It gives you the tools to start, manage, grow and protect your new business. Business with a Purpose is actually two volumes in one. Volume 1 is \"Starting and Operating Your New Business.\" Volume 2 is \"Building Your New Business and Keeping Track of It.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBusiness with a Purpose goes beyond the typical \"how-to\" guide or \"God wants you to be in business and be successful\" theme. It helps you, as an aspiring entrepreneur, to do a self evaluation and then helps you hone your creativity and shows you how to use it strategically in business. The overall theme of Business with a Purpose is to build on the three T's (time, talent and treasures) that God gave you through creativity, good management, and minimizing risk. There are a number of guerilla business building techniques explored that will add to your business building and management tool box. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBusiness with a Purpose is based on these three simple principles: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou have to get out of the boat before you can walk on water. God will be there to help you when the economic seas are calm and when they are stormy.

This same faith will serve as your foundation for moving into the unfamiliar waters of entrepreneurship and succeeding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you have the desire to start your business and you have God as your partner then all you need is the proper \"business tool box\" to start your business. Business with a Purpose is that tool box. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany people want to start a business but don't know where to start and they feel the odds are against them. There is also a widely held perception that it is almost impossible to be a good Christian and a successful businessperson. This could not be further from the truth. There are many examples of good Christian businessmen in the Bible, and there are many examples of contemporary businessmen that are Christians. The Bible is also very rich with principles and insights on how to build and conduct a successful God centered business. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBusiness with a Purpose has thirteen information packed chapters: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOverview of Small Business in America\u003cbr\u003eSome Basic Christian Principles for Business\u003cbr\u003eRelevant Thoughts form Great Minds\u003cbr\u003eDo You Really Want to be an Entrepreneur?\u003cbr\u003eWhat Business Do You want to Start? \u003cbr\u003eThe Business Plan and Operating Your business\u003cbr\u003eForming Your Business\u003cbr\u003eFinancing Your Business\u003cbr\u003eKeeping Track of Your Business\u003cbr\u003eCreative Thinking in Business\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Your Business\u003cbr\u003eRisk Management\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781432735654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 1.24d","brand":"Darrell Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51817779134645,"sku":"9781432735654","price":49.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_49b5dd77-46f3-402a-b414-5c8fef15a5cb.jpg?v=1759241710","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/business-with-a-purpose-starting-building-managing-and-protecting-your-new-business-9781432735654","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
