Memoirs of an Entrepreneur

 This week marks my first week into the world of SME. I have finally put my hand up to join many others and venture into this space. I have given a good 40+ years into the corporate world and have decided to see how I can do as my own boss. As in any venture I know it wont be easy but God has been the catalyst in ensuring that I take that bold step into the unknow.

This is a pure act of faith but I belive that I have the abilities and God has my back to ensure that I come out on top in this space. It is not easy taking that first step but I know that in time I will reap the benefits. The dream to be a business woman has been stuck with me since childhood. I would be selling little things around the house to my family and forever saving my lunch money so that I have money at the year end to spend on christmas presents. This basic revenue creation and savings culture I develop from those times. I always know that I have a business acumen so when I came to grade 12 I was tossed between law and business. Luckily Law school had me on reserved and so I took the confirmed offer which was a degree in commerce. 

Studing business and actually doing business are totally 2 different fields. Whilst my interest grew I had to put it on the back burner as I had to dealt with many other challengers in life. Getting my child off to finishing her education journey and finally being able to step out into this space but not without putting myself back to school for another entreprenial degree. My degreee from Jospeh Business School in Chicago has given me much needed insight to brave this world of entreprenuialship couple with teachings from the word of God I feel motivated inspired and encourage to take this step into the business world.

I will bring more stories as I journey on and hope it can also inspire and give a picture of what life is like when you step into that space. Using my faith in the market place and allowing Godly wisdow to guide me I am senting out on this journey and I hope I can inspire others as well. Tomorow I will highlight what services my SME provides.

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Pricing)

  Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:  God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to min...

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Faith)

  As a christian, business owner how do we live our life as a christian and at the same time trade and do business in the community. Do we seperate God from what we do and conduct our business strictly seperated from our faith.  God is the greatest business man he incoporated business into the daily lives of the Isrealites. Today we hide God from our board rooms and put our faith away when it comes to professionalism. However I want to encourage christian Papua New Guineans to live life as a christian the same as you would in church and home and as how you would run your business. What is the secret to over coming our daily challenges in business. I would say the first and formost challenge would be how do I generate revenue? How do I bring customers to buy my goods and services. How do I make money? In my experiance the first thing is to take it to the Lord in Prayer. Before you react before you pick up your phone and speak to anyone take time to pray and when you pray listen...

 Reposted with permission from KCM....... If you’re done living paycheck to paycheck, making never-ending payments and being subject to lenders, it’s time to take these 5 steps to a debt-free life! “Receive the power.” That was a recent  word of the Lord to Kenneth Copeland  concerning the debt freedom of His people. He continues: “The power to get wealth is THE BLESSING of Abraham, and it’s in you right now. Don’t look to the outside—it’s in you.” Glory to God! Living debt free is possible, and it is God’s will that every one of us enjoy a prosperous life. If you’re facing a small debt or a mountain of debt, know this: There is no condemnation. If you are in a debt situation, get rid of all condemnation and go to a place of faith—because you are on your way out! There is no question that it is God’s will for you to live debt free. His Word says He will make you the head and not the tail…and bless all the work of your hands…and you will lend and NOT borrow (Deuteronomy 28...
