Quote by Mark Victor Hansen “Commitment is the spark that ignites the fire. Commitment is the key that starts the engine. When one lays down a line in the sand and declares, ‘I am committed to do this – whatever it takes, for however long it takes,’ then an invisible signal goes forth, like a radio beacon, resonating with whatever resources are necessary to complete the task.”

Ed Silvoso (Harvest Evangelism) “All around the world God is raising an army of marketplace ministers who are determined to see transformation take place in the domains of business, education and government.”

An example of an influencing Christian Business Extracts from the website of ‘Chick-fil-A’ “Armed with a keen business sense, a work ethic forged during the Depression, and a personal and business philosophy based on biblical principles, Truett Cathy took a tiny Atlanta diner, originally called the Dwarf Grill, and transformed it into Chick-fil-A, the nation’s second largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain with more than $2.9 billion in sales in 2008 and currently more than 1,400 locations. His tremendous business success allowed Truett to pursue other passions – most notably his interest in the development of young people.” “Over the past 40 years, Chic-fil-A has set out to be America’s best quick-service restaurant. We strive to live up to this mission by not only serving delicious food, but also promoting community connections… We want to enrich the lives of everyone we touch: those who know us as customers, employees, families and friends as well as those who know us only by name or reputation. Through our success in business – and in the community – we know that a little chicken goes a long way.”

Quote from Jim Collins’ book ‘Good to Great’ “The leaders who are most effective are not the most dynamic personalities but are those who are more quiet, less assuming and humble. They are successful because they empower, release and exalt others rather than themselves. Such leadership is less personality dependant and the businesses flourish because of it. Often this form of leadership makes the difference between a good company and one that is great.”
