What does a business need to succeed?

Are you struggling to reach the level of success you desire? Yes? So then, what do you need to do to be successful? Three key things. If you have felt overwhelmed with growing your business, you must have asked the question, what do you need to do to be successful? The fact is, there are three crucial components to entrepreneurial success. The most important is a positive mindset. The three things you need to succeed A positive mindset, strategy, and action—that's it. Many struggle to achieve a positive mindset because they are looking for it in the wrong places - worldly places, new age philosophies, and other people. Without a positive mindset, you cannot focus on creating efficient strategies that will guide you to success. And without strategy, you don't know what action to take. In addition, mindset influences the actions you take. You will not take positive, effective action if you have a negative mindset. Before we go any further, recognize that you need help to succeed. You may be surprised at where the best help will come from. What do you need to do to be successful? Prioritize your mindset, as it is the most important of the three. You can create strategies all day, but if your mindset—your beliefs and thoughts—is unfavorable, you will not implement the plan effectively or make the right choices to take the right actions. With that said, what do you need to do to be successful? Focus on your beliefs and thoughts. A positive mindset comes from the Word of God. How can you adopt a positive mindset when you feel stuck in a cycle, maybe a life-long cycle, of doubt, fear, self-criticism, imposter syndrome, and lack? God gives us specific advice on this in Scripture. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Paul says, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have the divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." In Romans 12:2, Paul wrote, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then, you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will." Paul tells us in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

What do you need to do to be successful?  - Friday Faith Foundations

Stop trading time for money. That is a mindset of lack, and God didn't create you for lack; He created you for an abundant life in Him. How can you develop an abundance mindset? The transformation from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset begins with Scripture. It's also important to recognize that trading time for money as an entrepreneur is not an abundance mindset. The Bible tells us we have an abundance. It all began when God created the world. He made it plentiful, beautiful, and perfect. Then, He created Adam and Eve. And the world was still perfect—until. . . Satan distracted Eve. The Garden of Eden was abundant in everything Adam and Eve needed to live. According to the free dictionary, the name Eden means a delightful place, a paradise. In addition, it is a state of innocence, bliss, or ultimate happiness. God created Eden as the perfect place for Adam and Eve to live abundantly. In Genesis 2:16, God told Adam, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden, and in verse 17, the exception was given. He was not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Eat freely from every tree except one. Instead of seeing the abundance she had, Eve let Satan convince her she was living in lack because of the one tree she was told she couldn't eat from. How often do we follow Eve's example and focus on what we don't have instead of the abundance God has given us? Satan distracted Eve. And he distracts us today, too. Think about how often you think of what you don't have instead of what you do. Many of us complain about not having enough time. Eve had everything she needed, but the devil made her doubt that she had enough because she didn't have what the Tree of Knowledge could give her. We do the same thing when we have a scarcity mindset about time, resources, knowledge, or talents. Putting a dollar sign on our time and trading time for money is an example of seeing time as limited instead of seeing the value our gifts and knowledge allow us to provide for others and be more responsible with our time. What does Scripture say about an abundance mindset? Read the full show notes and access all links.   

God wants you to have an abundance mindset

Your personal brand strategy includes your style to differentiate you

There's a lot of noise about making six, seven, or eight figures. And if you don't, does that mean you aren't successful? Does the amount you make alter your identity as a successful business owner? If the business world has made you feel less than adequate, I want you to stop for a second and consider this question: What does the Bible say about your identity? Your worth is not tied to your business. It is easy to link your worth to your business's success. When things are going well, and clients and revenue are flowing in steadily, you may feel confident and worthy of success. But what happens when clients and revenue are only trickling in or not coming in? Do you continue to feel confident and worthy of success? Or do you begin to doubt your worth as a health coach, life coach, healthcare provider, writer, creative, or whatever niche your business falls into? Satan uses doubt to distract you. God may plan to slow things down and refocus your efforts, redirect you, or intentionally give you time to rest or evaluate your business. But Satan takes advantage of this time and needles you and creates chaos in your mind, heart, and soul. You most likely will begin to ask many what-if questions: what if this isn't my purpose? Am I on the wrong path? What if things don't turn around? Where will the next client come from? What if, what if, what if? When this happens, there's only one thing to do. Go to Scripture and discover the answer to the ultimate question: What does the Bible say about your identity? I need to do this, too. We all do. Because we are all, at one time or another, distracted by Satan and his antics. However, we do not have to succumb to him and his deception because we can look directly at Scripture to understand what God says about our identity. And what He says is beautiful. Be assured through what the Bible says about your identity. The Bible also assures us that we are free from darkness, as found in Isaiah 61:1. And John tells us in John 17:15 that we are protected from the evil one. Similarly, in Romans 5:1 Paul reminds us that we are justified by faith. Likewise, in Hebrews 13:5, we are told we are not forsaken. So, what does the Bible say about your identity? Your worth is not tied to your revenue. The amount of money you make as a business owner, the mistakes you make, and the number of clients you have do not define you. Your identity is not defined by dollar signs or what others say about you but by what Christ says about you.   For more Bible verses related to entrepreneurship, download the free eBook, 37 Bible Verses Every Entrepreneur Should Reflect On And Live By.    Read the full show notes and access all links.
