We survived snowmageddon. It was a regular winter storm but what we didn’t know is how unprepared our electricity grid was for it. Lights were out and to make matters worse, plumbing was affected and caused flooding to homes and businesses across the state of Texas. I wasn’t able to return to a full day of work until Wednesday of this week and I felt every piece of the delay. SoulProsper Radio couldn’t update shows, I couldn’t record the SMG Report which was supposed to be in video format and we were unsure if our power would remain on.
Once we were at a consistent point of power, I got to work. Because of our week, I was in no mood to record so I did what came natural. I started writing and after hours of editing, a lost edit (it completely disappeared) and a few hours of sleep, I’m pleased to present this edition of The SMG Report. Do I hope you like it? I just hope you read it! I’ve compiled many stories and included them in this edition exclusively. These stories would normally be on our website, but I’m putting them in this edition as I try out a new format and formula for what we do at SMG. Thanks for reading and as always, send your feedback to us at: news@soulprospermedia.com. I can’t wait to hear from you! —‘Fred

We would hate to keep you waiting, so dive in to this month’s edition and be sure to send your feedback to us at: news@soulprospermedia.com.

Vision Boards Galore & More
If the moms weren’t motivated when they came, they certainly were upon leaving. The morning began with a rousing session of inspiration by Latoyia Dennis, Tiffany Fulcher and Sherilyn Smith who presented Cheryl Roseborough who is a vision board genius.
The ladies learned about not only creating vision boards, but crafting follow through plans. One alarming statistic raised in the early session was the percentage of follow through. It remains very low and the ladies were encouraged to find accountability partners to help guide them through the process of accomplishing their vision board.
At lunch, inspiration was the main course! With a panel of winning women and Dish Nation’s Rock-T the panel tackled a number of difficult issues from varying perspectives. From Kelly Price’s new normal, Elayna Fernandez’ journey from Central America to the West Coast and Rock-T’s male perspective as a single parent, nothing was off the table in conversation.
Mena Freeman helped the ladies understand the importance of financial awareness and Michelle Thornton, the ultimate BOSS chic schooled the ladies on the importance of achieving balance at home and at work.
That’s a Tough Question!
Kelly Price offered sage wisdom to the ladies in the room encouraging them to eliminate the phrase: “almost doesn’t count”. She intimated to the crowd that she as an artist and business woman on the go, she regularly battled guilt. That was until she came to this realization: “where I fall short, God gives the increase, when I didn’t have all the answers, I had to depend on God…I learned that God is never blindsided even when we are. “He already has the answer to the question, the solution to the problem and already made the way of escape. That’s what happens when you allow your life to be orchestrated by Him”.
The room was charged as the panel spoke life into the atmosphere using their real world experience and wisdom! There’s no doubt these moms weren’t motivated as they returned home that day.
