The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain.

Mentees have much more affect on how much is received than their mentor does.
In the parable of the sower, the same sower sowed the same seed on the

It’s interesting to me that in times past I’ve had people
leave a church service telling me that they don’t feel the spirit of God, they feel
dry, God’s not doing anything and they feel led to seek another church. After
the same exact service somebody else will come up to me full of life or bawling
their eyes out, moved by the spirit -- telling me that the presence of God was all over the place…they
received a Word from God like never before, etc. What’s the difference? Same
church, same service, same pastor, same message. Different person!!!
Likewise, what you sow in a mentorship relationship, you will reap.
