Frequently Asked Questions

Question of the Day: What do I need to effectively run my business?
If you answer was “MONEY,” then you are correct. Let’s call money “FINANCIAL CAPITAL.” However, we need much more than “MONEY” or “FINANCIAL CAPITAL” to effectively run our businesses.

What else do we need to effectively run our businesses?
Well… We also need Human Capital, Physical Capital, and Intellectual Capital. Our focus today is on Intellectual Capital.

Intellectual Capital can come in the form of business plans, procedures, blueprints, manuals, maps, diagrams, etc… etc… etc… 

The list goes on and on…

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING. Wisdom comes from “PEOPLE” known as “HUMAN CAPITAL” who have a proven business model, skill, or expertise in a given area. These people are called, “SPECIALISTS.” Specialists specialize in a specific field of expertise.

Inquiring minds would like to know:

Have you ever been involved in a break-up?
Why did the break-up occur?
Whose fault was it?
Were you the person who initiated the break-up or where you the victim of the break-up?

Break-ups (or divorces) occur when one or two parties do not honor the terms of agreement. An agreement can be ORAL OR WRITTEN. The success of any relationship (personal or professional) is determined on the transfer, acceptance and understanding of clear-cut expectations that are agreed upon by the parties (people, places or things) involved in the relationship.

Do you understand the terms of agreement with who or what you are in relationship with?

Food for thought: People involved in PRODUCTIVE RELATIONSHIPS give more concern to the person, place or thing they are in the relationship with than they do themselves.

Questions to self:

1. Why are we discussing relationships and breaking-up?
2. How does this relate to having a job?
3. How doe this relate to a having a career?

At times, we find difficulties adjusting to our workplace when we are not fully aware of the terms of agreement. If we are not fully aware, then we don’t possess the ability to agree. If we don’t possess the ability to agree then we can’t align ourselves with the expectations agreed upon in the beginning of the relationship. The result is a break-up (or divorce).

Extra food for thought: There are times when we take our workplaces for granted, and when this occurs the result is ABUSE.

There is hope…

When we become fully aware of the terms of agreement, we can agree and align with the expectations agreed upon in the beginning of the relationship.

Brainstorming is the CONTINUAL flow of ideas, thoughts and concepts. Brainstorming serves the purpose of watering the ground for growth. 

According to Mother Earth growth is a way of life. 

After the storm, the next course of action is GROWTH. There is little possibility of doubt arising in a plant because the plant itself in is total agreement with this course of action.

We as humans don’t possess the ability to stop the flow of rain because this flow did not originate from us although the flow is for us.

In terms of brainstorming within your predestined organization: Our partners, peers and colleagues have a choice to allow the current of ideas to flow. A second option is to decide to hinder the flow with counterproductive criticism or prejudgment. 

Consider this: It may be counterproductive for us to judge or constructively criticize an idea when it is being watered or when the idea is going through its growth process. If WE INTERRUPT the flow of ideas, thoughts and concepts, the probability of growth lessens.

Witty inventions (ideas, plans, processes, businesses, etc.) sometimes get held up because we attempt to ascertain a divinely inspired concept through a filter of human reasoning. The flow of ideas, plans, processes and businesses are dependent on a filter that must be pure (free from impurities that can hinder the flow).

Remember: Water never goes to waste; water always serves its purpose. Even when water is accidently spilled, it evaporates back into the atmosphere from which it came from. 

Be like water. ~ Bruce Lee 
More to come…

Success defined according to its original connotation is living according to God’s purpose and destiny for your life. An individual can be SUCCESSFUL according to the world’s view, however if he is not living ON PURPOSE, then he is truly missing the mark. In most cases, those who are success – full (according to a worldly perspective) are full of themselves and refuse to make room for anyone else. The success-ful are opera singers who sound is, “I… I…I… I…me…me…me…me…me…” There is no room for company if it is all about you. When we allow people to come into our home (life) they get ideas on how to decorate their home (life).

Food for thought: Those who are striving to become success – FUL , and become weary are FULL of themselves. We must inventory the motives of the heart. A success- FILLED person is building according to a Godly pattern. His measuring stick (or standard) is THE WORD, and not the abundance of possessions that feed the EGO (Refer to Luke 12:13-21).

The rich young ruler used “I” six times in this story. Hmm….

Financial Food for Thought:

Question: How can we make ends (our responsibilities and our money) meet if both ends are going in opposite directions?

Come on…. 
Let’s be honest…

We do not need to exhaust our energies and efforts (our thought and our actions) trying to make ends meet FINANCIALLY when our hearts and minds are not yet on the same page. 

Can you say, “DUALITY, DOUBLE-MINDEDNESS, INCONSISTENCY, INSTABILITY?”

We ask you, “Is all this really worth the hassle if we have yet to be honest with ourselves and our current financial situation?”

Our ends (hearts and minds) have to be on the same page, and have to be located in the same book, “THE WORD.” When this occurs, our thought and our actions will LINE UP!

Our responsibilities and our money will LINE-UP!

This issue is not a quick fix, but God has made it POSSIBLE.

Let’s be honest…

The solution is a TOTAL renewing of the mind which only transpires when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in our life, and in A SPECIFIC area of our lives. In this exercise we are speaking our of FINANCES.

John 14:6 (NIV) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus is how our ends will meet to become ONE.

 

Food for thought: When we become stretched beyond our purpose we become inconsistent and fall short of our primary goal. The result is instability and multiple personalities better known as “ups and downs” or “The roller coaster ride of inconsistency”. In contrast, when we filter information through our primary goal we will become consistent in efforts to achieve all of our goals. This is called “ONENESS.”

 

One reason why we have problems in the area of Personal Growth and Development is because we are spread too thin. This means that we do too much and not enough to accomplish the primary goal that we were sent to accomplish.  

 

 Let us be stretched within the confines of purpose, this is where we will discover success.

Financial Food for Consumption: Let’s shift our focus from PINCHING PENNIES to shifting our focus upon STRETCHING DOLLARS. Some of us invest a tremendous amount of time and energy on TRYING NOT TO SPEND ANYTHING when a better practice calls us to invest our time and energy on how to spend and what to spend the money on. ~ Matthew 25:18

Food for thought: Maintaining the cleanliness of the workplace is a reflection of exceptional work. The workplace is a place (mentally and physically) where work is produced. Exceptional work is based upon relationships that are ethical.

 How do we determine if our work exceptional?

How do we de relationships are ethical?

 Let’s define the word “ETHICS.”

 Ethics can be defined as rules of conduct that GUIDE and GOVERN the actions of an organization and those individuals who are in relationship with the organization. Ethics are built upon principles. Principles are the “first things” needed in the building of ANY structure whether we are referring to a physical building or our individual lives.

 Wisdom Key: If we are in relationship with someone or something we do not visit their facility (or house) bringing extra garbage nor do we leave someone’s house without picking up after ourselves. This type of act can be considered as unethical.

Our work must be exceptional and our relationships must be ethical.

 Whether we anticipate having expected or unexpected company our workplace (mentally and physically) is reflection of who we are and what our lives are built upon (PRINCIPLES). Our workplace should be clean because of the habits that have been formed from the daily exercise of ethical conduct. In retrospect, ethical conduct has become our first nature because we have replaced old habits with new habits.  The replacement of the old with the new is revealed through the rules of conduct that guide and govern our actions.

 Cleaning is not a chore, cleaning is a way of life. ~ Marcus Cage
