What does it mean to Do Business by Faith?

Shiketa Morgan • Oct 26, 2017

With Big Faith you will accomplish Big Things and I want to empower you to Build Your Faith.

Several weeks before writing this blog post; I had a garage sale at my home.

My goal was to get rid of some old clothes, shoes, purses and household items. Moreover, one of the items that I had for sale at my garage sale was my book, Doing business by Faith.

While at my Garage sale, one of my neighbors was browsing through the items that I had for sale and she saw my book (Doing Business by Faith) and she ask me the following question: What is Doing Business by faith? I answered her question and I decided to write a blog post about it.

Doing Business By Faith simply means to Do Business in a Realm that you cannot see touch or feel and Doing Business by Faith is made up of 3 principles:

  1. Hope- I believe that every business owner has hope that their Business will be a Success. In fact, it is vital to your Business Success that you are in a constant state of hope, because a lack of hope will eventually kill your dream. Moreover, I believe that hope is what keeps your Vision alive!
  2. Trust-Do you trust that you will succeed? Do you trust that God will provide you with what you need for the Vision? Trust is a Big part of building a relationship as well as building a Business. In fact, it takes a ton of Faith to Trust that what you desire for your business will soon become a reality. So, I challenge you to relax, trust God and trust yourself!
  3. Confidence- Do you have confidence in yourself? Do you have the confidence that God has called you to start or operate a Business? I believe that a confident Business Owner can accomplish anything that he or she sets his heart to do. So, hold your head up, stick your chest out and be confident in your goals and dreams.

Finally, I believe that doing Business by Faith is simply moving forward even when you don't feel like it and never giving up on your Business goals and Dreams!

With Big Faith you will accomplish Big Things and I want to empower you to Build Your Faith. For more Faith building principles, Be sure to get my book, Doing Business by Faith!

When I opened my first Child Care center in 2003, I had a vision to own multiple locations. In fact, I carried that vision for eleven years and while waiting for the vision to become a reality, that first location taught me how to manage multiple locations. Furthermore, while I prepared for multiple locations, I went through 11 years of trials and tribulations and I looked for other buildings as God was preparing me for the business growth that was ahead of me. Moreover, I can remember looking for buildings and going to banks applying for loans so that I can open a second location and for 11 years, I was running into lots of closed doors. Today, I thank God for those closed doors, because those closed doors, were not what God had in store for me. In fact, I have discovered that when you run into closed doors, that is God’s way of saying, “That’s not for you!” After 11 years of being in my first Child Care Center, the business began to decline. In fact, I began to wonder what was going on. I was a faithful tither, I was marketing the business, we had a quality childcare program, however, we didn’t have very many children enrolled. In August 2014, a friend of mine, texted me and told me about a building that was vacant and for lease. So, I decided to stop by the building. When I pulled up to the building, I knew in my spirit that was my dream location. After pulling up on the parking lot and getting out of my car, I walked up to the front door and I laid hands on the door; then I decreed and declared this: This building will be the next home of Learning Days. Making a declaration over the building, activated my Faith, however I had one problem! I didn’t have the money, all I had was Big Faith. In this book, I will share with you, how my Faith in God empowered me to Grow my Business, How to get through hard times by faith, The importance of Growing as a leader, How to encourage your team to grow and I will share strategies that I used to manage two locations. Moreover, I will share how following the dream in your heart will move you out of your comfort zone. If you are truly ready to Grow your Business, this book is for you and I believe that after reading this book, you will be inspired and empowered to build the business of your Dreams…. by Faith!! In my new book, I share Business Growth strategies that I used to grow my Business. Check out the video and Get your copy!

What is your Dream for your Business? Is it to Grow your Business? Is it to build a fortune 500 company? Whatever your dream may be for your business, I want to challenge you to take some time to write down your Dream, talk about your dream often and keep your dream before God in prayer. Also, I want to encourage you to get pictures of your dream and paste them pictures on a vision board where you can see it daily Furthermore, I know first hand that when you have a Big Dream and you keep that Dream on your heart, your dream will soon become a reality. I can remember wanting to grow my small child care center back in 2014. The center was struggling financially and to be quite honest; I knew that I had outgrown the center. The only problem was this: I did not have the money to expand. One day my massage therapist, called me and said: "Hey, there is a Empty child care facility not to far from you, I think you should go look at it. " I immediately thought, I don't have any money, but I will drive by to look at the building. When I pulled on the parking lot of the building, I knew that was my Dream location. So, I got out of my car, I laid hands on the door handle and I said: This building will be the next home of Learning Days, in Jesus name! When you walk by Faith, You will divinely know what is for you and you will speak it into existence! Within 30 days of laying hands of the door of the building, my husband and I signed the lease on that building and 5 years later we are getting prepared to sign another 5 year lease on that same location. Today, when I pull onto the parking lot , I am still at awe at the power of Dreaming Big. In fact, your Dream is never to Big for God. All you need is Big Faith! I was recently on the phone with one of my coaching clients and she said to me: "I found a second location ." I said to her, " I didn't know you were looking for another building? " She said, "its been on my heart and I can now carry out the Dream that's in my Heart." Look at the power of keeping your Dream on your heart! I hope that you have been inspired to keep dreaming big and never give up on your Dream. If you have a Big dream for your Business and you feel stuck? I want to help you to get prepared for the manifestation of your Dream. Are you ready to develop big faith for that Big dream? If so, schedule a 1-hour Coaching session with me today! click here .

Moving to Atlanta has been on my Vision board for 5 years. On October 5, 2018, that vision became a reality. The first week that I lived in Atlanta was so uncomfortable for me. I didn't realize how emotional I would be being away from my kids, my parents and my Grandchildren. In fact, the move caused me to have some major anxiety. There were days that I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. Then I reminded my self that this was my Dream, Ive always wanted to expand my Business and if I move back to St.Louis, I would only be going back, because I didn't want to be outside of my comfort zone. As I Prayed about what was really causing me anxiety along with calling on My prayer partners, I realized that I was allowing fear to take over and not my Faith. Furthermore, I have been reminded that Fear will cause you to want to go back to your comfort zone or go back to what feels familiar to you. However, I want to inspire you to keep moving Forward by Faith and Live your Dreams despite of the Fear that you Feel. When you feel uncomfortable about a Business Decision, ask yourself the following questions: 1. Why am I uncomfortable? 2. What is it that I am not embracing? Your answers to the questions above will inspire you to keep moving Forward by Faith! I hope that you have been inspired and if you have a Big Dream on the inside of you, I want to invite you to join my Doing Business by Faith Mentorship Program or contact me for a 1-hour Doing Business by Faith Coaching Session! Keep Moving Forward by Faith, Shiketa Morgan

As I sat in Church today, this blog post came to my spirit. In fact, the words "Live Your Dream" has been in my spirit for several months now. In 2003, I had a dream to turn my Child Care Business into a chain of facilities. Back in 2003, I was new to operating a Child Care Center, but the dream was still in my spirit. Before my dream could become a reality, I had learn how to effectively operate a Child Care Center. After 11 years of failing forward, I found my Dream location in 2014 and two years later I opened my second location. When I took over my second location, I realized that sometimes it takes years for your dream to become a reality. Also, there must be a time of preparation. Please allow me to share my story with you: In 2013, My husband and I took a trip to Atlanta Georgia. As we pulled into the city, I let my car window down and I said to my husband, Do you feel that? He said, Feel what? I said, Success!! Success is in the air here and I want to do business here. We were in Atlanta for 5 days and I enjoyed every moment. While we were there, we drove through neighborhoods that we wanted to live in. Once I got back to St. Louis, I shared with my family that someday I was going to move and do Business in Atlanta. In fact, the thought of moving to Atlanta was on my hear for 5 years! I kept procrastinating and finding reasons to not move; until a tragedy hit my life. In January 2018, My Mom called me and told me that my sister (Jenean) was in a Ambulance and they were doing CPR on her. I froze and I couldn't say anything. As I got dressed to pick my mom up, I felt like I was moving in slow motion. Once I picked up my mom and we got to the hospital, we were told that my sister was still receiving CPR. We prayed as a family and we believed God that she would recover. A chaplain called us all in a room and told us that my sister went into Cardiac arrest and they couldn't figure out why. I was in awe at how fast life can take turn for the worst. My sister was in the hospital for 7 days and on the 7th day, she was pronounced Brain dead. When the doctor took her off of life support, I looked at Her and I realized how quick life can be over. Then I thought, I still have dreams in me that I need to see become a reality before I leave this earth. So, I said to my sister, Jenean, I'm going to go to Atlanta sis and I know that you will be with me in spirit. Before Jenean passed away, we talked about moving to Atlanta and she told me that she was going with me. Since my sister's passing, I have been working on expanding my Business into the Atlanta Area and in a couple of months, I plan to relocate into Atlanta to keep moving in the Direction of my Dreams. I wrote this blog post to say this, Now is the time to live your dreams . Furthermore, I believe that sometimes, we find reasons to stay in our comfort zone and make excuses for why we are stuck. However, once life on this earth is over, its over. So, I want to encourage you to work on living your dreams now. Don't wait to tragedy hits your life to wake you up, Move into the Direction of your dream now. I once heard motivational speaker Les Brown say: The Grave yard is full of buried dreams. Don't die with your Dreams on the inside of You! I know that it is easier said than done and I have found that it takes Big Faith to Live your Dreams. If you need a push to open that Business or to Grow your Business. Contact me for a 1-hour Coaching Session . I look forward to helping you to give birth to your dreams as I live mine!! Be Inspired and I hope to talk to you soon! Shiketa Morgan
