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...

It's About Time!

You are given $100; however, you cannot keep it. You have to give it away to a charity or a person. Who would you give it to and why?  This is a question that the students I was substituting for was given to journal. Almost all of the students argued that $100 was not enough money to give to anybody. "Hmmmm", I said. You can do quite a bit with $100  - - - - - -  Our Sunday School class did it with pennies! "How", the students asked. All of the Sunday school classes were informed that it doesn't take much to give to others and if they would begin to bring in pennies, we would be able to give back to those in need. The first year, they gathered enough pennies to provide a Turkey dinner and the roaster to cook it in for a family of five. In addition to providing clothing for a child at Christmas. Each year the giving of pennies grew; whereas, the giving to others in the community grew as well. So if they can do it with pennies, you can do it with $100. Wh...
