NetKiEnt Inspiration

Every day, I get to speak with people who want to improve their lives by finding their next career opportunity. Often these conversations gravitate into them sharing their dreams and their fears of those obstacles that keep them from accomplishing their goals. I am always humbled that they would share intimate details usually shared only with close confidants. I am also amazed that many of them don't recognize their own genius or don’t move forward with their goals due to multiple reasons; usually, all based on fear.    If this is your story or something similar, then this post is for you.  What do you believe or what do you tell yourself that is keeping you from your purpose or those things that you were created to do?     What did you fail to accomplish in 2018 or previous years that while it is your “dream” or “calling” you never got around to doing it because you were afraid?  What voices are telling you that you can’t do it; it’s...

Children at play. What dream did you have when you were a child?  Continuing my theme of helping people with their purpose this year, I wanted to add a snippet from a book I started years ago and that I am currently working on. Will 2018 be the year you finally start working on your "purpose?" “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.  They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  In those days when you pray, I will listen.  If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me.  I will be found by you.” says the Lord. - Jeremiah 29: 11-12 (NLT) Do you remember when you were a child and you knew exactly what you wanted to do when you grew up? However, as you grew older, there were life-changing events that impacted your decision so much you changed your career choice.  Those life-changing events could have been a death in a family, an abusive or embarrassing situation or a comment f...

I felt as if I was spinning my wheels.  At the beginning of this year, my goal was to understand and operate within my purpose.  I knew that it would require a great deal of faith, scary faith.  But it really didn’t matter because I was at the end of myself, tired of doing the same thing with limited results.  I had to release control and give it over to my creator who knew what he had purposed for me. I am reminded of that in one of my favorite bible verse: Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) – For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God had something he wanted me to do.  The fear of stepping in the unknown was far less than the fear of not pleasing God or fulfilling my purpose.  I just couldn’t be satisfied as I was. I knew that I couldn’t go on the way I have been.  Sure, I accomplished a lot of the thing things I set out to do, but God had another plan....

Hebrews 11:1 – Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:6 – But without faith, it is impossible to please Him for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.   As I reviewed and bid my final farewell to 2016, I was amazed at my growth from the spiritual, personal and professional perspectives.  2015 and 2016 were both very challenging years for me. I faced decisions that presented themselves as critical crossroads for me. I had to end relationships that turned out to be destructive. I also had to face the realities of many my age with senior care for my aging mother while trying to navigate my business. I also had to decide on whether or not to continue the business or to go back to working for a company.  The challenge was that my prior profession would require 50-60 hour weeks that I would now be unable to manage as I cared for my mother....

As I sit here and begin my first entry into this post, I realize that the true reason why I even started this blog was to authentically share and encourage my readers. This blog actually originated back in 2007 on one of my earlier websites.  It wasn't named NetKiEnt Inspiration, but the goal has always been the same; to inspire and help motivate others to fulfill their purpose in life. Over the years, as web companies changed, I became busy, focused on my management career or other interests, the blog fell by the wayside  However, I kept a copy of most of my posts, of which I will share from time to time. Even though the blog fell by the wayside, I never stopped writing. Pursuing my business, writing, speaking and helping others pursue their purpose helps me fulfill my purpose. About Me. I should start first by introducing myself. My name is Nanette Kirk, my company is NetKi Enterprises, LLC. We specialize in professional resume writing/career services and motivatio...
