Wasting Time

Im sorry if this seems a little harsh but unfortunately I feel that it must be said. This is my warning and plea to all young leaders that are seeking to come up and have success in their ministry area.

First, if you plan on being successful at all, Proverbs 21:5 says "plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage." What does that mean? PLAN! Plan and pray and seek God for your vision, if you don't have those components down first you can forget everything else.

Second, if you must meet with other high level leaders, and actually get time with them, realize that their time is precious and valuable. Don't even think about walking into a meeting like that without questions, a plan or vision or goals. If you do then congratulations you have managed to waste the time of leader actually doing something!

Third, READ! Think about this for a moment, if you want wisdom chances are someone has compiled all the knowledge and experience and written a book about that very thing. Most likely the questions you would have asked someone in person you could have found in a book. Leaders are readers.

If you're ready to change the world, then you better be ready to change yourself!
