Reorganize your
schedules – schedule times for quality fellowship with God, daily prayers,
Bible reading and study, fasting, praise and worship. Also create time for
additional study on your industry to broaden your knowledge base as well as
access network and collaboration opportunities. Also, schedule quality time in
enabling business environments to meet with business associates to network,
exchange ideas and even take decisions to partner with them. These are not
things you jump out of bed to do. You organize your schedule such activities so
that your schedule is not haphazard but proactive, meetings with people and
activities are scheduled to achieve divine purposes because they are planned
and therefore outcomes are expected.
What you do with
the time allocated to you on a daily basis, whether by investing it or
frittering it speaks volumes. Time invested translates to success, wealth,
fame, honor, accomplishment of divine purpose while time frittered
unfortunately leads to poverty, shame, dishonor and humiliation. The sad story
of the young man devoid of understanding Proverbs Chapter 24 is more than
enough instruction in the wise management of time. Blessed with a beautiful
vineyard to manage, the young man opted to fritter time and left the vineyard
to decay. If he had any value of time and respected time, he would have known
that time lost is hardly ever recouped and significantly the consequences are
dire. If you respect time, and invest time like the Biblical Joseph and the many
historical and contemporary success stories the world parades, your name will
also make that list. Significantly, you will become a positive reference point
to many generations simply because you valued time, respected time and invested
time. May God in His infinite wisdom give you the grace to value and respect
time. Ironically, time is freely given by God to everyone and significantly in
equal amounts. So it is what you do with your own share of time that makes the
difference.
Reorganize Your
Wardrobe
Clothes either
open or close doors. Your appearance should therefore open the right doors for
you; that is grant you unrestricted access to the right business partners,
business organizations and relationships. The onus then is on you to decide
whether your wardrobe will open the right doors for you or not. Take time to
observe and note the dress code and ethic for your industry and constituency
before investing in a wardrobe that will open the right doors for you.
A rolling stone
they say gathers no moss. So also are activities that keep you forever busy but
with no milestones achieved. You are forever doing a dance in circles that do
not move you from point A to B when ideally; every activity should move you
from Point A to B and so on. Therefore, plan your activities to lead you the
way of accomplishing set goals and objectives.
Reorganize Your
Finances
Financial
resources should be strategically channeled into activities and relationships
that will deliver profits for whatever business you are involved in. it could
be for enhancing products or services, enhancing the capacity of your staff or
even you to always deliver quality products and services which bless humanity.
Reorganize Your
Mental Processes
Streamline your
mental processes to what needs to be done to achieve set goals and objectives.
Allowing your mental processes to run riot will crowd out the main ideas you
need to make real progress. Therefore, sieve or filter mental processes and
focus on what needs to be strategically thought out and do same.
Reorganize Your
Speech and Utterances
Speeches should
be well thought out before being made. This of course should be a function of
quality mental processes – you analyze words and phrases for their import and
impact on your hearers before making them so that each word and phrase is
targeted at accomplishing set goals and objectives. Have you ever wondered how
the Obamas of this world always seem to have the right combination of words and
phrases that motivate people to act!
