The Way Our Country Got Into This $700 Billion Dollar Mess Is Not The Way We’ll Get Out Of It!
The Rules Have Changed!
How Will Your Business Survive?

What’s happening on Wall Street is not isolated…

It’s a reflection of the way we as Americans have run our businesses and our lives. The jig’s up. Sure, most of us have not stooped to the levels of corruption and deception now being investigated by the FBI in companies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and Lehman Brothers. But too many of us are over extended, weighted down by debt and a slave to a system that is crumbling around us. We are in financial debt, time debt, email debt, relationship debt and the list goes on and on.

But what if God had a business model that could change all that?

Rainforest Strategy is a revolutionary way of approaching life and business that will put you on the fast track to regaining control of your time, your money and your life. Listen. The rainforest is a system… the most productive, diverse and fruitful ecosystem on the planet – despite having limited capital (topsoil) to work with. How it produces so much abundance from relative scarcity – all at the speed of peace – is what every business person needs to know!

According to Zig Ziglar, “business leaders at all levels can benefit from Rainforest Strategy. Following the strategies contained in this book will allow you to function in a zone where you are no longer the slave, but the master. Where you can acquire products or services of high value without cash and without bartering.

Inside this book you will also discover:
•    The single most important thing that powers the rainforest and helped Wes Cantrell, a Christian service tech go from the shop floor to the top floor to become CEO of Lanier Worldwide, growing it to a $1.5 billion company!
•    The secret every leaf in the rainforest is governed by that will allow you to produce wealth quietly and consistently while maintaining a state of peace.  Without that secret you will always wonder why your growth is limited, why you keep hitting an invisible barrier and why you never reach your goals.
•    The unseen predator that can destroy you and your business when you are most vulnerable and how you can protect yourself from that predator whenever it comes.

Paul tells us in Romans that the hidden things of God are revealed in the created order, that His wisdom and character are embedded in the things He made. Even Solomon understood this and maintained a zoo and spectacular gardens to learn how God does things. Find out why Solomon said, “ it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter” and check out this incredible new book from Michael Q. Pink

Rainforest Strategy is on sale now for only $14.95 as an E-Book or $21.95 as a hardback book. Includes a FREE BONUS gift valued at $47! Click here for details.

Unseen Riches Produce Tangible Riches

January 18th, 2008

“Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the armor of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron: And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.” (Isa 45:1-3)

Did you know that God has riches hidden in secret places? And these are riches He is eager for you to possess. Am I saying that God wants you rich? I don’t know what God wants for you with respect to tangible riches. I don’t know your character, your calling or your capabilities. What I do know is that there are great riches hidden in secret places and the kind of riches I am speaking of cannot be seen with the eye.

Take for example the rainforest. People with limited vision see only with their natural eye and cut it down to obtain temporal, tangible riches. They sell the timber and create pasture land for cows. But people with great vision who have spent time in the secret place of God know that God made the systems that make the rainforest the most productive and fruitful system on the planet producing tremendous abundance out of relative scarcity.

In spending time with the Father, they learn the systems. They discover the ways of God. They obtain great wealth of wisdom as they inherit His heart for the created order and in the process they can be trusted with the power that wisdom gives them. It is the unseen riches that produce the visible riches. Most folks chase the visible, corruptible, temporal riches. Wise ones chase the unseen eternal riches and in apprehending them, have everything else they need.

12 Biblical Laws of Wealth Creation

December 5th, 2007

Today is the last in our series of entries from our special guest, John Muratori. Read through to the end to find out how you can hear more from John…

12 Biblical Laws of Wealth Creation

Like the law of gravity, The Twelve Biblical Laws of Wealth Creation just exist. They are the most universal set of directives on prosperity — trans-cultural, trans-generational, not bound by economics. Regardless of your age, environment, or financial situation, these 12 laws will stop the lack and shape your financial destiny. While I did not make up these 12 laws, I did spend a lifetime discovering them. It has been a journey of difficulty, trial, success and failure.

In “Rich Church Poor Church,” I devote a full one-third of my book to the study of these 12 laws. There isn’t space here for even an executive summary so I will share with you just one law — the most critical to your future wealth and well-being. It is the Law of the Brand. It is the foundation on which the other eleven laws are firmly established. It’s also the linchpin that holds them all together.

Businesspeople will recognize the brand as a company name or product name. Corporations spend millions of dollars defining themselves through their names, symbols and identities, then even more keeping that brand name in front of the public.

Your name is your brand and you should give priority to establishing a good name for yourself. Most people will never get to know you intimately, so your character is only known by the name and reputation that precedes you.

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.” (Proverbs 22:1 KJV)

A good name carries with it a high perceived value. If you have a reputation of honesty and integrity, you’ll find more doors opened to you, more acceptance into circles of influence and more resources given to you. If you have a reputation of getting the job done, of cutting costs or producing wealth, you are worth more in compensation to an employer or client. But it’s not just about business.

Your family relations weigh heavily on your good name. Do you keep the promises you make with your spouse and children? Or do you repeatedly miss that little league game, the piano recital or the chance to just hang out together? When our names no longer symbolize integrity and justice, businesspeople will no longer trust us with their resources and family members will no longer trust us with the secrets in their hearts.

“…[Jesus] increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52)

Even in his youth, Jesus had a good name before many. Ultimately, the religious and political establishments would come to despise that name as many do to this day. But to the hurting, sick, and needy, His name is matchless in its ability to bring comfort and hope. What does your name say about you?

What Level Are You Operating On?

September 23rd, 2007

The Tabernacle of Moses reveals three distinct levels of Christian living and those three levels are easily relatable to business. Cooperating with them and knowing how to flow with each level will dramatically impact your business.

The Outer Court is Level 1 and is about practices. It is the place where character and competence are formed. It is the place of preparation. It’s about functioning based on what you see, what you observe, what you can grasp based on your own acquired skills. I call it the place of the 30-fold increase. We have spoken a lot lately about outer court concepts. They include processes, systems, common sense practices and they are essential. Most people never progress past this level.

The Inner Court is Level 2 and is about principles. It is the place of strategy, where God opens His Word and by His Spirit reveals His Way of doing things. These are not natural strategies deduced with natural wisdom, but rather God inspired strategies derived from Godly wisdom. (See James 3:17 for details). Think 60-fold increase.

The Holy of Holies is the third level. It is about the POWER of God working on your behalf to accomplish what you could never do on your own, with any amount of wisdom. Accessing this power is possible, but it is not a game, nor is it something to be taken lightly. Think 100-fold increase. We need to operate on all three levels. Stay tuned as we develop this a little further during the week.

By the way, in case you missed it, we have offered the CDs of our seven-hour teaching with PowerPoint on this subject for FREE to the first 500 folks who download the series called, The RainCatcher’s Secret: 7 Ancient Paths to Wealth, Wisdom and the Wonder of God. Beat the rush. On Friday that offer goes out to hundreds of thousands of folks. Click here for details.

God’s Wisdom Can Be Seen in His Creation

July 19th, 2006

We’ve begun to consider What the 7 Days of Creation Teach us about Business and to lay a foundation for this study. Consider this: “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and deity.” (Rom 1:20)

Do you get that? Paul says that we can learn a lot about God, His nature and His power by simply studying the things He made. If you want to learn about a carpenter, look at some of the cabinets or furniture he has made and you will learn much about his capability, character, commitment to quality, etc. The same is true with God… Look at His heavens and you will see His glory; examine the firmament and you will see His handiwork (Psalm 19:1)
