With All Your Might

"... whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might..." Ecclesiastes 9:10

We have our faith, we have our families, that's all we have for sure. We are not guaranteed an income, or peace, or health. But if we have an income opportunity with health and peace today, we pursue the income opportunity with all our might today, because we don't know what tomorrow brings.

In my work, income opportunities come from clients. If we don't pursue those opportunities with all our might, they will go to someone else. It is that simple. We lost a $1,000,000 contract recently because our proposed project manager was not strong enough, did not have the right experience. We warned our leaders about this problem but we were ignored. This client has another opportunity in the near future. We will see if we learned from our mistake and put all our strength into winning it.

We pursue our business the same way. If we don't win the Customer, some one else will. They are buying our products from another store. We put all our might into winning these customers. Our might comes from our commitment, our belief, our team and company support systems. We use all our might to win the new customer.

Our strength to push on comes from our Creator and Savior who has promised us every good gift.
