Hey Ladies

By Carmen Ray

It’s our Spring issue!! Wow, this year is flying by! Be Well Magazine is here for it and ready to take flight with you... because I know our worth!!

So, I must ask—Are you ready for first class seating in your business or are you
content in cheap seats with your “buddy pass.”

Here’s the deal, ladies, your buddy pass seats will no longer be enough. No more going to the flight desk asking, “Any availability yet?” The buddy pass seats are screaming to everyone who needs YOUR inspiration, your product, or your service, “I’ll take whatever I can get, whenever I can get it”; sacrificing self worth to reach my destination.

​As an entrepreneur for over 35 years, here is what I know—how you get to your destination and who you’re riding with matters.

No more buddy passes. Let’s be intentional, focused and positioned for our first class seating.

Our Contributors in this issue have delivered a collection of messages, reminding us that our business journey is about posture, confidence, positioning and knowing our worth.

First class flight passengers often remind me that people are always watching, even if they never make eye contact with those passing by. I watch people glance over at them but I never see them look up to
watch people passing by. Hmmmm I wonder why?

FIRST CLASS IS FOCUSED!

What do people see when they look at your brand, your proposition, or offer in business? Do they see cheap seats or you settling for low hanging fruit in the form of lackluster services and products that present like gimmicks? Are you compromising your value?

I also notice the first class passenger socializing, reading something of value, or exchanging with others in first class. They are present in their immediate area. They know their worth and will schedule a different flight before settling for the cheap seats. They make first class a LIFESTYLE. THIS is how we must be in business. Work that job while building your business, if necessary, and find strategic opportunities to collaborate while building.

Speaking of First Class, enjoy the debut of our Be Well Traveled section as we highlight travel advisors, upcoming vacation packages and our 2022 Be Well Retreat this fall.

I am beyond excited that you all will meet Anita Bates and She’s Happy Hair, and see firsthand how Anita’s mindset exemplifies what moving from Coach to First Class looks like in business.
