Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

Don’t wait for perfection

“Perfection causes delays and procrastination. You will never deliver if you wait for perfection.” Dan Miller
What are you putting off doing till you have it perfect? Learn all the rules, info etc? Just do it and figure it out along the way.

If talking to people about your business, just talk….,you can’t say the wrong thing to the right person….and the more you talk n practice, the better you will get.

If it’s cleaning n decluttering your home, just do it, don’t look to perfect it (this is one of my struggles! Lol) I out in my calendar/schedule 15 months minutes every day, where I focus on just that….some days it’s more, but I find when I just do a little each time I get less overwhelmed)

If it’s writing your book (a same thing, I’m in the middle of my 2nd book) just writing n focusing 15 min a day, helps with not getting frustrated n overwhelmed….if you get ideas n can write more, great! Do it! But breaking up into smaller spurts helps).

If it’s personal development n reading a book, same thing, do some, every day! After a year it adds up!!!

Same goes for anything else! Just do it, and do it ‘some’ every day.

Who are you? Not what do you do, or what do you sell, but WHO ARE YOU? Do you know? Do you want to know?

They say “people buy people, not websites” “people buy people, not products” — right? So, why do you want people to *buy you*?

What are YOU offering that others that sell the same product/service you do, don’t offer?

HOW are you different from your competition?

Or HOW can you ENHANCE the marketplace to even HELP your competition? (why help them? because what goes around comes around, and the more you help others, the more it WILL come back to you) It is a *Universal Law* and God made our Universe 🙂

What are you doing in building your *personal brand*? Internally and Externally – it is who you have become or are becoming, because of *your story* — so it is unique to you, not anyone else, because you are the only one that has lived or is living your story.

You want to be your authentic and expressive self, that when you speak, and move, it transfers to others, your belief, your value, your story, your *you*……and that is how you will *connect* with others.

Are you tracking your sales?

My sales stats for May:

Are you monitoring your sales stats?

Do you know where your customers are coming from?

Are you getting repeat customers?

If you’re not tracking, how do you know?
I can show you how to effectively get repeat sales and referrals from clients and customers and retain n keep those customers n clients that you worked so hard to get.
I have done this for 23 years in my web n graphic design business, and I’ve been teaching, coaching n training others to do it in their business for 13 years with amazing results.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal in to a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
-Melody Beattie

What are you doing to unlock the fullness of gratitude into your life? When you show and share gratitude, there is no room for depression, no room for hatred, no room for bitterness.

Do your wants match your values?

How many times do you *go after* something…..because you are *looking* for that *fulfillment*……but *it* doesn’t match your *values*?????

Dating – you go out w someone – just to have someone to hold, or just for that companionship, etc but you know they are not right for you or your long term relationship.

Eating – you go get something to eat – just to have that thing you were craving…but you know it is not right for you on your path to the health you want to achieve.

Watching/listening – you watch something on tv, the internet, listening to the radio,ipod etc…just to have something to watch – or thought, well just this once….but it does not match you values, of if you had anyone close to you – watching what you watched/listened, that you’d want them to see what it was, or that it provided value to you in your life to educate you or lift you up – or wasted your time….

What else can you add to this list?
#WeAllHaveChoices

Transparent

I know many times I’m pretty ‘transparent’ publicly….nothing to hide, I’m merely a sinner trying to do my best, every day, n fail many times…..and sometimes I’m criticized or warned for being so transparent….but sometimes I just feel it’s needed, and getting private notes like this…..blesses my soul n if I can help in any way to make a difference for good…..it’s all worth it
