The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year. God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started inve
1) Base everything you do on what you've seen so far. If you haven't seen it modeled by other people, it must not exist.
2) Don't read too much. Be glad that your last reading assignment was in high school or college.
3) Resist feedback. It's uncomfortable. Whatever you do, don't go asking for it.
4) Value comfort above everything else.
5) Don't get quiet. Surround yourself with noise as much as possible, giving yourself little room for solitude or creativity.
Do these five things, my friends, for a 100% guarantee of stagnation!
One is enough to get you on a downward spiral but if you do all five combined it's a sure-fire recipe to get stuck and stay there.
