Final Sandwich is . . . . . . . . .

Final Sandwich being served is - Preparation and guidance for building a sound profession.

So you want to open a business. Let's say you would like to open a restaurant. Well the first and most important plan of action before you do anything else is prayer! If your plan is not in line with God's plan, then your business will fail ~ no matter what you do!




Once you know in your heart God is giving you His blessings, you want to prepare a business plan. I will briefly outline a basic business plan; whereas, there will be more or less information that will need to be included, depending on the restaurant.




1. Executive Summary - This will actually be like a conclusion that will be a summary of what your plan is and how you will carry it out.

2. Company Summary - You will describe (in detail) who you are and what you do. For example: The state your company will be established in, the owner and operator, the date you opened, and statistics of sales and how you have grown from the beginning and how you intend to increase the business.

3. Products and Services This will be where you list your service/product you are offering.

4.  Market Analysis Summary - Explain the type of business you are opening and how you will target the customers you want to serve. You will need to know your competition and what you will offer different from them that will make you stand out.

5. Strategy and Implementation Summary - This is a two section summary. The first section will be your strategy. What do you do better than the competition and describe how you will attract your customers (flyers, advertisement, word of mouth, networking, social media, etc.)
The second part will detail your strategy to maintain a business that will keep customers coming back. In addition, detail the responsibilities of management along with dates and budgets you can monitor to compare and contrast your busiest days and your slowest days.

6. Management Summary - You will detail the important members who will run the business and include a resume of their history in that area, so it will give the financial advisers a peace of mind to know you have qualified and quality employees for the business to succeed. 

7. Financial Plan - This is the most lengthy part of your business plan because it will include profit and loss statements, projected financial statements of the next 3 to 5 years of business, and cash flow tables


Again this is a basic business plan that only briefly describes the information needed so once it's on paper, you will know (in theory) if you will be successful.



The start up cost of your business will be included in your financial summary that includes lawyer fees and accountant fees; however, some additional fees will arise that are unexpected ~ so allow for a contingency account for that purpose.

Remember ~  to hire people you know are professional themselves and will guide you every step of the way!

Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. Psalm 127:1 AMP

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

Abiding in the Vine!

I am the vine you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5 NIV).   I do not own the rights to this photo  In the natural you are not able to change anyone who has an addiction. The worst thing we can do is to constantly talk about it to others. Satan I do not own the rights to this photo  has a stronghold on their thinking. Give it to God and let Him, in His power, restore your loved ones; and do not talk about it again. Once you pray, you are saying, God I am giving you permission to take care of my loved one~ and you are putting your Trust in God to do what only He can do anyway!  So get on your knees and pray and do not speak of what your loved one is going through anymore, but speak of what God is doing in their lives and how He is changing them from Glory to Glory!   And Don’t forget to “Thank Him”! In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree ...
