Hi ,

Doesn’t a New Year just put you in a reflecting mood?

That’s where I found myself as these nuggets of wisdom from the book of Proverbs (ch. 13) came to me in my daily reading. All of these are ESV.

They are thick with guidance for both life and business.

Prov 13:11 — Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
Take Away: Persevere and know that success comes slowly, year by year. Don’t chase that big contract. Start small and be patient with progress. Celebrate small victories.
Also…book recommendation: “The Gap and the Gain”

Prov 13:12 — Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Take Away: I know you have hopes and desires, but set them aside and think of those on your team. Fulfill their hopes and desires. Bless them by knowing them and taking care of them (not just with $). Think in terms beyond yourself. Serve

Prov 13:15 — Good sense wins favor, but the way of the treacherous is their ruin.
Take Away: Compliance and knowing regulations are important. There is “good sense” in knowing the rules and following them, there is “treachery” in breaking the rules.

This especially true with government contracting, which is why I am releasing a GSA Compliance training in the next monh to support and protect my Customers in this way. Look out for that in an upcoming newsletter.

Prov 13:20 — Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Take Away: Seek wisdom…best to get it from a wise person. And spend time with people that are smart, loving, and disciplined. it will rub off on you.

I am here for you if I can help in any way…book a call to discuss GSA, Federal Sales, or anything else I can help with: https://www.gsascheduleservices.com/appointment-booking/

I look forward to talking.
