The Bible says: “Do you see a man diligent in his business? He shall
stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean (lowly) men.”
Proverbs 22:29
The Bible promise is that if one is diligent to do his work, one
will have: “goats’ milk enough for your food, for the food of your
household, and for the maintenance for your maidens.” Which means there
will be money and food for your family and servants. Your business will
meet all your material needs. But this provision is conditional, and it
hinges on whether you do your part properly.
Obviously, from this it is easy to see that running a business is not a
matter of opening a shop, putting some things into it, and hoping people
come and buy. It is an intelligent activity, which involves a lot of
planning. It takes foresight, wise decisions and consideration of many
factors.
Your business may be very simple, in which case you will not need to put
much supervision in, but more complicated businesses need more effort.
Check the stock, the sales, the overheads, the staff, wages, insurance
and so on. Keep a tally of everything week by week. Do some counting and
jot down totals. See if changes can improve performance. Try new things
and note the results.
