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

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

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...

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...
