It is for this very reason that personal patience and continuity of unrestricted work ethic is what always produces the greatest rewards.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Throughout all of Solomon\u2019s writings within the Holy Scriptures, especially in the Book of Proverbs, he emphasizes that there may be no greater wisdom than knowing the season of the tongue\u2014discerning when to be silent and when to speak. See <strong>Proverbs 25 : 11 NKJV:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(11) \u201cA word fitly spoken is like apples of gold<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In settings of silver.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The apostle James reveals a mastery over personal speech with his disclosing the truth in the Book of James, Chapter 3, verses 1\u201412.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So the simple test to all of your personal efforts and investments is personal growth\u2026is production! When things you are doing are not producing your desired expected results after you have given or performed the necessary work ethic known to have produced your expected results\u2026.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You have only one acceptable choice\u2026<strong>CHANGE! Adjust your work efforts!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The truth is that it takes right work habits to produce right results.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So if you know for certain that you are doing <strong>ALL the right work habits, then stay at it. Patience always pays off in the long run.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">FACT: The wrong job done perfectly is still the wrong job!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Doing 99% of the required work ethic is 100% the wrong thing to do. <strong>It always takes a 100% full work habit to produce the right results!<\/strong> If exposure of your own business opportunity requires a 5 times a week work effort for 2\u20145 years, then make absolute certain that you show your plan for success 5 times per week for 2\u20145 years without fail or disruption!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Remember what I have previously told you. <strong>(Evaluated Experience and Knowledge) X Action = Power!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Now how you acquire your necessary knowledge and experience is totally up to you. I have always taught (because I had to learn this the hard way by my own token nose) is totally and completely up to you. My advice today is the same as it always was and continues to be. <strong>When ever crossing a minefield, always follow somebody.<\/strong> Use the proven manners, knowledge, and experience of those people who have gone before you to build your own business. Follow the proven efforts of the successful people who have blazed the trail before you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The best, wisest, safest, and most profitable way to negotiate the dangers, toils, and snares that await the neophyte Business Builder is through the advice and leading of a highly qualified personal mentor.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This is the very reason this website <strong>www.davesevern.com<\/strong> was established. A true statement that I learned over 42 years ago\u2026 still holds true today: \u201cWhich way is best and least painful for you to learn from\u2026.my broken nose or yours?\u201d <strong>Mentorship is key to you succeeding.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Many people today fail to achieve their personal dreams and goals simply because they are followers,\u2026instead of growing themselves into great leaders. Because of ignorance and laziness they are unwilling to precisely follow the advice and counsel of their mentor. Hence\u2026they fail in their efforts to build huge business organizations.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Heed my words. <strong>Grow yourself: mentally, physically, and spiritually.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The results show the world does all of your own talking for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Because of these reasons, leading volunteers is the most difficult of all personal leadership techniques to teach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You cannot ever boss or order around volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Since the most difficult person on earth to lead is yourself\u2026you have to get good at leading yourself! Let your example teach your own followers what they should be doing for themselves.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Fact: \u201cInput\u201d must precede \u201cOutput.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>You must first grow mentally before you can ever grow physically.<\/strong> This is precisely the manner and way that God Almighty designed the human being to function and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This is the very reason why I have chosen to build this website. I am laying my broken nose out in the open for all those who want to see and learn from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The content of this website is the accumulation of over 45 years of evaluated experience from owning and successfully operating my own business together with my wife that now after nearly one half century later circumvents the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This website is thorough and complete. Its communicated wisdom is a great source of new knowledge for you to consume and use in your own business building efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Oh, and one last word of caution. It has taken me over 6 decades to accumulate this wisdom and knowledge. Please don\u2019t think that you can grasp it all in a two-minute voice mail message, two line text, or email message. While the internet is a great new technology, remember it took God seven full 24 hour days to create our world. <strong>Doing things right always takes more than an instant or 100 characters or less in a smart phone message.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Two other short points.
