Achieving Financial Alignment 30 Biblical Principles For Ordering Your Financial Life

God is interested in our willingness to manage and administrate all that He has given to us. Nothing will be thrown into our laps. Financial prosperity is not an unconditional providential blessing; conditions are attached. We are to take action and be proactive. The abilities and giftings God provides motivate us to action. Sometimes it takes our persistence in doing the same things faithfully with the heart of a servant. Other times it is time to try new things, new methods, and seek new opportunities. Sometimes the steady plodding brings the success of the blessed life. Many people, deep in debt and lacking in self-discipline in their spending and contentment level, complain that their employers don't pay them enough, their taxes are much too high, their business costs have skyrocketed, or render some other excuse why they cannot plan for their financial future. Of course, some of these excuses may have a certain amount of legitimacy to them, but they don't excuse a person from the responsibility of making sure that they are not wasting any of the resources God has allowed to come through their hands. The problem is rarely a lack of money; it is a lack of money management. Money management simply means self-management. This book will help the reader to re-align their financial attitude so that can begin to fulfill their potential financial altitude.

Author Rich Brott notes that ¿faith¿ is a choice, an act of the human will. It is a deliberate choice to place confidence in God and His Word. Unbelief is a sin because it is a deliberate choice to withhold confidence in God and His Word. Faith is a receiving of the truth, an embracing of the truth, and a commitment to the God of truth! And commitment always produces action. That is why faith without works is dead. With no action there is no commitment. With no commitment there is no faith! In this book, you will find 25 faith-building principles that will enlarge your capacity to receive the very best that God has to offer you.

According to author Rich Brott, the topic of tithing on your increase always relates to your entire life and all that you are concerned with. It's not strictly a financial issue. We have much to give that is far more valuable than money. We have our time, our commitment, our attitude, our gifting, our energy, our service, our talent, our assets, our devotion and our entire life. Yet in all that we have to offer, our attitude toward our finances does play an important role and affects the other areas of our life. Your role in receiving the blessings of God is all about you keeping only a needed portion of God's blessing and returning a large portion of the blessing so that others can be blessed as well. We should become resourceful and efficient stewards of all the possessions God has sent our way.

Giving to others brings indescribable pleasure. Author Rich Brott says, giving is fun! Giving is exciting! Just try to give something away without feeling wonderful. An inward joy comes to you when you have reached out and helped others. Whether it be in monetary gifts or simply rolling up your sleeves and helping out the old-fashioned way, the act of giving brings its own reward. When you give first, your own personal needs will be automatically taken care of. After all, giving is the Lord's work. It is Christianity in action.

Economic entrepreneurship has a history of success in every area of the world. It has sustained families, cities and nations as it has created employment opportunities and economic growth. Your success in business will be determined by your commitment to gain, learn, understand, and implement knowledge, experience, ability, opportunity, capital, commitment and do it all with great business passion. Success is a planned event and rarely happens without great personal effort. Maximizing your business success means that you are effective, productive and efficient. Never give up! In other words, trying and failing is a risk one must bear in order to be able to succeed. Success is in turning failure into an opportunity. Failure is not your enemy. Successful people see failure as a seed; the seed of success.

Business focus is an integral part of your ability to advance and build your business into something beyond mediocrity. Staying focused on your vision and purpose is very key. Nothing significant is ever achieved without focus. If it's worth getting, it must be the focus of your attention at all times. Focus begins with a sense of purpose, mission and vision. This is your sense of direction, your road map, your life track for the business. It's where you are headed. A growing company does not continue without great business productivity, timely follow-through and effective leadership. Advancing a Successful Business is not automatic and will not happen without a steady hand at the helm backed by a great team who stays alert and motivated.

Dreams worth pursuing do not have to be spectacular or amazing. The important thing is living a dream that is really yours. Those who are most fulfilled know what they want and go after it. Understanding and shaping vision is the basis for any new or existing personal or business career. Vision development is a process. But first, it seems appropriate to ask some questions. Why are you here? What is your personal purpose in life? Why are you doing what you are doing? What brought you to this profession? Why are you where you are? These are all questions you must ask yourself before developing a successful personal vision. They same holds true when it comes to a business vision. Understanding who you are and what you are all about is pertinent to understanding what it is you want to accomplish.

Author Rich Brott notes six themes that are mutually dependent upon each other, each of which represent a necessary requirement for a successful business. They are, Knowledge, Experience, Ability, Opportunity, Capital, and Commitment. When it comes to business failures, the stats are not pretty. Within the first year of operation, over 50% of businesses fail. Extend the time period to five years, and the statistics become even worse. In that time period over 95% of all businesses fail. From the beginning, business is risky and chances of success poor. But you can significantly improve your chances of success with good insight, preparation and planning. The author notes that in this book he wants to help you in the area of establishing your business and will do so by leading you step-by-step through these critical areas.
