Christian Home Business Goals for a New Year

By Gary Hamblin

You dont want your time, money, and priorities to be dictated by others, and this will happen unless we give some honest thought on how to reach our Christian Home Business Goals. We must first identify high priority life objectives and goals for ourselves, and then pray about them, so we can make sure they are along the same path of what our Lord wants for us. This will create a strong and intimate relationship with our Lord, and it will also give us a strong partnership with the one partner who can produce great success for us in achieving our goals - and that partner is our Lord.

Effective planning of your business goals will help you to have much healthier and happier relationships with your family and friends, as you will develop the very peaceful mind-set that comes from having a very well laid out business plan. As Proverbs says, The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage (Proverbs 21:5). Our Lord will be our Greatest Partner in our ultimate success, so our Lord must be a part of our goals and planning.

Goals and Motivation (the Why):

To begin, I encourage you to write down each of your goals. You must also remember to keep your mind and heart open to Gods desires for you. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, a mans heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. That doesnt mean you are not supposed to make plans and set priorities. But it does mean that on occasion, you will need to adjust your focus as God reveals His true purposes for your life.

You will then need to write down why its important for your objectives to be met, once your objectives are written down and listed. This is the way that youll know your true motivation for each of the goals you plan to achieve. As an example, your plan may be to have a solid 2nd income coming in from a Christian home business. Why? Maybe you would love to live without any debt or you would like the guarantee of having a solid 2nd income if anything should happen to your employment status or health.

The creation of the why will motivate you to continue on with your plans, even when things come up that could easily cause you to abandon your goals. Also, in order to achieve your dreams, its important to have a clear idea of what your objectives are and why they are worth achieving.

Get Started Now -

Dont make the mistake of not getting started on your goals, because you feel sorry that you didnt take action on this sooner. Just determine what areas of your life could use some very specific goals, and get to work on them. It is never too late to improve your situation, whether it is about finances, relationships, or health, dont waste anymore time and just take action.

Instead, begin to establish where you want to be six months or a year from now, and ask God to give you the strength to stay on track. Enlist a friend to hold you accountable and periodically check up on your progress.

It is now time to sit down and make a plan for the days ahead, so that you will make sure to use your time efficiently. With your goals in place and your schedule laid out, you will be amazed when you find out that you are among the very few to have completed year end goals for your Christian home based business. You will also find out that you have left very little undone in your business. - 21151
