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. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year. God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer.

Are you throwing away your choices? You do have to go through change whether you like it or not, but you have a choice as to how you're going to respond.
If you listen to a word I'm saying today here on post please listen to this:
You. Are. Not. Powerless.
Okay, that was four words.
But they were powerful words.
There are three reasons I believe change is harder for some people:
1) They are afraid of what people might think.
2) They are afraid of what people might say.
3) They are afraid of what people might do.
So they just let change relentlessly beat them up, with no counter-response to the change that has been thrust upon them.
So, are you ready to move through change and do more than just survive? Then you're going to have to stop being paralyzed by those three things and take whatever counter-steps you need to make for your emotional health. You've got to manage your health in the midst of whatever change you're going through. No one else can do this for you.
When change comes, you always have choices. Here's the hard truth, my friend...sometimes your answer is just a hard but healthy counter-choice, waiting to be made.
You are not powerless but exercising your power does entail overcoming the three fears.
I believe in you. You can do this.
