Praying...

Apparently 90% of the World's population pray!

If you are one of those, please join me in praying for the success of Beautiful Bracelets. Especially today. It feels as though a lot hinges on just one day. Although the whole of the past 6 weeks has been preparation for this "one day".

It has been an interesting, fulfilling, stretching and fulfilling 6 weeks. I have worked so hard I feel as though I need a holiday, although there are clients waiting for me to take up other Challenges in my other business on Tuesday!. I won't be letting Beautiful Bracelets go, it will continue operating. For the past 6 weeks I have pushed it in a strong growth phase. For the rest of the year I will allow it to stabilise and be established. In 2013 I have big plans for Beautiful Bracelets. I have a vision and a dream for it, beyond this small little beginning!

"Do not despise the day of small beginnings." Zechariah 4:10

Write a Detailed Plan for Your Business

Write a detailed plan and be very specific. What I am talking about is not the official “Business Plan” that people sometimes ask for, full of words that are just copied from someone else’s idea off the internet. This must come from the heart. Visualise the success you desire. This becomes the blueprint of your future and amazing things will start to happen to cause your dream and your vision to manifest. I have found that by writing these things down, it forces me to focus on the specific tasks that I need to do daily, monthly and annually to achieve the end result. This focus also causes me to attract into my life the things, people and resources of energy, time, finances and materials that are necessary for the fulfillment of that vision and that goal. I have very specific goals for Beautiful Bracelets and already these things are happening to enable fulfilment of the dream.

“Where there is no vision the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18) Where there is no goal you will drift aimlessly and I really don’t believe a business can survive long term or prosper without one.
