The deeper meaning of success in the business world
The business world is built around success – the success of a project, the success of a business, or the success of a worker. But, worldly success only scratches the surface of the true success of business. The relationships we build are the marker of success. The more relationships we build, the more we get to know the people around us, and the more opportunities we have to share Christ.
Keeping God at the Center of Everything We Do
We go into the business world with success in mind, but who do we give credit for our successes? When we keep God at the center of everything we do, all of a sudden He will be the most visible in our lives. Our lives look different because of Him.
