This is mainly dedicated to someone with a business interview but is important for any formal occasion. Basically there are certain rules that you should follow to be taken seriously.

1. Dress nicely. I’m talking ironed collard shirt and khaki pants. No shorts, stained shirts, or  pants with holes.
2. Clean up. Take a shower and shave. Don’t forget deodorant, and remember nothing ruins a interview quicker than B.O.
3. Use grammar. Don’t use  ain’t, cuz, dog, or anything like that. (But don’t use big words that you don’t know the meaning of.)
4. Appear organized have everything that you need. (Pencil and paper!)
5. Sit straight and have respect. NO gum.

With these 5 rules you can succeed.

Well if you have a business or are looking in to stock or anything like that sooner or later someone is going to say “well you’re a little young for that.”  Don’t be discouraged. It is going to happen, but be glad that your doing something that a lot of people didn’t expect you could do. Through out history a lot of famous people were between 12-17. Here our some examples. 

•  Some of the disciples were 12-17
• Most Native American tribes started their trained to be warriors at 10 
• Their was a pharaoh that ruled over all Egypt at 12
• In some 3rd world countries 13 years-old know how to use a AK-47

And their are more, if you know of any tell me. If kids like that could do some of the things up their then seeing what kind of market we’re in suddenly seams like child’s play. (no punt intended, well it kind of was) And it is the perfect reason to do your reserch and know about business that way you prove not only can you do it but you have.

The thing about business is that there intended to make money either to reinvest, make profit or to help. but before you start a business you have to ask yourself this question “Is their going to be a market?” Like opening up a shop that only sells New York stuff in Texas is not a good idea. Open up a store that will sell something the local public will want to buy. It does not matter if you like it the general public should like it to or else you wont well that much.

Before you start on your business you should answer some questions about it to know weather or not you want ot go ahead with it. Here are a few.

 1)Is it legal? .

2) Will it have wide social acceptance? 

3) Will it have a negative effect?

4) Who is your competition?

5) Does your product require existing products?

6) Will pricing be competitive?

7) Does your idea fit into a trend (if it does then this could be a bad idea if the trend short-term)

8 ) Is their a need for it? (if it does you could make a lot of money)

9) Is it a fad or does it have long-term value

10)How much will it cost to get you idea to market?

11)Does it need packaging?

12) Is it the simplest and most attractive it can be?

The important thing  about getting your name or your business name out there is to make sure people remember you. 

If you’re going to use a newspaper or an  internet site you need to keep it short and interesting and quick so the reader is not bored. The name has to be somewhat relevant to what your business is. You could also just go by your name and go by the power of your own integrity and reputation.

In your ad or logo, use  bold letters and large interesting ( but readable) fonts. Use words like new, awesome, great, best, and amazing. You want to include all of the important information; your business name, how they can contact you, what you do, and how much you cost. Doing all of these things in a short space can be challenging but very incredible important.

Making desisions  can be tricky. One way to help you make decisions is a T chart to weigh the pro’s and con’s. Pro’s are advantages of a situation and con’s are the disadvantages of a given situation. For example – say you were looking at a certain way of advertising your new business in the newspaper, you could use the T chart method to help you list the positives and the negatives of this method of advertising. The ultimate goal is having in black and white all of the positives and negatives in a situation. If the pro’s outnumber the cons it could be a good descision. If the con’s outweight the pro’s it could blow up in your face

A pro is something that will benefit you, anything positive that is associated with a decision or a choice. A con is the opposite, the negatives, draw backs.

Divide a paper in half, on one half list all of the positives ex.

 lots of people see it

 make your business look more legitimate

 reach a new clients

 On the other half of the paper, list all of the negatives ex.

 lots of useless phone calls associated with your ad

costs money gives competitors an idea of where you stand

 You continue listing all of your ideas on the subject, you could even ask trusted people their opinion and list that too.

Be careful – because you could have one extremely good pro that will outweigh a few little cons. Somethings are just worth a risk.

A lot of people follow Christ and a lot of people have businesses, but unfortunately, many people separate work from faith. They pray and follow the rules but they don’t take the advice the bible gives them about business. Yeah,  the bible has financial advice!  Over 250 verses of the bible  talk about money and over half of Jesus’s  parables talk about money. If God the all knowing wrote us advice,  shouldn’t we take it? 

 Look at Chick-Fil-a, their entire business plan is based around the biblical teaching. Thats why they are never open on Sundays. Look at how popular they are,  all because they followed the bible business advise. Want more? Look at Hobby-Lobby. You can not say they aren’t successful.

If you find any more business ran by Christian advice please tell me.
