Knowing What You Need

Mathew 7:5 - You Hypocrite, take the plank out of your eye and then you will see the spec in your brothers eye.


When my children were younger, I used to help organize and go on mission trips with our church every summer. One summer trip was eye opening for me because we were working at a homeless shelter in Maryland.


All the people there, or at least a lot of them, had skills but we're unemployed and did not have any funds to live on. The shelter was in the country, and we were there to help do maintenance, work on the garden, and lead Bible Studies.



It amazed me that a couple of the people, though they were destitute, had cell phones. I was thinking this was a waste of money for them to have cell phones. #visionmission #vision #visionmissionplan


One day I got talking to one of the men and asked him why he spent what little money he had on a cell phone. He did not have money for many other things and this seemed like a frivolous expense.


He told me that there was only one phone in the facility that the people there could use. It was in the dining area and if someone called you on it, a person would first have to answer it.


Then they would have to go find you, and you would have to hope by the time you got back to the phone that the person had not hung up. If you did get to speak to the person you had to deal with all the noise in the dining hall while you were trying to talk to them. #lifeissues


If you are looking for a job this was usually the death knell for getting the interview for employment. As I thought about our conversation I realized that this was indeed a problem for the unemployed and homeless. #companyplanning #corporateplanning


I came away realizing that I had not thought about the many things that people go through when they are struggling. How about yourself are you struggling with areas where people think you are being frivolous but you feel are necessities.


Do they understand your vision where you're going, what you need to accomplish this and what you want to achieve? Lets revisit your vision and where you want your company to go.


I give seminars on creating or revisiting what your companies vision is and how to use it to craft your mission statement and your business plan on where you want to go.
