 Due to the instant gratification world we live in, I observe people building houses (their lives) with little to no planning and preparation. I do strategic planning with organizations and individuals for a living. It is not easy for people to plan. Strategic planning in its simplest form is casting a vision and creating…

 2016 is all about making the most of ourselves and precious time is wasted every time we try to talk sense and reason to someone who is unwilling and/or unable to receive it. I learned from my own mistakes that the only time a human being is able to accept any type of correction…

 What is your treasure looking like these days? Are you storing it on earth or in heaven? I believe the best way to figure those questions out is to step back and take a look at what you are doing with your treasure. Do you primarily invest in your own wants and needs or…

 This thought came to me as I was reading Proverbs 17:19 “anyone who speaks boastfully invites disaster.” Talk is so cheap. Walk is so very valuable. How much time do you spend talking? How much time do you spend walking? An even better question is how much time do you spend planning your walk? …
