Since last week you began to write a vision for your life, this week you're ready for part 2 of the Focus on the Foundation process which involves surveying your surroundings.
If you are going to maximize your potential you are going to have to be willing to take a moment to assess what you're working with. I recently read an article by Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church. The objective of...
Focus on the Foundation (Part 1)
Now is the time to build the foundation of the life that you desire. Don’t delay, start building today! Many times what stops us from stepping forward is the question, “Where do I start?” This is a valid question because you have to have a blue print BEFORE you begin to build so that you won’t waste valuable time and resources.
As you begin to draw your blueprints for your professional &...
It's Still There...
Remember when you were young and you knew that you would be in trouble when your parents got home? Perhaps you did something you shouldn't have at school.
