Profitable Christians Creates Debt-free Wealth

Jobs = security is a fallacy pushed since the industrial era.  Once the government got people off their farms and out of a mindset of self-sufficiency, they paraded big government, jobs, and social security as the new financial path.  Generations later, this is a deep hook that is painful to remove but just must be. We must return to self-sufficiency.  Learning to self-sustain and create our own income streams will become more and more urgent in the years to come.  Starting now is better than starting later. In fact, the goal is multiple streams of income because things happen in seasons.  The profitable harvest of today will not yield in another season.  Farmers know this, and that is why crop rotation and other strategies are in place for them. Let's talk about the golden handcuffs we call jobs and how to shift into creating alternative income streams for the 'what if...', 'just in case...', and 'God forbid...' days that could very well be on our horizon. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.s

The Bible does speak very negatively about debt, while at the same time giving guidelines for it. There are guidelines for those who lend and warnings to those who borrow.  The strategy of using debt to generate wealth should only be done by those who have already established a debt-free mindset.  Hating debt and seeing it for what it really is, means if you reluctantly use debt to achieve a specific goal, the debt-free mindset will drive this person to borrow as little as possible and repay it with utmost priority.  The average person does not have this discipline so I would never advise this unless they do so under an eye of accountability.

Justin Barclay is another RISING STAR, I have found and want to introduce you to.  He is a mover and shaker in his own sphere of influence. Justin had the job of his dreams and lost it, and till tell you it was the best thing that happened to him.  Being a person with a positive mindset, rather than wallow in self-pity, that emotion drove Justin to find success in many areas of his life. The same strategies that helped him permanently lose 100+ pounds are the same strategies that bring him massive success in media, marketing, and business. Justin's passion is connecting with people and lives to inspire, motivate and encourage others to live "life on purpose". --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebibleonbusiness/support

FACT: Money will always be exchanged for something more valuable. 1Samuel 9:8 "The servant answered Saul again, “Here, I have with me a quarter of a shekel of silver, and I will give it to the man of God to tell us our way.” Read for full context in 1 Samuel 9.  Here are some of the things this show will look at: Here are some noteworthy business applications from this story: 1. Saul was on a mission but his strategy was D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself, 'winging it') 2. The D.I.Y. approach was not bringing Saul the result he desired 3. His efforts were unprofitable for so long, his family was now concerned 4. Saul's last option was to quit or get help 5. Saul realized he had a problem that he could not solve on his own. 6. Saul was willing to pay for a solution. 7. Saul's problem was urgent, and time-bound. 8. The man of God had the solution to his problem. 9. In this moment, Saul had a cash flow problem.  He did not have a flow of cash. 10. Saul borrowed the money he needed  from a resource knowing his a

This show is for the Christian, who blends in so well with their surroundings; they are mistaken for being just like the crowd. Step UP!  STAND OUT! if you are also a leader or entrepreneur, this is even more urgent. Your time is NOW!  The Bible tells us to BE Salt & Light.  Neither can be hidden, So WHY DO WE HIDE? GET NOTICED! Yes, as you step up or step out, some will say you are conceited, brazen, attention seeking, calling attention to yourself, and so on.  Do it anyway.

According to a Facebook chat with a friend who is almost 50 years old, she was "too old" for the kind of work needed to have success in her life. Since I am the same age as she is, I challenged her on that because I do not feel too old for success, in fact, I am counting on success in my rebound from the financial disaster my family experienced in the 2006-2010 recession. Moses began his ministry to the children of Israel at 80 years old.  An Inc.com article shared the result of several powerhouse leaders who found their success on the other side of 40-years-old. I intend for this show to encourage you to rethink what OLD means, and if you are thinking you are getting too old for success, ditch that stinking thinking --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebibleonbusiness/support

If you want more or better customers you need something to attract them to your offer. "Bait your line for the fish you want to catch. The bigger the bait, the bigger the catch." Trudy Beerman If you are fishing for sharks, you don't throw a line near the shore with shrimp bait. You take a boat out deep and offer bigger fish as bait.  Know your audience then deliver an inviting offer. Let's take a look at Matthew 4:19 and see how this Bible verse is relevant business training for Christian entrepreneurs today. Matthew 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” (NIV) Dive in to this text with me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebibleonbusiness/support

If you want money, when you have it you would find a way to keep it, and make more of it.  If you want stuff, you find a way to get more stuff.  That is why you have DEBT, not MONEY! Your check book does not lie, and what it reveals is the most honest display of your true desire.  For many of you claiming you want more money, it's time to get honest. Your debit and credit card transactions reveal your deepest truth and it only takes a few minutes looking at it to tell you what that is.  Many of you would rather wallow in self-denial than hear your truth.  If you connect with me for help - you will be forced to come face to face with that truth. So, this show is a d.i.y. help for those of you who are not ready to explore your truth, not ready to connect with me to help you get real and fix it, or for those of you who believe you can fix yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebibleonbusiness/support

Scattered?  Multiple distractions? Unfocused?  This is never the intention, but it is the statistical end result for many.  As the start-up or home-based entrepreneur builds their business, wearing multiple hats is the order of the day. I know this scenario very well.  I lived that scattered approach for a long time and then one day I bit the bullet and decided to hire help.  BEST DECISION EVER!  Sometimes, doing less (of certain things) gives you so much more time (to do better things).   At first, I questioned the logic, timing, and fiscal responsibility of this decision. How much would I have to pay to get the kind of help I needed? Where was the money going to come from to pay her?Training her would take time, would it be worth it? if I invested in her and she quit later?  Would she work as I needed her to?  What would I delegate away and what would I continue to do myself? All legitimate questions that just happened to answer themselves as I dived in. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.sp

Popular kids, athletes, and members - we all know them. Even though popular people may not be identified as 'celebrities', they are, and they have fans who subconsciously follow them.  These people have fast credibility and strong influence. Big companies look out for these people and soon you see them being given freebies so they wear a certain thing, drink a certain thing, or get invited to certain places because these companies are anticipating that their 'fans' will follow, and we do. I love my solitude, I tended to shy away from crowds, and most of all - I perferred to be 'behind the scenes'.  However, this is the recipe for obscurity and obscurity will not help me accomplish my goals, nor get this urgent message of Profitable Stewardship out to those who need to hear it.

Shorts, tanks and swimsuits will soon be a regular part of our dress code as the weather warms up.  The idea of stripping down has many of us thinking of tightening up all that jiggles, hangs, and protrudes.  New year resolutions long ditched, swimsuit season brings a new resolve to finally fix our look. The nasty voices start creeping into our heads again, whispering hateful words designed to make us like ourselves less and less, especially when we look in a mirror.  Self-image is so important, and many of us do not realize how our self-image subconsciously sabotages our success.  The missed networking opportunity because we did not have anything to wear that we felt confident in.  The messed up relationship because we convinced ourselves that partner did not really like us because we are fat.  Deciding to eat another FATburger because, hey - what's one more pound gonna hurt anyway?

I don't care what Dave Ramsey and Susan Orman says.  You CANNOT save your way to wealth. If you listen to them long enough, you will cut every corner to save every dollar and spend so much energy doing that, that you forget to put time and energy into making money. Saving is a money keeping strategy, NOT a money making strategy.  Saving is a good thing to do, but some people have become 'penny wise and pound foolish'. This is an old phrase that means you are freaking missing the bigger picture!  More money will crush your debt, afford what you want and need, and create a more comfortable life for you and those people and organizations you love. MAKE MORE MONEY!    One way to do that is to BUY TIME!  This is counter to some of the saving strategies.  Cutting your lawn may save you $40, but paying someone $40 to cut your lawn may have bought you the two extra hours to grind out more than $40.  The reason why it is accepted that time is money is because most people trade time for money, and use money to buy t

Faith and business do mix.  The Young Messiah is the latest faith-based movie to hit the big screens, and the only one made to-date, focusing on a creative take on the life of a young, Jewish, Jesus. The Director behind this creative blend of faith and Hollywood-style business is Cyrus Nowrasteh and produced by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Goonies), Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe (The Help). This film is guaranteed to raise many theological debates as the Bible is pretty silent on Jesus in his young years.  Taken from a primarily Jewish perspective; the Young Messiah is a celebration of the holy family and their journey of faith. Mary is an especially strong character in this film and will appeal to women and mothers. Joseph is treated with great reverence, which is a welcome addition since he is absent from so many films about Jesus. His character will be an inspiration for men and fathers everywhere. Join me as I chat with Cyrus Nowrasteh about this production.  Be

REMINDER!  Barak Obama is no longer a Presidential option.  Those who love him will have to accept his departure from the Oval Office and make a selection from the available candidates.  Some of these Obama voters are very likely to be Trump voters going forward. Can Donald Trump make America great again?  As we come closer to the 2016 Elections, more and more American's are beginning to believe this. This show is in effect, a REPLAY of a show I did back in 8/25/2015, where a panel of registered Republican voters did an EARLY weigh-in on this matter, before Donald Trump was as popular an option as he is today.  In retrospect, it is interesting to note that some of us recognized early that of all the possible options presented to us, he may just be the best choice from the bunch. At the time of this replay, some of the candidates mentioned in the earlier show may have already dropped out of the race. Nevertheless, the content as it pertains to Trump is worthy of revisiting as the RNC fights the inevitable d

My peer, good friend, and the one I call when I need my head cleared - Value Mastery Coach, A.M. Williams joins me to weigh in on this topic. "A $1000 value for the price of $500".  These kinds of ads really tick me off.  This is a pet peeve of mine so forgive the rant.  Another comment I hear that annoys me is, "charge what you are worth".  There IS a difference between price and value and many understand it inherently, but seem to ignore it when it matters. PRICE is a reflection of the marketplace.  The cost to produce, price competitors charge, price the market will bear, target market, packaging, celebrity endorsements, and so on, can influence and impact price regardless of value. Value is PERCIEVED by the beholder.  One man's trash is another man's treasure, and that has everything to do with value. Once you understand that value is perceived and is not the same as price, you will market better, price better, and know that using a discount feature is simply a pricing strategy and not necessarily, a v
