Start Up Mind-Set
“Most Of The More Impressive Mind-Set I’ve Known, Whether Religious Or Not, Don’t Really Do It For The Money. They Build Businesses To Provide The World With Their Products And Services, To Generate Jobs And Taxes, To Contribute Productively To Society, And To Make Full Use Of Their God-Given Abilities. A Little Like Those Who Have A Religious Faith, Entrepreneurs Often See Their Work As A Calling, Rather Than Just Work.”
Managing A Business Using Strict Christian Ethics Isn’t Easy! There Can Be No Room For Any Of The Deadly Sins, Such As Pride, Envy Or Greed. As A Lifelong Entrepreneur, I Agree. It Is Not Easy To Always Run Your Business Using Christian Practices. It Is Tempting To Pay Less Tax By Writing Off Expenses That Aren’t Allowed, Or Indulging In Sharp Practices To Stay Competitive; And It Is Easy To Succumb To The Power That Owning A Business Can Bring, Especially A Large One. Believing They Did It “All On Their Own” May Be The Biggest Trap An Entrepreneur Can Fall Into. They Will Then No Longer Possess One Of The Hallmarks Of A Christian Humility.
How To Have A Christian Mind-Set:-
- Understands That “Work Is Worship” To The Glory Of God.
- Has Responsible Leadership Which Emphasizes On Social Responsibility, Social Services And Diaconia.
- Builds High Performance And Sustainable Business Model; • Creates Jobs And Cares For The Employees.
- Is Engaged For Innovative, Good, Sustainable, Healthy Products Serving The Needs Of The Clients.
- Is Engaged In Innovative Strategies For The Long Term Existence Of The Company.
- Is Engaged For Continuous, Long Term Profit Optimization And Not Short Term Profit Maximization. Profit Is Not A Goal In Itself, But A Means To Create The Jobs And Serve The Company.
- Shares Part Of The Benefit/Profit With The Needy.
- Looks For Constant Guidance In The Decisions From The Christian Faith And Community.
Each Situation Of Start Up – Enterprise, Environment And Talents Are Different. Therefore There Is No One Single Standard.
It’s Your Mind-Set That Will Shape The Decisions You Make – Which Dictate The Actions You Take – Which Directly Produce The Outcomes That Are Produced.
And Interestingly… All Of That Fuels And Strengthens Your Mind-Set, Because You’re Seeing That Your Faith In Action Produces God’s Desired Outcomes.
So – Action Based On False Beliefs About Yourself Will Yield Negative Or Less-Than-Best Results. But Action Based On True Beliefs Are Actions That Move Along The Lines Of What God Has In Mind. They Are Actions In Accordance With The “Good Works” God Planned Before You Were Born. That’s When Your Business Will Begin To Thrive According To God’s Plan For It (The Best Plan For It), And When You’ll Begin To See Amazing Things Happen. So… Start With Mind-Set.
