Buying a House or Starting a Business First?

Questions that often arise in the heart and sometimes can not be disclosed is about "Buying a House or Starting a Business First?"

Appeared in the book of Proverbs, there is an explanation of this problem:
"[Put first things first.] Prepare your work outside and get it ready for yourself in the field; and afterward build your house and establish a home. "

Unfortunately, I learned this quiet expensive enough.
In 1997, after well-established enough, I bought a house in the area of Tangerang.
And in 1998, the monetary crisis occurred and the bank guarantee liquidated.
Finally, I lose my house.
But that time my friend working in another private bank, and he offers to invest in U.S. dollars. (Imagine my total money while 15 thousand for a dollars from only 2 thousands)

God explains to develop your business first, not the building the house.
I finally married without having a house alias contractors (leasing a home).
But since then, I learned to develop my business.
What needs to be developed first before starting the business?
Develop your self .... Develop your strength.
There are 5 strenghts that I learned before starting the business:
1. Position strength
2. The strength of knowledge
3. Strength Duty
4. Strength of Relationships
5. Personality Strengths

For the strength of knowledge, I take English courses, because I feel I lack in communicating in English. For anything else, I learned in the most organized in the church. (such as Leadership Training from John Maxwell, etc).

Finally I succeeded in entering foreign companies listed in the Fortune 500.

Stories about our business, starting at home, my wife started a cosmetics business in the home by opening a kiosk in Indomaret and Omi. This ability to grow business.
After the successful and the time that we had to move house, our business is to provide our adjuvant.

Then in the new house, we start the KB and TK Happy Holy Kids in Graha Raya.

If You Must Choose .......

Life is choices. If you must choose ... Choose a good name rather than great wealth.

Pastor from Taiwan declared his wonder regarding my friend who
is working in Taiwan, "You give your ATM (debit card) to Budi, don’t you?", the ATM
he mentioned about is all salary my friend has received when he is working there. "Do you handed all your money to him?"

My friend said, "For him, the money is not comparable with good name he has."

Choose a good name rather than the great wealth, unfortunately, tendency of the human heart is to choose a great wealth rather than a good name.

Living in wisdom is prefer choosing the good name.
In a meeting in which I became the speaker, I challenged to choose between a long age, wealth, or health.

There are some people select long age, I replied, but living in poverty and illness
Select a prosperity, but only live until thirties? So which must be selected?
Choose GOOD NAME, and those will come automatically.
If you have chosen the good name but have not gotten it all,
let's discuss this in ProverbClub@yahoogroups.com.

I remembered when I was 17, I knew the book of Proverbs, and since then, I fell in love with this book, every day I read the book in accordance with the date of that day (there is 31 chapters in Proverbs). Indeed, when I started, I was not getting all the promised, but after diging in depth with it, it appeared that there are
many tips and tricks that are interconnected with each other in this book that need to be practiced to obtain the results.
So, I wait for you at the Proverbs Club.

Wise Regards,
