My Own Business?My Own Business?My Own Business?My Own Business?

To start a small business, especially in the current conditions of global finan-cial insecurity, requires courage as well as careful planning. In this article you will learn how to start a success-ful business in seven easy steps.

Step One: Initial InvestmentStep One: Initial InvestmentStep One: Initial InvestmentStep One: Initial Investment

Some business writers tend to place market research before initial invest-ment, emphasizing on it as the first step towards starting up a small busi-ness. Keep in mind, however, that finding start-up capital is the corner-stone of every successful business, be it small, medium or large. It's an ur-ban legend that Rockefeller made his first million selling apples. Some peo-ple say that his uncle had lent him a million dollars for a startup which sounds far more plausible. Now, if your uncle is not a millionaire, you can just as well go to the local office of your bank and ask their business advisors for start-up packages and solutions. Of course, you will have to pay some interest on the money, but you may consider it the price of your business success. Get familiar with the various financing op-tions and the amount of money your lenders are willing to grant. Of course, you should have at least a general idea of the nature of your business.

Step 2: Market ResearchStep 2: Market ResearchStep 2: Market ResearchStep 2: Market Research

Once you find possible sources for a startup capital, it's time to make a thorough market research and busi-ness planning. In general, a good market research boils down to deter-mining who is going to buy the

product that you sell, deciding whether there is a niche on the mar-ket for your product, and calculating the market price of your product, which is directly related to your pro-duction costs. Your profit is more or less guaranteed if you can make a high-quality product with minimum production costs.

Step Three: Find a Good LayerStep Three: Find a Good LayerStep Three: Find a Good LayerStep Three: Find a Good Layer

If you are planning to start your own business, you should hire an attorney who is experienced in counseling bud-ding businessmen.

Step Four: Find a Good AccountStep Four: Find a Good AccountStep Four: Find a Good AccountStep Four: Find a Good Account

Book-keeping can be a daunting ex-perience for a newbie in the business world. That's why you need a good and experienced accountant to do this for you. In addition to keeping your books balanced, a good account-ant can save you a small fortune pre-venting some unnecessary expenses. Remember that the accountant and the attorney are the second most im-portant people in a company after its owner.

Step Fife: Choose a Form For Your Step Fife: Choose a Form For Your Step Fife: Choose a Form For Your Step Fife: Choose a Form For Your BusinessBusinessBusinessBusiness

Choosing the form of your business means to decide on whether it will operate as a limited liability, personal liability or a joint stock company. You'd better consult with your lawyer and your accountant on this issue. It very much depends on the product or service you will offer.

Step six: Choose a Company NameStep six: Choose a Company NameStep six: Choose a Company NameStep six: Choose a Company Name

If you ask what's in a company's name, the answer is EVERYTHING! The com-pany's name is how your business will be known on the market. Ideally, the name should describe the main activities of your business in a couple of worlds.

Step Seven: Get All the Paperwork DoneStep Seven: Get All the Paperwork DoneStep Seven: Get All the Paperwork DoneStep Seven: Get All the Paperwork Done

If you do not want your business to be stillborn, make sure you have all the licenses and permits for the activities of your company; otherwise, the local authorities may punish you with bulky fines and even force your company to close down.

Why Lack Of Capital Cannot Hold YOUR Business Back Think LACK OF CAPITAL Can Stop YOUR Business? Think LACK OF CAPITAL Can Stop YOUR Business? Think LACK OF CAPITAL Can Stop YOUR Business? Think LACK OF CAPITAL Can Stop YOUR Business?

Think Again!Think Again!Think Again!Think Again!

I grew up hearing different people talk time and time again about “Lack of capi-tal” as the reason why they could not start their own businesses or why they failed when they tried to start one.

Some readily latch on to the perfect ex-cuse (what I believe Americans call a "cop out") ...They say: even the banks will not lend money to them since they lack collateral and could not possibly pay back loans taken at the high interest rates charged by banks!

My submission – with apologies to all those who subscribe to the above ex-cuses - is that these problems are not insurmountable as most people seem to think they are. I make no idle claims here. Believe me - I live in a society where institutional - or any other kind of - support for business startup is VERY FAR from abundant (capitalized empha-sis VERY deliberate) compared to most other societies. So in that sense, I can relate to what they say – but only up to a point.

Going by my experiences and what I SEE many people DO daily, I am fully convinced the problem is frequently NOT how or where to get money/capital. THE PROBLEM, MOST TIMES, IS WITH THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO GET IT! I explain, below...

Learning That NOT Being Financially In-telligent Is A Bigger Problem Than NOT Having Capital

There are different dimensions of intelligence. Unfortunately, many “educated” people tend to be unedu-cated about this subject. Psychologi-cal research has proved irrevocably that different people are intelligent in different ways, depending on their predominating natural aptitudes.

For instance a person might not be academically strong (i.e. s/he has low "academic intelligence") but s/he might be extremely “intelligent” as a football player – what the scientists would call having “Psychomotor In-telligence”. Robert Kiyosaki, in his book “Rich Kid, Smart Kid” described over 10 different geniuses intelligences), which people can have. (Get a copy of that book and learn more about this subject).

He said his Rich dad often defined intelligence as “being able to make finer distinctions in life”. From read-ing Kiyosaki`s writings, I have ar-rived at my own definition of Finan-cial Intelligence as “having an un-derstanding of how to make creative use of money, in a way that ensures its perpetual availability”.

Consider this. Let's assume you got promoted and earned a huge salary increase, plus allowances and other benefits splashed on you in your workplace (or if you own a business, let's say you made an impressively huge profit margin on a deal). To buy that brand new big screen TV you've always wanted, Robert vises

advises that one spend money in a way that ensures one still holds on to it (i.e. the money) at the end of the day.

Using the ideas from Robert's books, one way to do it would be as follows: You would delay your “gratification” a little bit and take time to explore possible options of reasona-bly lucrative and reliable ventures/investments you could put your money into. Then, over a certain period of time, you would harvest the returns from your invest-ment to buy the TV, without touching the in-vested money. A bit simplistic I admit, but it communicates the message I want to get across. What is crucially important to note is that, you would have, by doing the above - or something similar -established a new in-come stream source, acquired new knowl-edge/skills plus a new ”toy” (the big screen TV) - and still HELD ON TO YOUR MONEY! Now THAT would be financial intelligence in action. Like Robert's rich dad would say, "the rich don't work hard – they make their money work hard for them”.

So, as an entrepreneur entering into busi-ness you should have this kind of mental disposition towards your monetary expendi-tures.

I started out in January 2002 with over N590,000.00(Last time I checked $1.00 USD = N130 approx. out here). A few short months later, believe it or not, ALL of that money was GONE! The reason: I lacked requisite understanding of how to handle money in relation to pursuing my business goals. Simply put, I lacked Financial Intelli-gence of the type described by Robert Kiyo-saki.

I made this mistake when I started, and many times afterwards. Old habits really do die hard - It was so hard getting this simple message to SINK into my "thick head" :-) despite the fact that I had read it! Someone once said “A person who does not know, and does not know that he does not know, is a big fool!” In my case I was a per-fect example of the fool and his money that are soon parted! I think my message has been well communication.

I leave you to ruminate on it, and decide how you wish to apply it to your personal situation. Insincerely hope reading this will help others AVOID making the same mistakes I did.

Having said that, I try to take sol-ace :-) in the words of R. Buckmin-ster Fuller who, according to Robert Kiyosaki, once said: "I know so much because I have made so many mistakes" - R. Buckminster Fuller To me, that statement re-assures anyone who DOES go ahead to make these or other mistakes, that it would NOT be the end of the world. S/he will STILL be able to succeed in spite of those wrong turns if s/he will only LEARN from them and PERSIST towards the goal. My "Mistakes" Had Little To Do With The Presence Or Absence Of A Business Plan One must LEARN to understand and deal with the realities extant in his/her own environment in order to stand any chance of succeeding. The way things work out here in my country, most business plans in truth tend to be limited in their usefulness, beyond being used to make a formal statement of intention. (The situation in your country may of course differ). Here are 3 instances that illustrate what I mean: a). There are issues relating to ethi-cal business practices - or more ac-curately, their widespread AB-SCENCE. I don't have to say more here - the front pages of national dailies do a better job - reporting cases of multi-national corporations complaining about this BIG problem. It's the real-ity - at least for now, though efforts at influencing change continue. You can gain some insight by reading my article titled "There Is Nothing Wrong With A Humble Beginning: Achieve YOUR Success With Hon

nour & Integrity". b). Then you have the prevailing economic climate/government policies etc(. E.g. Sud-den upward reviews of petrol/diesel prices coupled with poor availability of both items PLUS perpetually erratic power supply which makes necessary the use of genera-tors run with petrol/diesel (that's changing prices and NOT even readily available!) make using a business plan to reliably manage a business out here, in most cases a practical waste of time.

Of course, some people would disagree with what I have said, but the best way to judge in my opinion is to LOOK around at how businesses that manage to survive) - even the big ones - operate out here. It won't take long to SEE that there is major truth in what I have said. c). There is also the issue of how much of a market EXISTS for the product's) /service's) a business is offering. I throw more light on this in an article titled "Do You Need A Business Plan If Your Idea Is New, Untested, or Unproven?". Incidentally, I did have a business plan (for my Integrated Fish Farm) startup that I took weeks to painstakingly prepare, going out to re-search various aspects, and getting guide-lines from banks towards securing equity investment under the Small Medium Enter-prises Investment Scheme( SMEIS). My experiences over a two year period in this regard, convince me of the accuracy of the opinions I have expressed above. Visit http://www.selfhelpcd.spontaneousdevelopment.com to learn more about the business plan I wrote for my Integrated Fish Farm. Your Integrity Is The Best Collateral You Can Have – Nurture It! So if I “squandered” all my money that quickly, how did I survive? Well, I began by thinking – HARD! It did not take me long to realize I had no choice than to ask for HELP*. The question then was who to ask. My mind immediately went for the name's of persons I knew who would not doubt my motives for starting a business PLUS who knew me well enough to trust that I

would not request money under false pre-tences. Over a period of about nine months consequently, one particular person, a close friend, former colleague and confidant would bail me out to the tune of almost half of the total amount I had already spent - mostly at short notice. *Note: Some people let their egos get in the way at this point, feeling they would look "weak" if they had to "stoop" so low as to ask for help from others. I would say if you have any viable alternative to ASKING for help, then go for it and achieve your purpose. If not, PLEASE swal-low your pride and ASK - nicely too! - for HELP or forget your dreams!

Napoleon Hill said your magnificent obses-sion will at a point take you over and you be-come one and the same with it. At that point you will think, drink, sleep and eat that vision you are working to achieve – sparing little or no thought for anything else. THAT state of mind, according to him, is what will make people and things that will help you achieve your objective come together at the right time and in the right place. He adds that this is what the uninitiated see happening to REAL entrepreneurs and other great achiev-ers, which they call “luck”. More than five years on, I can look back and confirm that Hill's submission to a great ex-tent, especially going by my experiences, explains how I managed to survive perpetual scarcity of CASH - and other resources – that afflicted me prior to EACH breakthrough that took me to a higher level of success in my work. I have always emerged WISER and MORE competent. You will hopefully be able to draw some consolation from knowing this up front if/when you pass through a similar experience. But INTEGRITY was a key factor: Luck has been defined as “that which occurs when preparation meets opportunity”. Entrepre-neurs who benefit financially or otherwise from others, many times have paid their dues, and EARNED the trust, confidence, respect and empathy of those who extend such assistance to them.

Today, I have detailed, handwritten records of daily expenses I have made since April 2002 till date – one of the new things I learned to do at the time, in order to keep my spending “sensible” and track it against my budget. This was something I had read about so many times while in paid employment, but never really allowed to “sink home” into my consciousness because of the bad spending habits I had formed then.

Like I stated in another article titled "Practical Guiding Philosophies For Entre-preneurial Success", If you plan to( or have already) entered into entrepreneur from a similar background to mine, this is the first thing you have to watch out for – your spend-ing habits. With very few exceptions, most people who go into business after having being in paid employment - especially where the pay was relatively comfortable - often lack the “discipline" needed to preserve the “lifeblood” (i.e. cash) of their new busi-nesses.

Sourcing Capital For Your Business ("Priming" Yourself To Do It Right) Now, I am not here to claim that I am the world's expert on raising capital or anything of the sort. Rather, I want to share with you my perspective which I believe is probably one of the most realistic ways to look at the problem–if you want to successfully tackle it.

My position is that anything will be a problem for you if you believe it can be a problem for you. For as long as you think – or allow your-self to believe – that "seeming" lack of capital sources can stop you from succeeding in your business, then the chances of that hap-pening will be high.

1. Start by having the unshakeable belief that you can find the money you need to startup your business. You need to be con-vinced that you can if you are ever going to be able to do the next thing I will tell you. So, erase any doubts arising in your mind. Block your ears to the “advice” of ANY sage realist friends/relatives you have who may ask you “Where are you going to get someone to give you that kind of money?”. "Spare me the grim litany of the realist. Give me the unrealistic aspirations of the optimist any day!" - Gen. Collin Powell

At this point some persons who are the typical complaining type, who never want to sit down and THINK of how they can apply/adapt what they read to their own personal situations, will probably say “But Tayo, you had the advan-tage of someone who could give you such money when you needed it – I don't!”.

My answer to that is this: I have learnt that life dishes out challenges to us according to our circumstances and capabilities in order that we might grow to the next level of strength/achievement. It is left to each person to de-cide how s/he will respond, which will in turn be determined by the strength of his/her de-sire for success. Lack Of Capital Can Actually Be More Of A Blessing Than (If At All) A Curse So it was that even though I started off with what many would have considered reason-able capitalization for my business, I ended up within a few months looking as if I never had any capital in the first place! That was my own “portion” if you will.

But the result was that I had to think of other creative ways to carry on with my work. There was no point complaining. You will find that where you have one thing to your advantage, another person lacks that same thing.

So, as I said in my article titled "7 Deadly Myths That Can Stop You From Succeeding", you must learn to take what you are given, and use it to get that which you want.

Francis Bacon once reportedly said “A wise person makes more opportunities than he finds”. As has been revealed through studies of the lives and achievements of many successful entrepreneurs, the period of greatest learning, and fastest growth, are often those periods of LACK and WANT. It was when I found myself in that extremely excruciating condition of lack of money that I really began to learn the skills I needed to survive. I want to assure you here, that had I not experienced EACH of those periods of hardship, I am FULLY con-vinced that I would not have the level of clarity and depth of insight that I now do, and with which I have been able to subsequently pro-gress my work.

2. Next, decide within yourself that what-ever plans you come up with, you will NEVER allow yourself to be discouraged if it appears that they are not working the way you intended – and the capital you seek seems not to be forthcoming. Again, you have to convince yourself that it will be better to persist in implementing your capital sourcing plans or modifications of them) till you do get the capital than for you to give up.

3. Take a pen and paper and begin iden-tifying the various individuals, groups or organizations/institutions that can help you. Once you have a comprehensive listing you will then draw up a plan to ap-proach and present your proposal to them for possible funding by them. To do this effectively, you will of course have to research specific potential sources of funding, and this varies from one society to another - as I have found from trying to follow ideas for sourcing funding obtained from reading articles by persons in the US, out here in Nigeria! You know your society better and will be able to judge -reasonably - what kinds of funding ideas are likely to resonate best with people/organizations you are likely to approach. Let me add here that I believe there is NO one correct way of raising cash. In my case following the advice in James Cook's "Startup Entrepreneur" book that "if you have to borrow to keep going, do so…but turn your back on handouts"), I have sourced it at different stages of my entrepreneurial adventure by giving up percentage ownership of my start-up company.

Today more than five individuals (friends/relatives have combined ownership of over 45% of my little company). I feel good about this because looking at the profile gives me the motivation to WORK HARDER to deliver on the promises I made to those who chose to buy into my idea.

At other times I have also bartered my ser-vices in exchange for a badly needed re-source's). An example was when I lost ac-cess to a laptop computer I was using to implement a web design project for one client and an Excel VB project for another. In order to finish both projects, I negotiated with one of the clients, who ran a IT com-pany specialized in building and installa-tions of computers and telecoms utilities, to build me a new desktop computer sys-tem unit which I paid for by letting him pay me a sum LESS the charge for THAT ser-vice. As a result, I did not have to shell out cash from my own pocket. n reality, finding capital especially when the more obvious channels fail to turn up anything useful and that happens in my society quite a lot!) will often be about YOU being WILLING to think creatively. Read my article titled “Use Strategic Partner-ships To Start-Up Faster, And Joint Ven-ture Marketing To Make More Sales!” for more IDEAS about how teaming up with strategic partners can help you overcome a lack of adequate financing while taking your ideas from conception to market place FASTER and with greater chances of success using your partner's experi-ence, expertise and networks/contacts.

FINAL WORDS: Worse Than Lack Of Capital Is The Danger Posed By "Wolves In Sheep's Clothing" To survive in the real business world, any-where, you will need to develop your sixth sense - specifically the ability to "detect" any signs of INSINCERITY in people you relate with especially in business. This is one of the hard lessons I learnt. And in my opinion a lack of this kind of "Street Wis-dom" should give ANY startup MORE cause to worry than even a lack of valu-able capital. Why? Because it could make you LOSE all you have, capital inclusive, to crafty/dishonest business persons you may un-knowingly choose to work/relate with - and possibly depend on for guidance etc. I have seen certain cunning individuals readily take advantage of “green” inexperi-enced persons, that come to them looking

for guidance and support. They do this by exploiting the latter business naivety – and then letting them down, often deliberately, when it matters most. To put it simply, they USE and DUMP newbie entrepreneurs. In fact, I once read a startup guide e-book chapter on Business Networking produced by a company called "Virtual Technocrats" which described these "wolves in sheep's clothing" as "Pro" net workers - one of four main types of net workers. The "Pro" is one who is selfishly motivated and typically noto-rious for "sucking the life" out of "Newbie" net workers i.e. using and dumping inexperi-enced others.

Does not matter what part of the world you're in - they're everywhere. So, be careful who you go to for help! Networking is meant to be a mutually benefi-cial - symbiotic - relationship. Check those you do it with. If it looks like they only seem to take, and never give at all, or if you find you always get the distinct feeling you're be-ing shortchanged, I say TRUST YOUR IN-STINCTS and get out - FAST.

In relation to this last point, I'll leave you with these words of TRUE wisdom from Burt Dubin http://www.dubinspeak.com

"Demand integrity from all associates. Would you go sailing in a leaky boat? Would you drive on a tire that would not hold air? Then, steel yourself: In cold blood dump unworthy others." – Burt Dubin

How to Turn Your Words Into Wealth

When you discover how to effectively com-municate your message in your marketing materials, particularly on your website or in advertisements you may run, you can quite literally turn your words into wealth. Simply by choosing the right words to de-scribe your product or service can mean all the difference between a business that struggles and one that thrives.

Sound too simple to be true?

Consider this: a major publisher once had a real dud on its hands, a book that wasn't selling squat. So one savvy editor changed the title of the book and it became a national bestseller, nearly overnight. Not a single word inside the book was changed, just the title. How cool is that?

You can experience similar shifts in your business, simply by changing the way you communicate your message, the way you share your solutions with those prospects who need what you have to offer. You may have heard me talk about power words before; it's been a hot topic in previ-ous seminars I've held, but in case you haven't I'll give a brief overview on why these are important, and then I'll give a few examples to help you get a better idea of how to put these into place.

Writing your web copy and other marketing materials is about so much more than just throwing together words that sound good; your marketing copy really needs to first grab your prospects' attention, then get them excited about what your product or service has to offer, and finally get their wheels turning about how your solution will transform their business/life/relationship/etc. The right words will help your prospects really feel how great it will be to work with you and get the results they so badly want and need.

Need an example? Let's take the plain Jane phrase: "Learn how to train your dog" and spruce it up a bit with a few "power words" to make it: "Tap into 3 insider secrets that will crack the code of your dog's stubborn behavior and help you become the master of your domain!" See how much more powerful and in-triguing that is?

Here's another example: replace "Stop your dog from barking" with "Discover 5 proven ways to instantly stop your dog's incessant barking for good...so you can savor refreshing silence once more!"

Are you getting a feel for how much more pow-erful your statements can be when you learn to effectively communicate your solutions, your value and your brilliance? Keep this information in mind whether you're writing marketing copy or naming your prod-ucts, services, and programs. Don't forget the publisher whose book wasn't selling for crap, and he simply changed the name of it, nothing else, didn't change a single word inside the book, and it became a national bestseller. That's how important all of this is, and why you should be paying extra attention to how you're communicating your solutions.

It can be overwhelming to think about over-hauling all of your marketing materials, so it may help to start small by taking a look at one thing at a time. Maybe start by examining your home page copy or maybe the title of your lead generating free giveaway. Think about where a few simple tweaks can make your promotions more compelling. .

The Secret to Business Success for Entrepreneurs The Secret to Business Success for Entrepreneurs The Secret to Business Success for Entrepreneurs The Secret to Business Success for Entrepreneurs It All Starts With YOUIt All Starts With YOUIt All Starts With YOUIt All Starts With YOU

Success Starts with YOU therefore YOU Need to Work Harder On YOU Than Anything Else! Success in business means something different to each individual but there are several key factors that will aide anyone in their quest.

You can work on YOU by paying at-tention to and implementing the following: Spend Time on personal develop-ment. Read books, attend seminars and align your thoughts and actions with wealth and prosperity. Two books that I found to be very valu-able in this area are "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

Be excited and passionate about that you do. People are going to be more impressed by the height of your enthusiasm than they are by the depth of your knowledge. If you take the word passion and break it

down (and add a "t") you get "pass-it-on". If you are not passionate about your business, products and services then you're going to have a difficult time passing it on (or selling it) to anyone else.

Figure out and focus on WHY you're in business for yourself. When I first started my own network marketing business, I didn't start it to make mil-lions of dollars, achieve financial free-dom or because I was confident in my ability to successfully run my own home based business. I was just hop-ing to make enough extra money my first month to buy a new water heater for my tiny little house that I lived in with my son Eric. It took me a long time to realize that money is NOT a motivator for all people. Each of us has our own reasons why we are in the business we're in. For me, it was to better support my family, to have more time freedom and to realize my life's purpose, which is helping people de-velop self-esteem and confidence and achieve their true potential.

Enhance your image. Whether we want to admit it or not, our image, our ap-pearance and how we carry ourselves have a lot to do with making a positive first impression. Can you transform your image and begin exuding more confidence by simply investing in a new suit or professional outfit, getting a more stylish haircut and cleaning up your appearance? Then stop procrasti-nating and do it. Feeling more confi-dent in yourself and your image may prompt you to take more action toward your goals and dreams.

Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich is undoubtedly the most read success classic in history but I wonder how many people have gleaned the "secret" that Na-poleon Hill speaks about in the begin-ning of the book. As a matter of fact, he says that this secret is men-tioned at least one hundred times throughout the book.

My goal is to identify what the secret is by analyzing the story of Edwin C. Barnes and his quest to be-come a partner with Thomas Edison. This is what hap-pened... Early one morning I was inspired to read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I

have always been in-trigued by this suc-cess classic but dur-ing this period of time I decided to re-view it to see if I could discern the se-cret that Mr. Hill mentioned in the first part of the book.

I decided to read and dissect the story about Edward C. Barnes and his quest to become a busi-ness partner with Thomas Edison. Keep in mind this story only takes up about three pages in the book; however I ex-tracted twelve 3x5 note cards full of notes from these three pages. I hope you learn something from this article that you can immediately apply to your life to

become more suc-cessful. Edwin C. Barnes was a man who had de-veloped a desire to become the business partner of Thomas Edison. Mr. Hill does not provide any de-tail about who Bar-nes was and what he did prior to develop-ing this desire, but lets assume that he was just like you and me, however he lived during a different time period. Barnes was probably fasci-nated by the inven-tor and he knew that if he formed an asso-ciation with this great man that he would make the most of the opportu-nity.

The story starts by

Mr. Hill describing how Mr. Barnes pos-sessed a burning de-sire to work with Mr. Edison and not for Mr. Edison. We can discern something about Mr. Barnes from this note be-cause during that era most people where happy to find a job - he was not looking for a job he was looking for an oppor-tunity - this clearly identifies Mr. Barnes as an entrepreneur - a risk taker - a per-son who is not afraid to think big.

Another key point is Barnes knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish. He was not hemming and hawing or displaying other symptoms of indecisiveness. He was not confused and he did not dis-play mixed motives. His desire was to become a business partner with Thomas Edison - pe-riod!

He had a definite goal.

Let's dig a bit deeper. An idea manifested into Mr. Barnes' life and he had no resources to

act upon it. Does this sound familiar? How many times have you had an idea only to back away from it because you didn't have a clue about how to accom-plish it so you de-cided not to do any-thing? Remember, no decision IS a de-cision. What made Mr. Bar-nes different? Let's see, he didn't know Mr. Edison personally and we have no way of knowing if he knew someone who knew Edison to facili-tate a warm intro-duction. So, let's as-sume that he did not know anyone who knew Edison either. Also, He did not have enough money to pay for train fare to Orange, New Jersey where Edison had lo-cated his facilities.

What would you have done? Most of us would have probably given up and went about life as usual. We would have determined that the dream was unrealistic. Or we would have said that it was not the right

time.

What did Mr Barnes do? We don't know exactly how he ob-tained the funding but we do know that he ended up in Or-ange, New Jersey. What happened next?

In his book, The Suc-cess Principles, Jack Canfield describes what happens after you get an idea, goal, or inspiration - he calls it considera-tions, fears, and roadblocks. You can bet that Mr. Barnes experienced one of the above after he conceived this idea and realized that he was missing key resources like train fare and a rela-tionship with the in-ventor.

Since Mr. Hill did not identify how Barnes raised money for the train fare, let's as-sume that he stepped out on faith, obtained the money and made the trip to New Jersey. The main point is that Mr. Barnes took ac-tion and assumed that he could handle any obstacle or diffi-culty that would oc-

cur on the way to his destiny.

What can we learn from Mr. Barnes? o Start your quest for success with a burning desire o Become an oppor-tunity seeker - never be afraid to think big o Sometimes you have to take action based upon faith o Develop strategies to combat considera-tions, fears and roadblocks before they show up o Assess your re-sources before you start a project - at least you know what you don't know and you know what you don't have

The declaration of purpose

Mr. Barnes arranged to meet with Mr. Edi-son where he pro-ceeded to make an unsolicited proposal related to going into business with him. Barnes had a definite chief aim, he came to the point quickly and he was ex-tremely clear.

Mr. Barnes teaches us to be clear about what we want and not to be afraid to go

directly to the person who can help us with our goals and make a request - without fear or trepidation. What allowed Mr. Barnes to show up unannounced and propose partnership to a man who has the stature of a mod-ern day Bill Gates or Donald Trump? Tho-mas Edison at the time was a larger than life figure who was honored and re-spected around world for his inventions.

Mr. Barnes was so determined to be-come a partner with the great Edison that he possessed the "No matter what..." atti-tude that nothing was going to stand in the way of him ac-complishing his goal. Mr. Hill noted that Edison sensed Mr. Barnes' determi-nation, drive and ini-tiative just by look-ing at the intensity in his eyes. This is in-structive for us today as well because it displays that we must be so filled with desire for our goals that it emits from our bodies to be seen by anyone we

come into contact with. The bottom-line is that Barnes desired a business relationship with Edi-son and he would not be denied by anyone or anything.

Cut-off any chance of turning back

Mr. Barnes gave himself no way out - partnership or bust. Have you accom-plished every goal that you have set for yourself? I bet if you think about it, you would discover that the reason you did not accomplish par-

ticular goal was probably because you gave yourself a way out, which means you held yourself back from releasing the full force of your en-ergy and focus on ac-complishing your

dog tenacity and re-lentless persistence gone for people to-day? Why do we give up so easily when the road gets a bit rocky? Why do we throw in the towel when our lips get a bit bloody in the box-ing ring of life? Where is the en-durance to go one more round?

I know one thing - Mr. Barnes' thoughts won the business partnership with Mr. Edison even before he arrived in front of the brilliant inventor and businessman to ask - asking was just a formality. Patience in the valleys of life

Are you surprised to learn that after Bar-nes showed up and made the offer, Mr. Edison actually made a counteroffer? His counter-offer was not the glorious part-nership that Barnes wanted, but - Edison did offer Barnes a job. Barnes traveled all the way to New Jer-sey only to be of-fered a job - the one thing that he did not want and that he definitely didn't go

goal. Have you given yourself a way out of your current goals? The way out is usu-ally disguised as a good excuse, a per-fectly legitimate rea-son, a handicap, a situation or a circum-stance.

His success was en-sured even before he left. I was struck by one key insight. The insight is that before Mr. Barnes departed for New Jersey, he had already succeeded at his de-sire of becoming a partner with Mr. Edi-son. How, you may ask? He succeeded because he had al-ready made up his mind that he was go-ing to work for Edi-son - it was a final decision and all of his thoughts were lined up to support that decision. His thoughts were estab-lished and the only remaining issue was to make reality match his thoughts - don't miss that last statement. If you do, you miss, what I be-lieve is the secret that Mr. Hill is talking about.

Where has this bull-

there to get. What would you do? Would you settle, take the job, and live happily ever after? I can hear you saying, "Well at least it is a steady job..."

Although Barnes did not get the partner-ship to start out with he stayed focused on his overall desire. I am sure you have heard the saying, "you can lose a few battles but make sure you win the war." Well, Barnes lost the first battle but his mind was fo-cused on the war and he was con-vinced that he pos-sessed the strategy and the will to be-come the victorious commanding general in this battle to be-come a partner with Mr. Edison - he ac-cepted the job while he regrouped his forces for the next major battle.

Mr. Barnes' persis-tence kept him work-ing for Edison over many, many months which was not his goal. Can you imag-ine the frustration that he must have

won - you have won - now, make reality match your thoughts o When things don't go as planned, stay focused, be patient and watch for your opportunity

Staying focused

Mr. Barnes remained fixed on the idea of a partnership with Mr. Edison which caused him to "remain ready" for the oppor-tunity when it pre-sented itself - be-cause he knew that the opportunity would always present itself because he used the powerful Law of Attraction.

How did Mr. Barnes keep himself moti-vated? Can you imagine the frustrat-ing and stifling feel-ings that he experi-enced? He used posi-tive self-talk and he continued to reaffirm his desire for a busi-ness partnership with Mr. Edison.

Mr. Barnes staked his life on his desire and he exhibited what I like to call a "no-fail" attitude - which means that failure was not an

felt to sit there eve-ryday and realize that he had not ful-filled his desire - he was so close but yet so far. I think most people would have called it quits and left after a few months - except Mr. Barnes was not most people.

Mr. Barnes response was to intensify his desire for his major definite purpose. He turned up the heat on his desire - he wanted his goal even more.

What can What can we learn from Mr. Barnes? o Communicate clearly and succinctly - ask for what you want o Find out who can help you with your goals and go ask them for help o Audacity is a re-quired trait for every entrepreneur o Develop the "No matter what" atti-tude o Burn your ships to remove the chance of giving yourself a way out o Your thoughts de-termine your results - If you think you've

option - he would not allow the circum-stance of failure to occur - he was un-stoppable in his pursuit of his dream. Do you know anyone who is THAT defi-nite? What do I mean? Do you know anyone who has identified their major definite purpose and who has stood on that purpose until it became an obses-sion?

Determination and persistence in pursu-ing a desire leads to greater opportuni-ties. Barnes was so determined and per-sistent that he would have stayed as long as it took to capture his dream, however - something hap-pened... The oppor-tunity appears...

During his daily work, Mr. Barnes was always on the look-out for ways to be of service and to spot potential oppor-tunities. He must have been very ob-servant of his sur-roundings because his big break came in an unrecognizable way and from a dif-

portunities all around him. He clearly rec-ognized that this was an opportunity to ful-fill his desire of be-coming Edison's partner by taking the new invention and selling it to the best of his ability.

Mr. Barnes saw op-portunity where oth-ers saw obstacles and fears because he was truly interested in Edison's work, which ultimately lead to his goal of becom-ing a partner with Edison while every-one else continued to sit back and complain about how they "couldn't" sell the dictating ma-chines - basically giving a lot of ex-cuses.

Mr. Barnes displayed outstanding confi-dence in his own abilities by suggest-ing to Edison that he would sell the ma-chine. And sold it he did. Barnes lived up to his claim by sell-ing the machine so successfully that Edi-son gave him a contract to dis-tribute the machine nationally. Talk about exploiting an

ferent direction than where he was ex-pecting it. His level of attraction was so strong that he at-tracted his desire not in the way he wanted it but in the way that God wanted to bless him.

Mr. Hill states that opportunity often comes disguised as misfortune or tempo-rary defeat. I am sure that Mr. Barnes may have experi-enced frustration and discouragement be-cause things were not moving fast enough for him. I am sure that most of us would have failed to recognize the oppor-tunity because it was not presented in a neatly wrapped package labeled "your opportunity of a lifetime."

Mr. Edison created a dictating machine that his salesmen were not enthusiastic about selling. They didn't think that it would sale without a lot of effort. Mr. Bar-nes immediately rec-ognized an opportu-nity. Why? His mind was oriented to spot op-

opportunity! He hit this opportunity out of the proverbial park. He hit a home-run. He became a business partner with the great Thomas Edison - goal achieved and desire fulfilled.

What can we learn from Mr. Barnes?

Mr. Barnes teaches us that thoughts are things and that our thoughts can make us rich. For example, Barnes earned two or three million dollars based upon one idea. Clearly, Barnes be-came a very wealthy man, but his greatest asset was not the money he earned, but the fact that he learned how to take his thoughts and transmute them into material rewards by the application of certain principles. Remember, the only assets he started with were his desire, his knowledge of what he wanted, and his determination to stick with it no mat-ter how long it would take to realize.

So what is the secret of Think and Grow Rich?

this insight is to examine how you think and the results you are getting right now.

If your results are not what you want them to be - exam-ine what you have been thinking about on a daily basis and you will see that your results match your thoughts - ex-actly. If you want to change your results, change what you think about on a daily basis. Your outer "physical" world will match your inner "mental" world - perfectly. If you have not aligned your thinking then you will have the ex-perience of incongru-ence - nothing will match.

The best way to find out if your thoughts are aligned with real-ity is to look at what you are currently ex-periencing.

For example, if you want to experience success in your job, you first have to identify what success means to you. Does success mean pro-motions, more money, or more re-

The secret was re-vealed to us by Mr. Earl Nightingale, one of the pioneers of the self-improvement in-dustry and co-founder of Nightin-gale-Conant, in one of his audio re-cordings. One night he jumped up be-cause in an instant he was given the insight about what this se-cret was - he ran to his wife and said, "I've got it!" Obvi-ously, she was probably thinking - what does he have that is causing so much excitement? Earl proceeded to tell her that the secret that he had been try-ing to find for all of these years is that you become what you think about most of the time! Your thoughts control who and what you be-come.

I know this is not an earth shattering in-sight, but this secret has puzzled me for years until I really started to pay atten-tion to what Mr. Hill and other writers have been saying and writing. The key to really "getting"

sponsibility?

The next step is to look at what is actu-ally happening in your current environ-ment. Are you hav-ing the experience of promotions, more money, or more re-sponsibility? If the answer is "no," your thoughts are not in alignment with your desires. You are probably thinking, "Well, how can I align my thoughts with my desires?" Let me direct you back to Think and Grow Rich, Chapter 2: Desire - The Starting of All Achievement.

Expanding the VisionExpanding the VisionExpanding the VisionExpanding the Vision

The organization, which you lead, once the vision is developed, communicated and ac-cepted it is time to live the vision. Live the vi-sion? Live the vision, yes if the vision is real, it cannot be left in a small box and stored somewhere for reference and only brought out when you are in front of the organization. In ministry whether we like it or not, the reality is we are watched and the expectation is high from the ministry members, from those in the church outside the ministry and from those friends outside the church. Living what we have laid down, as the ministry vision will be critically important.

Maybe you want to go back and revisit the vi-sion statement. If so, go ahead.

For iron to sharpen iron, in your ministry you will be expected to be the lead sharpener. The vision sets the tone for everything you will do and everything you expect. Too many times the vision is announced and never revisited. The vision will need to be communicated over and over verbally and through your actions and the actions of the ministry.

If your vision, for example is to Love God, love our families, love each other and love the community. This is intentionally touching all areas and driving the ministry to be outward facing. Each part of the vision needs to be lived all the time. Loving God through private action, of prayer, worship and Bible study and public action of active church attendance, ac-tive support of the Pastor and being seen as the one who demonstrates love for others. Then loving family through true devotion to the family, loving your wife like Christ loved the church that He died for her, big order but one I must strive to live up to. Love your children bring them up in a Godly way, don't frustrate your children. Live as a consistent example for them. Love the members of the ministry by lifting them up supporting them, listening and building Godly Friendships. There are a lot of hurting people in the ministry with you.

Community, the value of the work will be seen in the impact on the commu-nity. Do things to take care of peo-ple's physical needs, putting them in a position to listen to your Gospel Message. Jesus said they would know Me by the love you have for one and other.

The vision should be communicated over and over verbally and through the actions of the leadership and the actions of the men in ministry The actions, as always, speak louder than the words. The words are im-portant as you act out the vision, point back to the vision statement by remembering to the members, that vision statement and how what you are doing is acting in reference to and supportive of that vision state-ment. Through actions that are always con-sistent with your vision you will see that the results are iron sharpens iron in your life, in your family, in the ministry and in the community.

Erotiese Erotiese Erotiese Erotiese Kapitaal Kapitaal Kapitaal Kapitaal

Jy staan oorkant in die ver-trek en hou die mense en deur dop. Die volgende oomblik sien jy haar daar staan en 'n stilte daal oor die vertrek. Almal kyk na haar as sy ingestap kom en jy won-der wat het die vrou wat haar onderskei van ander. Sy is nie eers werklik beeldskoon volgens die standaarde wat daar gestel word.

Steve Hofmeyr en Angelina Jolie het dit. Michelle Botes ook en jy wéét die vrou in die kantoor langs joune straal dit uit. Wat hulle deel, is daardie onmiskenbare “iets” wat mense laat áánhou kyk; ’n onpeilbare X-faktor wat de-esdae as erotiese kapitaal (EK) bekend staan.

In Lang bene en lipstiek, die joernalis Riette Rust se boek oor dié onderwerp, word EK beskryf as seksualiteit ineengevleg met selfver-troue, sprankel en lewenslus.

Dié uitdrukking is geskep deur dr. Catherine Hakim, ’n sosioloog aan die London School of Economics. Sy sê EK het ses kenmerke: skoon-heid (jy hoef nie beeldskoon te wees nie, net mooi ver-sorg); seksuele aantrek-kingskrag; sosiale vaar-dighede; lewenslus; ’n goeie selfbeeld en seksualiteit.

Maar is dié kenmerke be-kombaar as jy jouself as doodgewoon beskou?

Já, sê Rust, wat in haar boek sê waarom EK belangrik is, hoe jy jou seksualiteit kan gebruik om sukses te behaal in jou loopbaan en ver-houdings én hoe jy die ken-merke van EK kan ontwikkel.

Trek X-faktor-rente EK kan veral in die werkplek rente trek, meen Rust en hoewel feministe mag dink dis ’n doodsonde om jou lang bene en lipstiffie in te span om jou loopbaan te bevorder, wys navorsing dit wérk.

“As jy erotiese kapitaal het, verbeter jou loopbaanvooruit-sigte drasties. Jy kan ook tot 15% meer ’n jaar verdien,” skryf Rust.

Sy voer aan dat dit jou kanse op ’n suksesvolle loopbaan aansienlik kan verbeter as jy jou EK reg aanwend (sien kassie hiernaas). Jy sal mak-liker aangestel word en dis meer waarskynlik dat jy bevorder sal word.

Kenners waarsku egter dat te veel erotiese kapitaal in die werkplek nie altyd die ge-wenste effek mag hê nie en op die duur skade kan aanrig as dit verkeerd aangewend word.

“Dit help nie ’n mens fokus net op die uiterlike nie. Dit gaan oor veel meer en dit moet volhoubaar wees,” sê prof. Elna McIntosh, ’n sek-

suoloog van Johannesburg.

McIntosh waarsku nie alle werkgewers en kollegas sal eners reageer op jou sjarme nie X wat vir een aantreklik is, is dalk vir ’n ander afstoot-lik. Wanneer jou kollegas jaloers raak op die manier waarop jy jou EK aanwend, kan dinge ongemaklik raak op kantoor.

“Vroue moet altyd versigtig wees, want as hulle oorvriendelik lyk, word ge-suggereer dat hulle net die werk gekry het omdat hulle ’n mooi gesiggie het,” sê sy.

Moet ook nie in die proses eienskappe soos intelligensie en hardwerkendheid afskeep nie, sê me. Arlynn Revell, ’n Johannesburgse seksuoloog.

Die perfekte kombinasie Rust meen ons moet aan-vaar dat ons in ’n visuele wêreld leef, al sou ons graag volgens ons kennis, intelli-gensie en blink planne beoordeel wou word.

“Ja, al dié eienskappe tel, maar die kombinasie van sosiale én fisieke aantreklik-heid sal jou bo uitbring,” re-ken sy.

Me. Kiets Vlok, ’n korpo-ratiewe finansieringskonsul-tant wat al 13 jaar in dié bedryf werk, stem saam dat ’n kombinasie van faktore ’n mens kan help om sukses te

behaal.

“Dit sal jou wel bevoordeel wat aanstellings en onder-houde betref, maar as jy nie die werkvermoë het nie, sal dit jou op die duur niks help nie,” sê sy.

Rust beklemtoon die belan-grikheid van egtheid en waarsku teen die gebruik van EK vir opsetlike, doelbe-wuste uitbuiting, of manip-ulering-middel.

Vlok is dit eens en glo deur ’n onbewustelike, subtiele ge-bruik van vroulike intuïsie en instink kan jy “slim speel” om bo uit te kom.

“Vroue weet hoe om met mans te werk en kan dus met meer wegkom as hulle hul vroulikheid reg aanwend,” sê sy.

“Vroue moet hul erotiese kapitaal verstaan, reg ge-bruik en weet wanneer om dit op te hou gebruik,” meen Sharon Gordon, eienaar van die sensualiteit boetiek Lola Montez.

Jy kan ook ‘ryk’ word Dis moontlik om erotiese kapitaal te bekom as jy dit nie het nie, sê Rust.

“Jy hoef nie mooi, ryk, maer, jonk of slim te wees om dit te bekom nie. Jy moet wel sosiaal-intelligent wees,” sê sy. Hier is haar raad:

• Beskou jouself as ’n handelsmerk. Wat wil jy hê ander moet van jou sê wanneer jy ’n vertrek verlaat?

• Verander die gesprek in jou kop. As jy jouself instel op ’n doelwit, sál jy dit bereik. Dit is hoe die wet van

• aantrekkingskrag werk, het kwantumfisika bewys. “Deur mý kop reg in te stel, het ek ’n sportmotor met ’n joernalis se vryskut salaris gekoop en met gr. 8-wiskunde ’n prys vir finansiële joernalistiek gewen.”

• Stel opreg in ander belang.

• Kom in voeling met jou innerlike sekskat. Jy kan kook, óf jy kan kook soos die Britse sjef Nigella Law-son, wat versiersuiker stadig en sensueel van haar vingers aflek.

• Kyk na hoe ander optree wat die X-faktor het.

• Vra ’n eerlike persoon om die persoonlikheid-seienskappe te identifiseer waaraan jy kan werk.

• Onthou om pret te hê.

Smith who married an oil-mogul 62-years her senior. Others hope to win the lottery like Amanda Clayton, the woman in Michigan who continued to collect food stamps even though she won a million dollars in the lot-tery

These news stories can make you think it ’s possible to get rich with a little luck, but don’t ignore the truth behind these fairytales . After all , Anna Nicole Smith’s life did not have a happy ending, Eddie Mur-phy’s wife lost all her money, and people were so angry at Amanda Clayton for continuing to receive food stamps that she received a lot of negative buzz online and Michi-gan authorities took away her food stamp privileges. Plus, Amanda used her winnings to im-mediately buy a new car and a new home to live in - liabilities that will take cash out of her pocket .

Relying on others is not the way to become financially-free. And it ’s cer-tainly not what the founders of International Women’s Day had in mind when they created the holiday we celebrated last week.

Come on, ladies Come on, ladies Come on, ladies Come on, ladies ––––It’s Rising Time!It’s Rising Time!It’s Rising Time!It’s Rising Time! Are you hoping that Prince Charming or that winning lottery ticket will show up some day? Even worse, are you ignoring your financial situation and your future?

Wake up Sleeping Beauty!

Remember, “luck” and “hope” are four-letter words . It’s time to stop hop-ing and start doing… so instead of thinking of a four-leaf clover this week, think of a triangle - the Triple -A Triangle™ of Aspire, Acquire and Apply.

Educational Poverty for Women is a Worldwide RealityEducational Poverty for Women is a Worldwide RealityEducational Poverty for Women is a Worldwide RealityEducational Poverty for Women is a Worldwide Reality

In previous posts , I’ve talked about poverty rates among women over the age of 65 and the grim reality for those who don’t start taking their financial education seriously . And while financial pov-erty is a significant threat to most women in the United States, educa-tional poverty is an overwhelming nightmare for women worldwide .

Are you taking your access to finan-Are you taking your access to finan-Are you taking your access to finan-Are you taking your access to finan-cial education for granted?cial education for granted?cial education for granted?cial education for granted? If you are reading this, you can get the information you need to change your lives and pursue financial free-dom with the click of a mouse. You are lucky. But many women throughout the world are illiterate with no access to any kind of educa-tion or future of financial freedom.

In fact , The United Nations Educa-tional, Scientific and Cultural Organi-zation (UNESCO) estimates that the majority of the 67 million children out of school who live in rural areas are girls and “the least likely of any social group to be in school or to ever gain access to education.” In addition, UNESCO states that

“improving education for women and girls in rural areas is a central issue both for achieving gender equality and for poverty eradication.”

Without information, women cannot get the education they need to change their lives for the better. And the media is not helping. After looking at data promoted on International Women’s Day this past month, I no-ticed that getting necessary informa-tion to women, specifically through the media, is not happening as fast as it could.

Specifically, UNESCO’s Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) maps the representation of women and men in news media worldwide in five- year increments . And the latest 2010 find-ings are disturbing. Here are a few:

“Only 24% of the people questioned, heard, seen, or read about in the written and audiovisual media are women;76% are men.

Only 10% of stories quote or refer to relevant local , national, regional, or international legal instruments on

Resources.aspx

And what about the women in rural And what about the women in rural And what about the women in rural And what about the women in rural areas worldwide?areas worldwide?areas worldwide?areas worldwide?

Most women who really need an edu-cation do not have access to it online… so what can you do? Here’s one idea. After you read your copy of It’s Rising Time!, Rich Woman or any book related to financial edu-cation, send it to an organization like the International Book Project at www.intlbookproject.org/inv- donbks .php. You can donate books to them in excellent condition, and they’ll send them to schools, libraries, churches , and more in the developing world and the United States.

gender equality and human rights.

18% of female news subjects are por-trayed as victims in comparison to 8% of male subjects.

Women’s under representation in the news media was found in 44% of the na-tions included in the study .”

Half of the world’s population is female so media members are not representing the reality.

Even worse, journalists are missing the opportunity to build awareness about human and women’s rights, gender equality, and more. The educational pov-erty of women worldwide remains at the status quo.

If the media is not talking about women in a timely manner , we need to find ways to distribute the information our-selves. And with the Internet, it costs nothing and only takes a few seconds .

For example, you can give a friend the information they need to start changing their financial future just by sharing one of these links :

Ministry of God's Word

Allow me to take you on an unforgetta-ble journey, as your tour guide, through the Word of God, to look at three different ways how God’ s Word was spoken, from Old Testament prophets, Jesus Himself, and the New Testament church. This jour-ney will take you from one revelation to another, and it will bring you to new heights in your ministry. It will open new dimensions in the Spirit for you and thus help you to preach with tremendous power on your words from here on .

Let ’s take a look at three kinds of min-istry’ s;

1)The Old Testament ministers of the Word; The prophets

2)The minister of the Word in the gos-pels; The Lord Jesus

3)The ministry of the Word in the New Testament; The Apostles

‘’Acts 6,4 – ‘’But we will devote our-selves…to the ministry of the Word. The matter of serving people with God’s Word is called the ministry of the Word; the person who so serves is called a minister. ‘’Ministry’’ points to the matter, while ‘’minister’’ speaks of the person. The ministry of the Word occupies an important place in the work of God. There are definite principles to be learned by those who preach the Word of God and serve people with God’ s Word.

From the Old Testament time to the New, God always is found speaking. He spoke in the Old Testament days;

He spoke while the Lord Jesus was on earth; and He continues to speak in the New Testament church. We learn from the Bible that God has a prime work to perform on this earth, which is, to utter His own Word. If the Word of God is taken away, then al-most nothing is left of God’ s work. No word, no work. We must therefore recognize the place of God’s Word in His work. Once the Word is removed the work of God ceases immediately, for God operates through His Word; He treats His Word as His work.

The work of God is filled with His Word. Gen 1, John 1.

How does God utter His Word? This

Isaiah, and Jeremiah whom God employed as mouthpieces in a way which was more advanced than that of Balaam and other prophets . The words which Moses wrote were mainly what God had commanded him. As the Lord spoke, so spoke Moses . Isaiah recorded vision after vision which the Lord had shown him. In this respect these prophets functioned under the same princi-ple as Balaam. But in another respect Moses and Isaiah were quite different from Balaam. For we know that whenever Ba-laam himself came forward, his personal feeling was so wrong that he was con-demned before God. While under revela-tion, Balaam spoke the Word of God; but as soon as he spoke by himself, he mani-fested sin , error and darkness.

This was not true of Moses . Though he largely spoke according to what God com-manded, yet there were times before God when he spoke as he felt . During these oc-casions he was not looked upon as doing anything wrong; instead, his word was rec-ognized as also being God’s Word. This shows that Moses was more used of God than was Balaam. The same is true of Isaiah. Most of his prophecies came directly from the visions he received from God, but sometimes he himself began to speak. David and Jeremiah expressed their own feelings before God even more than Moses and Isaiah. All of these prophets ap-proached the way of the later New Testa-ment ministers; even so, they acted mostly under the same principles as the rest of the Old Testament prophets . They spoke when the Word of God came to them. Written by : Written by : Written by : Written by : Japie StoffbergJapie StoffbergJapie StoffbergJapie Stoffberg

is a very special and quite remarkable method: God’s Word is spoken through the mouth of a man. Not only is there the Word in the Bible; there is also the minister of the Word. Were God to speak directly by Himself, He would have no need of the minister of the Word. Since His Word is delivered by man, the minister of the Word becomes a real concern, because if he walks in the flesh , he will also talk in the flesh . How very significant is man, therefore, in the work of God. God employs no way other than man to deliver His Word. God is in need of a special class of people to be the ministers of His Word, a people that lives a crucified live before Him, not my will be done but Your will be done.

So briefly stated, one can find through-out the whole Bible three different kinds of people whom God uses to preach the Word. In the Old Testament God’ s Word is spread by the prophets; hence we have the ministry of the prophets . Once again, at the time of the earthly pilgrimage of the Lord Jesus, God’s Word became flesh; and thus we have the ministry of the Lord Jesus. And fi-nally , in the New Testament God’s Word is propagated by the apostles ; with the result that we have the ministry of the apostles .

In other words, God merely employed the man’ s mouth to utter His word. This is typical of the Old Testament ministers of the Word. The Holy Spirit gave the word to a particular individual and so controlled that person that there could be no error in God’ s Word as propagated by Him. Though God used the person, there was little, if any human element involved in this type of revelation. Man merely spoke the Word of God without adding any-thing to it.

Nevertheless, in the Old Testament we do find people such as Moses, David,

Believe in yourself and in your dreams

We are going to have a look at Josef and his dreams. The story of Joseph is found in Genesis 37.

Joseph is the second youngest son in the household of Jacob. They are twelve brothers and a sister. Joseph is the favorite son of Jacob and Jacob made him a special garment. At the age of seventeen, Joseph had a good impression of himself.

Now Joseph had a dream and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him still more.

6And he said to them, Listen now and hear, I pray you, this dream that I have dreamed:

7We [brothers] were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood up-

right, and behold, your sheaves stood round about my sheaf and bowed down!

8His brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? Or are you going to have us as your subjects and dominate us? And they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he

said.

9But Joseph dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers [also]. He said, See here, I have dreamed again, and behold, [this time not only] eleven stars [but also] the sun and the

moon bowed down and did reverence to me!

10And he told it to his father [as well as] his brethren. But his father rebuked him and said to him, What is the meaning of this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and

your brothers actually come to bow down ourselves to the earth and do homage to you?

11Joseph's brothers envied him and were jealous of him, but his father observed the saying

and pondered over it.

From the above verses can be seen clearly Joseph was not popular among his brothers. Not even his dreams were acceptable.

Your dreams that you have are many times not acceptable to people. Family members and friends will stand in your way and try to prevent it manifestation.

Joseph's dreams came from God and nothing could stop them to manifest. When you know deep in your hart that the dreams come from God and this is the plan for your life, nothing can stop it to realize. Written by : Christine Meintjes
