The value of a woman

by

Value Flower

Know your value and do not settle for less

Count your intrinsic assets and be impressed with yourself

Being tired is secondary to fulfilled mission

Intangible are your ways, Tangible are your benefits. They can be felt from afar.

Beauty in your voice, melodies to he who is blessed with your presence.

Skin so smooth no one dares touch it. Frustration: skin is smooth for the expressed purpose of contact. Maybe it is smooth just for you. How valuable are you?

You long to show your brilliance but you already demonstrate it daily,

You are watched so much you do not recognize the admirers. Look up your Father is watching. Look up so are His sons.

Time adds to your value

Smiling eyes greet the dawn and shimmer like stars on a crystal clear night, how valuable is that?

Your smile is as stunning as the day we first met. Perfection is saved for beholder. For whom do you smile?

Price is what someone will pay for you

Value is the goodness people receive from knowing you

How does God quantify value?

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Proverbs 8:17-19
Do you see him soaking up your images? Ever present Guardian, Fearless husband. Where does one find that?

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Proverbs 18: 21-22

Happiest Birthday

by

God blessed me with another year on the earth and the celebration was spectacular. Not the usual party streamers and balloon party but the kind where the whole day works out for the good. The morning started bright and early with a call from my lovely mother. Without her there would be no happy years. I worked only minimal amounts during the day. The majority of the day was spent with my lovely wife. The presents were perfectly tailored for my tastes. My children blessed me with a home-made cake, my favorite pineapple upside-down cake. I was able to take 2 naps that made me feel wealthy beyond measure. I ended the night with my scouts and lots of fun and games. Many of my friends on social media reached out and contacted me which made my heart warm. There were even two or three that reached out to me personally. The human voice is still amazing. May your days be happy. Thank you god for a wonderful day. Leadership advice: Enjoy the special Days.

Correction is Perfection

by

Correction is perfection: Leadership lesson or good motto for life?  This is a statement my son, William V, blurted out while we were at the store.  He said that it came to him and he felt like saying it.

Proverbs 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way and he that hateth reproof shall die.

I know you Bible scholars were thinking of the “rod of correction” scripture referencing children. This was deeper than that, he was speaking about having a more perfect walk with God. I tell him sometimes, : I am not correcting you because you are wrong but so that you know a better way.”  God tells us His Children the same thing,

Job 5:17

17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty

If God is coming back for a perfect church,then we all need to get ready for a lot of correction. When things are not going your way maybe you are just receiving correction. Thank the Lord that you learn the lesson fast so that you can walk in His perfection

Ecclesiastes 7:8

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Remember the little saying, “Correction is Perfection” and say it when you begin to think the question, “Lord, why me?”

What kind of correction are you receiving from the Lord?

Sales: Beat the Bushes

by

Man with Wings by Photo_MindDo you want to Soar with the Eagles? 

Most people say they do not like sales especially cold calls. You have to Beat the Bushes for sales if you want to be a champion. Cold calls are challenging  because you have overcome fear of immediate rejection. Remember when you acquired the job you have. Remember the courage it took to apply and the confidence it took to land the position. This is confidence you should use to Beat the Bushes for your success.

I was talking to Jason, a great friend of mine and he is a wonderful financial adviser. He had just read an article about cold calling and was so excited about meeting new clients that he customized his opening pitch to fit my business. It went something like this:

Hello Mr. Customer, how are you today?

Customer says, “I’m well”

Wonderful, I would like to speak with you about increasing efficiency in your production packaging and waste streams.  When would be a good time to meet and discuss the possibilities?

Customer says, “I am really busy right now.”

Oh, I understand that is why I am willing to meet you at your convenience.   Which is better for you Tuesday afternoon or Friday morning?

Customer says, “I am just not interested.”

Maybe I can meet you on the way to your car from work and to give you an opportunity to put a face with a voice.

Really there is nothing hard about this approach.  Just keep selling you and your products and services. This is a good approach for finding a job, starting a business or even getting into the school of your choice. So the next time you need something, think like a salesman. Up your sales: Beat the Bushes.

I even re-branded my email to sales@spencerwood.net Adjustments are necessary if you want to soar like an Eagle.
