Out with the Old & In With the New for 2015! I will say that it has been a very interesting year for 2014, a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs- but they were life lessons) that I learned both personally & professionally. I had a chance to say goodbye to some friends & family member, and say hello to some new ones and to hell with others, but it's truly been all good. I want to send a special shout out and say thank you to everyone who has been there through the sunshine and through the storms and to my clients, thank you for coming along for the ride!

I was told by one of my business coaches, Darnyelle A. Jervey (@DarnyelleJervey) that 2015 is the "Year of Promise". At first, I didn't quite understand what she meant by promise, but I had to take my own interpretation to make it work. One promise that I make to myself and my clients and fans is to provide you all with the best services we can offer at Nov8ive Events and also the opportunity to expand our services to you. We had to take a brief break from our blog this Fall/Winter, however there are some exciting activities going on behind the scenes that will provide our customers with additional opportunities to work with us. 

I don't believe in making New Year's Resolutions, I believe in making non-negotiable decisions (another one of Darnyelle-isms). So this year, for 2015, my non-negotiable decision is to make sure that we partner with the right clients, organizations, and individuals to help take the brand of Nov8ive Events & Designs to the top of the chart! My next non-negotiable decision is to complete those tasks/goals/assignments/projects that have been lingering over my head for over 3 years now, it's time to birth those concepts and make them a reality in 2015! It's past time for a win and to also make those dreams and objectives that I created on my vision board a reality. 

So now that I've shared some of my non-negotiable decisions, what are yours for 2015? Feel free to share, and if you don't want to do so publicly, take the time to have a meeting with yourself and write your vision and make it plain! Here's to 2015- the Year of Promise!

When we hear the term "Falling Forward"- what often resonates in our minds are people falling off of a high cliff like this picture above, or falling off of the deep end. Well, since it's September 2014 (the year has gone by fast)- we're right in the middle of the 3rd quarter so its time to Fall Forward and begin planning for the 4th Quarter and 2015. The team at Nov8ive Events & Designs are constantly reviewing our strategies and methods to see what has and has not been working (we highly suggest you do the same in business and in life). As we continue in this entrepreneurial journey, there are 3 key things that we have learned when we talk about building and reviewing a strategy:
1. Have a Vision & Make It Plain - Be sure to write down your goals because if it's not written- it never happened. 
2. Review Your Vision Often- It's important to not only write down your vision or plan, but it's just as important to review it because you can always adjust the plan as time progresses.
3. Be Open to Adjustments- As time progresses and as you achieve your goals, you may need to periodically adjust your vision to make room for a new one. 

So in an effort to help our fans grow their businesses and create their vision in 2014, we're offering a special treat for those who have either signed up for our e-Newsletter or reading this blog.
