Do you maintain your business focus each day, or do you drift into tasks that are fun but not essent

Scripture: He who tills his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty (Proverbs 28:19).

Today’s Thought: Managing a business is a lot like farming. There isn’t much that the farmer or the manager can do to directly produce results; instead, their most important responsibility is to create the proper conditions for maximum results. It’s the unrewarded daily tasks – like weeding, watering, and watching the weather – that result in a bountiful harvest. Successful business management requires a lot of daily work, but the harvest makes it all worthwhile.

Maintaining a well-run organization is a top business priority. Identify issues that must be resolved to ensure the proper conditions for growth. Empower your employees and remove obstacles to their success. Create an environment that fosters productivity.

Do you want higher quality? Clean the restrooms. There’s no better indicator of your attitude on quality than bathroom cleanliness. Identify other important “environmental” concerns and attend to them faithfully. Keep your focus on creating the proper conditions for growth, and you will reap a bounty of business success.

A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished (Proverbs 28:20).
