How to Turn Every Business Problem Into Profit
This one is for the entrepreneurs who are weary, tired, longing for things to get \u201cback to normal\u201d\u2026 who possibly are coming out go the holidays not rested and revived, but even more discouraged.
Now, don\u2019t get me wrong. This is not what EVERYONE is feeling. SOME people are energized, excited, and on FIRE! SOME saw their revenues climb instead of fall in 2020 \u2026. SOME saw their profitability SOAR \u2026While others would label 2020 as \u201cdifficult\u201d at best, or a \u201ctotal disaster\u201d on the other end of the scale. Regardless of where you call on this scale, and what your \u201cbusiness problems\u201d might be, you\u2019ll find some encouragement here.
SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS
First - a caution. Don\u2019t kill yourself making a killing.
You\u2019re not in competition with ANYONE. You\u2019re not \u201cbehind\u201d.
Grace Over Grind, my friends, in the words of Shae Bynes.
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you\u2019ll recover your life. I\u2019ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me\u2014watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won\u2019t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you\u2019ll learn to live freely and lightly.
Matthew 11:28-30
