How Christians Do Business

Christians run wonderful and successful businesses and the reason is because they have faith and they trust in God to lead them in the right direction. They also have faith and believe that God will guide people to them and that he will help them work their business in a Christian way.

There are several things you need to do to run a successful Christian business.

1. Prayer

Start your day with prayer. Pray that you will know exactly what to do to reach the goals and dreams you set for that day. Also pray for your customers or clients. Pray that God will lead them in the right direction and that they will reach the levels of success they have set for themselves.

2. Daily devotionals

Daily devotionals are short readings or studies that will help you grow your faith. It’s a great way to start or end your day. You will be in faith and feel great about your day and everything that it brings.

3. Tithe

Tithe with the income from your business and you will be rewarded by God. Not only will you feel the reward because you will be helping your church, but you will also see the rewards through God. He will lead people to your business and he will help you grow your business in ways you never thought possible.

4. Customers or clients

Pray for the success of your customers or clients. You should also pray for the health and safety each day. When they are successful, healthy, and safety they will spend more with you.

5. Organize

Organize your days and weeks so you can be successful. Create a to-do list and make sure you include prayer time and devotional time. When you start your day with prayer time you will feel refreshed and ready to start your day. When you have your devotional time, you will learn more and you will feel much better about running your day because you will be doing it the way God wants you to.

6. Prayer

End your day in prayer. Thank God for those things that happened during your day and thank him for a great day tomorrow. Thank him for all the goals you achieved and for the items you were able to cross off your list.

Starting your day with prayer and a daily devotion will help you start your day on the right foot. When you pray at the end of your day, you will be able to spend the rest of your day praising God for the success you had. When you run your business the way God wants you to do it, you will be successful and you will reach your goals.

How to Share your Business with Others

How to Share your Business with Others

To grow your business, you need to share it with others. Not every person you show it to will be interested in it, but they may know someone that might be interested.

There are so many ways to share your business with others. Some of it depends on the money you want to spend, some will depend on the time you want to invest, and some will depend on the business you own. Here are some tips that will help you share with others.

• Business cards

Business cards are a great way to show others what you do. The best way to do your cards is to use them as an ad. VistaPrint.com offers free business cards that are nice and you can choose what you want and the words you put on it. Make sure you include your contact information so people will know how to find you.

You can hand your cards out to people when you are standing in line at the grocery store. You can include them with your monthly bills or you can leave them on the table in the waiting room. Business cards are the perfect size to leave just about anywhere.

• Postcards

Postcards are a great way to share your business with others. You can mail them to your target market, you can include them in mom packs or orders that are shipped out, or you can hand them out to people when you are at the library with the kids. You can put more information on a postcard than you can a business card, so these come in handy when you have a special or need to give more information to attract someone to your site.

• Samples

Giving samples away are perfect because people love to get something for free. A lot of businesses have trial sizes you can give out or you can create your own. Lotion, candles, makeup, and perfume make great samples. You can take a regular sized bottle of lotion or perfume and put them in a small bottle and get quite a few samples out of it. With the candles you can cut it into slivers or shred it so you can put them in a small bag. You will give them to people so they can smell the sent of the candle. Make sure you put the name of what you are giving them and a way to contact you to purchase their own.

These three suggestions will work great for almost any business you could run. Basically you need to find ways to share with others and be creative when you do it. Look at what others are doing and see if you can do it as well.

The main thing is to share your business with others. No matter what you use to do it, when you share you will grow. So be creative and enjoy sharing your business with others.
