Are You Too Busy to....? Good time management recognizes the universal temptation to do more and become ‘too busy.

Are You Giving Scripturally? 01/23/2024

Are You Giving Scripturally? Every Christian understands that there are certain fundamentals of the Christian faith, and that ‘giving’ is one of them.

Are You Too Comfortable in The Marketplace to Be Effective in The Kingdom? 01/16/2024

Are You Too Comfortable in The Marketplace to Be Effective in The Kingdom? One of Christianity’s greatest failures has been the separation of the church from the world of business and commerce – acting on the premise that there are some things which are secular, and others which are sacred. Christian companies and their owners and executives must share some of the blame, as they have been comfortable following the worldly approach to business. As a result, countless millions of people around the world and across generations have never known the touch of God’s love expressed through a relationship with a Christian company.

Are You Too Busy with Good Things That You Don't Have Time For The Best? 12/12/2023

Are You Too Busy with Good Things That You Don't Have Time For The Best? We are all too often incredibly busy – but with the wrong things. Activity becomes addictive and we become automatons, forever pursuing the satisfaction of accomplishment but rarely assessing the value of that accomplishment. We do it because it’s there, not because we have decided to do it. Intentionality suffers as activity prospers. We run the risk of living a busy life, but being busy with the wrong things. What if all these things we’re busy with really weren’t worth it? And we never saw it? Here are four ways to avoid this waste of time. /episode/index/show/christianbusinessinsights/id/28726118

Is God With US? Does God really care for me? How do I know? Those are two questions that Christians often ask.

Spend Sales Dollars Wisely 10/31/2023

Spend Sales Dollars Wisely Over my career as a sales expert, I’ve personally and contractually worked with over 500 sales organizations. I’ve learned some things. Here’s one: Very few chief sales officers have a good handle on the economics of the sales force. And very few entrepreneurs think about the economics of a sales system. Almost everyone can tell you what the amounts of the various categories on a P&L statement indicate. So, sales salaries, expenses, advertising costs, etc. are readily at hand. However, very few decision makers dig deeper. And that means that significant information is never uncovered, and decisions are made on the basis of superficial, and often flawed, information.
