Be diligent.

“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule …” Proverbs 12:24(KJV)

Our opening scripture lets us know that the diligent would surely arise to leadership and authority. Your diligence is what will make someone leave your competitors and come and buy from you. Being diligent in what you do is what will make others seek for your service and prefer you above others? Diligence would give you an edge over others because you will be able to offer what they cannot offer.

As you prepare for success, you must believe in your dream and in all God has called you to do. Do not talk yourself down; neither should you talk down your business. This is because people do not just buy your product, they buy you. People buy into you first before they buy your product.
As a man or woman who is preparing for success in every area of your life, you must be a person who pays attention to details. Proverbs 27:23 says, “Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.” Paying attention to details will put you ahead.

The restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings in America began as a campus bar having no accounting records. Later, they got a woman to take over it, and this lady set up the accounting records and as soon as the accounting records were set, they began to grow better. Yet it’s amazing how most people in business do not pay attention to accounting records. In your business, do you have a book of account where you track every spending and every income? Paying attention to accounting details was one of the reasons why Buffalo Wild Wings became successful. You also must be diligent and pay attention to important details. 

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for grace for diligence in my spiritual life, in my business, in my academics, in research, and in all that has to do with me. In Jesus Name. Amen.
