in today's world, business and life are accelerating at a rapid rate. Can we as Christian Entrepreneurs benefit from personal development? Or do just simply rely on God for "everything?" There are multiple benefits for Christian Entrepreneurs to develop continuously and better ourselves.  Throughout scripture, God allows and even waits for man to act.  For example, God asked Adam to name the animals.  It's not as if God got tired or couldn't come up with names; rather, God wanted man to act and partner with God. In the same way, we are to act to "work out our own salvation" we are told Philippians 2:12.  And throughout scripture, we see the men and women of God working. We have to keep moving forward.  Personal development starts with Self awareness - designing the life  you are meant to have.  What are your gifts?  What are you good at? Through personal development, we can gain a sense of direction. We all need a tune-up from time to time.  We may have blind spots that we have either developed unknowingly or that were never addressed.   It can be a time to refresh and renew.  Personal development can also be rocket fuel that boosts you into the next level.  Maybe you hit a plateau. You need a break-through!  Don't forget that developing yourself can improve focus and effectiveness in your work.  We are distracted constantly.  There is so much noise in the marketplace.  But the proper information can put us on track to a single focus so we can move forward with our work. When we invest in ourselves with updated information, we can increase our resilience.  Storms will come.  Can we withstand the winds of change? We need to develop our adaptive muscles also.  The ability to ADAPT to evolving situations is a skill, and an art.   Finally, when we develop others we can develop others.  We can pay it forward; mixing your experience with learning, which is wisdom that can be priceless.
