I used to compare myself to others who started in their ministry much earlier than I did. I would look at their websites and well, you know, I would cyber stalk them. Don’t tell me you’ve never done it, you might just choose to call it market research or Facebook…
Sometimes we go through the wrong door in life and feel cheated or betrayed. We feel hurt because our significant other has left us because that wasn’t our door. Or if they hadn’t lied and cheated on us the marriage would be successful. We wonder why the business isn’t successful…
When we take a road trip, we are focused on the destination! We plan a vacation, we think about it, we dream about it and visualize what it will be like. The anticipation builds during the entire journey. Our excitement peaks, and then we ARRIVE! Are we focused on all…
I’ve said before that we should be prepared to describe what we have to offer in 90 seconds or less. This might be in reference to our skills, our business, or our dream. Why is that, you ask? There are 90 seconds between floors on the elevator and you never…
