There is more than one kind of tiredness, you know, don’t you? You can get physically exhausted from work in which you use your body a lot. Especially if you use muscles you don’t normally use every day. Your bowels can get sluggish too. The old advice to take a spring tonic might help. You [...]

Sometimes we don’t know that we already know enough to produce a money-maker. Sometimes we discover that by watching how others do it. But it is also possible to produce a money-maker and to be stalled with it. All because we don’t know the tricks to advertising and promoting it. Where can you learn all [...]

If someone told you they could turn one idea for an e-book into total online sales of $253,603.47 would you believe them? I might! You see I’ve learned about the value of e-books, and really smart marketing. One fellow in the UK seems to have got it down to a science now. Neil Shearing can [...]

When you are designing for web pages and sites, you soon discover that nice graphics can add an atmosphere and touch which affects how people read or perceive your text. The information you have for them.

Some of us can get really distracted when trying out the making and placing of such graphics. It’s easy for a creative type of person to go overboard and spend far-FAR too much time on this kind of stuff.

“If only the next step is clear, then the one thing to do is take it! Don’t pledge your Lord or yourself to any steps beyond what you know. You don’t see them yet.” (Amy Carmichael).

Now isn’t that good advice?

Steps to Seeing A Vision of Your Christian Business:
1. Brainstorm alone and in prayer for goals and purposes
2. Brainstorm with others you trust and respect to refine and add to the mix
3. Research the main options that rise as good possibilities; answer the unknowns

Not everyone is a voracious reader like I am, but the best way to get good ideas, and your intuition tuned to recognize trouble and wiser business options is to saturate your mind with the reading of books and websites where others share their own stories of how they did it. You may take in far more than you’ll ever use. But in the end, those who recognize great business opportunities and those who seem to just always know what to do, are people who have done this. Never take on the attitude that you know it all. Keep learning!

I discovered this morning that I had run out of saved notes for this blog, so I went online to do some learning and exploring in Linux. There is NO END to all one can learn. It didn’t take me long to find my way from my bookmarks to this page;

“If we just give God the little that we have, we can trust Him to make it go around.” (Gloria Gaither)

Have you found that to be true also? Sometimes we think we are so limited. We can’t do our dreams right now, so we put them on a back burner, and after a time of frustration, we resign ourselves to the idea that they are not going to happen.

I have web designing on my brain these days. Heavy duty! I’m renovating my own three sites, plus one for a mission organization, and starting a new one for another ministry. Plus, I’m helping two friends with theirs; one to revise all the pages a bit, and the other up from scratch, so to speak.

I’m thankful now for all the things I’ve learned by trial and error over the past seven years, but it occurs to me that I should make a list of the things I wish someone had taught me at the beginning. It would have saved me heaps of time, and got me ahead faster. Sometimes when we pass along such lessons, someone else can be spared many delays and frustrations. So hold on while I compile my list.
