The Greatest Success in Entrepreneurship…
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007The greatest success in entrepreneurship, business, and life can only be found through conforming one’s aspirations to that of Christ’s. Over the past few years I have been beating myself up over business ventures and ideas that have ultimately amounted to little more then an intellectual gain with a financial loss. As I reflect I realize that each was nothing more then the chasing of the wind. My primary motives were that of quick monetary gain and were in no way associated with who I am. I did my best to merge my “passions” with something that would bring in the dollar bills, the problem was that my passions didn’t yield them selves to areas that would bring a quick financial gain.
God geared each of us the way that he did for a reason. It is no mistake that your interests, talents, and abilities are what they are. For me the analytical nature that I have been blessed with said
“Money is a necessity, generating money requires time, time is a limited resource; therefore how do I generate the greatest amount of money in the least amount of time?” I still believe this to be a problem worth addressing but not before the problem of joy. What makes me happy? You see, I was concentrating my efforts on the wrong problem, I was spending so much time working on ways to generate revenue that I was depriving myself of who I am and who God wants me to be. I will still keep my eyes open to future possibilities but concerning myself with Gods will for me as apposed to my will for myself will create the life full of “riches” that I so deeply long for.
