Seven years ago, before stepping into her divine assignment, Valorie Burton, Author of, How Did I Get
So Busy?, The 28-day Plan to Free Your Time, Reclaim Your Schedule, and Reconnect with What
Matters Most, was over-extending herself in an effort to stay ahead of the curve. She poured her heart
and soul into building her own successful PR Firm, The Burton Agency.  

Those who looked from the outside in, saw a successful entrepreneur living the good life. She was
beautiful, young, smart, driven, focused, and happy… or so it seemed. Valorie appeared to have it all,
but deep inside her soul she knew she wasn’t living her purpose.

“I had written my first book,” recalls Valorie.  “And after I had self-published it, I had gotten a deal from
Random House for that particular book, so I got a taste of living my purpose, and being able to do what
I really loved.”

She craved the liberty and freedom to do what God had anointed and chosen her to do.

But at the time, she was stuck in a cycle of focusing on the thing that provided the most security, even if
it meant investing most of her time and energy into something she no longer loved.

Then, one November morning in 2000, as she prepared herself for a 9:00AM client meeting, Valorie
broke down while standing in the shower. Tears streamed down her face and her whole body ached
in frustration. She tried to compose herself, but couldn’t.

Valorie knew she’d had enough.  

But what would everyone think? She had been named one of the nation’s 30 rising stars in public
relations by PR Week Magazine that year.

Furthermore, how could she walk away from a robust client list, a steady stream of income, and the
secure lifestyle she had grown accustomed to?
"I got up that morning and I didn’t
feel like going to work, and you
know, work wasn’t a job, work was
my company!"
“I had probably gone about six weeks where I didn’t sleep through the
entire night,” Valorie tells EEW. “My spirit was really restless.  I got up that
morning and I didn’t feel like going to work, and you know, work wasn’t a
job, work was my company! I had been trying to figure out how I could
grow the business so I could eventually leave.”

That’s exactly what God was nudging Valorie to do.

That day, He arrested her attention and spoke a word to her spirit that
would ultimately lead her on a path to purpose and prosperity.
