What Is Restoration, Really?It’s not just returning to what was — it’s reclaiming what’s been divinely preserved for youRestoration is a promise of wholeness, not just replacementBiblically, restoration often comes with interest (Job 42:10, Joel 2:25)“Restoration isn’t just about recovering what you lost — it’s about receiving more than you expected.”💡 2. Acknowledge the Loss — Don’t Skip That PartIt’s okay to grieve time wasted, missed opportunities, even money mismanagedBut don’t get stuck there — acknowledge it, then release it“God doesn’t just restore what we lost — He heals who we were when we lost it.”💡 3.

Z = Zeal, A = Anointing, U = Uniqueness, C = Confidence, E = Elevation.  ZAUCE is An Anointed Swaq, that Godly Confidence..  Zauce is when you walk into a room and don't shrink...not because of ego but because of assignment.  DEFINITION OF SALES: Lady Dar definition - the sacred act of serving others.  Sales is a service, exchange, persuasion, and or multiplication.  Reference 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.I'm talking all things Confidence.  Confidence = Currency.  When you show up, offer with confidence, more than likely you will get the sale.  Confidence sells before your product does.Speak up about your offer.Sales come when you stop waiting for permission and start walking in your ZAUCE.Show up visibly -wear your brand, speak your message, post your product.Speak with clarity - be clear about your offer, who it's for and what results does it create?Serve with energy - the energy you put out is what will bring people in.Believe in the transformation your product or service will provide.Shift from SELLING to SHARING - then SERVE.Sales is not a hustle - it's a HOLY HANDOFF*Please rate this episode and share with another sister you care about.Thanks so much for listening.Lady Dar!Don't forget to follow BWAB on Instagram Subscribe to the community www.blackwomanaboutbusiness.comJoin the Build Her Be Her monthly membership www.buildherbeherfemalecollective.comSupport the showWhen you build her, you be her!Black Woman About Businesswww.blackwomanaboutbusiness.comInstagram:  www.instagram.com/blackwomanaboutbusinessBuild Her, Be Her Monthly Membership:https://f-e-m-a-l-e-collectives.mn.co/share/jnqRZZvAFZtm7BhM?utm_source=manual

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I talk about you being the brand. How building a business is more than just logos, font and designs. It's about how you show up, your energy, your message, being consistent. My intention is to glorify God, serve others and make millions but I can't do either if I don't align myself and my business up with God and walk in the identity in which He called me to. I share how when I started my business, "I did all the things" but not all the right things. My goal and desire for you is to understand, You are the Brand and I want you to know clarity beats aesthetics. That don't mean don't make your business shine with the beautiful logos and designs, it clearly means make your message clear.Thanks for listening to Build Her, Be Her | Black Woman About Business Podcast.  If this episode blessed you, share it with a sister who's building too.  Tag me on instagram @Blackwomanaboutbusiness.  And don't forget you don't just build a business sis, you become the woman who leads one.   Thank you for choosing Build Her Be Her | BWAB for your listening pleasures on today!  See you next time!Let's stay connected!www.blackwomanaboutbusiness.com - grab your free copy of The Build Her Blueprint https://www.blackwomanaboutbusiness.com/_files/ugd/627ce2_ddae1c9a5ad04e258980a44f04fc4c67.pdfSupport the showWhen you build her, you be her!Black Woman About Businesswww.blackwomanaboutbusiness.comInstagram:  www.instagram.com/blackwomanaboutbusinessBuild Her, Be Her Monthly Membership:https://f-e-m-a-l-e-collectives.mn.co/share/jnqRZZvAFZtm7BhM?utm_source=manual
