If you are only in business for the money, do you notice that you are tending to burn out a bit? Your goal of obtaining “success” seems to not feel as good as you probably imagined it to feel. I’ve learned that in order to achieve success, you must have a true passion for your business, your products and your service. When you have that passion, you won’t mind putting in the energy to make your business work! So if you haven’t already done so, take the time to identify your true passion! Once you’ve discovered it, began to take action and grow and share your success story with someone else to inspire them to do the same! Keep in mind that when you become a blessing to someone else, wonderful blessings come your way!
I’m SO excited about this year! This year marks my 5 year anniversary of being an entrepreneur and I can’t wait to see what God does! HE’s been surprising me year after year! My husband and I went out on a date last month and we had a very interesting conversation at our dinner table. We were reflecting back to when I first became an entrepreneur and remembering the different situations God put me in. I must admit…some were very tough, but I realized after the experience that I was put through the particular situations for a reason. Each situation was to prepare me for something bigger and better HE had planned for me. We chuckled a few times at some of the stories we remembered, but it was amazing after thinking about it, how everything went the way it was suppose to. It’s sort of like when go through school and you have to pass finals in order to graduate to the next grade. Well, when God has plans for you, you have to pass certain test to make sure you are prepared for what he has next for you. Some of the test he put me through were pretty interesting!!! The ones who have been following me, can probably recall some of them. There were certain people and situations brought to me to tackle and OH MY GOODNESS… some of them were pretty crazy!!! I had to deal with integrity issues not only in business practices, but what hurt me so badly was that I saw so much of it in the Christian market. I had the opportunity to work closely with so many Christian leaders and was highly disappointed at what was revealed to me. I had the opportunity to see what really goes on behind “closed doors”. I witnessed genuine good hearted people willing to work for the kingdom and being taken advantage of or being mislead. Now, I’m not saying all of the ones I dealt with had issues, but I will say “a lot” of them were a disappointment. I actually had one Christian leader of an organization tell me, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission,” when it came to making a decision their board needed to be informed about. Now, I don’t know if this economy contributed to a lot of these behaviors or what, but if you are a Christian leader, I feel you should be an example of Christ. Many of you have heard me use the example of going to the gym to workout. If you are consistently going to the gym to workout, I should be able to see results from you working out. It should be obvious. If you are a Christian and doer of the word, it should be obvious. I should be able to look at you and your life and it should reflect the same.
It’s a New Year and a great time to renew ways of thinking and ways of treating one another. So when you think again at how bad the world is today or how you are a victim of circumstance, think again and remember that it’s up to you to make a change for the better. It’s no need to hold back your blessing any longer!
If you are ready to get ahead and beat all of those naysayers you’ve dealt with in the past or face those challenges you been fighting for so long, this is the year to win! Develop a plan and take action!
