Part 2: Communicating Through the Process

It is said that the key to any great relationship is communication and the same can be said for the root of a new business.  I know, you are very intelligent and there is no way that your passion can hold you back from success.  The smart however will always look to those who are wise when planning their path.

Talk to Your Family

If your family isn’t on board with you quitting your job, you won’t be successful.  Whether they are financial or personal, sacrifices will have to be made.  You may not have money to take your family out to eat or to buy designer clothes.  In all honesty, your life will change.  Working for yourself is stressful and a bigger time commitment that you can imagine.  Even when you are not “working” your mind is still racing with ideas, fears, questions.  Ask your family if they are ready for the change that will effect their lives as well as your own.

Talk to your friends

Presumably your friends know a lot about you and have a different perspective than your family will.  Take the time to seriously discuss your plans with your friends and ask them the tough questions and be willing to accept a challenging response.  Use those people in your life to gain a different perspective.

Talk to the Lord

If you are someone who does have a relationship with Lord you should be spending more time communicating here than anywhere else.  This decision will change the landscape of everything you are doing in your life and you are going to need a lot of insight.  At Marah, we would not be where we are at today with out the constant walk that we have with Jesus.  Even though we make a great deal of mistakes we always have a place to go when we need to get back on track.  Take the time to seriously consider this choice by chewing it over for a period of time with the Lord.
