
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.720
I like to say, we could
be unstoppable. If you're called, you're

249
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:55.599
gonna have the obstacles, but you're
gonna be You must be unshakeable, unstoppable,

250
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:03.160
unbothered period. Because whether you're doing
well or you're not doing well,

251
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.240
people are gonna talk, but they'll
talk more when you're not doing well.

252
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.799
You know, when you're not doing
so the you know when you're not doing

253
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:18.319
well, period and some and then
sometimes you lose friends because they hate to

254
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:25.559
see you progressing and excellence. So
the devil just put in their mind or

255
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.440
they put in their own minds.
I don't want to have to deal with

256
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.000
her, you know, I got
to compete with her. We don't have

257
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:38.559
any competition in our group, thank
god. But we are connected not only

258
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:47.200
by the anthology, but we are
connected spiritually. That's why I think our

259
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:53.400
group is really powerful. Because when
you are connected spiritually, you know,

260
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.039
have that kindred spirit, you can
tell, you can tell who you're not

261
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.000
gonna work with, you're gonna tell, could tell who's going to be a

262
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.519
friend, and who's not gonna be
a friend. You know, who's gonna

263
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:08.119
block you. When you know all
of that kind of thing. But you

264
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:14.599
have to be unbothered because you have
to be unstoppable and you have to be

265
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.480
faithful in what God has called you
to do. And I did a session

266
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.480
with one of my coaches, and
I was when he asked me, what

267
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:29.240
is that one thing that kept me
from progressing, you know, to the

268
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:34.480
next level for a long time,
And it was men, you know,

269
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.920
mostly men telling women what they're supposed
to do. I'm not supposed to do.

270
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.640
They put a lid on us.
Oh you could do this much,

271
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.400
Okay, you called it the ministry. Well, I want you to do

272
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.839
X, Y Z, and that's
not what you've been called to do,

273
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.119
you know. I thought Sunday School, I did the academy, the Bible

274
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:03.839
Academy. And the thing about it
is when you're called to evangelize, because

275
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:10.640
that's my gift in evangelism, they
want to put you in finance or something

276
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.559
that you're not called to do.
You know you're not. I'm not called

277
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.680
to handle money. I don't even
balance my check book. And that's the

278
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.880
honest truth. I have not balanced
my checkbook for decades, really, but

279
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.920
I know there's some change in there. So don't tell me to handle the

280
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.279
finances, you know, X y
z oh, don't call me to work

281
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:38.519
with five year old and below.
I love kids, right, I've did

282
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:44.000
my share in that working with these
young kids. I did my share.

283
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.200
But at this season in my life, I don't think I have the patience

284
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:53.000
to deal with young and the noise. You know, they're grabbing, you

285
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.920
know, and whatever. And I
love kids, but that's not my calling

286
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.400
in this season. That's somebody,
yes, call it. You know.

287
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.240
You can't add someone to work with
younger kids that don't that their kids are

288
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.599
grown now and they probably have grand
kids, you know. If you don't

289
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.480
have brand kids, you might have
a grand dog like I do. Yeah,

290
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.240
but I know you have beautiful grandkids. So I am glad that you

291
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:22.559
share that. We must be prepared
and equipped, but we must remain unshakable,

292
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:27.720
unstoppable, and faithful to the word, you know, And we got

293
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:33.839
to step out on faith, even
if at the time we don't step into

294
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.000
the deep waters. We need to
just step out and move out, take

295
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:45.119
baby steps if we have to,
and seek a mentor, a true mentor.

296
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.279
I don't mentor a whole lot of
people now because mentoring this generation is

297
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:53.680
a little bit different. You know. They want to come and take two

298
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:59.160
or three mentoring classes, and they
want to get paid, or they want

299
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:04.119
to be in the same position you
are. That requires growth, experience,

300
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.599
trial and error, and that's what
I tell them, and I know you

301
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:15.680
have experienced that yourself. All right, So I am I have another question

302
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:26.519
to ask you, as a speaker
in in clergy. What is one topic

303
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.920
that you could expound on. And
this doesn't have to be clergy for women

304
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:37.400
only. It could be clergy for
those growing into the ministry. Just one

305
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.160
topic. I know you said seek
God first. We always have to do

306
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.880
that. God first, Family second, everybody else take a number. You

307
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.799
know that's me right there. I'll
tell you in a minute. So all

308
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.920
right, just tell us something that
can help our listening audience out there in

309
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.640
reference to growth within clergy. And
it doesn't have to necessarily in a church.

310
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:06.720
I know that some pastors. You
know they have started with seven people

311
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:12.079
and they got over ten thousand or
twenty thousand, even thirty thousand individuals in

312
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:18.440
their congregational but as a stepping stone
for them, so that they'll know,

313
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:27.039
tell us something that can help those
things. They're gonna get rich by going

314
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:34.720
into clergy right away. Listen,
don't listen. Don't allow the distractions to

315
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:41.119
stop you from doing what God is
calling you to do. Don't allow the

316
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.480
things that are going on around you
right now to stop you from what God

317
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:51.079
is calling you to do. We're
gonna have distractions every day. Things are

318
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.079
going to come up in our life
every day. When you know that God

319
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.400
has a calling on your life and
that there's assignment that He is calling you

320
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.160
to do, don't let that stop
you. Distractions are going to happen.

321
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:08.799
Things are gonna happen. Distractions are
gonna They're put in place to stop you.

322
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.440
But you have to be strong enough. You have to stay focused long

323
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.400
enough to be able to get past
the distractions so that you can carry out

324
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.519
the assignment. Because somebody is waiting
to hear what God has called you to

325
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:30.640
do. And if every time a
distraction comes you stop the assignment. Someone

326
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.839
has falling by the wayside because you
decided to give up. Listen, get

327
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.880
past the distractions, get past the
fear, Get past what people are saying

328
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.640
about you, because they talked about
our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

329
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.359
But we have to get past it. We have to move on. We

330
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.240
have to press forward and let go
of the distractions because someone needs what God

331
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:57.319
has specifically for you. No one
can do what God has called me to

332
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.759
do. I can't do, Doctor
Amisia has been called to do. No

333
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.079
one can do what God has called
me to do. It is time for

334
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.759
me to rise and take my place
and get in position. Yes, I

335
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.799
love it, I love it.
I love it. And you're absolutely right.

336
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:19.640
The distractions that derailments because people will
derail you. And you know that's

337
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:25.279
why you have to know your circle
and know the proclimity of this circle.

338
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.440
Who is in your circle? Are
they there really to support you or are

339
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.880
they dare to just dab you in
the back? You know? And and

340
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:40.200
so distractions derailment. And we know
I don't want to give him too much,

341
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.680
Fred, that devil. You know, we are women empowered to win,

342
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:51.519
women in power to win, and
we will rise I think doctor Lewis,

343
00:31:52.119 --> 00:32:00.519
you know she had uh seminar.
Also, women are and call called

344
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:05.400
rise up. You know, rise
up. This is the season, this

345
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.960
is the year for women to take
their place. They take their seat at

346
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.599
the table if necessary. And if
you don't have a seat at the table,

347
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.400
just build your own, grow your
own, build your own table.

348
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.920
I like to say, I don't. I'm looking right now over the pond

349
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:28.759
or the retention, the river what
they called waterfront property here where I live,

350
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.240
and I like to say, you
know, there are a lot of

351
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:36.480
fish in there, but I don't
want but half of that is mine.

352
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:40.720
I don't want to fishing somebody else
pond. I want to have my own

353
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.720
pond. You know. For now, you know I am sharing the pond,

354
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.960
But you want to have your own
so that you can grow. And

355
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:53.720
they not only grow for yourself,
but grow for others and leave a legacy

356
00:32:53.880 --> 00:33:00.480
behind for your family. Leave in
a legacy for your family. Important.

357
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:05.000
My parents left a legacy for me, and I want to leave a bigger

358
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:15.599
legacy for my family. And when
it comes to really working in ministry,

359
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:24.359
it's you have a Sometimes you have
a different circle in ministry for than working

360
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:30.640
outside of ministry or working in clergy, because everyone is not a fit to

361
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.759
be in your circle and you're not
a fit to be in theirs. So

362
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:43.839
the derailment, the destruction, the
distraction and everything else, you just have

363
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.319
to watch that. You have to
be careful about that. And you have

364
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.519
been so good at doing that.
I just can't give you enough praise for

365
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:58.119
that. You have been very good
in doing that. And I I am

366
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.799
looking at we still have about ten
more minutes. I want you to tell

367
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:07.639
us more about the thirty Day Right
to Finish book. You know, writeing

368
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:10.559
a chapter or antology. A lot
of people say, oh, I can

369
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.559
write a book, Yes you can, you know if you just take one

370
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:22.440
paragraph at a time. Yes,
it may not be. It may not

371
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.079
be the way. It's the verbiage, you know, and it might you

372
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.320
might have an adjective not here or
a verb not here or whatever. But

373
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.559
just write like you speak, or
write like it comes out of your mind,

374
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:37.920
and then you know, Alison,
it'll tell you what the rest to

375
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:43.800
do. You know? Yes,
yes, so the thirty Day Right to

376
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.599
Finish Book writing program. So I
actually am sitting like right here with you

377
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:55.199
and I'm showing you through modules how
to start writing your first chapter, and

378
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.079
I take you through an outline.
I take you through how writing your first

379
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:06.880
chapter, how to begin it.
I actually show you what you need to

380
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.199
do to find ideas. I go
through the time management with you. I

381
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:16.920
go through you, you know,
picking certain verbiage for how you need to

382
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:24.599
actually get started the content, and
bringing you through just finding certain stories.

383
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:30.400
We don't really realize how you know, there's a story written every day,

384
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:36.880
someone is saying something that we can
catch every day. And until you get

385
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:43.480
around someone like myself that can actually
help you build that story or build that

386
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:52.199
chapter or write that book, you
really don't know how impactful someone that has

387
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.920
already written forty one books can really
be in your life to actually help you

388
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:02.960
get started. And I actually help
you with writing that first chapter. And

389
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.079
then once you write that first chapter, and once you write that second chapter,

390
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:14.719
you're actually able to continue with writing
a book and getting started. I've

391
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:22.119
helped now to date, over forty
fifty four women write their books. Now,

392
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.519
I've had two men in the class. They haven't written their books yet,

393
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:29.400
but at least they've written a chapter. Because I actually do not let

394
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:35.760
you finish without or complete the class
without at least finishing a chapter, because

395
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.280
my goal is not just to make
money, but my goal is to help

396
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:45.880
you complete your story because I believe
that you should leave a legacy your story,

397
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.519
Your story matters, and I believe
that you should be able to write

398
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:59.119
your story and leave a legacy for
the next generation because you survived it and

399
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.079
you should be able to write it, share it and let your family know.

400
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.480
This is what I survived and this
is what I came through. So

401
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:15.079
the thirty day Right to Finish book
writing program or the anthology like what you

402
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:20.239
see here. Everyone isn't equipped to
write a whole book, but why not

403
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:25.039
share that one chapter and take that
one chapter to the next level. And

404
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:31.840
so that's where I created the how
to write a chapter for an anthology And

405
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:38.119
it has really been taken off just
by writing one chapter in someone else's book

406
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:45.559
or in one of my anthologies,
because God has gifted me to be able

407
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.400
to tell to help others to do
that. Thank you so much. And

408
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:57.079
you said that, you said that
very well, because not everybody is equipped

409
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.320
to write a book right away,
but everyone has a story. They're good,

410
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.960
they're bad, and the ugly,
and it might be your good you're

411
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.639
bad and the ugly, but it
may help someone else, you know,

412
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:12.079
to evolve. And most of the
times we don't want to go to the

413
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.960
ugly. We just want to write
the positive side of anything that we experience

414
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:24.079
because that's where it would inspire or
lead someone else to grow in their areas

415
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:30.159
of insufficiency. At the time,
Allison, you have been so wonderful.

416
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.199
I wanted to say something else,
but I don't know. But all I

417
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.400
could say is keep doing what you're
doing. And this is what I wanted

418
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:45.920
to say. For those of the
listening audience out there. I would I

419
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:51.360
would encourage you, and I'm sure
doctor Lewis has did this many times,

420
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:54.920
but we're gonna just throw the ice
cream on top of her cake. And

421
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:04.840
I would encourage you to invest in
a mentor invest in a coach and your

422
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:13.119
investment in the mentorship or a coaching
ship will get you sponsors. People sometimes

423
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.000
are watching you behind the scenes,
and I'll give you an example of that.

424
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:21.360
I know when I first started,
I mean for five years, I

425
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.440
was just investing in nothing happening,
you know, But I would speak it

426
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:29.519
everywhere, whether it was a boy
scout, girls coup, you know,

427
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:35.760
the disabled bed, the rotary clubs, the library. There's so many places

428
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:39.559
that you can go and speak.
Once you get your chapter written, you

429
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:44.960
write a list of different things places
that you can go, and it may

430
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:49.000
be free for now. And somebody
that had been watching you for three or

431
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:52.440
four or five years, all of
a sudden, you know, my growing

432
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.039
up empirent future Leaders, now it
took off. You know, somebody behind

433
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:02.440
the scenes that was watching me and
I I didn't know. They bought several

434
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.639
cases of what I had, and
I had him on Amazon. I didn't

435
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.480
really know until I start looking at
certain things, you know, you look

436
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.519
at your accounts, and then you'll
see what they happened. Well, where

437
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.599
is this coming from? God is
good? That's all I have to say.

438
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:25.360
God is good, and he's not
good to Campbell's Campbell's soup. He

439
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:29.639
is good all by himself. He
don't need to be, you know,

440
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:35.079
compared to you know, Campbell's soup
or anything like that. But I just

441
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.239
want to say thank you, thank
you, thank you. And I want

442
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:45.400
you right now to tell a listening
audience how they can connect with you through

443
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:51.559
your social media and how they can
contact you if they want to be a

444
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:58.000
part of any of the antologies that
we have been in together well in the

445
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.199
future. Yes, yes, thank
you, thank you so much for having

446
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:05.559
me on the show, and thank
you so much Doctor Lewis for having me

447
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:10.280
on the show too. I can
be found on all social medias under Allison
