Do you want to know what it takes to create a purpose led brand? Sisters Keyondra Lockett and Kimberly Lockett share their experience of transitioning from #1 Billboard Artist and Celebrity Stylist, respectively to now the owners of the clothing brand Jolie Noire. They share how representation was so important to them in fashion that it was the catalyst behind the brand.  The idea behind the brand/statement Jolie Noire, is that black is beautiful. Jolie Noire stands for Pretty Black in French. We are primed to think dark colors (specifically black) are negative and light colors are positive. In an effort to level the playing field, we're working to shape the minds of onlookers and change the meaning, emotions, and values associated with black. Color is something that doesn't come pre labeled, we label it... At Jolie Noire we choose to believe that black, like other colors, is beautiful!  Their leading scripture is: I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. -Psalm 139:14  Purpose Tools: Join the Purpose to Profit sessions: https://carlageorge1.simplero.com/copy-of-carla-george-purpose-strategist  Jolie Noire Website: www.joliexnoire.com Jolie Noire Instagram: www.instagram.com/joliexnoireapparel  Connect with me at: Instagram: www.instagram.com/pushedintopurpose_ Email: pushedintopurposepodcast@gmail.com  Website: www.iamcarlageorge.com

Ep. 67 | SZN 2: Purpose to Profit - How to be unapologetically you in your business with Shinjini Das

One question that I get asked often is "Is it okay for Christians to profit from their purpose?" And the short answer is absolutely yes! But of course my challenge is convincing Christians to dispel the belief that Christians cannot be financially successful. In this episode I address 3 mindset blocks that are keeping Christian entrepreneurs from succeeding in their business and counteract that with 3 mindset changes you can use to help you flourish in business as a Christian entrepreneur. First we set the stage with this mantra developed from the definition of 'purpose' and 'profit': The reason why you do what you do is to have an advantageous gain to benefit the kingdom. If you are ready to take your business to the next level apply to work with me in my Purpose to Profit: Business Deep Dive Strategy Program. https://carlageorge1.simplero.com/copy-of-carla-george-purpose-strategist 

Ep. 66 | SZN 2: Is it okay to make a profit from my purpose?

We are in SZN 2!! This season we are going beyond our povot to exploring how we can turn our purpose into profit. So last season we talked about how we can Pivot into Purpose which ended with the Pushed Into Purpose Summit that addressed how we pivot in our faith, relationship, careers, business and mindset. It was amazzzinng!!! If you missed it no worries it is still available by checking out the link below. On this episode I give a brief summary about the summit and then answer the question...now what?? Now you've made that pivot we are in the season of executing and seeing exactly how our purpose can benefit the kingdom by benefiting others and ourselves. Listen to how I do a case analysis on Jesus' last days on earth and how he carried out his purpose on purpose! When it is your time to execute do it with the right strategy and intentionality. Many times we just want to move ahead with no guidance and no strategy. And while yes this will get you going it won't really keep you going. So what is your action plan? I formed what I term 'Jesus' 10 part strategy' to help you move into your new season. Which steps will you implement right away?

Ep. 65 SZN 2: Purpose Into Profit - I've Pivoted, now what?

I thought it was appropriate to do a rewind of this episode as we come to the end of the first quarter of 2021. Research shows that 80% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by mid February. I want to do a pulse check with you to ensure we are at the stage of achieving our goals versus planning our goals. I address 3 steps to ensure we are goal achievers: 1. Create your purpose statement 2. Take small steps in executing your goals 3. Create boundaries around your goals  Purpose Tools: Register for the Pushed Into Purpose Summit: https://carlageorge1.simplero.com/page/193191

Ep. 64 |Making pivots in business and personal life with Judy Weber

Continuing in our series of Pivot into Purpose, on this episode I am talking with Pastor Candice Lambe about how we can Pivot in our Prayer life when we get taken off track and blind sided. We make pivots in so many areas of our life without recognising that we can and need to make pivots in our prayer life. This discussion was so good that this is a two part episode. Pastor Candice gives godly direction starting out with what prayer is, where to start on our prayer journey and how to go deeper in our prayer life. There is no conversation more important than the one you have with God.  Register for the Pushed Into Purpose Summit: https://carlageorge1.simplero.com/page/193191-virtual-summit-sales-page  Purpose Tools: Website: www.elpcbermuda.com  Pastor Candice's Instagram: www.instagram.com/candicelambe Connect with me at: Instagram: www.instagram.com/pushedintopurpose_ Email: pushedintopurposepodcast@gmail.com  Website: https://carlageorge1.simplero.com   

Ep. 63 | Pivot In our Prayer Life: Part 2 with Pastor Candice Lambe

Do you struggle with pursuing your purpose? Is your purpose unclear? Are you a goal getter that faces obstacles, roadblocks or gets stuck sometimes? I get it and I’ve been there. Trying to please people or meet expectations (of others or your own) can cause you to become paralyzed on pursuing Your purpose because it not longer becomes about what you have been created to do but what you think others expect of you. So if you’re like me you’ve pursued a career that’s unsatisfying or a relationship that’s incompatible or you’ve lost your faith due to outside influences. It’s time to push past that! Welcome to the Pushed Into Purpose Podcast, where your host Carla George will inspire you the Goal Getter to push beyond the fears, challenges and doubts that may arise from time to time and into a life God has purposed for you. Tune in every Monday for a new episode (because here Mondays are the new Fridays!)
