Dedication Page

First and foremost, I dedicate this book to God my Father, who provided every word that I have written.

I would also like to dedicate this book to my grandchildren, Anella and Eli Morton, and to all grandchildren and generations that come after them. Always remember to seek the Lord in all things, knowing that He will guide you into your purpose which is your passion. Never give up no matter how difficult it seems. This book is my testament to you of what God will do if you trust Him to guide you in His plan for your life.

Entrepreneurs should always be looking for new ways to make their business more successful. Whether it is a new brand, a new marketing launch or a new product, we must constantly look for new ways to improve our business.

This book offers a strategy to change the way you do business. It may be new to some and a new level for others. I know that it worked (and is still working for me) so I want to share it with you. It doesn’t matter what your denomination (or even if you are not religious), this strategy can work for you. Before you dismiss it as being whimsical or impractical, I challenge you to buy the book and take the time to read the daily devotions. Whether you are already a successful entrepreneur or just starting, the investment of the book is minor, and the time will be well spent. If it doesn’t work for you (which I think it will), you haven’t lost much but I am positive you will gain some valuable insight about yourself, your business, and the divine power behind it.
