God’s Time

A man walked to the top of a hill to talk to God.

The man asked, “God, what’s a million years to you?” and God said, “A minute.”

Then the man asked, “Well, what’s a million dollars to you?” and God said, “A penny.”

Then the man asked, “God…..can I have a penny?” and God said, “Sure…..in a minute.

The Cat

A pastor had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. 

The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

He did all this, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went "boing!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible.

He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping," and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?"

She replied, "You won't believe this," and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, "Well if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it!"

She told the pastor, "I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes.

A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her."

A Riot in Paris

In the 19th century there was a riot in Paris. A colonel was ordered to disperse it with guns.

After pointing the guns at the crowd he said: "Will all the respectable citizens please leave the square so I can shoot the mob as I'm ordered?"

And the square emptied completely.

Sometimes you just have to ask...

Trust In God

Man : God, can I ask you a question?

God: Sure...

Man: Promise you won't get mad...

God: I promise...

Man : Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do you mean?

Man: Well, I woke up late...

God: Yes

Man: my car took forever to start...

God: Okay...

Man: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong I had to wait...

God: Hummm...

Man: On, the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call

God: All right..

Man: And on top of it all, when I got home - I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. But, it wouldn't work! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?

God: Let me see, the death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of my Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that...

Man: (humbled): Oh!

God: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Man: (Ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Man: (Embarrassed): Okay

God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling you was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Man: (Softly): I see God

God: Oh, and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to shut off all the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Man: I'm sorry God.

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me... in all things, the good and the bad.

Man: I will trust you.

God: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.

Man: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank you for everything today.

God: You're welcome, child. it was just another day being your God and I Love looking after my children...

God Loves You...

Now, experts Agree that more companies face an unstable business environment. Improvements in information processing and
telecommunications have made major changes in many businesses. In addition to this, improvements in transportation and the
development of foreign markets (specifically in Europe and Asia) have created a worldwide market and redefined certain industries.
Additionally, as consumers are exposed to more options, loyalty has become less significant as it once was; a slightly better
price or a temporary lack of inventory can easily lead to the loss of consumers. Competitors also can alter quickly, with new ones
emerging from out of nowhere (often this means another side of the globe). With the uncertainty of the worldwide market, it is
vital that you make strategic planning part of your overall business strategy.

Proactive Versus Reactive Management. A couple of years ago, you could establish and maintain a business by reacting to and
meeting changes in tastes, prices and costs. This reactive type of management was often enough to keep the company going. However,
today changes occur quickly and come from a number of directions. From the time a reactive manager can make the necessary
alterations, he or she may lose many clients -- maybe for good.

Proactive Planning is the anticipation of future events. Decisions are based on predictions of future states of the environment as
opposed to responses to several crises as they happen. Proactive planning within an unstable, technology-driven business
environment is critical to continuing success in almost any endeavor. As opposed to reacting to the situation as it affects,
proactive planning requires that you examine environmental forces and make resource-allocation decisions. Using this method you
can take your business where it needs to be in the next month, decade and year. Barry Worth, a consultant specializing in small
business management, puts it this way: Today's entrepreneur must be a business proprietor. Anything constructed in today's
business environment has to have a step-by-step blueprint or strategy about how to reach success. The blueprint for the business
owner is a business plan.

The Need To Get a Strategic Plan. Planning has an important role in any business enterprise. It may make the difference between
the success or failure of your organization. You need to plan carefully before investing your time and, especially, your cash in
any business venture. The need for a strategy is best illustrated by the following situation -"A Tale of 2 Firms."

Two franchises (A and B) were started by individuals who had worked in management in much larger companies. While Franchise A
provided a item and Franchise B per service, the outcome of both franchise systems were sold exclusively in the USA prior to the
current owners became involved. The output of both was readily available in several other developed nations as well. The
franchises started about the same time and neither franchisee had a solid market presence, nor do they present. Today Franchise B
is broke. By contrast, Franchise A is selling products in the Midwestern United States and in Europe.

What was the Deciding difference from the two franchises' success? You probably expect it to be that one had developed a tactical
plan and the other hadn't; howeverit is not this easy. Many things can influence the result of a business venture. There were lots
of similarities between the businesses, but there also were many gaps.

Most notably, Franchise A marketed a solution and Franchise B a service (although this doesn't clearly limit options). The other
difference was that Franchise A had a closely thought-out plan. The investors knew as they looked to get a franchise partner they
desired to find a product which could satisfy international markets along with a franchiser who would support that type of sales
effort. These investors were based in the Midwest, but negotiated for exclusive rights to export the franchiser's merchandise.
Once they had obtained the franchise, as soon as they began to establish their business domestically, they also began to contact
authorities specialists from the U.S. Department of Commerce and educators and local managers with international experience.

Clear plans Were developed outlining how they'd position, promote and distribute the solution and which foreign markets will be
targeted first. Even as they were building sales in one European market, they had been attending trade shows and preparation entry
strategies in others.

By comparison, The next investor (Franchise B) started his business strictly because he wanted to leave a former employer. Of
course many small businesses begin this way; however, in this case no evaluation of franchising alternatives was completed. The
organization was located in an area that, as it turned out, included virtually no customers for the kind of support being offered.
If this mistake was realized, it was too late to proceed --the investor simply didn't have the money or the desire to risk
starting again.

Other examples Further show the need for strategic planning and for creating a clear business strategy. The owner of a company
that seemed to be doing quite well in two locations was about to open in a thirdparty. The authors have been called in to develop
a benefits policy and discovered cash flow conditions that may be found just after operations had begun in the new site. After
assessing the situation, a growth and financial program was designed for the audio locations only. In another case, the authors
decided that a business had purchased more equipment than has been necessary to accomplish the present workload.

After careful Analysis, intends to make additional purchases were placed on hold, along with the equipment available was utilized
effectively to meet immediate demands.

A Enterprise Enterprise is to complex to assume that failure to come up with a sound business Plan is going to be the reason
behind issues But this failure often counts One of the factors contributing to business issues. As Worth has stated, "Being a
business entrepreneur today takes constant vigilance in order to Be in a position to take advantage of new opportunities and the
access to new Information and technology as they come into being." The first step in Doing so is to have a plan.
