The world of entreprenours
thinkng of starting a business...check this out n tell me what u think...
TYPES OF ENTREPRENOURS.... my two cent worth of advice.. this is y i get paid.
1. The Improver: you are focused on using your company as a means to improve the world. Your motto is: morally correct companies will be rewarded working on a noble cause. Have an unwavering ability to run their business with high integrity and ethics.
Alert: Be aware of your tendency to be a perfectionist and over-critical of employees and customers. E.g. Anita Roddick, Founder of the Body Shop.
2. The Advisor: provide an extremely high level of assistance and advice to customers. The motto is: the customer is right and we must do everything to please them. Companies built by advisors become customer focused.
Alert: Advisors can become totally focused on the needs of their business and customers that they may ignore their own needs and ultimately burn out .e.g. John W. Nordstrom, Founder Nordstrom.
3. The Superstar: business is centered on the charisma and high energy of the Superstar CEO. This personality often will cause you to build your business around your own personal brand.
Alert: Can be too competitive and workaholics. E.g. Donald Trump, CEO of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts.
4. The Artist: reserved but highly creative type. Often found in businesses demanding creativity such as web design and ad agencies. As an artist type you’ll tend to build your business around the unique talents and creativities you have.
Alert: You may be overly sensitive to your customer’s responses even if the feedback is constructive. Let go the negative self-image. E.g. Scott Adams, Creator of Dilbert.
6. The Analyst: your company is focus on fixing problems in a systematic way. Often the basis for science, engineering or computer firms, Analyst companies excel at problem solving.
Alert: Be aware of analysis paralysis. Work on trusting others .e.g. Intel Founder, Gordon Moore.
7. The Fireball: A business owned and operated by a Fireball is full of life, energy and optimism. Your company is life-energizing and makes customers feel the company has a get it done attitude in a fun playful manner.
Alert: You may over commit your teams and act to impulsively e.g. Malcolm Forbes, Publisher, Forbes Magazine.
8. The Hero: You have an incredible will and ability to lead the world and your business through any challenge. You are the essence of entrepreneurship and can assemble great companies.
Personality Alert: Over promising and using force full tactics to get your way will not work long term. To be successful, trust your leadership skills to help others find their way.
Entrepreneurial example: Jack Welch, CEO General Electric.
9. The Healer: If you are a Healer, you provide nurturing and harmony to your business. You have an uncanny ability to survive and persist with an inner calm.
Alert: Because of your caring, healing attitude toward your business, you may avoid outside realities and use wishful thinking. E.g. Ben Cohen, Co-Founder Of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.

DESTINY vs. MISTAKES
All great men in the bible made mistakes
Abraham, David, Jacob, Isaac n many others
Yet we say the God of Abraham, Isaac n Jacob
David is a man after God’s own heart
It’s no different today
Its not in never falling that we win but in raising up
Every time we fall, not passing ur exams is not an end,
God is always calculating a new n better path to ur destiny
U myt get the wrong job, guy/chic, friend, career etc.
But get this
UR DESTINY IS ALWAYS BIGGER THAT UR MISTAKES
We r not given hearts of timidity but of authority,
Nor plans to harm us but to prosper us
We are a royal priesthood, a chosen generation, a peculiar pple..
We r called anointed, predestined, justified and blessed above all
God neva turns away from us even wen we do
Even wen we take a detour from our destiny he prepares a new path.
Wee jonah learnt that the hard way..we myt also
HE HAS THE SOLUTION EVEN B4 WE ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM
He is never shocked by awa actions or problems
He is not after a perfect pple, but pple who can be made whole
U r a leader, fether. Mother, encourager, pastor n above all.
A revolution n not a mere human being
Rise, shake off the dust, kick ur mistakes aside and
CLAIM UR DESTINY

INFORMATION v/s REVELATION
View: Full | Compact
1) We only reap what has been sowed(Law of action n reaction)
We reap what we sowed or others sowed on our behalf. Smtimes u go thro badtimes coz of things u neva did bt smbdy did n thus they affect you today. Sow intergrity so u n those around cn enjoy a good harvest in future
2) We reap the same in kind as we sowed( Law of reproduction)
John 3.. n Galatians 6...if u sow immorality u will reap of the same.if u sow intergrity u shall reap of the same. What u harvesting today whether good or bad is nt an accident bt a reflection of the sowing u did or smbody did for u in the past
THOUGHTS become ACTS become HABITS become CHARACTER defines DESTINY
3) We reap in a different season than the one we sowed(Law of defered returns)
Galatians 6:9. lets nt tire in doing good for in due season.. those 30 minutes we enjoy in immorality translate in a diff season to a year o disease n unwanted pregnancies n stress..those 30mins u spend in ur books will translate in a diff season to a lifetime of peace in bliss. Don’t be lied by 5 mins of fun..they myt be replaced by a lifetime of sorrow
4) We always reap more than we sowed(Law of multiplied returns)
Ur 5 mins f pleasure wont be replced by 5 mins of sorrow bt mayb a lifetym of sorrow n sadness bt on the other side ur 5mins of a good deed, studying, praying will also not be replaced by 5 mins of blessings bt a lifetym of the same. U will get more of what u invest, pliz invest wisely. Its better to suffer n later enjoy for long than to enjoy n later suffer for long.
5) We reap in proportion to what we sowed(Law of proportions)
2nd Corin 2:.. whoeva sows sparingly will reap sparingly.. we always reap in proportion to what we sowed.if u spend lots of time on immoral things ur harvest will be in a different season n proportionally more n it wont be good.. bt if u sow in intergrity, ur harvest will be in a different season n proportionally more than u sowed n u will av a tym of bliss. Invest well
6) We reap the full harvest of the good only if we persevere
Galatians 6:9-10 if we don’t grow weary of doing good.
Ecclisiastes…cast ur bread upon the waters n u will find it after many days. Sometimes we seem to wait for long for the harvest. God is never early n neva late bt always on time, due time, appointed time. To reap the full benefit of the good, persevere n he will bless u at the appointed time.
7) We cant do anything bout past harvest, bt we can do evrytng bout future harvest
This is not a scary message bt a wake uo call for us to take charge of our future coz what we do today willm determine the life we gona live tomorrow..dont fooled by one minute fun n a lifetime of sorrow rather sow that time in intergrity n in due time u shall reap the total harvest of the good
We reap what we sowed or others sowed on our behalf. Smtimes u go thro badtimes coz of things u neva did bt smbdy did n thus they affect you today. Sow intergrity so u n those around cn enjoy a good harvest in future

1. U.S. President Obama
2. China President Hu Jintao
3. Russian President Vladimir Putin
4. U.S federal reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
5. Google founders Sergey Brin & Larry Page
6. Telmex founder.. Carlos slim helu
7. Newscorp chairman Rupert Murdoch
8. Wal-Mart chief executive Michael T. Duke
9. Saudi king Abdullah bin Adbul Aziz al Saud
10. Microsoft founder Bill Gates
Forbes used a four-part formula to rank the world's most powerful, considering the number of people a person influences, their ability to project power, control or access to wealth and how actively a person wields their power.
Lets dissect this kidogo. Obama hs given speeches all over. When he was in Egypt the whole world stoped n listened, china n russia’a presidents are powerful in their own way. Ben Bernanke is the guy who made choices that saved the financial meltdown in the world. of course we all kno google. Carlos slim is rich bt comes from mexico which hs serious drug n crime issues, how did he make it thro that. Rupert Murdoch controls some of the worlds biggest media. Wal-mart CEO has control over pple’s spending. The Saudi king knows how powerful it is to av oil n he uses the power. Bill Gates is a business leader bt a philanthropist. In all these people, they did something.. AT THE DEFINING MOMENT, THEY SAID THE RYT THING OR STOOD FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN… its ma message today, at that point u r supposed to stand for the truth, intergrity, salvation, stand for ur God, stand for morality… do not think a lot, or be scaredof popularity or what people will say. Do the right thing n learn from the most powerful pple in the world… exercise power at that defining moment...all the pple above are either political or business leaders.. religious leaders didnt make it to this list.. i think most av become soo political or business minded and forgoten their calling.. we need people in all fields n until awa church leaders get true to the calling.. the world will continue being run by politicians n business leaders.. bt i do agree with the list

its always a complicated talk bt there myt be some serious differences between this two words. Allow me to engage ur minds in ma famous 2cents of advice.. its widely quoted from diff places so credit is given where due
- The manager administers; the leader innovates.
– The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
– The manager maintains; the leader develops.
– The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
– The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
– The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
– The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
– The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon.
– The manager imitates; the leader originates.
– The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
– The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person.
– The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.
Now between the two who wuld u rather be… n also who wuld u rather lead you.. and in ministry n companies who do u think fits better.. can somebody get a good balance of the two

Just a question?
How many lectures av u attended n notes av u writtem since u went to school
How many conferences n seminars av u attendee n carried notes home
How many sermons av u listened to n memorized bible verses
Atheist n unbelievers have some of the best knowledge of bible bt nt God
Financial advisors are some of the poorest investors ever
Pastors n counselors have some of the most weird families ever.
Not because they don’t knot the truth but don’t practice
Superior knowledge of things without application brings a culture of criticsm, know it all attitude, arrogance and pride
Knowing what everybody should do apart from urself
Superior knowledge of the bible without application n prayer causes a form
Of righteousness called self-righteousness .
God says awa spiritual acts are like filthy rugs before him
One thing that most pple don’t nid today is anotha bible study, sermon, lecture n conference coz u have so much knowledge yet to be applied
Shuld we be paid more becoz we have a masters degree or bcause of awa superior application of awa undagraduate knowledge
The bible is not a refrence material that shuld be quoted in urguements but a living word that shuld transform a pple, dividing to the innermost being of the soul n taking captive every thot to make it obedient to Christ
Christ does not kno..but is the living word..he says he is the truth
As a Christian av changed pple lives wit application of the word than with superior knowledge of the same tho the knowledge is very important
Take the challenge look at all the knowledge you got. Look at how much u av applied..do u notice that u got a goldmine..look at what that word reveals in application..
What has a bigger impact..the one in mind or the small amount u have applide
