Will You Take One Step?

March 7, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

It’s Monday, and today many of us return to full or part-time jobs outside the home. Others are entrepreneurs who are running their own business, or “passion-preneurs” striving to do the work they love.

Regardless of your work status, motivation is paramount.

What’s driving you in the direction of success – and how badly do you want it?

Take One Step

Here’s a suggestion: Today and every day moving forward, take at least one step toward achieving your goals.

(Make sure it’s a tangible step!)

If you start today and hold fast until December 31, you will have taken 299 steps.

299!

Hold yourself accountable. Each day, jot down the step you took.

When December 31 rolls around, we’ll be able to review the year and see just how far we’ve come.

Shucks, in 299 days we can conquer the world!

#320| The Definition Of True Success

November 16, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

The definition of true success, per Maya Angelou:

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

Based on this definition, I’m batting 1000 – how about you?

#82| Strive For Excellence

March 23, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

When we think of Oprah and her successes, knowing she attributes her determination to strive for excellence as the determining factor of not only what she achieved, but for how she was received.

Yes, in the world, school and in the workplace we will encounter all the “isms” – racism, sexism, ageism – all of those.

Even though we encounter the “isms,” we don’t have to allow them to define us.

How we carry ourselves, the goals we set, the way we perform – we determine the quality of our delivery.

We make the choice to strive for excellence; therefore, we make the choice to succeed.

Here’s to Oprah – and here’s to excellence!

#75| The Task At Hand

March 16, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”

Every one of us currently has something designated as “the task at hand.”

Let’s get it done!

#58| No Competition

February 27, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So, who’s your best friend?

Is it someone from your childhood, or possibly someone from high school or college?

Did you meet your best friend at church, or on the job?

When you have a true friend, you don’t have to worry about competing with him or her.

There should be no competition, because you want the absolute best for them – and you know they want the same for you.

You can share your hopes and dreams without fear; cheer them on as they reach for success.

There’s no competition, because “they got you” – and you have them.

Inspiration Daily – Day 2

January 2, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Welcome to The Swirl World Inspiration Daily – Day Two!

I know New Year’s Day was yesterday, yet I figured we’d get started on the New Year in earnest on Day Two.

We’ve shaken off the glitter and confetti, and some even managed to go back to work today.

The New Year has officially begun, and yesterday was the day we actually started writing our 2015 pages.

What do you plan to write this year?

What will you write today?

Entrepreneur & CEO Shun Jackson-Shell

July 2, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Recently on the podcast I had the pleasure to chat with Shun Jackson-Shell, CEO of ShunJack, a virtual assistance and small business consulting practice. Through ShunJack, she provides a range of services that include administrative business support, website development, social media management, and graphics and designs.

Shun has sterling credentials. She graduated twice from Dallas Baptist University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Masters of Arts in Management.

Currently, Shun is just 5 classes away from completing her MBA at Texas A&M-Commerce. Woot! Woot!

Through her education at Dallas Baptist University and Texas A&M-Commerce, Shun has learned the true meaning of what it takes to serve others. In the future, she plans to use a portion of her company profits to support causes that cater to the families of U.S. veterans and single mothers.

If you’re a Black woman entrepreneur, you’ll find this show particularly interesting. Shun is very transparent about her journey, and speaks candidly about the mental processes she undertook to position herself for success.

Near the end of the podcast, Shun shares an interesting perspective on Black women Swirling, and talks about her experiences with Swirling in The Big D – Dallas, TX.
