It is an agile core with a robust frame that enables you to navigate effectively in difficult situations and market environments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you are currently facing, your business must be able to adapt and remain efficient while continuing to be profitable with Kingdom impact. In\u00a0<strong>Psalm 107:23-31<\/strong>, we learn about entrepreneurs who face storms and major distress as they do business in great waters; they are not only able to see God work on their behalf but\u00a0<strong>they give God thanks for His goodness despite the storms, distress, and trouble for it is in the midst of these challenges that God\u2019s goodness and grace are most evident.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are you currently facing?\u00a0Is it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Political divide or changes<\/li><li>Racial and social issues<\/li><li>Pandemic<\/li><li>Inflation<\/li><li>War<\/li><li>Recession<\/li><li>Life issues<\/li><li>Industry issues and changes<\/li><li>Supplies chain issues<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whatever you are going through right now, you can give thanks to the Lord for He can and will see you through.<\/strong>\u00a0However, although Scripture ensures us that God is able to see us through difficult situations, we must do our part to prepare for them. Operational excellence enables us to be fully prepared so that no matter what life and circumstances throw at us, not only does the grace and mercy of God see us through,\u00a0<strong>our preparation enables us to take the offense to propel us forward toward the purpose and call of God for our lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How would you define operations excellence?\u00a0It is defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Running a transformation business with high efficiency and impact no matter the market condition<\/li><li>Creating an organizational rhythm of high efficiency and impact despite the fact that there is chaos around<\/li><li>Operating with internal peace and stability despite external uncertainty<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how you define operational excellence, it requires you to be adaptable and agile no matter your external condition. You need to keep\u00a0maintaining internal peace and stability\u00a0as you go through any market and personal challenges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My prayer for you today is that God will give you the grace and wisdom to operate your business with excellence, enabling you to withstand the market and social challenges your business may face.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL BY PATRICE TSAGUE Is your business operating with excellence?
