May business ka ba na gustong pasukin o simulan?
Sold na sold ka sa idea na yung business na sisimulan
Pero hindi pabor si misis or mister sa business na ito.
Tama ba na i-give up mo na lang ang dream business mo?
Mas susundin mo ba ang nasa puso mo o ang hiling ng iyong asawa?All the signs may be there, except for your spouse’s approval. Maaaring tama ka sa plano, pero tandaan mo na you are not a single person anymore na pwede lang magdesisyon on your own. Meron ka nang partner sa buhay na dapat kasama sa mga desisyon mo. Ang marriage ay isang partnership, tulad din ng negosyo. Kung may ka-partner ka sa negosyo, hindi mo pwedeng gamitin yung pondo ng kumpanya na walang pahintulot sa iyong partner. Kung ito ay ginawa mo na kahit ikakabuti ng kumpanya, away lang kalalabasan nito. The important thing in any relationship is AGREEMENT. Dapat magkaisa bago magpasiya. So bago mo ituloy kung ano man ang ipinaplano mo. Heto ang mga bagay na dapat mo munang gawin:ASK YOUR SPOUSE’S OPINION
Two heads are better than one. Kaya mas maganda na dalawa kayo ng asawa mo ang magbe-brainstorm about the business that you want to get in to. Huwag mo babalewalain ang kanyang opinion because most likely, binigyan ni God ng wisdom yung asawa mo. Pwedeng siya ang ginamit ni God upang i-reveal ang Kanyang plan for you.Maybe your business will be really helpful sa mga tao, but you have to understand one thing. If you pursue what you want without acknowledging your spouse’s opinion, your marriage might fall apart. Gusto mo ba na yung business mo ay natutulungan lahat ng taong nakapaligid sayo, pwera lang ikaw o ang asawa mo? Again, you should know your priorities by heart. Hindi kasi worth it na masira ang samahan ninyong mag-asawa over a successful business.
CONSIDER TIME WITH YOUR KIDS
If yung business na gusto mo ay kakainin ang time mo at mawawalan ka na ng time for your kids, hindi yun worth it. Ang mga anak mo ay hindi forever bata. At hindi mo rin sila forever na makakasama. So you should spend more time with them rather than building your business.
Remember this in our last moments here on earth, hindi ang ka-business partner natin o ang mga taong natulungan ng business mo ang maga-alaga sa atin. Kundi si God, ang asawa mo, at ang mga anak mo.
PRAY TO GOD
Dahil ang dapat na first priority mo ay si God, dapat isangguni natin ang lahat ng mga plano mo. Besides, pag magtatayo ka ng isang business ay may puhunan ka na kailangan ilabas. At sa tingin mo, kanino manggagaling yung puhunan na yun? Kay God, di ba? Ask for God’s wisdom. Ask na i-lead ka Niya sa tamang decision. Kung hindi man Niya sayo sabihin ang Kanyang sagot, pwede Siya gumamit ng ibang tao para i-reveal kung ano ang plan Niya for you.
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
It’s great that you want to enter into a business, but . . .
Have you asked your spouse’s opinion?
Have you considered time away from your kids?
Have you prayed to God?
