Overcoming the obstacles of writing your book
Posted by: | CommentsMany of you have expressed a sincere interest
in authoring your own book. I believe EVERYONE
has a book inside of them, but most people who
want to write and publish don’t follow through
for two reasons:
They believe they don’t have the talent and/or
the time to actually write the book.
They don’t have the resources (i.e., funding)
or the right connections to actually get it
published.
I want to help take away both of these obstacles
so there are no more excuses for not going
forward with your book. I have found a couple
of resources that can help you overcome these
two reasons so you can fulfill your God-called
dream!
1) First is a series of f.ree articles on book
writing and publishing that are fantastic from
Steve Manning, where he will show you how to
write a book in 14 days or less. I have
personally invested in his program, which I
highly recommend. You can access these f.ree
articles by going here:

2) Second is a method of economically printing
your book yourself if you don’t have the
fi.nancial means to do so. This is a great way
to start by at least getting your first batch
of books printed.

So, you see, I’m hoping to take away all the
obstacles and help you on your way to becoming
an author! No more excuses!

Building Your Business Credit
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been introduced to a company called Corporate Credit Concepts that helps people build business credit.
I want to pass this on because I know this service could be a help to many of you with your own business given the tight lending market we’re in. And what I really like is that it shows you how to go about it without personal guarantees.
You can go to their website here…

P.S. This company also offers legal personal credit restoration, which you can check out as well on the site. However, I’m still checking on this aspect of their business and this will be the subject of a separate e-mail for those who are interested in getting their credit cleaned up.

Doing business God’s way
Posted by: | CommentsHave you ever noticed that sometimes God’s way doesn’t make sense when you look at it in the natural?
A few months back, I had the honor of personally sitting down with Truett Cathy, the founder of the remarkably successful Chick-Fil-A chain. We had an incredible thirty minutes or so together, and for those who don’t know, Mr. Cathy is an extremely dedicated Christian who still teaches Sunday School in his church (he has been for over 50 years).
Chick-Fil-A continues to remain closed for business on Sundays because Mr. Cathy chose to honor God’s laws rather than typical business. He said, “Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and directing our attention to things more important than our business. If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work. Through the years, I have never wavered from that position.”
Many “experts” said that the business would never make it when they were just starting out because of that decision. Many shopping malls refused to let them in back in the late 60’s because of that decision.
However, 40 years later, they have over 1,400 stores and are approaching $3 billion in annual sales. And to top it off, they’re still a private, family-owned company.
God’s laws or directions do supersede natural laws and what sometimes makes business sense to us.
There were times that I bought properties because they may have made business sense to do so. I bought them just because I could, but was it what I was supposed to do? I found out later that this wasn’t always the case.
It made business sense for me to retire as an architect, and I was proud to be able to say I did. But what I later realized is that God had a calling on my life as an architect, especially helping pastors build their churches and bringing their God-given visions to reality. I had neglected and even abandoned that call, and I had to repent for doing so.
And sometimes it’s just a matter of the right timing. How many times have we heard a Word from the Lord, and we rush out to make it happen on our own because we automatically think that He means right away?
Did that strike a chord with someone else besides me?
Blessings!

Are you relying on one income source?
Posted by: | CommentsIn a three-year period, I bought millions of dollars in residential real estate. I still believe that real estate is one of the best vehicles to create wealth, and that everyone should invest in real estate whether it’s your main income or you’re just buying a couple of houses a year to add to your retirement portfolio.
But some things happened in my real estate business that caused my monthly cash flow to go down significantly. I will follow up in the future about some of the lessons learned during this time specifically regarding real estate, but the point right now is…
The income from the residential real estate business was all I had at the time – income that I had come to rely on as a sole source.
God used the situation to teach me more than ever the importance of multiple streams of income. I had always believed in it, but thought I didn’t have to concern myself with it, since real estate was MY business, and I would NEVER need anything else, right?
Even if you have a steady job, I recommend that you have your own business of some kind on the side instead of relying on that one income source for obvious reasons. Don’t have fear of losing your job, but be wise and prepare in case things don’t go as planned.
If you are diverse in your businesses, investments, and real estate, then you won’t be affected as greatly as markets change in various areas. If there is a bump in the road with one of your markets (or the loss of a job), you have the others that continue to flow. In the current economy, this is not just a good idea, but could be essential for the future.
This situation in my life is what birthed the Multiple Streams of Income for the Christian Entrepreneur 7-CD Audio Program. If you haven’t picked up a copy, you can click here to learn more about the program and the whole idea of multiple streams.
Now I have three main streams of income that I am currently building with some others in the works. I want real estate (commercial and residential) to be just one of many sources for me. This time, I hope I’m building wealth much smarter and wiser.
Thank you for listening!

Is Fear Holding You Back?
Posted by: | CommentsYou may have thought for some time that you would like to start your own business or at least do something different to change your financial situation.
But with the economic uncertainties we are facing right now, maybe you feel this is not the time to step out and take a risk. On the contrary, it is more risky to sit back and do nothing than it is to step out and do something new.
This is exactly what Jesus was telling us in the parable of the minas, or talents, in Luke 19, when the “wicked servant” buried his investment in the ground because he was too afraid to take any risks.
The truth is that it’s more important than ever, right now, to implement new strategies in your life. Now is the best time to start or build a business, or to start investing in something besides your 401(k)s.
Many of us blame the economic challenges as the reason we should sit back and do nothing, but what was the excuse a few years ago when the economy was thriving (at least on the surface), and we didn’t act on any new strategies then? The reason is: FEAR!
Trust in the Lord to give you discernment for what you specifically are to do during these uncertain times, but don’t let fear be the reason you are holding back!

Using your God-given knowledge
Posted by: | CommentsMany of you have indicated interest about information marketing, because it’s a great way to help others with the giftings, knowledge, and interests that the Lord has given you (and it’s also a great business model), so I wanted to find a great resource for you on how to create such a business.
I believe I have found that resource in Dan Kennedy for two reasons:
1) He is one of the most well-known info-marketers out there. While I’m not sure if he is a Christian, he has mentored many Christians in business and ministry to help get their
messages out, and…
2) I really couldn’t believe the price his new course INFO RICHES is available for, given the massive amounts of information in it! However, in this promotion, they have told me that the current launch price will expire on December 8th at 12:00 noon EST.
Even if you don’t fully understand exactly what information marketing is, I encourage you to click the link below just to learn more about it!
Here is the e-mail promotion…
******************************************
Well, the doors are open to Dan Kennedy’s
INFO RICHES…
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=880779
…and the countdown for their 200 fr*ee
fast mover incentives, that includes a
case study of how a carpet cleaner and
convenience store clerk created $117 million
starting from a kitchen table and $300,
is now on, and diminishing by the minute.
Given the soon-to-be-holiday season of
it all, I can’t tell you whether all the
Fast Action Bonuses (probably the hottest
Bonus I’ve seen bundled with an offer!)
will be gone within the hour. (it could
be gone by the time you are reading this
as I got it out a little late!)
I can’t predict how fast the 200 copies will go.
But I can say that this release already
has over 4000 “First in Line” registrants
and an affiliate base of over 650+ marketers!
Yet only 200 copies of this special
fast action incentive will be released.
Again, the doors are open to INFO
RICHES…
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=880779
If there’s ever been a “bonus” that was
bundled with an offer that you should
NOT miss out on, it’s this one:
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=880779
******************************************
I have many of Dan Kennedy’s products myself, and this new promotion seems to take the best of the best and put it together in one collective program.
Blessings!

P.P.S. Again, they have told me that the current price is good until December 8th at 12:00 noon!
