Building Blocks

I sometimes get overwhelmed with all the tasks of starting your own business. Alot of times leaves you feeling despair, and alone. But the journey with its obstacles in the way, has enormous satisfaction when the end is near. The building blocks that I am using to create my business is remembering all the feelings along the way and how to use them to make them to be an effective business owner. When I start with those emotions of doubt, I take each one and make them a positve exerience. when that voice says "it wont work" I take it and say it will because God did not give me a gift to sit on the shelf. It will work if I plan accordingly, learn to step away when I am overwhelmed and ask for help when I do not have the answer.
I also have realized that my relationship with God has to be strong because owning your own business is a huge responsibility and if I dont have the relationship with God when the wind blows I will not be able to stand. So everyday I must take the time and have a talk with Jesus allow him to direct my path and understand exactly what God says about  prospering my soul and how faith plays the role in becoming the best I can be.

Understanding

Understanding



There are points in your life, where everything you believe in is shaken. Sometimes we do not understand why relationships get tested or people leave in and out of our lives. Even why we question our faith in God, but there are times, with the very best intentions, leaves us with the question, I just do not understand.
Just the other day, I was looking out the window, the cold wind blowing, and the snow swirling, I had a doubt in my soul, at this point in my life I realized I was still searching for something, or someone to fill the emptiness in my soul. I just did not understand how I allowed that to happen to me, but it does. It happens to most everyone, where we just do not understand.
So I reached down inside of me, as deep as I could, and I came to the conclusion, that I was focusing to much time on what I do not understand about life, people, death, and I decided to begin focusing on what is real, what I do know. I decided that it was time to peel back the layers of my doubt. It’s a process of being real to me, taking out what doesn’t work, and focusing on what does.
Where my true happiness lies, it lies within in me. It will take me more than a day, week or a month; it may even take years to unravel what I have done, but all we have is time. With each layer peeled back, I found something new. I found I had a lot of junk in my closet, things that didn’t fit, things that were old, things were definitely dusty, things that made me cry, and things that made me laugh.
I found time with God, time that I was not taking to really have a talk with him. When I finished God showed me, my job is not to try to understand the unexplainable, but let him lead me through the darkness into the light. God said he will never leave you or forsake thee. In cleaning out my closet, I renewed my spiritual relationship with the one person, who gives me peace, love, joy and happiness.
So when you just don’t understand, don’t trouble yourself, give it to God. And when you question your happiness, just start cleaning out your closet and throw out what doesn’t work, face reality, that life is an unpredictable journey, and true happiness comes from leaning, praying and depending on God.

Job Rotation

Today I presented  a pilot program in the workplace; the concept is not new of job rotation. However,  I felt the need to share the concept with a Manager today. Using job rotation to boost  moral, retain and empower employees. Although still in the "infancy" stage. The manager was receptive to the idea. Now the work lies ahead. Creating  power point and creating a survey to see what the interest would be from other co-workers. Its a start, implementaion could take place in  2nd business quarter. Its something that could benefit the organization.  The key is to have total Management buy in for this job rotation to work, without their support, job rotation in our workplace cannot succeed.
If anyone has any input feel free to share.
Thanks

Blessings

I was just reflecting on the past week, tragedy in Haiti, the strength of the human spirit to survive when others give up and the importance of being a blessing to others around you. When you give of your time, heart and finances; the smallest blessings come your way at unexpected times. I have learned to give as I am able with no expectations of receiving back, and a new perspective opens up. The feeling you recieve inside, no one can put a price on. 
Helping not just the people in Haiti, but the ones around you, so many people are in need. Try not to second guess what the homeless man will do with the loose change, just know that you gave to bless him and he can do with the change as he decides, in the end the individual is responsible for their actions not the giver.

Monopoly

When you playing the game of Monopoly at a more mature age. I realized what a great game about strategy, finance, patience, vision and banking. I played  the other day with a few Nine year olds and I had a teaching moment with those children. The ones who caught on quickly realized that they had to budget their  money and deal with the "set backs". Such as paying taxes and paying rent.
Monopoly is about life and playing the right cards at the right time.

create

I need to get the creative juices flowing, I feel if though I am standing still and that's not acceptable. I just have to take a step back and not get overwhelmed with all these technology sites: wordpress, fb, twitter, emurse and the list goes on. Good leaders know when to assess the situation, stategize and then begin to tackle each item one by one.  Once I learn how to use these more effeciently, it will all come together. Keep some; loose some...
