Generously Manage Your Money

You CAN afford to be generous. Everyone can! It’s a simple matter of good money management. If you budget for it, it can be done.

The benefits of being generous go beyond the individual or organisation you are giving to. You get something out of it too! And it’s not just the good feeling you get inside either…

Luke 6:38

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

It is a biblical principle that if we are generous to others, we receive also, and in a way that we could never imagine! Managing your money well and being a good steward of what you have been given is what we are called to do. And if you do the right thing, you will surely be rewarded.

Be good and deliberate with your money. Manage it properly. Know where is has gone and where it will be coming from.

The challenge is out there. What can you give to help make a difference? No matter how much it is, everyone can afford to be generous!

Eliminate Waste

What do we mean by eliminating waste? Waste is any activity that adds cost or time to a process, yet fails to add value to the customer or the business.

By identifying and eliminating waste, we will also increase our productivity. Productivity is about continuously improving what we do to make things simple and easy to use, and it involves streamlining processes, reducing errors, planning ahead and being efficient in all that we do.

This is not only a business principle, it’s a life principle too. Imagine if you didn’t waste one second of your life; that everything you did was productive and had purpose. Just think about what you could accomplish!

Being highly organised helps you to eliminate waste and be more productive. Take this very simple example:

Eliminating Time Wastage

Filing – Whether this be electronic or paper filing. Make the effort to file your important documents in a logical place as soon as something comes in and then next time you need to use it you will know exactly where it is! Office and procedure processes help with keeping this level of organisation, especially if you have employees.

It doesn’t take long in the first instance, and can save you a truck load of time and stress down the track.

Eliminate the waste. Time is the only thing we can’t recycle.
