Relationships can be HARD……

Especially when one partner continuously blames the other partner when things are going smooth.

He said this to me so I said this to him….
She said this to me so I said this to her…

He did this to me so I did this to him….
She did this to me so I did this to her…

Stop It!

You are responsible for your behavior…
He is responsible for his behavior…

You are responsible for your behavior…
She is responsible for her behavior…

If you choose to justify dysfunctional behavior with more dysfunction…

You will always go back to START.

GAME OVER.

Many…. Many…. Many…

Individuals have TASK–ORIENTED resumes and not VALUE-BASED resumes.

You may be thinking, “Mr. Cage….What’s the difference?”

Or…

“Which one is better than the other?”

Well…..

TASK–ORIENTED resumes tell us what you did at the company.

Example: Mr. Cage taught career preparation classes.

VALUE-BASED resumes tells us what you did at the company, how you did it and the end result of what you did and how what you did benefited the company short or long term.

Example: Mr. Cage taught career preparation classes utilizing transformational training methods increasing the likelihood of employee retention and advancement.

My question to you is, “Which example is more attractive to employers?”

Why is it that MANY entrepreneurs find themselves being held hostage by their own businesses?

1. Mentality – We can still possess a JOB MENTALITY, and have a business if we like to fly SOLO. Some entrepreneurs DECIDE to take on administrative tasks, marketing activities, accounting responsibilities, etc… etc.. etc…. etc….etc….

a. Employeepreneurs (entrepreneurs with a JOB MENTALITY) CHOOSE not to offer a TANGIBLE PRODUCT. A tangible product is an extension of who we are and allows us to become TIME RICH. YOU can be in more than one place if you have TANGIBLE PRODUCTS on someone else’s shelf.

b. Some entrepreneurs CHOOSE not to develop others. One of the primary goals of life and business is REPRODUCTION. Developing others allow us to BECOME MOBILE, and leave a legacy in the Earth while coaching and training our apprentices.

Some employees vacated a job (which they believed to be BONDAGE) to journey into an entrepreneurial venture of running their own business. For MANY owning and running their own business has transformed into a greater stronghold of bondage to the very thing they were attempting to FREE themselves from.

Now consider this…

Maybe…

It wasn’t necessarily the job that held many hostage, BUT maybe it was a JOB MENTALITY that arrested their development and still have many entrepreneurs in handcuffs today

Though our bill collectors have not forgiven us, God has. We have a difficult time facing the debt giant because when come face to face with the opposition we see a reflection of WHO WE USED TO BE AND the mistakes we made as THAT PERSON —– The Old Man.

At times, our bill collectors will make us feel like…
“Look at what you did.” “I am a bad person.” “YOU are irresponsible.”

This leads to trauma, and as we’ve said before, “If we accept a situation or circumstance as TRAUMA and fail to focus on the HEALING opportunity in the midst of the trauma we will SUBCONSCIOUSLY accept that trauma as truth.”

This is what we call condemnation…
Well…. We are not facing this Goliath on our own.

Romans 8:1-2 (NIV)

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
