Treat your business as a business!

Coffee with Carole

Do you own a business? Have you decided to invest in an opportunity to increase your time freedom & financial resources or to better use your talents and skills?

For most of us, especially women, who begin a business, we do so to help our family or our community. We start a home-based business, for example to stay home and care for our children or work to help the less fortunate. Yet, we don't always do the things that are required to run a business.

- A true business owner does the following:

Tracks the business, manages the money, uses a separate bank account, stays consistent in their efforts, and has a store front mentality (if you work from home) of specific hours of operation!

As Christians we are to take this a step further. We must remember that NOTHING is ours and we are simply stewards of God's resources. Our time, money, resource, relationships, connections, ideas and entire business belong to God.

Instead of asking how much do I need to give or do to honor God, we should be asking WHY God has given us the time, money, resources etc. and what does HE want us to do with it. This type of conversation should happen daily.

If we believe that God is who He says He is, then we must believe that everything belongs to Him.

Deut. 10:14, Colossians 1:16, 2 Corinthians 9:10-11

Consider your tithe as a reminder of who the money belongs to. Consider the service to your church as worship and praise for all the time He has given you.

Let God do the how while you do the do. ♥
