Business Planning Principles - Part IV

In this series, we’re talking about principles for business planning. 

• The fourth principle is this: Diligently executing God’s plan is more profitable than hasty pursuits.

The TV program “60 Minutes” did a feature on a company started by some political consultants to sell “personal protection equipment.” Although they had no experience in securing PPE, they had great political contacts.

This company quickly had orders for millions of dollars, but they didn’t have the knowledge, product or expertise to fulfill the orders. Their company is now under multiple investigations because of their hasty pursuit of riches.

Proverbs 21:5 teaches, "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."

Hasty pursuit of riches is a recipe for disaster. Instead, diligently execute the plan God has for you.
