Show Notes
Now that we have introduced ourselves, it’s time to start introducing our business to you. This podcast is all about what drives us as a business to keep going and strive for excellence in what we make and sell.
Faith
Firstly, and most importantly, the thing that drives us is our faith. We are Christians, and we stand firmly on the Word of God (the Bible). As Christians, we follow Christ and long to obey His every command. We desire to do all for God’s glory, which is why we have chosen to name our business “For God’s Glory Designs” (FGGD). We see in Christ the ultimate example of the way we should live our lives, and therefore we strive each day to imitate that behavior by growing closer to Him. The Bible clearly tells us that a Christian is always a Christian and we are to worship God in all that we do. Therefore our business is no different, every product we sell has been made with our hearts set on bringing glory to our God and Creator.
Family
Secondly, we look at how important our family is to us and why that is a driving factor in our business. The very fact that this is a “family business” proves how much we depend upon one another. We love to spend time with each other, and it’s always so encouraging when one of us makes something new or learns a new ability, and we aim to encourage that individual when that happens. We find this to be hugely motivating and a constant push in the right direction for us. Another reason why our family helps drive us is the accountability that comes with it. This business is all by God’s grace, however, if one of us were to stop working that would bring about huge complications. With this thought in mind, it helps us to be all the more diligent to ensure our family doesn’t suffer.
Fascination
Lastly, a huge part of what drives us is our fascinations. One of the most amazing blessings of this business is we all get to do something we love. None of us have a part of the business that we don’t like, and that plays a huge part in driving us. Because we are passionate about what we do, it motivates us to do more, and not only that, because we are passionate about the business we are motivated whenever someone makes something that we find “cool.”
Given these three areas, (faith, family, fascination) we are able, by God’s grace, to stay committed and devoted to developing this business with excellence in mind.
