Let's Get To Business with Jacob D. Lee

To communicate well means to understand and be understood that is why knowing the right methods is an essential life skill we need to learn. It is more than just exchanging information but also understanding the emotions and intentions behind the message.

The law of sowing and reaping not only applies to our farmer friends but is very useful in explaining God’s process. A bountiful harvest is a result of hard work and patient waiting because nothing good grows overnight.

Ideally, we should be painfully aware of our own shortcomings and sins, if we wish to judge righteously. Lack of self-awareness is like a “path without a destination” where there is simply no focus and no knowledge to start with.

Not everyone is aware that words have the ability to help, to heal, hinder, hurt, harm, humiliate, and to humble. The right words make all the difference so we have to be more intentional in using them whether spoken, or written.

Not everyone is aware that while success relies on innovation and creativity, it also takes many mistakes to succeed. If you let people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish and it sets the difference between success and failure.

The law of polarity basically says that everything in the universe has an opposite. The principle is that everything has two “poles”: good and evil, love and hate, attraction and disconnection, and its influence can transform our life.

According to Dr. John C. Maxwell, “your attitude colors every aspect of your life” because it is a primary component in determining success. Keep in mind that great attitudes are infectious and can positively impact the behaviors of others.

Do you know that effective change can only be successful if there is understanding and commitment to work effectively during the transition process? It all starts from within thus, self-reflection helps in addressing certain beliefs to become aware of them and thence, take action.

We wake up every day knowing we have to act on our goals with a sense of urgency but knowing as well that it can take years to attain the desired results. We have to commit but be realistic too in the timeline we set for ourselves and our business to grow.

It is always tempting to give up in challenging situations and escape but then that would also mean giving up on ourselves, our dreams, or even our principles. Determination and perseverance are keys to overcome and conquer the doubts we have in the process.

We can influence our destiny by the choices we make and each person has the right to make decisions and have choices about how they live their life. This is a power given to us by God that we should use not only for our good but also for the good of other people who may be affected by our life choice.

Jesus shares that parents give good gifts to their children so if mere humans can do this, how much more can our loving heavenly Father give to us, right? Pray for His will to be done in your life and in the world and you will be praying with the right motives.

Zacchaeus climbing up a Sycamore tree to see Jesus has a lot of meaningful interpretations when reflecting on the kind of faith we have. In that, sometimes it’s best not to stay in a crowd and rather do something out of the ordinary to exhibit our faith in what Jesus can do and change in our lives.

In every kind of business, passion should be innate because it can’t be learned or acquired but should always be present if we are to aim for success. Instead of going through the motions in life, passion gets us to do things necessary to grow and improve.

Our inner circle is a crucial component of our success because they raise the bar to push us to be better in all ways. Choose the right people and choose relationships that matter because the growth of our inner circle equates to our personal development as well.

Making excuses is a bad habit because the fact of the matter is, that it is up to us to decide to take responsibility and grow or to shift blame and stagnate. It stinks because every excuse you make takes you further away from reaching your full potential really and then you end up missing opportunities that you might never get back.

Do you know that habits can make or break our chances of achieving our goals and for making success in life? Some say bad habits are easy while good habits are hard but if we come to think of it, both are just repetitive actions and behaviors we want to repeat which have their own physical, emotional, or psychological consequences

We all need to be careful of how we live and walk wisely in all areas of life because it is a fact that we cannot turn the clock back once it passes. Truth be told that we all have lost opportunities along the way in life for various reasons but still, we can turn things around to make up for any lost or wasted time in the past.

Strong testimonies and powerful stories allow us to help others in their search for truth, thus it should be shared. Authentic and personal stories of faith are a gift from God and a great tool in building a solid foundation of proper beliefs and motivations which helps in our personal growth.

Dr. Maxwell has some words of insight: “Your attitude colors every aspect of your life.” It all makes a difference in how we face challenges, relationships, and even how we approach life. A different mindset is all it takes to separate the successful from the unsuccessful people.

In business, one needs to be perceptive, future-oriented, open-minded, proactive, working off the front-foot, and making and taking decisions based on evidence and calculated intuitions. It is important because it leads us to be able to create a clear set of plans, goals and new ideas.

What is a blessing? A blessing is described in Scripture as anything God gives that makes us completely satisfied with Him and that brings us closer to Him. On the other hand, we also have to remember that one can only truly be blessed when they are IN CHRIST JESUS.

Words have the ability to help, to heal, hinder, hurt, harm, humiliate, and humble. Just think of the power and energy we wield if we only become more intentional with our words to send a greater impact not only on ourselves but on other people as well.

They say people who know their purpose in life know who they are, what they are, and WHY they are, and to do that you must decide what's truly right and know it in your heart and soul. This makes you committed and passionate about your goals and helps you find your true passion in life

The Bible teaches us that prayer without action is just noise and so faith being a verb rather than a noun requires action. Following the Lord’s path means we trust that He knows best and He knows the best way to handle every situation so we get the best possible outcome from our actions.
