LITTLE BY LITTLE
I hope you had an incredible holiday season and that 2023 is off to a GREAT start.

This is a time when many of us set new goals and make resolutions to improve our lives—yet 80 percent of those resolutions will be abandoned by February.

To help keep you in the 20 percent, we've invited international business coach, #1 best-selling author on Amazon, and powerful conference speaker Howard Partridge to be our keynote speaker at the January relationship-building lunch next week.

Howard grew up on welfare. He started his first business out of the trunk of his car and transformed it into a multi-million dollar, turnkey enterprise. Howard's newest book, The Monday Morning Christian: How Living Out Your Faith in Business Leads to Phenomenal Success, delivers a pathway for believers to live out the purpose God has for their life.

Howard's presentation, The number one reason people don't achieve their biggest goal and what to do about it, will inspire you to realize your full potential in business and life!
Success doesn't happen overnight
How many times have we set a goal and been disappointed when we didn't see instant results? We get discouraged and we give up. But if we create a God-inspired plan and stick with it, we'll get the results we want.

Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life Church said this: "Small disciplines done consistently lead to big results over time."

When we are committed and consistent, we will see progress, little by little, just like it says in Exodus 23:30. Think about Jesus feeding the 5000God did not instantly create a massive buffet. Instead, every time someone reached into the basket, food was there. Little by little, the miracle unfolded. 

Little by little, God is doing great work in your life and business. Be obedient, stay laser-focused on your purpose, set goals, give yourself grace, look at the measuring stick you are using, and rejoice in the little successes. If your goal is a big hairy audacious oneand it should be!remember, there will be tick marks you can celebrate along the way. 

This time next year, you will likely look back and proudly say, "Look at what we accomplished!"

We can certainly see that with the Christian Chamber. We have grown to 320 members; we launched the founding member program for the US Christian Chamber; we have a new member technology platform, and so much more.

Little by little, we are staying focused on God, achieving our goals, and pressing forward.
