Posted on August 18, 2011 by Becky Harmon, One of Thousands of Christian Coaches on Noomii.
A couple key strategies on what can help you build and keep success long-term.
Want to build a BOLD IDENTITY? Then you are going to have to be willing to be teachable. In other words, we should never arrive knowledge-wise, well, until you ARRIVE eternally. This means, ideally we should be willing to receive correction personally and in our businesses/ministries at any time.
Now, this very thought could be a little unsettling for you. But, if you are a person of faith, it should be bring you the warm fuzzies. Why? Because that means you are building real, HEALTHY authentic relationships. The kind that will bring you more peace, more joy, more grace and yes, even financial stability. (If you can overcome the fear of rejection and build mental toughness:)
The Bible says in Proverbs 27:6 “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful”. Whose a real friend? Most of the time, it’s the people that will tell you what no one else will. Here’s the truth, the best way to grow your passion, your provision and advance the kingdom of God at the same time is to grow in spirit, soul and body (all at the same time)Wanna know how the “world” knows you are a “real” Christian? You model humility, teaming and unity.
“Let me be one with my brothers and sisters so that the world may believe I have been sent”. John 17:21.
The more you are able to carry all of these consistently, the more effective you will be as disciple and as a leader. The best way to sabotage yourself is to “know everything” and never learn anything new. If you are not willing to get out of your comfort level relationally, technologically, spiritually, physically you will not only stop growing but you will begin to lose the ground you have taken already.
There are three strategies you can use to keep yourself in “Mach Speed” growth mode building a BOLD IDENTITY.
Never compromise the presence of God in your life and the time you spend with him praying and declaring the scriptures. Don’t pass over invitations to learn a new skill whether they come from your spouse, your friends or your business/ministry partners. NEVER say, “Well, that’s not me”. When you are confronted relationally, listen and then whether you agree or disagree, ask for forgiveness and then look for a way to change and learn from the incident. You don’t have agree with someone’s position to make them feel heard. This one principle can be life changing in your personal life and in growing your vision. Ask God to today to help you grow the mental toughness you need that can help you profit relationally and financially so you can always have an overflow to give to people whether it is a prayer, talent or resource you have.
