Saturday's show was the hardest show to write. Finding information for the radio show is sometimes easy. We planned that our show last Saturday would be is the American dream dead? We picked that one because of an article that was found written by Rick Newman that was orginally posted in US Weekly and published on Yahoo. What Rick was trying to say was that if you do not live in america you can achieve the american dream of starting your business. That hard work and dedication were not needed. I do not believe that. Everyone works hard, you have to inorder to start and run a business. You can't just start up a business and sit back and doing nothing to bring income in. You have to work at it, you have to advertise and get the word out about your business. That's the only way to do it.
And then there was the interview from LaDerrick. He gave praise to God because gave him his business and with the help of the Lord his business is flourishing. He takes every opportunity to pray to God, to minister God's word to those he works with. It's not just LaDerrick that works hard on his fitness business but it's also the Lord, shaping and molding LaDerrick's business.
One of the people that I like to refer to for inspiration for my business models is Jim Henson. Why? Because he was a man of God. Prayed to God and gave thanks to God for his blessings. God used Jim Henson to bring his message to the world. Be kind, never give up, forgiveness. Just about everything I learned I learned from the Frog. Yes you read that correctly. A Frog. I learned leadership skills, I learned it's best to treat others kindly and I learned team work. Any child who grew up watching the muppets learned this at an early age. And still do if they watch Sesame Street. Most parents let their children was Sesame Street to learn the fundamentals of early education, from A, B, C's to 1, 2, 3. Your children are also being taught how to be kind and share. Treat others as you would want to be treated. All of this is God's message from the begining.
Is there anything wrong with sitting back and letting someone else have the wheel? No, because God will work your business the way that he wants it to go. He will lead and direct it and tell you what he wants you to do. As I have said before it's best to know who to hand your stuff off to. And the Lord is the only one that I trust for my business. He will direct those to me for helping me grow and getting things done right.
I do have a retraction though. I said on Saturday that we were doing as Jesus asks, Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. This is not true. This is a Chinese proverb not the preachings of Christ. The Gospels tell us that Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right. (2 Thessalonians 3: 12-14)
Well I'm outta here. See you another time in the big blog world.
