Memoirs of an Entrepreneur

Been awhile since I have been on this journey and writing about my experiance. Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint hearted. You need to have a deep drive and grit to dig your heels in when the going gets tought. You will meet many people along this journey, some will be rooting for you, some will observe you from a distance, others will want to jump in on the band wagon, others will somehow drop you abruptly but that is the beauty of being an entrepreneur.

Teaching learning opening your heart out to others but at the same time be shrewd, sharp and collective when it comes to making decisions. If opportunities pass you by fold up and move on, if people are toxic drop them and move on. If the government does not help you find a way and make it work. If someone promises something and does not give it to you it does not matter. If noone supports you keep chasing your dreams.

You develop this 5th sense of survival sassing people, situations and circumstances out remenber not everyone has your best interest at heart. That is typical human nature don't have high expectations or you will be disappointed. Life was never meant to be easy but when you work hard you go to sleep knowing you have given yourself the very best. That only you hold your destiny in your hands.

In this trade you are jack of all trades, cleaner,receptionist,driver,admin asistant, accountant, marketer and offcourse the CEO of your own firm. Which is a big +. Always be kind and collective and treat people with respect and with empathy. Never use your tittle to abuse and use people to your advantage. Price well and price realistically your goods and services. Always think of serving the other person and work backwards. When you don't chase money it will come chasing you. And alwasy remeber Rome was not build in a day, you will not be millionaires overnight. When you do honest work good will come back to you.

Proverbs 14:23 (NIV)

“All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.”

What about me? I am truely enjoying this journey. Every up and down moment is one of learning and adjusting and seeing pespective from a new lens of life. Celebrating my success and mistakes and growing each time I encounter those moments. Gettting offers to go back to the work force but living my dream is the best choice for me.

Taking each day as special, being gratefull for being in the moment. I never start and end my day without prayer and seeking Godly wisdom. Spending time with God has become a more enriching moment as I manage my own time. I draw away from work daily just to commune and sit in his presence for 30 mins or an hour every day which is very refreshing.

Continue seekling Godly wisdom and be a blessing to everyone around you. Make prayer, reading your bible a daily must as you walk this journey out with the Lord. Be blessed and stay bless and may God continue to bless you

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...

5 Steps to A Debt-Free Life

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...
