Are you working alone and struggling?

Scripture: But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up (Ecclesiastes 4:10).

Today’s Thought: When we’re running our own show, it can feel like we’ve hit a stone wall when problems arise. When you get knocked down, you need other people who will pick you up and get you back on the road to success.

If you’re a sole proprietor, or simply work in a place where there’s not much interaction with like-minded individuals, gather a group of fellow businesspeople for prayer and mutual support. A good support group is a safe place to share your problems and concerns, discuss key decisions, and find encouragement.

Surrounding yourself with experienced businesspeople will help you keep a balanced perspective toward your work. When you’re down, others will pick you up, and when they stumble, you will be there to lend a helping hand. Band together and watch as everyone’s work improves.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you alone will bear it (Proverbs 9:12).

When you get knocked down, you need other people who will pick you up and get you back on the road to success.
