We are so competitive - we gotta keep up with our neighbours. We have to have the biggest house, the most expensive car, the best clothes, etc. It is envy and greed that drives many of us. We want to make as much money as possible.\xa0
\n
\nBut what do we sacrifice to make more money? Our family. Our relationships. Is it worth it? Money \u2013 you can\u2019t take it with you.
\n
\nOf course, money is something we all think about, and often worry about. However, if you take power away from money and put it in its proper place, money becomes a tool for you to enjoy your life and bless others.
\n
\nJamie Munson believes money is either a God you worship or a gift from God. It is something not to be stressed about, but to steward and manage. Then we are freed up to help others. Enjoy it rather than freak out about it!
\n
\nHe wrote the book, \u201cMoney: God or Gift,\u201d which helps others deal with money from a business perspective. Invest in your employees\u2019 emotional and financial well-being. If they are worried about money, that is going to run over into their work. Businesses need to take a more holistic approach - employees are human beings, too. Be generous and consider: how can I serve my customers and employees?
