Our previous post talked about the beauty and necessity of entrepreneurship for our BAM endeavors.  At the same time, building our business structures on a solid foundation is also a priority.

That is true for our individual lives, and certainly true for any ministry effort.

What you know about business remains very important, even as you strive to stimulate creativity in a BAM startup. 

Blending the two things, entrepreneurial capabilities and business principles, is perhaps one of the most interesting challenges.

As any business starts to really get legs under it and grow, business processes become increasingly important.  It is like turning a corner, stepping out of the laboratory of invention into the tasks of running a business.  Some people really struggle with turning that corner, and great ideas never become great businesses.

Look to Christ through it all, each phase of design and implementation.  Keeping his purposes in mind will help you with each transition in the journey.

Many thanks,
