Wealth Competence

By Bo Sanchez

From age 12 to my 30s, I was planting. Planting means being faithful to the right things. Focusing, nurturing and developing my core gifts. Serving God and others with all my heart. Learning from my failures. In other words, I developed my Wealth Competence.

Wealth Competence is your ability to create wealth. But developing this ability isn't instant. You develop it over time.

That's why during the Planting season of my life, even if I was planting faithfully, I wasn't receiving much material reward. I was receiving a lot of spiritual blessings. I was receiving a lot of blessings in my relationships. I was receiving a lot of emotional rewards. But not financial or material rewards.

But through that difficult stage in my life, God developed my character — a very important component of my Wealth Competence.

Through the Planting Season of my life, God helped me establish my hierarchy of values.

I learned to value the spiritual more than the material.

I learned to value love more than money.

I learned to value relationship more than profit.

I learned to value the joy of hard work.

Person Before Profit

If you're going through the Planting Season, and it seems as though not much material reward is flowing your way, don't despair.

Keep planting seeds of love.

The most important abundance in the world is not material abundance but spiritual abundance. And spiritual abundance is love.

For many years, I was a poor person who was very happy with life.

I had very little money but had much love.

I was far from perfect, but I tried to love the people God sent to my path.

I especially loved the "little" people. Orphans. Elderly. Poorest of the poor.

Kid you not, I believe I went through the best business school in the world.

This will sound totally absurd to some businessman, but I believe that the first Wealth Competence is love. Loving a customer is the best business strategy.

When you love a customer, I believe the material blessings will follow.

Sure, you can make a buck by swindling a customer. Sure, you can create a huge business empire by choosing profit over person.

But why do that when there's a loving way of becoming wealthy?

If you make money without love, that business will lose its soul.

Love for Customer Drives You to Excellence

I'm a communicator. That's my core gift.

Because I love my customer, I want to give them the best product.

So I hone my craft of communication. I pray more. I study more. I prepare more. I write more. I speak more. I learn from the best communicators in the world.

That's why I believe love can be the foundation of competence.

Next week, I'll talk about the other ingredient — Wealth Consciousness.

May your dreams come true,


Bo

God is GREAT

God is GREAT !

Concentrate on this Sentence
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.
Do not break!

Send it to all your friends... JUST DO IT!

WHEN A CHiLD PRAYS

I was having lunch with friends one day. I was really getting hungry but couldn’t start eating because my friend who was blessing our food was saying a litany of prayers. Then I heard a little girl from the other table saying a simple yet poignant prayer. “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the fries, the burger and the Coke, and for giving Mommy and Daddy the money to buy
them.” “Amen,” I replied, to the surprise of my friend who was still praying.
God takes no account of the quantity of words we use when we talk to Him. The one thing He looks into is our motives and the state of our hearts when we pray. We should never utter one syllable of prayer, either in public or in private, until we are sure that we have come into the presence of God and are actually praying to Him.
The greatest acts of worship are acts of simple obedience to God each day of the week.
