The Phoenix Affect

Quick story: a friend came to me who is the CFO of a $400M a year company… the first thing she said was, “Phoenix…. I hope I’m not wasting your time… but we need you.”

See she’s aware that I’m making a shift in the Phoenix Affect and ONLY taking on consulting clients and servicing those who want to join our Phoenix Affect University. No more direct to business projects. Lucky for her… they needed what I still provide, strategic communications consulting. However for many others I have simply stated, “I don’t have the capacity.”

That’s my new way to say NO. I’m being thrown projects and that’s a blessing but NO. I have leveled up my work. I’m also honoring my need to rest. I know I have the skills to pay the bills but sometimes you outgrow certain work. I’m more than willing to SHOW you how to do it yourself though.

If you teach a man to fish…. You know the rest.

Dm me your email if you want to join the free newsletter that upskills your life and your career. It’s real out here and the folks that are thriving are doing so by feeding themselves high vibrational content.

Everyone deserves a winning season, even snakes… even those you know that they have done some dirty things… life and karma will eventually get them… fakeness is not sustainable long term. Snakes don’t change, they’ll bite the wrong person one day and it’ll be over. Move on with your life, don’t worry about them. Let your wounds heal from the bite. Release the PAIN of the moment. Take the lesson and fly.

My bandwidth for people and work is very low right now. So I’m honoring the space I’m in, resting as much as needed. I’m getting ready to take on a large opportunity soon and need all the space and energy to press through to it. Times are changing again… I’m listening more than ever for what’s right for me, and I hope you are too.

They… and you know who they are… are attacking progressive prosecutors across the country… those who are making it hard for them to throw the book at young Black kids, while also amplifying the policing in our communities and divesting in our education. The gains we have made in the last ten years in particular are being attacked. They feel that we are getting too free, that we are gaining too much… they are trying to give this woman 40 years for taking money from her own retirement account (something countless people have done) to fund purchasing a home during the Pandemic. They couldn’t find real dirt so they are head hunting on what they can. Please sign this petition and share this. They need just a few more signatures.

I’m asking you to care about something that WILL impact you and particularly Black children and men in the criminal system/slave system over time.

Pardon for Attorney Marilyn Mosby WHY ARE THEY TARGETING ATTORNEY MOSBY? Leo Wise began targeting Attorney Mosby under the Trump Administration. This is no coincidence. Wise was known for profiling and targeting Black elected officials since he worked on Capitol Hill where he hyper-focused on cases involving Congressional Black Cauc...

Life is amazing! I love that I have the courage to talk to strangers, because of it, I’ve been able to open doors for myself and many others. Talk to people, especially in places like the airport.

Just a moment of reflection: My real internal flex is that my name is being spoken in international rooms, in embassies, in universities, and that I have surpassed and passed up things that may have looked good in the moment but were not for me long term… they weren’t apart of the global vision… this includes relationships/marriages, jobs, TV shows, brand deals, friendships, family relationships, and just general business situations. I have always had a global view for my impact and it’s steadily happening. I have made some wrong moves but I am OK where I am so ultimately the moves were OK. The best part of it all is that I am still growing and Spirit and my ancestors are still guiding me to my best self. Along the way, thankfully, I am grateful that I am living my ideas of success.

What are your ideas of success? At what point will you know you have it?

iPhone has a new emoji for my name… don’t come for me unless I send for you… 🙅🏽‍♀️😂

We are... And we can. 🔆

It's so crazy how easily people can drain you. Folks are not mindful of how their words or actions equate misalignment. I need to teach a whole course on how to be better clients... Because some folks just choke the life out of a process that is supposed to be beautiful.
I take pride in being a great client when I have to receive services from someone. I need peace and flow around my creations... because after all... They are MY creations.

Don't get comfortable with the discomfort of being broke... You'll stay there.

Are you ready to turn your dreams into reality and break into the commercial acting world? 🎬✨

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I shared a special moment with you all – my very first speaking commercial! 📺 It was such an incredible experience to see myself on TV, playing the role of a newly engaged nurse. And guess what? It was a national spot! 🌟

But before I dive into all the details, let me give you a bit of background on how I got started in the industry...

I decided that I needed more money, it was simple. A friend of mine suggested that I start acting "you are versatile and wel spoken." So I started researching, found an agency, put all my pieces together and jumped in feet first!

It paid off! I stayed in the industry for about 8 years. I occasionally receive an audition request from my agent back home in Colorado but I have since retired from the work. I cashed out, had a great time doing the work and I still receive texts and emails of people who STILL see my face on commercials across the country.

Now I want to help you break into the industry. Maybe you want to do it full time, maybe you want to do it as a side career like myself, either way my eBook will get you started!

Being an on camera talent ALWAYS helped my personal PR as well. Businesses figured if national brands trusted me, they should too. Hit the link in the bio to learn more.

Lights. Camera. Action!

Kindness, community, and love goes a long way. I am excited to commune with like-minded spirits in Orlando, where we are going to have an excellent time during the "My Sister's Keeper" and "My Brother's Keeper" conference. Topics about relationships, connection with God, financial growth, and business will be covered. I will be giving my 2024 signature talk "The Spirit of Business: Aligning Yourself for Entrepreneurship."

Business 101: Charge for the expertise... Not the time...

I have to increase the price of my strategy sessions... I give people their whole life and direction backed by my years of experience and intuition. Then they go and try to pay others to execute what I've taught them vs paying my team. Sometimes they fail at ex*****on and some times they kill it! Either way, they get the blueprint way cheaper than they would elsewhere.

2024 is already teaching me to refine the process and charge what we are worth. Phoenix Affect...

Btw: the Phoenix Affect University is coming soon. I'm so excited!! We are condescending our PR University and all of my and a few other distinguished guest's expertise under one umbrella for a low monthly cost.

Find your tribe… start building… communing… sharing… growing… it’s time to go backwards to move forwards. It’s time to work as one. We will not survive or thrive otherwise.

Onboarding 3 new employees or as I like to call them, Team Members, this week. When the vision is clear, everything aligns. I’m grateful 😮‍💨

2024, here we come! DM for ticket links!

I took an 8 month hiatus while I worked as a CMO for a brand I believed in and built a couple more subsidiaries that mean a lot to me (FLY and PHIND) more info on those another time...

But I prayed about whether I should open back up my company Phoenix Affect that I have owned for 18 years now and before I could even finish my prayer. I received an email from a former client and major national leader who needs my help for a conference... Then a call from a CEO of a multi million dollar company who needs us to redesign her company's web presence before she does Good Morning America in two weeks (yikes). Then I got a call from an old client who needed a startegy think tank session with me to plan her next 12 months in business... And the list goes on. All that happened in the last two weeks. I guess it was Spirit's way of saying.... "Yes get back to YOUR work Sis!"

I sent out a prayer bat signal and folks beat me to the punch... Well here is an official bat signal. DM me if you need anything, my team and I are here if you need us! Thank you!

Choose wisely!

We will dive in!

Live on my IG - phoenix_jackson_

Hey Spirits,
All healing and alignment starts with a conversation! Artists, actors, creators and surrounding industry leaders are being greatly impacted by the strikes that are happening in the entertaining industry. Jerri Johnson of the hit TV show Harlem and I are opening up the conversation -- She's an actress, activist, and creative! I am extrely proud of her and our other partner Sean Hardy, as we work collectively to express this narrative.

🚨 URGENT: BLACK CREATIVES & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY WORKERS, WE NEED TO TALK! 🚨

Feeling the heat of the ongoing strike? You're not alone. The FACT is- Entertainers of Color are disproportionately impacted by the current industry strike.

🎥 Exclusive Instagram Live Event:
🗓️ Date: Monday Sept. 25th
⏰ Time: 5pm PST | 8pm EST
📌 Hosted By: Jerri Johnson & Phoenix Jackson

🎙️Let’s discuss the harsh realities of the impact of this current strike and create SOLUTIONS for lasting change!

✊ "No one is coming to save us, we have to save ourselves."

📣 Spread the word! Let's unite, and turn our collective pain into collective action!

Life happens... There are upheavals, breakups, changes in careers... And it is all for the sake of future freedom and self actualization. Sometimes you have to transition to get to the next level... even while carrying anxiety and fear. Sometimes you have to charge through the brick wall despite the pain you may experience. These are just experiences.. and if you survive them... You will undoubtedly become stronger.

I finally got serious. I refined and launched my YouTube channel. I have so much to share, so much to show and after my friends told me to go get it!!! I used that push to go do it! This episode thay just launched is the first of many! Time to be vulnerable, time to be real... Let's fly!

I’ll be spilling hot tea and sharing so much… I’m finally doing this and I’m excited. When you spend so many years working on other’s brands and businesses, you negate your own. I’m finally working on my OWN stuff and I hope that it can inspire you past your pain, your fears, and towards everything that you deserve.

The most important plan you’ll have to execute is your own.
