Matthew 7:7-8

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Asking God for help in finding your courage is not something to be afraid of and you want to make sure that you are putting in the work when you are asking God for help. You cannot just ask and look for courage when you are not helping yourself by acting by doing what you need to do in order to find your confidence. When you are seeking out confidence always make sure that you are being repetitive because nothing comes without work.

Matthew 5:37

“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”

Proverbs 11:3

“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”

Integrity is everything and making sure that you have integrity is important because you want to make sure you are doing the right thing. Doing the right thing only when you are being noticed is not integrity, integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.

Matthew 7:7-8

““Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Everyone fights with not having enough courage and we all need to push through that and fight for the courage we need to be successful and so that we can be confident. Without courage we cannot be confident if we do not know how.

Proverbs 29:11

“Fools give full vent to their rage; but the wise bring calm in the end.”

There are going to be so many things in life that we can’t control and the more we dwell on the things we can’t control the harder it will be for us to move forward and get moving forward in our lives. Your emotions are one of the many things you can control so make sure that you are focusing and putting your emotions first so that you can have contagious confidence.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Psalms 32:8

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

You are in control of your freedom, no one can tell you that you don’t have freedom and you can’t think that the people who are in office can control what you have as freedoms. Your freedom and your family's freedom is all up to you and your family.

Proverbs 22:6-7

“Start children off on the way they should go,and even when they are old they will not turn from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.”

When we are working on maximizing now for our future we also want to make sure that we are teaching our children what is important and how to maintain the business we started. With having our own business we know eventually that we will be passing it down to our children so it is important that we are teaching them the importance of making money, getting relationships with their clients and getting new ways to improve as they go along.

Colossians 3:23-24

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

It’s important that you are always doing your best. We are in some tough times right now and it’s important that you are able to work on starting your business now so that you can build your empire and start making your future better and help you focus on you and your family's future so that you can be successful.

Proverbs 22:6-7

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.”

Family is so important and it’s really important that we are teaching them what we learn to not only better our future but to also better their future. When we are teaching our family the information we were and are being given we want to make sure that we are getting our information from a valuable source and that the information that was given to us that is or was wrong that we learn about the correct information we were supposed to receive so we can pass on the correct and not the wrong.

Exodus 4:1-5

“Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. 3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.””

Proverbs 4:7

“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom. Though it cost all you have,[b] get understanding.”

When you are focusing on your future you want to think about your financial freedom as well. Finances play a big part in running a business and everyday life. Now, money is not everything but you want to make sure that you are going to be financially stable in life and in your business as well as for your family who will take over for your business in the future. Coming out of the financial wilderness means to come into the now and figure out what you need to do in order to make sure your finances are going to be good and secure for the future.

Matthew 9:20-22

“Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.”

Focusing on our future is always the goal. When we are moving forward in life we want to make sure that we are going to have a good future, not only for us but also for our families. When you have your own business or are starting a business you are setting yourself up for future success. With having a business you need to be willing to learn from not only your mistakes, but also the mistakes of others so that you are able to better your business faster and more effectively. You don’t want to continue to make mistakes and lose your business, but with mistakes comes lessons and those are lessons that you can pass on to your family and to others as they start to build their own businesses.
