How long have you been working? Do you find it easy balancing the demands of family and work?
I asked because there are those who are successful in the corporate world, but still would like to get out of their comfort zone to be their own boss.
On the other hand, I have crossed paths with people who don’t need a job but strives to be part of the corporate jungle. A few would rather work for someone else as an employee, rather than be part of the family business.

I had fun yesterday teaching the graduating students and faculty members about Social Media and Personal Branding. Not that these people are naive of these tools, but they just use social media for fun and nothing more.
Blogs and Social Media, as web 2.0 enthusiasts already know, is a tool that can be used for and against us. The thoughts, pictures, vlogs and other stuff’s we share determine our online reputation.

It’s supposed to be a season where job is a rare commodity, but I received a call from a headhunter requesting for my updated CV. Her client is a flourishing company, despite the present crisis, and in need of someone to head their HR dep’t. The budget is rather tempting, so before I put myself in a complex situation, I decided to politely pass the opportunity.

Allow me to share with you the teaching of Dr. David Sumrall of Cathedral of Praise on January 18, 2009. This is with the assumption that the Christian is a regular tither.
1. Commit to daiIy devotion
Job 8:13-18 13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. 14 What he trusts in is fragile [a] ;what he relies on is a spider’s web. 15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he clings to it, but it does not hold. 16 He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden; 17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones. 18 But when it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says, ‘I never saw you.’
2. Commit to regular Church attendance and serve God
Neh 13:14- Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.
3. Commit to hard work
Prov. 10:4- Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
4. Commit to a righteous life
Ps 92:12- The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
Ps 58:9- Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.
