2016 – The Year of Completion
I declare 2016 as “The Year of Completion!” In keeping with tradition for a New Year, I also have a few predictions, expectations and desires for 2016. I predict that: Entrepreneurship will be more greatly influenced by the politics of the youth and women; and many economic engines will be ignited by their direct action to create more accessibility and accountability in the existing systems. I expect that I will attract more clients seeking excellence of service through the Cider Enterprises Business Coaching and Consulting network of partners. I desire that the physical evidence of “Sistah’s Home – The Place of Love in Action!” is manifested here this year.
Disciplined to Win – Part 1
In disciplining Cider Enterprises to win as a Coaching and Consulting Company dedicated to “helping entrepreneurs harness the energy of their ideas,” I have to consistently practice what I preach. Every part of my three-fold business plan requires administrative organization. In each area of the business, I needed to create a significant digital presence. Mind you, I was still thinking in terms of old forms of communication- letters, calls, and memos. Well, technology happened to me too and I discovered far more effective ways to get the word out!
Tech Thursdays Chicago Features Cider Enterprises for Social Media Presence
Cider Enterprises – Business Coaching and Consulting – was the featured business for Social Media Presence, during Tech Thursdays Chicago workshop on October 22, 2015 at Malcolm X College. As owner of Cider Enterprises and the visionary of Sistah’s Home – The Place of Love in Action! I, Claudette Redic, put my ‘Big Girl Panties’ on and authentically stepped to the podium with confidence and the anniversary mantra of Sistah’s Home. I am who I say I am: I am worthy, I am deserving, I am capable, and I am purposed to be of service to me and others.
Graduation Reflections About My Business Development Process
Reflections about my business development process abound during this season of graduations. I am proud to be a graduate of the Sunshine Enterprises Community Business Academy. It confirmed my 2014 affirmation that “I AM more than enough!” and my conviction that “I deserve the best.” Completion dispelled the fears I had erected: I am too old to learn; I might have a hard time adjusting to a rigorous twelve weeks of study; would I be able to apply the information obtained to help myself and others too? And I can proudly declare, “Yes I can!” I practice and apply the things I learned about business for myself first and then with others. You see, I have to walk the talk and now feel fulfilled in getting my own house in order.
Partnerships: Being part of a larger whole for business success
For those of us who are making plans and decisions for 2015, it is necessary to get back to basics in understanding the value of collaborative relationships in all aspects of our life, particularly our business partnerships. Webster defines Partnerships as: (noun) “the state of being partners; and … a relationship between partners.” Further research into the definition best sums it up as “the state of being related to a larger whole.” The concept of being part of a larger whole resonates with me and guides my involvement in community collaborations and business partnerships.
Cider Enterprises’ motto of “harnessing the energy of your ideas to help you reach your desired goals” is lived in real time commitment. The fulfillment of our claim “to help” is based upon the strength of our relationship with partners that are needed to coach and consult business owners. Partnerships are extremely important in helping organizations keep abreast of the latest practices and processes that entrepreneurs need to succeed.
