Foundation: a basis upon which something stands or is supported.

Psalms 111:10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!

What do you base your Foundation on? When you think about your growth and prospering, what does it all fall back on? My foundation is built on FAITH. My walk and faith in him have allowed my life to flourish. Not only do I show faith in my walk with Christ, but I also have faith in myself. I push to thrive in all that I set my mind to; my time is precious and I treat it as such. I don’t settle or lower my standards because of what my business is built on and the knowledge and wisdom I have gained. Why would you settle for less with your expertise? Know your worth! You worked hard for your accomplishments, now it's time to show others who you are and whose you are.

Key Points

• Lay a solid foundation and then build upon that (there are levels to this)

• Networking

• Education

• Market Research

• Branding

• Perfect your craft

Utilize the foundation you have laid and built on. Remember there are levels in building anything from relationships to an organization. It all begins from an idea that will eventually flourish to your benefit. Baby step the process if need be. You have to crawl before you walk. Do you have the faith to keep pushing toward your goal? Take a moment of self-evaluation; outweigh your pros and cons and master the inevitable.
