Visionary Thinking Seminars
Operating From A Higher Place Of Grace
Who I Am, What I See, And Knowing God Is The One Who Took Me There!
Einstein; “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”
As a Business Consultant, I bring a reputation of success for over 35 years as a Kingdom Entrepreneur. My success pales in comparison to "The Miraculous" I've witnessed in my business. Vision became my Creative Lifeline and a Strategic Nightmare for competitors.
Einstein; “I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.”
"God is Bigger Than the Box People Put Him In"; I see it daily from Executives. I don't put God in a box, He shows me what others miss and I instinctively know how to correct the problem; it is always systemic. If you aren't operating in "The Miraculous of The Holy Spirit, you will forever be lost in the sea of average.
Thinking Above The Noise
Einstein; “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.”
With no money or source of income, I began my first company in 1990 at 31. I don't know if I was insane, but my mind was never so clear; having a job was going "no where"; a business was the only option. But to my wife and the rest of the world it was absurd; it was time to accomplish that which everyone said was impossible. I discovered it was "God's Presence" that drew customers to me, yet I barely knew Him; 3 months later I was saved on a treatment bed on June 1st, 1990. If God was for me, who could come against me?
The Lord gave me an eye for detail as I was making my way into the business world. But that strength became my greatest weakness as an owner. I began to see everything up to 2 years before it happened. I surrounded myself with people who could run the operations of the business so I could focus on growth. Humility understands there is always someone better standing next to you!
Finding Vision Through God's Eyes
Einstein; “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”
People ask me, what was my greatest achievement in business? Helping someone reach a goal they never dreamed possible. I spotted people of character a mile away. These were the future leaders of our companies. I never looked at education, pedigree, or where you've been. I look at character not talent! If a person does anything with excellence, and it comes easy, I know your "gift".
Einstein; “The only source of knowledge is experience.”
In order to be Enterprising, you can't sweat the small stuff. Focus on Corporate Culture and Kingdom Business Principles; the foundation of a company's true value. I have built credibility across the USA by the grace of God, nothing was in my strength. When things became impossible, I leaned into God and found something you can't buy; a "Reputation" of Honor and Goodwill by Grace.
Operating In The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit
Vision: Financial & Economic Analysis
Einstein; “Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.”
A "Visionary" within The Lord's Purpose, has the ability to SEE beyond what is known. Having "Purpose" pursues the unimaginable. I understood Einstein's view on academics; "Education can't solve problems with theory. The mind of HOLY curiosity forms the questions, and The Spirit answers with creativity and an imagination full of solutions." If you are able to SEE behind the numbers, you'll find VALUE beyond the numbers!
Accounting is a structure, Economics is a puzzle, but Finance is an Art. The 1st is Statistical, the 2nd is Hypothetical, but the 3rd is Analytical! Understand the terms or get lost in their meaning, Finance ALWAYS determines the success or failure of a business! I founded my 2nd company with the employees and assets I acquired from a company that went bankrupt in 18 months. They had plenty of sales no financial direction. My bank fully funded the purchase based on my new financial blueprint.
The Law Of Man Serves The Justice Of God
Romans 13: 1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
God makes it clear He appointed governing authorities over us and we are subject to them. Man's justice does not always follow what we believe is right. The soldiers who nailed "Jesus to the Cross" was meant for evil, but our redemption was a result of that injustice.
Part of my job was to prevent our company from contract disputes or litigation on the front end, to prevent losing everything on the back end. My contracts have never been breached in 35 years. I love the law and have re-written contracts drafted by attorneys; taking out language exposing us and adding language to our advantage.
I am well researched and prepared to challenge arguments the opposition presents. I recommend every entrepreneur research the law to find precedent and prepare for factual litigation. In fact, a consultant can prepare litigation for anyone who retains them as their consultant. They can't represent you in court but can advise your attorney. Trials are costly & too unpredictable to in court.
Motivational Speaker, Teacher and Mentor
Einstein; “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
I started gaining recognition among business leaders, and editorial commentators, after I wrote a lengthy article on LinkedIn in 2015 titled "Integrity, The World Is Watching". The article called into question the unethical practices pervasive in many Large Corporate Cultures. Bold statements tend to grab people's attention!
I was asked by the Business Department of the University of Wisconsin to address the student body regarding the article and other topics from entrepreneurship to finance. I have also also given presentations to Financial Institutions regarding economic forecasts. You must add VALUE by giving others counter measure logistics. The goal is to awaken the mind, foster ideas, and serve to remind; the "bottom-line" is the harshest judge of success.
