In simple terms, you can say that wisdom is the application of knowledge. It’s not enough to acquire knowledge; you also need to be able to apply it. Anyone who acquires knowledge without using it is a fool.
So, you can see that being wise is a function of the decisions you make. To be considered a wise person, you need to continually learn, practice the things you learn, and you will get positive results.
In this post, I will be sharing some reasons with you why you need to prioritize gaining wisdom.
Wisdom is more important than riches.
Wisdom is more profitable than riches in the long run. Wisdom can generate riches for you easily. Even when you’ve lost all your funds, wisdom can help you regain all that you’ve lost. Riches can fly away due to unforeseen circumstances. A business owner can lose his funds and business due to unfavorable government policies or due to a fire. Wisdom is something you have within you, and no one can take it from you.
In the biblical account, King David decided to conduct a census of Israel and Judah, which was viewed as an act of pride and a lack of trust in God. Joab,
David’s commander, advised against it, but David insisted. After the census, God was displeased with David’s action.
As punishment, God offered David a choice of three consequences: three years of famine, three months of fleeing from enemies, or three days of plague.
David chose the plague, resulting in the death of 70,000 Israelites. Ultimately, David repented, and God commanded him to build an altar to stop the plague, which he did, demonstrating both the gravity of his sin and God’s mercy.
Our post for today was inspired by the story of David in the Bible summarised above.

If you want to be successful and remain successful, you need to prioritize the important things that matter because those are what count in the end.

You may end up doing tasks that are important to them just to gain their approval, rather than focusing on what truly matters to you.

Improving cash flow is a top priority for any startup. Cash flow—essentially the movement of money in and out of your business—is the lifeblood that keeps your operations running smoothly. Yet, for many startups, managing cash flow can be one of the most challenging aspects of running a business. If you’re not careful, cash flow problems can quickly escalate and threaten the survival of your startup. But don’t worry! In this post, we’ll dive into practical tips and strategies that can help you improve cash flow in your startup, all in a way that’s easy to understand and implement. Let’s get started!
Understanding Cash Flow: The Basics
Before we get into the strategies, let’s start with a quick overview of what cash flow is and why it’s so important.
Cash Flow refers to the net amount of cash that is moving into and out of your business at any given time. There are two main components:
Cash Inflows: This includes all the money coming into your business, such as sales revenue, investments, or loans.
Cash Outflows: This covers all the money going out, like paying salaries, rent, suppliers, and other operational costs.
Positive cash flow means you have more money coming in than going out, which is ideal. Negative cash flow, on the other hand, indicates that more money is leaving your business than is coming in, which can lead to financial stress if not managed properly.
One of the most effective ways to improve your startup’s cash flow is by creating a cash flow forecast. Think of it as a roadmap for your business’s finances.
What Is a Cash Flow Forecast? A cash flow forecast is an estimate of your business’s cash inflows and outflows over a certain period, usually on a monthly basis. It helps you anticipate potential cash shortages or surpluses, allowing you to make informed decisions.
How to Create a Cash Flow Forecast:
List Your Income Sources: Identify all the potential income sources, such as sales, investments, or loans. Estimate how much money you expect to receive each month.
Estimate Your Expenses: List all your expected expenses, including rent, salaries, utilities, marketing, and inventory costs.
I know we’ve all heard of the saying that work hard, play hard that it is the way to a successful life.
Well, that is correct but it has its limitations because the life we live in is first of all spiritual before it’s physical.
It’s good to work hard and play hard but it only addresses the physical aspect of life.
If you want to live a life of Victory from the supernatural angle of life, you need to start with prayer. This is why the topic of our post is Pray Hard and Work Hard.
Another way you can say it is to pray like you will never need to work and work like you will never need prayer.
If you can live like this, you will definitely succeed in life.
In this post, I will be writing about how you can develop your prayer life and how you can work hard to get effective results.
Being successful in life is a choice. We are where we are today mostly as a result of the choices we made yesterday. If you achieve success fast, it is as a result of the choices you’ve made in the past if you success is slow it is also as a result of your past decisions.
There are things that you can do in life that can help you achieve success fast. I will be showing you one of the keys of achieving success fast in this post.
Before we proceed any further, let me remind you that success has different definition. You cannot generalize the word success for everybody because success means diffent things to different people,
You need to define what success means to you, ultimately success means advancing in an area of different areas of life.
Normally, we go through tough and challenging times in life. Well, tough times are part of life, so you need to be able to navigate them and come out stronger.
One of the reasons why we are faced with tough times is to be able to achieve success faster in life.
Most people feel good in their comfort zone until something pushes them to the extraordinary.
It is normal for you to feel weak when times are tough. It is normal for you to feel tired when times are tough but that shouldn’t be your final response.
I have heard stories of people who committed suicide because of challenges they are facing, that might sound odd to you but the truth is that when people don’t have the strength to carry on,
Do you know that it is possible to be successful without being corrupt? A wrong mindset has been sold to people that they need to get dirty and wicked to be successful.
Those who sell these lies to people believe that success is all about making money and being rich. People like these can sacrifice many good things (good name, good health, healthy relationships, people’s lives) to make more money.
People who have the mindset of making money irrespective of how they get it are never satisfied. something feels missing in their lives no matter the amount of money they have.
If you have all the money in the world but you don’t have good health and a lovely family to enjoy with you then something is missing.
I am not against the mindset of getting more money, in short making more money helps you achieve your vision faster but it should be done in the right way.
There is a right way to do things and there is also a wrong way to do things.
Helping people by offering services and solutions to them is the right way to make more money.
Hurting people and doing illegal activities is a bad way to make more money.
