TeleMentoring That Benefits Christian Entrepreneurs

As a part of our teams Ongoing Christian Telementoring a couple hundred Entrepreneurs listen in every monday on a conference call called "TGIM" Thank God Its Monday call. Most people dread monday as the begining a the work week but the individuals on this call are excited to see what the week will have to offer. Its awesome the individuals on these calls are laying it out every single day not playing small ball and seeking biblical truth and clairity in direction. They are coming to a ever increasing realization of how to use their business endeavors as marketplace ministry.
There was question asked to Jack Weinzierl,who was hosting the call, how do I create a sense of urgency and hunger in this business if we are comfortable and all our needs are met. I included Jacks response along with the notes from that TGIM CALL.

We have a good life. Folks, I will just tell you right now, we are all called to do SO much more. It is not us four and no more. If you do not have that burning desire to do more, to be able to give more, I challenge you to get involved with some local charities or better yet, go on a mission trip where the invisible children live on garbage dumps. Do you see how that personal cocoon and comfort is a selfish mindset. We can and will do so much more to be different makers and not space takers. If you think that's all there is to go throughout our day, waking up early, commuting in traffic, going to work, coming home late, so that we can make just enough to afford our home, coffee so we can get up early for that job, clothes that we need to go to work, a car that we need to go to work, food that we need to go to work, and so on, you are mistaken. Think about it how ridiculous that really is. No wonder so many wake up in their 40s or 50s wondering what the purpose of life is. A mid-life crisis is really a "lack of purpose and passion"crisis.
What lie have we bought into? And a new Corvette is not going to satify that void. Never will.
I am reminded of a gentleman who shared at a recent conference I attended.
He asked all of us, "Do dogs like bones?" Everyone said yes. But he quickly corrected us that Dogs like steak, but they settle for bones. How many of us have been settling for bones? They don't dislike bones, they settle for them! What is it they you are settling for?
We were born to win, BUT we must choose to win. It involves you seeing yourself as God sees you and recognizing that your inheritance of the abundant life is here and now.
Here and Now. There is a sense of urgency, not emergency we all need to operate under in our businesses and out lives. We all have the same hours in a day and days in the week. This sense of urgency is critical. I look at someone like our new MMC-IV team member, Steven Walle from Ft. Worth and in his first two weeks he will have two MMC-IVs, two MMC-Is, and he called last week with some of the top names in ministry who he called that have agreed to link to his AC site. These names blew me away and when I asked how he got through, he states, I simply called them.
You may need a revelation in your life today. There's plenty of money out there folks. When we look at prosperity in the Bible it is more than just money. It means nothing lacking; wholeness; having everything you need and abundance.
God created You for Greatness! Live and walk the vision. We need to see what God has promised us and that is in His Word.
He said we are "Clothed with Power" It is not the spooky natural, but the Supernatural. We need to live the Word and we have to let God walk, control and lead our lives. If we see it in the Word, are we ready to live it out? When we do, we will have influence, we will be light because of who is in me. Our walk has to line up. We need to expect more.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
