Caught Up In Profit

I recently had a Subscriber ask me:

How do you keep from getting caught up in profit? I want my focus to be on serving others, yet I also need to yield a profit. Because the profits are very little, I tend to focus on how to increase them too much. Thank you!

You’re in business to make a profit therefore, focusing on how to increase them is viable to the success of your business. 

I believe that most people think if they focus too much on making money, it’s evil or wrong thinking.  That couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

Business is: “An organization operated with the objective of making a profit from the sale of goods or services.”

I suggest that you create a written plan, see the article here from Entrepreneur.com.  Here’s an excerpt from that article:

There are three primary parts to a business plan:

  • The first is the business concept, where you discuss the industry, your business structure, your particular product or service, and how you plan to make your business a success.

As long as you’re doing business with the right intent, taking care of the things you know are important and seeking God for His perfect will you’re definitely on the right road :)

Read the article and come back here if you would like to continue this discussion.

To your success!
