Morning Discipline
The greatest habit you can develop in your life is morning discipline. From a spiritual side, Proverbs 8:17 states, “I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.” Our relationship with the Lord is elevated, and those that seek early seem to have the greatest mindset for walking with…

Standing on the Promises
One of the best ways to build wisdom in business decisions is to understand the biblical principles that God has given us for business. I started reading the book of Proverbs for each day of the month. As I read through the book, I would highlight the verse that meant the most to me in…

Finding Your “Why”—And Living It Every Day
In the fast pace of everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. We move from task to task, meeting to meeting, often without stopping to consider why we’re doing it all in the first place.

Battle For Your Mind

Saturdays
Most jobs follow a Monday-through-Friday work schedule, but historically, this hasn’t always been the case. It was once common for both men and women to work six full days a week, with Sunday reserved for rest. Saturdays can be a great opportunity to teach your children the value of hard work while helping them develop…

Support Groups
Proverbs 15:22 “Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in the multitude of counselors, they are established.” The greatest asset that any homeschool family can have is the support group of counselors around them. You may not know how to accomplish certain tasks to start or build a business, but you can seek out…

Direction
People are always seeking direction in life. When I coached a 10-year-old homeschool baseball team, I quickly realized that every player on the team wanted and needed direction at every practice and every game. The players were lost and would not know what to do. When I started giving direction on the simplest task, they…

Work Ethic
Having been involved with many projects in the U.S. and Canada. It is always rewarding to see the amazement when homeschool families work on our projects, and the work ethic that they exhibit. It is not in every family, but most homeschool families have shown a tremendous work ethic on our projects. The ability to…
