You should be a Christian entrepreneur. Did you ever wonder why some Christian is poor and some rich? We also see non-Christian rich and poor. Why is that? I conclude that religion obviously does not determine your wealth status. Then what determines your poor or rich condition?

I believe each person largely contributes to his or her condition. You can elect to be stay the way you are, stay in the same job. Or you can elect to get out of where you are and work towards becoming better with your wealth and riches, regardless of whether you are a Christian or not.

I take it that you are a Christian if you are reading this blog. I demand that you study the book of proverbs and take notes about poor and rich. Take note that laziness is what determines your condition. To be a Christian entrepreneur takes effort and time.

Many are lazy in sticking to a job because doing business is difficult and may demand more effort, time, and money. Therefore, they give up and try other gimmicks like giving to TV prosperity teachers. They demand that you give to them in order to prosper. Their teaching is not sound. It encourages laziness and lack of initiative on your part. Giving to ministries and churches does not guarantee any income if you are lazy.

Do not get me wrong, I do encourage people to give to God. You should never give as a means to get wealthy. Give to God as a token of your thankfulness and helping the poor. You are steward of your money so be generous to the needy. As a Christian entrepreneur, you can help so many.

In order to fulfill the biblical mandate to be fruitful and multiply, we have to be more than an employee. We should strive to start a business as part time to start with. Do not waste your time going to church all days of the week. Sunday is good enough. Other days work hard and achieve for you wealth and riches.

The reason you should become a Christian entrepreneur is not just for wealth. It is what God has promised to us. The Lord God gives you the power to get wealth. You have to get it. God wants you to be a blessing to others. You have to help with your riches others in need.

God blesses you through your efforts and you flow that blessing to others in need. Remember you cannot be a blessing to others if you are poor. You will always be begging from others and be in debt all the days of your life. That is not Gods will for you. Become a Christian entrepreneur and be a blessing.

Are you going through some changes in your personal life? I am sure that you are, even if those changes are small. If you are not experiencing change, there is something wrong.

“If you’re in a bad situation, don’t worry it’ll change. If you’re in a good situation, don’t worry it’ll change.” – John A. Simone, Sr.

Check if the mirror is still fogging up when you breathe on it. If it does, it means you are alive and you will experience change. Even if it is only the simple fact that today you are a day older than yesterday. Some cells have died and others are being renewed.

Some people experience more radical changes than others, but we all experience change. Most people try to avoid change instead of embracing it. Change is a good thing because it forces you to grow mentally, spiritually and physically. Change keeps you mentally sharp. It forces you to search deeper for who you really are and what your purpose in life is. Change gets you out of your comfortable chair and forces you to get up and deal with the problems at hand instead of the TV remote in your hand. Change requires your business to become more efficient, more competitive and more profitable. Instead of being fearful of change, embrace it.

Whether it is personal changes or business changes, change can be intimidating because it forces us to deal with uncertainty. It makes us feel like we are losing control and we don’t like to lose control. We rather control what happens today , tomorrow, next month and next year. That’s why we want to plan things, whether it is a vacation, a family or a business. When suddenly things are not going to plan, we are often stunned and shaken up.

However, once you have accepted the fact that change is a normal part of life, both personally and in business, you will be able to more effectively handle it. We can look at change as a negative or we can view it as a chance to become a better person. If we are faced with sudden changes in our business, it is an opportunity to create a better business. We cannot change the past, but we can decide how we react to change and that often requires us to change how we look at things.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Victor Frankl

If we are able to look forward and not look back, then we can take hold of the positive mindset that allows us to move on with renewed energy and commitment. If you have lost a customer, look for others. If your product or service becomes obsolete, build better ones. If you have lost a business, start a new venture. If you have lost your job or lost a business in this recession, don’t think of yourself as a failure but look at it as an opportunity to start over and to do it better this time around. Change is unavoidable. How you handle it, is what matters. Welcome change and recognize that change can have a positive effect on your life or your business.

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights. – Pauline R. Kezer

During these difficult economic times a lot of people lost their job and some have decided to start a business. That is a major change for most people. If that is you, you can minimize the effect of that change by choosing a business that fits your skills, experience and passion. If you are new to running your own business, keep in mind that business is more than just making money. If you focus first and foremost on making money, you will always toil to experience abundance. Focus on how you can help people and develop your product or service with that in mind. If you do that part of running a business correctly, then money and abundance will follow.

“A business that only makes money is a poor business” – Henry Ford

Whatever caused you decide to start a business, embrace the change that it brings. Dont look back and play the mind game could have, should have, would have. Concentrate on how you can best help people in your new business venture, and success will follow. Starting a business is a big change in your life. However, if you look at it as new opportunity to use your skills and experience you will have success. It does not mean that success will come instantly or easy, but commitment, hard work and integrity in your business dealings will bring you success.

Success stories dont really start from the upper echelons of society. It is usually the rags to riches story that inspire and instill hope among budding entrepreneurs. You cannot say the same about Mike Trimarco. His story is not one of struggle against odds with nothing to ward off those hurdles. Rather, Trimarcos story is one of working his way up the ladder of success after being educated and schooled to do that. His educational qualifications are dwarfed only by his professional ones. Mike Trimarco is one of those rare breed of men who have applied their education to build up a business empire. There was little recklessness or risky ventures with Trimarco. It was more of a practiced craftsmanship to build up something with patience and perseverance.

Mike Trimarco went to the best schools. He completed his Bachelors in Science from the Cornell University in New York. This happens to be an Ivy League college in USA. Trimarco went on to study business at the Harvard University. His distinguished achievements as a student got him the best jobs. He worked as a financial employee for prestigious firms like Lehman Brothers Trading and GE Capital. But Trimarco was not happy working for others. He wanted to build up something of his own. His sweep of vision was not to be contained in a company that was not his. So he decided to chuck up his cushy job and start something from scratch. In the year 1999, Mike Trimarco struck out on his own. Ten years down the line, he became the numero uno dealer of Dish Network Inc., the largest satellite TV provider in America.

The road to success was not without hurdles. Mike Trimarco faced what many businesspersons of his caliber generally come across. There were issues with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), there were falsified reports of scam and fraud. But Trimarco always considered these as distractions. He knew that he was building up something not just for himself or his business empire. He was making sure that American citizens get access to the best possible entertainment packages. He was working tirelessly to rise beyond the accusations of fraud and scam and give back customers what they had entrusted in him: the license to entertain them. Trimarco was working full time to bring Dish Network Inc. to as many American homes as possible.

Mike Trimarcos vision for his company is not confined by the barriers that have cropped up over time. He managed to quell all of them in getting ahead. Surely, along the way, Trimarco made some

enemies and detractors. His success story rubbed many complacent business networks the wrong way. Before they knew what hit them, Trimarco had overtaken them in business domains that they have worked in for ages. Trimarco quickly realized the value of digital technology and how it will revolutionize the way people watch TV. His vision for a future where every American home has access to satellite TV is well on track to be an achieved dream.
