Motivation......

Its amazing how difficult it can be running a business, especially when things don't go quite to plan. As a record label, we have often struggled to finance te projects we run and especially for me, believing that this is something that I have been called to do as part of my reason for being here on this Earth, it can really de-motivate me when things do not go as well as I hope.

Business often feels like......



I decided to visit a church that meets just down the road from me today, I have been feeling like I needed some time where I could just fade in, where people did not know me but I could focus and hopefully get some vision and direction.

Well all I can say is that the guy preaching had me in mind when he prepared. The talk reminded me of why I started up the business in the first place, the things that I had felt God say to me and that actually, God made me to be in this place. Knowing that means I know I am the best equipped to do this job at this time and that I am supposed to be doing this, even when the times get difficult.

Sometimes it feels like........




The best thing is that the things he said made me realise that actually, I have the answers as well. Just because sometimes I can't see a way forward doesn't mean that there isn't one, of fact, a lot of it is outlined for me, I just need to study the principles that the bible lays out and other things will fall into place. I have felt hurt recently, hurt that God did not seem to care, that decisions I had made had been the wrong ones and hurt because oter people had wronged me. I had forgotten one of the main things I used to say to people, /its not what happens to you in life that defines you, its the way you handle it.

Another thing that has really helped me to get things in perspective was a blog a friend of mine wrote about being intentional in your life, Check it out here, he is spot on with what he says and again, it has been inspirational for me, Thanks Finch!!!

I was reminded of this today and yes, sometimes the shit hits the fan, yes, sometimes things don't go to plan and it can be hard but over all, its the way I handle this that will see me be a success or a failure. Heres to an amazing few months, building the business, building my life and seeing others motivated through the things that happen to me.
