"Entrepreneurial Thinking" was created to provide personal experiential advisory and rich information resources to entrepreneurial executives in order help open their minds, enhance their vision and extend personal perspective. Further, we will try to help navigate the evolution of the entrepreneur's businesses in the areas of equity/debt financing, M&A, strategic planning, new product or business model development, market timing and related sales/marketing efforts. Finally, we will also attempt to provide some wisdom in order to help balance the entrepreneurial workload with family.

Entrepreneurial Prayer

With the pressures of being a consummate serial entrepreneur trying to balance very extensive work hours with family, I begin each day with prayer and some quite meditation. It is personally critical for me in order to prepare myself for the day. With all the projects in which I am currently involved, prayer keeps me centered and gives me the strength and resilience to calmly deal with any problematic issues that may arise. I also recommend prayer and positively reinforced thinking about the blessing of having your family while driving home. It allows you to shed the stress and velocity you may have built up during the day so you bring a calm into your home. I hope the following prayer from the CEO Ministry helps...

God Bless,

Tom

Dear Lord,

T
oday I ask You to please give me wisdom in all my decisions,
knowledge in all my transactions, and understanding in all
my dealings as they pertain to my business. Keep me, God,
from being deceived into illegal transactions, and I set
my heart to walk to integrity, no matter what monetary
potential is available. I know the only way I can be a
prosperous business owner is to remain pure in my motives
and conduct my business according to your Word.
I commit myself to do that now, Lord.

Help me to turn away from all temptations to climb the ladder
of success by stepping on other as I go up. I pray that
I never become so engulfed with my work that I forget my
primary purpose in You – to minister to those around me.
I thank You for Your supernatural strength working in me
that overcomes all stress and anxiety.

Finally, I thank You, God, for blessing my business. I know
that as I put You first in every area of my life, as well
as my profession, You and I stand in a covenant relationship
together. Because You and I are partners, I expect the
windows of opportunity to open up to my business and Your
great blessings break forth in my life. Then I can and
will bless others and give toward the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.

Thank you for helping me see this great truth!

In Jesus name...Amen.

Tom,
Wow, you hit it spot on with the prayer! I have often wondered where America could be if the creative thinking that we invest into swindling, deception and thievery, were diverted to productive processes. Im going to email your prayer to a few of my friends that become distracted by the noise from time to time and print it out and post to my desk. b-crow.
