FROM CHAOS TO ORDER: HOW TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS

W

hen you work for someone else, they typically have a system in place for you.

When you start your own business, you’re in charge of creating the system. Dozens of ideas and possibilities tend to float around in the entrepreneur’s head, but these unguided thought processes can become overwhelming without an anchor. Starting a business can feel like rolling a large stone up a hill. There are many irons in the fire that it can become difficult to keep track of everything you need to stay on course.

Get Direction So, how do we access divine direction? The first two verses in the Bible give us a hint. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters,” Genesis 1:1-2 (ESV).

I love that word— hovering. It creates a sense of anticipation for what’s to come. From something that was absolutely without form, God created Count the Cost intricate systems of art and life. Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV) puts it this way: “By faith we understand In Luke 14:28-30, Jesus makes it clear that that the worlds were framed by the word of God we should count the cost before we step into so that the things which are seen were not made of something new. “For which of you, desiring to things which are visible.” It was all original. When build a tower, does not first sit down and count God hovered, I like to think that He imagined the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? everything that He was about to set into motion.

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, He underwent the process of ideation. And get saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able this— we’re made in the image of God. That means that He endows us with the capability to to finish’ (ESV).” create order out of the chaos, too.

Jesus was referring to a life of discipleship. He There’s an excellent tool that can help you sort out made it clear that being a Christian takes our your ideas before you start your own business.
