DO YOU FAIL TO PLAN?

There is a saying that you may have heard and it says: People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Are you in that category? If you want your business to be successful, you must plan your strategies. How to start the business, how much money do I need, where do I get the products from, how can I make the sale or what happens when someone says no.

These are just a few of the things that you have to plan for. Without a plan you will as many have done in the past failed.  To make sure this doesn't happen to you start writing down the questions you will have to face as well as the answers that will keep you going until you reach your desired goal and achievement.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY (WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN?)

In any relationship listening without interrupting your partner is very important. You see, when you don't listen, it says many things. It says that you don't respect your partner and what they have to say doesn't mean anything to you. It shows that you are not patient because it takes patience to wait for the other person to finish what they are saying.

It also shows that you don't have any self control which is to keep quiet while your partner is speaking. It also shows that you are only interested in yourself and your own thoughts. James 1:19 says we should be quick to listen but slow to speak. Nothing, when you are in the middle of an argument will get resolved if you both keep interrupting each other or talking over one another and getting louder and louder in the process. Hear me when I tell you this. If you get this area under control, your relationship will only get better.

DON'T LET OPPORTUNITIES PASS YOU BY

There are many opportunities that come your way, but if you are not in the right frame of mind at the time, you can easily overlook them and let them slip right on by. You have to start today to be on the lookout for opportunities that can make your life better in some kind of way. 

God can open a door to a business opportunity, an opportunity to meet someone, an opportunity to learn something new or an opportunity to gain more knowledge and wisdom on a particular subject. Whatever it may be, you need to take advantage of it right then and there.

STOP ACTING LIKE THE WORLD

Romans 12:2 Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him. - The way we think comes before we act. When you accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, your mind should be on the path of renewal, the way you thought before should be transformed, the way you acted before should be completely changed.

Acting like the world should not even be considered anymore. If you have slipped back into that worldly thinking, let God change the way you think so you can please Him the right way and live a true Christian life like you are supposed to. It may not always be easy, but with the Help that God provides you will succeed and win.
