So...out of curiosity, are you running your own web server from home/the office or using a web host that supports Wordpress (open source CMS)? P.S. Since I have a business, my site is a lot more thorough but I have which is a bit more personal. The above works great when sharing online. When offline, such as when meeting people in real life, the most powerful method I've used is: "Hey, you got your cell phone with ya?" (Who doesn't these days 🤷‍♂️) "Cool, can I see it and I'll type my number in it for ya." then I send them a text message from their own phone to me saying something like "Hey it's Bob" (or whatever their name is) I simply reply to their text with my contact card and say "It was great chatting about..." (whatever it was we discussed).

I enjoy reading, especially intellectual stuff. Arguably, I love reading...more so, I love learning (regardless of format)! While I have my opinions, strong as they may be at times, I would not consider myself a complainer... THAT BEING SAID! Kindle...what did you do?!? 🤷‍♂️ The most recent software update...Oh My! It now takes 3 steps to highlight text 🤦‍♂️ Call me old fashion or a curmugion or whatever... And it's not that 3 steps is horrible (it's not good, but it not the worst UX I've experienced) It's more that what I want to do - highlight a part of a book - is interrupted with defining the first word of the section I want to highlight! So I'm asking for A, but instead Kindle is giving me B... STOP AND THINK FOR A MINUTE ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP! How many times do you ask of your team, does your team ask of you, and most critically; do you ask of yourself ONE THING but deliver another? Business people often look at contracts as a one time thing. You know, you bring on a new team member and there's an agreement. Your business needs a service from a 3rd party vendor and there's a contract... BUT...every decision you make throughout your day is in fact an agreement. You are either going to seek and deliver the thing you want, and ultimately God has for you, your business, your team, and your impact ...OR like Kindle, when you want to highlight something...you are gonna get something else that might be important, but it isn't important in that moment. And that's the crux of it all as a leader. What is it we should prioritize in the moment? Simply put, the relationship. Leadership = Relationships! --- Next time you are off track, not getting the result you desire and God has for you; I want you to: 1. Check in with God 2. Check in with yourself 3. Check in with your team After all, that is the Hierarchy of Relational Leadership: > God > Self > Family > Others So...tell me, with whom is one relationship you can strengthen today? Drop a comment or connect with me-let's lead together! #Business #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Christian #Bible #Biblestr

Boy do I hate it when I’m mid one thing, a reminder pops in my brain for another thing…then by the time I pick up my iPad 10s later…brain forgot thing 2! Oh….but I just remembered! 💡 BRB
I had a slightly comical (to me) interaction with our son this morning while he was getting ready to go to a friend’s basketball game. He said, “you know dad I know you didn’t make a lot from your hobby yesterday so maybe one thought is you could put that aside in an emergency fund for you and mom so that you have extra money if you need it.” And he follows it up with, “you know like Dave Ramsay‘s 7 baby steps.” 🤣 So I asked, “oh that’s cool you like Dave Ramsay?” And he said “yeah I really do. “And I you like learning about money?” I asked. “Yep, I really like that,” he replied. So I think the praise report as his parent is several fold. 1. We have to trust God. God is going to reach him where he is at, through whatever means God needs to. Even if that’s Dave Ramsay on TikTok. 🤣 2. I’m glad he is getting that sort of inputs so that it shifts him from consumerism to stewarding. 3. As a family we are exploring the Faith Driven Students’ “Called to Create and a different provider’s “Degree Free” we want to keep in mind that he likes learning about money and I’m assuming working with money. I wouldn’t suggest he should become a banker per se but God is possibly preparing him to steward large amounts of capital whether that’s through playing in the NBA or owning his own business or whatever God has for him. Which is to say our son is starting to show interest in things other than video games 🤪 and I for one, am grateful it’s stewarding finances.
