My Birthday Revelation
So yesterday was my birthday and this is what I’m realizing. Unfortunately I wish I could have learned this 10 to 15 years ago but prayerfully this helps you.
Time is very expensive. God has placed each of us here for a specific purpose but there are back ups… there are other people that have a similar purpose.
When I was in sales I managed a team. My secret was there was no oversight on how many people you hired. That means if my sales budget was 100 sales a month, I could be like most managers and hire 4-6 people…
Guys keep reading I’m about to put you on game.
That means each sales rep would need to hit on average 20 sales a month. Which lines up with the budget for a sales rep which is 4 sales a week. BUT
What you find is most stores NEVER or rarely hit their bugdet. Why? Because most sales reps underperform. So they would hire and fire and hire and fire.
I decided to hire 10 sales reps lol sometimes I would even have 12.
Btw I won the Presidents Club Award and was the 2nd best store in reality but the Number 1 on paper.
My reps only had to get 2 sales a week and I was a superstar, always knocking my budget out the park!
WHY DOES THIS MATTER⁉️
Because this is how God works. This year I’ve seen multiple people doing parts of the purpose God put in my heart. (Traveling around showing the behind the scenes of evangelism with a team) When I see it I get sad but also excited. Sad because I know I’ve wasted years and not been faithful.
You see I had sales reps that mDe a lot of money and others who were struggling. Just because they didn’t do what I asked didn’t hurt me… it hurt them! It cost them money. Not me.
God will finish His purpose, but He wants you involved!
This is what I’m learning… the enemy can’t stop you but he tries to slow you down. To hinder you. Sin is the greatest hindrance because you go backwards and wander in circles. But outside of sin, laziness, distractions (social media) steal minutes and hours that over time turn into months and years of wasted potential.
What I would tell my 20 year old self: Speak Scripture to overcome sin. Speak Life to create your future. Work Hard because nothing can stop you and be mindful of distractions that the enemy sends.
