Effective Facebook Marketing

Purposeful Pathway is the haven for faith-based entrepreneurs. Part of my mission is equipping faith-based businesses with information that is practical, actionable and Scriptural.

The theme of this post is effective Facebook marketing!

Social media can be a very powerful medium for marketing. Yet social media can also drain a lot of time and energy from an entrepreneur if there is no clear-cut plan.

How can you leverage social media, specifically Facebook, for your faith-based business?

Use consistently a Facebook page in addition to a profile. You can most certainly build relationships via a profile, but Facebook pages include analytics and applications that profiles do not have. Friends can become jaded when they see too many marketing posts on a personal profile, but they expect enriching business-related information on a page.
Build a fan base you will be excited to serve. Building a fan base is not an end in itself. Thoughtfully build a base of potential ideal clients. Offer something compelling for free, such as eBook or an exclusive interview audio; think of your ideal client when you create this offer. What does he or she need most? Build an opt-in form for this offer on your Facebook page; you can then deliver the gift via email and consequently stay in touch. The benefits are twofold in this situation: you attract potential clients to your page, and you build your mailing list. Both allow you to nurture relationships.
Keep an engaged page. One method for increasing engagement is by liking fan pages that your ideal client would like; do so using your fan page. For example, if you are a health coach, your ideal client may like pages for weight loss tips, health clubs, health food stores, wellness centers and healthy recipes. In terms of connecting with local clients, look for local venues and local pages. Once you have liked these pages, consistently engage with the posts from these pages (commenting from your page rather than your profile); doing so will allow the followers of these pages to see your page and also potentially like and engage on your page.
Host joint ventures and offer special promotions with owners from other pages. Doing so allows all page owners to expand their followings.
Build relationships with your personal profile too. Join groups that attract your ideal clients and actively participate by sharing your posts and promotions in these groups. You can also befriend local media, community organizations and local businesses. In sharing their posts, you will be a rich resource for your ideal clients.
Do not forget Facebook ads. Although there is a cost involved, Facebook ads can be very effective and can provide a great return on investment. Before you invest in Facebook ads, clarify your ideal client demographics and also create a compelling ad with an irresistible offer.
As with all marketing, put yourself into your clients’ shoes. What are they thinking? What do they need? With whom are they talking? What is their biggest problem expressed in their words? How can you bring value to them? Before you sign onto Facebook or social media in general, pray about providing what your ideal client most needs to receive from you. The more we step out of ourselves and into the heads and hearts of our clients, the more we attract them and the more we are able to serve them.

The mission of our faith-based businesses, after all, is to serve others and to glorify God with the gifts He has given us! These seven steps for effective Facebook marketing will allow Facebook to be one avenue in which you are able to do just that.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11

If you need help with Facebook marketing or with building your business overall, I invite you to attract your ideal clients and powerfully boost your business over the next 40 days! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. I have organized my knowledge and experiences in business into an implementable 40-day series of actionable daily steps, instructional videos and powerful worksheets. If you need a serious boost in business, I encourage you to take the next step by visiting Purposeful Pathway Business Academy today!

Let’s pray. Faithful Father, You created us to be in relationship with us. How blessed we are by Your love for us. As we build relationships with others, help us to do so always from a space of love and service. Help us, Father, to glorify You in all that we do. Bless every step of our purposeful pathway. It’s in Jesus’ Name that we pray. Amen.

What Really is Healthcare Reform?

Guest Post by Heart and Soul Health Coach Mike Fenton

When we look at healthcare reform it can sometimes be confusing as to what that really means because it can mean something different to us all. For some it can mean lower health care costs, and for some it means purchasing something they were not required to have before now.

Everyone is now being mandated that they purchase healthcare insurance as part of this so-called “healthcare reform”. But what does the requirement to purchase medical insurance have to do with healthcare reform? It should be more aptly named medical healthcare insurance reform.

Real healthcare reform begins in the home and it starts with eating nutritionally sound foods and participating in some form of physical exercise on a somewhat frequent basis. Will the new “healthcare reform” do anything to change the obesity epidemic, or have an impact on the 25.8 million children and adults in the United States (8.3% of the population) that have diabetes? Or the 7.0 million people that are currently undiagnosed diabetics? Or worse yet the 79 million people that are pre-diabetic?

Really healthcare reform could and would impact this group along with many more like it through the education of and the promotion of good health, nutritional guidance and exercise. It is not about who gets stuck with the tab for our last office visit. It is about eating better and incorporating some form of exercise into our life, even if it is just an evening stroll around the block.

How can we effect real healthcare reform? By making better choices when it comes to what we eat, sure it takes a little longer to make something that is not already pre-packaged, but when we look at the costs (our health) it should be a decision that leaves little room for thinking. When faced with problems such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, we must make every attempt to get them under control through diet and exercise instead of using prescription medications where sometimes the side-effects are worse than the malady itself.

Recently, Ann Musico Holistic Health Coach and Dr. Brent Hunter reported on the effects stress has on our health. On separate occasions both made reference to the overwhelming evidence that most diseases are stress related.

We can live a longer healthier life by learning to release the stress that builds inside of us daily. Free yourself from the world of “I have to have it yesterday and focus on the here and now. By freeing ourselves of stress or at least trying to minimize it we can prevent many of the deadly diseases our world faces today.

This is when and where real healthcare reform begins.

Biz Tip: Letting Go with the Leaves

Letting Go with the Leaves

Image courtesy James Barker at www.freedigitalphotos.net

Autumn is to me a sacred and special time of year. The beauty of the trees seems to culminate in a remarkable rainbow of color. The winds stir the soul with precious promises. The cool weather inspires deep introspection.

In watching recently the leaves dance from the trees, I was reminded of the wisdom in nature. Although the leaves are at their peak of beauty, the trees let go of them. The trees let go simply because it is time to let go.

These very leaves dancing in the Autumn breeze will fertilize the winter ground and become the substance for springtime leaves to grow. So much we can learn from this beautiful cycle. How important it is for us to let go, for in doing so we nourish our roots and encourage new growth.

How can we apply the awesome wisdom of Autumn in our faith-based businesses?

Enjoy precious moments to ponder. Sit still in God’s presence. “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’” (Psalm 46:10) Hear His wisdom. Heed His voice. Harken to His call. Bask in the sunshine, watch the leaves dance and feel the invigorating winds. Allow the rhythm of the seasons to stir your soul. “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” (Daniel 2:21)
Request of God what needs to be released. What items? What relationship? What resentment? What activity? What goal? What desire? What habit? “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” (James 1:5) Journal the wisdom you gain from Jesus when asking these questions. Document these discoveries without judgment. List everything from a space of love.
Commit to let go with the leaves. Preferably in an inspiring space, commit to release these various things just as the leaves are released to Autumn winds. Place all in God’s hands.
Prepare with a plan. Create a plan for this release. For example, how will you release the items? Donate to a charity? Sell on eBay? Host a garage sale? How will you release an unhealthy relationship? Does doing so require a letter? A conversation? Or simply a shift in your perspective? How will you release the activities? The habits? The desires? Create plans with time-lined steps.
Follow through with faithfulness. Move forward with your plans by leaning on your Father. Expect discomfort in the process; yet expect also divine comfort to follow your heartfelt prayers. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) Letting go provides breathing space for healing and growth. Release engenders rejuvenation, revitalization and refreshment. Surrender brings sublime peace.
Wait with wonder. Wait on God to bring about the phenomenal fruit of lovingly letting go. “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) Document this fruit in your journal.
Rejoice in your release. You will notice beautiful breakthroughs in life and business when you lovingly let go. Rejoice in this fruit and give glory to God!

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

If you need help with this powerful process…I invite you to attract your ideal clients and powerfully boost your business over the next 40 days! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. I have organized my knowledge and experiences in business into an implementable 40-day series of actionable daily steps, instructional videos and powerful worksheets.

If you need a serious boost in business, I encourage you to take the next step by visiting Purposeful Pathway Business Academy today!

Let’s pray. Faithful Father, we rely on you as we release according to Your will. Grant us Your wonderful wisdom, pave our purposeful paths and shed Your luminous light. Give us strength to let go in order to lovingly embrace Your will. Allow us to bear remarkable fruit from this release for Your glory. It’s in Jesus’ Name that we pray. Amen.

Poem: Open Your Eyes

Image courtesy Feelart at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~ Job 12:7-10

Look at the birds,

What do you see?

Do you appreciate a dance

Orchestrated by Me?

Listen closely to the sea,

What do you hear?

Do you sense My symphony

Splashing ever clear?

Breathe deep in the garden,

What do you smell?

Do you taste Heaven

More than words tell?

Embrace the sunshine,

What do you feel?

Do you experience love

Ever perfect, ever real?

Yes, look and listen closely,

Breathe, feel and taste,

Let no precious moment

Ever go to waste.

For all around you,

In each and every thing,

Are wondrous windows

To my endless blessing.

I love you immeasurably,

So My gifts abound;

Open your eyes to miracles

Unfolding all around.

Listen closely to the sea,

Be still to hear

My sweet eternal symphony

Splashing ever clear.

And as the birds dance,

Delight in what you see,

For these gifts, My child,

Open your eyes to Me.

Blessed are you when you open your eyes to Jesus’ treasures! How do you celebrate His glorious gifts?

Harvesting Low-Hanging Fruit

Low-Hanging Fruit

Image courtesy dan at www.freedigitalphotos.net

Purposeful Pathway is the haven for faith-based entrepreneurs. Part of my mission is equipping faith-based businesses with information that is practical, actionable and Scriptural.

The theme of this post is harvesting low-hanging fruit!

Autumn is officially here, and it is a glorious time of year! The leaves are aflame with color. The winds refresh the soul. The clear blue skies sing of God’s glory.

Fall activities, too, are in full swing. One of my favorite is apple-picking. I feel wonderfully connected to the season as I harvest apples in aromatic orchards.

I have a choice when I partake in the picking. I can either climb high on the ladder or simply pick the low-hanging fruit. Fun as it may be to climb, it is often easiest to pick the apples on low-hanging branches. Yet how often do we do just this in our businesses? How often do we stop long enough to see the low-hanging fruit before us?

Below are seven steps for picking low-hanging fruit in a faith-based business:

Commence the process with your clients. Past and current clients are rich sources of new business and referrals. In light of this, schedule time to regularly connect with past and current clients. When speaking with them, devote time and energy to discovering what they really need. This involves deep, intentional listening. “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”(James 1:19 NIV) If you know you can fill their needs, present an offering to them with a special savings or limited-time bonus.
Reward your referrers. Ask for referrals actively and reward your referrers generously! Referrals allow us to reap fruit quickly in our businesses, yet this is an often overlooked practice. Initially we can feel “salesy” when asking for referrals. Yet, as in all things, practice makes perfect. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9 NIV) Practice asking for referrals consistently. Remember that in doing so you could potentially transform lives. The goal of our faith-based businesses is to bring God-centered transformation, so do not be ashamed to ask for business – and, specifically, for referrals. Be sure to reward your referrers; send a gift and a thank-you note. Referrers are treasures, so be sure to treat them as such!
Take the stage…and speak! Speaking is a wonderful way to exhibit your expertise. When developing your speech, begin with the end result in mind. What offer are you going to present? Build your speech around this offer by giving a taste of the transformational services you provide. Employ story-telling in your speaking, as stories engage the audience and trigger emotions. Develop a story with complex characters, suspense, challenges and transformations. Create your engaging story and your compelling offer…and start looking for speaking venues that attract your ideal clients!
Make an offer in a newsletter. Stay engaged with your contacts, clients and following with an opt-in newsletter. If you do not already offer a valuable gift on your web site, create one as soon possible; you can offer this valuable gift in exchange for a name and email address. In sending a regular newsletter, you will build relationships through strategic email campaigns.
Invite people to work with you in all you do. Share about your complimentary consultations, for example, on your blog posts, your email signature line, your outgoing voice message, your social media posts, your web site, and your business cards. Remember: do not feel “salesy” in so doing, as you are in the business of transforming lives! If you attract and transform even one client from this practice, your efforts are more than worthwhile.
Write love letters. Yes, love letters. No, not romantic love letters, but hand-written letters in which you express your gratitude for the relationship. In your “love letters” you can offer an opportunity to do business or you can ask for a referral. In this day and age of electronic communication, a hand-written letter can be treasured. It is a powerful way to build connection and to generate business.
Do a marketing marathon. Go through all your contacts in your email, phone, client folders and social media. Move systematically through these contacts and start connecting with each person. Ask each individual if there is anyone they know who needs your services; highlight your special limited-time promotion.

Bonus Tip: Ask God for His perfect guidance regarding your next step in harvesting low-hanging fruit. He is the Source of all wisdom and knowledge, and He is the perfect Guide for your every purposeful step.

I encourage you to start implementing these steps, as you will be able to harvest soon your low-hanging fruit. I realize some of these practices can feel uncomfortable, but “practice” these practices to become “perfect” in them. The more you are comfortable with harvesting low-hanging fruit, the more you will be comfortable with promoting your services overall. This will impact your business on every level…not to mention countless lives! After all, we enroll others not to serve ourselves but rather to serve them!

So embrace confidence, move out of your comfort zone and start harvesting low-hanging fruit from a space of love!

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” ~ 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 NIV

If you need help with this powerful process, I invite you to attract your ideal clients and powerfully boost your business over the next 40 days! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. I have organized my knowledge and experiences in business into an implementable 40-day series of actionable daily steps, instructional videos and powerful worksheets.

If you need a serious boost in business, I encourage you to take the next step by visiting Purposeful Pathway Business Academy today!

Let’s pray. O True Vine, in You we grow and prosper. In You we enjoy life, indeed life abundant. You are the One who makes the seeds grow. We ask for Your blessing upon our businesses; we request Your favor as we harvest low-hanging fruit; we implore Your grace as we seek to glorify You. Lead us every moment of every day, every step of our purposeful pathway. It’s in Jesus’ Name that we pray. Amen.

Biz Tip: Rejoicing in Rejection

Image courtesy Sura Nualpradid at www.freedigitalphotos.net

Purposeful Pathway is a haven for faith-based entrepreneurs. Part of my mission is equipping faith-based businesses with information that is practical, actionable and Scriptural.

The theme of this post is rejoicing in rejection!

We’ve all been there. Perhaps a book manuscript was turned down. A potential client does not move forward. We are not picked for a project.

There’s no way around it. Rejection happens. And, strong as we may be, rejection can sting. For good reason too: God wired us to want to belong. He designed us to desire love. He created us to crave companionship and community.

Yet our healthy distaste of rejection can turn into an unhealthy discouragement. So how can we flip disfavor to favor? How can we rejoice in rejection?

Here are seven steps to rejoice in rejection in order to boost a faith-based business:

Accept that rejection happens. No matter how beautiful, kind, godly, gifted and loving you are, rejection will happen. So, when it does happen, remember that it is not personal but rather inevitable. Simple as this step may seem, it is the powerful foundation for rejoicing in rejection.
Dig deeper. Examine the particular rejection. Could it have stemmed from miscommunication? Misaligned interests? In digging deeper, you can determine the source of the rejection. Very often what we experience as rejection is nothing more than not experiencing a good fit. A pair of shoes can be absolutely beautiful and exquisitely made, yet these shoes will not fit every pair of feet. In digging deeper we uncover the reality…which, more often than not, is not true rejection.
Look upon the Lord. No one was more rejected than Jesus. “He was despised and rejectedby men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3) Rejection is a remarkable opportunity to unite your suffering with Jesus’ that you may also know His joy. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) Remember also that, no matter how rejected you may be by man, you are loved limitlessly by God. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Ask God to reveal the purpose of the rejection. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whohave been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) If you encounter rejection, it follows that God allowed it for your highest good. Prayerfully request enlightenment regarding the purpose of this rejection. Perhaps it exists to lead you in another direction? To protect you from harm? To heighten your awareness? If God does not reveal the specifics, trust His perfect way to experience peace. “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” (Isaiah 26:3)
What is the remarkable resolution? Trials are the perfect pruners. “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” (John 15:2) Painful as trials may be, they ultimately produce more fruit for our Father. What can you do to turn your rejection into a remarkable blessing? Can you strengthen your skills? Practice your persistence? Pursue a different venture? Extend your comfort zone? Give glory to God by rejoicing in trial? Be chiseled more into the likeness of Christ? The closing door of rejection is, on the other side, the opening door to new growth and experience.
Walk with wisdom. With the wisdom gained from step five, move forward to convert the rejection to a remarkable blessing. Document specific action steps, walk them out accordingly and document in your journal the fruit of your labor. “I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.” (Proverbs 4:11-12)
Rejoice in rejection. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) God commands us to rejoice always. He would not command this if it were not possible. Rejection is a wonderful opportunity to commune more closely with Christ, dig more deeply for answers and to rejoice more radiantly in Jesus! Remember, God not only loves and accepts you, He delights in His relationship with you. So, yes, rejoice in rejection – and, even more so, in your relationship with the Lord!

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 12:4)

I am excited for you as you transform obstacles to opportunities in your business!

Would you like to boost your business through a proven system over the next 40 days? There is no need to reinvent the wheel! I have organized my knowledge and experiences in business into an implementable 40-day series of actionable daily steps, instructional videos and powerful worksheets.

Let’s pray. Lord God, You who were rejected and despised by men, thank You for allowing us to rejoice in rejection. Thank You for converting our crosses to crowns. Thank You for transforming our trials to triumphs for Your glory. We choose to rejoice in rejection, Remarkable and Radiant Son, for we know You work all things for our highest good. We love You with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength. It’s in Jesus’ Name that we pray. Amen.

Poem: Because You Love Me

Image courtesy Natara at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“We love because he first loved us.” ~ 1 John 4:19

Smiling so wide,

Singing so free,

Delighting so deep

In Your love for me,

Dancing for joy,

Clapping with praise,

Marveling Your grace

Abounding always,

Sharing with love,

Speaking of You,

“Jesus” beats in my heart

In all I do.

Why this song,

Why this sweet delight

Filling my heart

Through day and night?

Because You, my Jesus,

Love me so;

Everywhere I look

Your love does show.

In the birds flying,

In the waves crashing,

In the rainbow stretching,

In the stream splashing,

Yes, everything ‘round

Shows me Your love

Flowing forever

From Heaven above.

So I dance for joy,

I clap with praise,

I marvel Your grace

Now and always.

Yea, I smile so wide,

I sing so free,

Because Jesus, O Jesus,

You love me.

We love because He loved us first. How do you express your love?
