Biblical Business Principle - Let Your Yes be Yes...

BIBLICAL BUSINESS PRINCIPLE:

BE QUICK TO FIND YOUR “YES” OR “NO”

“AND DO NOT SWEAR BY YOUR HEAD, FOR YOU CANNOT MAKE EVEN ONE HAIR WHITE OR BLACK. ALL YOU NEED TO SAY IS SIMPLY ‘YES’ OR ‘NO’; ANYTHING BEYOND THIS COMES FROM THE EVIL ONE.”

Be decisive. Make decisions based on values. Know your “no’s.” Say, “Yes” to that which helps you fulfill your dreams. Live up to your word. Make your signature mean something. Your commitments matter, so don’t overcommit.

Matthew 5:36-37

Leaders like to say, “Yes,” but too many leaders say, “Yes” too often to too many things, which ultimately can sabotage their success. Jesus was a leader who never led while He was out of breath. He demonstrated decisive leadership. He knew the people He was supposed to be with, the projects He was supposed to be working on, and the places where He was to be, at the right time. Jesus possessed clarity on the most critical things, which enabled him to say, “No” to the things that would not help Him to complete His mission and purpose.

Clarity and passion are two prerequisites for a successful leader, and a successful company. No company or organization was ever built on half-hearted attempts at greatness. God calls full-time followers who are passionate about honoring Him in their life and business.
