The Faithful Entreprenuer

The Faithful Entrepreneur

1.       We become the images we frequently run through our mind. Are you in control of the images running through your mind?

2.       Good stewardship requires strong faith. How strong is your faith?

3.       A faithful steward focuses on extraordinary entrepreneurial excellence. Why the entrepreneurial fellow always survives?

4.       Revive your faith. What is life without faith?

5.       We either restore our moral and spiritual principles or the freedoms we cherish may soon disappear. What are you doing to help protect our freedoms?

6.       Americans are tough, resilient, and compassionate and forward thinking people. Why is that changing in America?

7.       Whatever voice you consult determines your future. Why not consult to the positive voice, the one that says you can make a difference?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Time or Money

Time Is Greater Than Money

1.       You are today the results of the values instilled in you as a child. Is the person you are today proud of the kid you were then?

2.       One individual can make a difference. What is the positive difference you are making in the lives of others?

3.       Time is NOT equal money. Are you trading the best years of your life for just money?

4.       Get a vision much bigger than your reality. How hungry area you for what you want?

5.       Be a script breaker of the crazy cycle. What is the script you are following?

6.       Success is discipline; pure and simple. Significance is duty to a great cause.

7.       You never get disciplined until you know why. Why do people wait for the world to discipline them?

8.       Dreams come true when you are true to your dreams. Are you committed to your dreams?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Judge Not

Judge not

God alone has the right to judge the heart of us.

1.       Appearances are misleading; we still know little about what is inside of a man. Why then do we judge others based on outer appearances?

2.       Most immigrants had a vision even before arriving in America. How come born Americans no longer have a vision?

3.       What we do with our lives will endure longer than gold. What is the ripple effect of one human life?

4.       We are all tested in this life. Are you getting ready for the tests of relationship, motive, and love?

5.       We all are in this earth for a purpose greater than ourselves. Are you willing to lay down your life for a friend?

6.       Learn to be a great steward to manage the master’s eternal assets. Are you being a good steward of what has been entrusted to you?

7.       True assets come from talents, strengths, personality, interests. Are you leveraging your assets?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Want Power?

Faith Is Powerful

1.       Faith is seeing without believing. Can you see with your mind?

2.       The three components of faith are: believe, behave, and belong. Do you have 100% belief? 99% is not good enough.

3.       Faith is demonstrated by living it daily. How are you demonstrating your faith?

4.       Believe in the truth; live the truth, share the truth, belong to the truth. How do you know if someone has faith?

5.       Faith takes the im out of impossible making the possible. When have you done the impossible?

6.       Faith helps you achieve what you believe. What do you believe and why do you believe in what you believe?

7.       Faith has the power to move you from negativity to positivity. Are you sharing positivity or negativity?

 

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Ideal Porfolio

Ideal Portfolio

1.       Eternal rewards come later based on what you do today. Have you done the work to deserve the eternal rewards available to you?

2.       You will be reimbursed in full for what you did on His behalf. What are you willing to do for others in His name?

3.       Private prayer is the most valuable action to you and to Him. We become what we pray. Why then don’t we pray more to become what we dream to be?

4.       Work diligently to increase your eternal value. What kind of portfolio are you building for His Kingdom?

5.       When it is all said and done make sure that more is done than said. Are you planning to have your own awards ceremony at eternity?  Who would come to your ceremony?

6.       Work to earn your position in His organization. Are you looking forward to meeting your Savior in person?

7.       All we have done for Him will be completely apparent. Why do we think we can hide our imperfections if we know that He knows all about everything?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Something for Nothing

Something for Nothing

Are you expecting something for nothing like many people out there? 

You can be the creator of your own destiny, not someone else's. 

Are you running your life or is someone else doing it for you? 

Be aware of the broken man that offers you an opportunity to be rich. Does he have fruit on his tree? A broken government can full its people for a just a few years. Can you imagine your own government lying to you?

1.       Dishonest government is worth nothing at all. Is your future dependent on a dishonest government? If so, you are up to a big disappointment at some point in your life. And that point is approaching.

2.       The more attention you pay to a behavior, be it good or bad, the more it will be repeated. What are you paying attention to and what are you ignoring?

3.       We are all authors of our own miseries or our own happiness. Are you authoring, sharing with others, your miseries or your greatness?

4.       True friendships and trusted relationships are the most valuable assets we can have. Are you building assets to generate value for eternity?

5.       In a true friendship two individuals share the same soul. Are you willing to open up your soul to create a space for someone else’s trust?

6.       True meaning in life comes from a relationship with our Creator. There is a space inside all of us that can only be filled by God. Is God at the center of your life? If not, you are eventually going for a crash.

7.      Many Americans will soon discover that less is actually more. One of the paradoxes of life is that we only get to keep what we give away. Are you willing to give what matters most to you?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Finishing Strong

Don’t retire, rewire?

Have faith in yourself and in your future. How strong is your faith? Most people don't lack intelligence they simply lack faith. How about start digging for your gold or diamond mine during the half time? The second half is the most important half. Do we ever remember the score during the first half? Finish big, finish strong.

1.      The second half is the best half of life. Have you reached retirement age but not retirement money?

2.      Give your life to a worthy cause. What is a cause you would be willing to die for?

3.      Fight for a worthy cause. Are you winning the war wagging in your mind?

4.      We all have two voices talking with us. Why are you listening to the screaming voice condemning and criticizing you?

5.      Reach deep inside you and turn down that negative voice. Why do we pay any attention at all to our negative voice?

6.      Whatever voice you consult determines your future. What voice are you consulting on a continuous basis?

7.      Your habits become your destiny and determine your legacy. What is the legacy you will be leaving behind?

Be blessed and be a blessing to others.
