Unbound: Do Purpose by David Hieatt

12/20/2015

0 Comments

 

This is a short yet profound video which contains a central idea - do purpose. 

David Hieatt shares, "Have you ever noticed that some of the best brands in the world make us feel something? They tell us their dreams and what they want to change. They bare their soul. And it touches us. At some point, we stop being customers and become fans.These companies like Apple, Patagonia, and so many smaller business around the UK, have a reason to exist. They know why they get out of bed in the morning. They have something that most brands don’t have: A Purpose. And it is an incredibly powerful thing.
Purpose gives you strength to fight the impossible. It builds your culture. It wins you your fans. It is your back-bone. It is your stubbornness. But more importantly, it helps to stop you from quitting. The pain of quitting a business is one thing. But to quit on a dream is quite another.
In his book, David Hieatt (founder of howies and Hiut Denim) will reveal the intuitive (and often counter-intuitive) principles at the heart of any great purpose-driven brand – and show how you can apply them to your own. Things like:

  • That ‘why’ matters
  • The importance of being first
  • Why you only need 1,000 true fans
  • How to find your voice and share your story
  • How to build a great team and company culture
  • Why trusting your customers breeds magic
  • Would the world be different, better even, if more businesses were like this?"

Aligning yourself with David's general idea that everyday must be under girded with destiny, and not just any destiny, but a Godly destiny, will set you to not only walk the path of life, but will help you enjoy a life well lived.

The Secrets of Success in 8 Words and 3 Minutes by Richard St. John

12/13/2015

Here is another gem from the world of Ted talks.  Ted opines, "Why do people succeed? Is it because they're smart, or are they just lucky? Analyst Richard St. John condenses years of interviews into an unmissable 3-minute presentation on the real secrets of success."

Viewer warning there is some salty language used in this presentation.  Nothing beyond a mild PG13 rating, but worth knowing before viewing.  We share it simply because the principles of success shared as a result of over 500 interviews with highly successful people is fascinating.

For anyone pursuing a Godly destiny in business, or any other calling, these principles of success will serve you well as you discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, Ashley Coleman shares with how having a greater purpose, caring, and expressing ourselves can lead to a gratifying business environment which makes a difference for those who need help.  Many Christians with a Godly destiny to help the poor and suffering are actually called into the world of business.  Let this video stir your spirit as you seek to discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

According to TedxSanJoaquin, "Ashley Coleman was raised out in the country on a vineyard ranch in the Central Valley of California. She liked getting her hands dirty, and especially loved picking grapes during harvest. At an early age, she learned to appreciate hard work and how much goes into making a great wine. As she grew older, her love for wine evolved as well as her passion for giving back. She is a graduate of Notre Dame, 3 year wine sales veteran, MBA student, and lover of all things creative. Now, she is the Chief Executive Officer for Greater Purpose, a wine sales company that gives 55% of its profit to organizations that work with orphaned children all over the world."

The E-Myth by Michael Gerber

11/6/2015

0 Comments

 

In this video from the early 1990's, Michael Gerber teaches us about business ownership - specifically entrepreneurship.  Many Christians believe that they are destined to own their own business and that they will wildly prosper.  However, small business ownership can be a prison if you are not properly prepared to think about working "on" the business instead of working "in" the business.

Being called into the world of business ownership is an exciting and challenging destiny.  It is not for the faint of heart.  This video will break down the cornerstone perspectives necessary to transform any small business from a job for the owner - into a system that works without them. These 40 minutes can, and should, change your life.
