Jo inspires businesswomen to excel
“Humans have dominion over earth and it is up to each individual to bring about change.”
SECUNDA – Ms Jo Hawkins captured the minds of women of the South African Council for Business Women with her talk on building relationships and growing their business.
The meeting took place on 21 July at Lake Umuzi.
Ms Hawkins said it is vital to create a legacy by leaving your footprints and knowing that every person is unique.
“You were not created to fit in and you must understand that you are human by keeping it real, fun and amazing.
“Stay real while building your brand and keep in mind what you want to be remembered for.”
Ms Hawkins also said you must leave something of value in order for your grandchildren to be inspired by the person you were.
“We are living in a time of pinnacle disasters, such as violence, war and earthquakes.
“Society has to come up with solutions or create another way to tap into their God-given power.
“Humans have dominion over earth and it is up to each individual to bring about change.”
The Reticular Activity System (RAS) is a filter that helps every human has to cope with their surroundings.
“We filter out things we do not want to think about.”
One person might perceive something as negative, whereas another person hears the same sentence, but only hears the positive words.
Ms Hawkins explained: “Vasco da Gama and his fleet sailed into America.
“The Indian tribes were astonished as to how they got there, because they could not see the ship.
“It was not part of their RAS.
“The world is seen through our own limitless vision.”
She also said that according to studies done on electromagnetic fields, if the heart and brain agree on a topic, you have the power to change it.
“Scientists found that a probe from space picks up magnetic waves from earth.
“On 9/11 the waves changed and it was found that collective emotion of humans have an influence on these magnetic waves.”
Ms Hawkins said that mankind is so blind to the power in their hands and that if people are in a better emotional state, they have the power to change their surroundings.
“Learn to be more upbeat, positive and in control and then you will be able to channel positive emotion to others.
“We can be powerful if we decide to change our pattern of thinking.
“People matter, become a sisterhood and uplift one another.”
