We use it to make just and righteous business decisions. We apply it from planning, to execution and to preservation of our businesses. We need it in choosing the greatest product ideas, hiring the best personnel, creating the most effective marketing strategies and offering the most outstanding customer services. Even in our smallest decisions, we need wisdom to do them right and running.

But what is true wisdom anyway? Do we really have it? Do we really use it? In answering these questions, let’s take a look at the beginning of wisdom. According to the Bible…

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” (Proverbs 1:7)

What do you understand about the verse above? For me, our fear of the Lord indeed signifies the starting of our wisdom. It is righteous and very logical to fear the truly most powerful one. This fear is caused by our powerful love and faith to Him. If we fear to disobey God’s ways, then we walk in the righteous ways.  If we fear to do evil things which will harm us, then we save our life and soul. Again, we fear God because we love and respect Him.

May I ask you a question? Do you fear your wife? If you answer “yes”, then you really love your wife and you respect her. But if your answer is a “no”, then I will doubt if you will say… you have a great care for your loving wife. If you love your wife and your relationship with her, you limit yourself in doing negative actions that will make her mad or sad. In this case, you will be having a fear of your wife. You are frightened to commit mistakes, and therefore you aspire to preserve a good relationship with her. With that, you achieve success in love.

Now we go to business. How will your fear with God start wisdom within you? And how will this wisdom contribute success in your business? We answer that by enumerating the following:

You fear God that’s why…

1. You uphold honor and integrity by offering quality and excellent products to your customers.

2. You are helping your employees by giving them fair and just compensation.

3. You promote honesty and transparency by telling the truth in your product’s promotional programs.

3. You help your government and county by paying the right amount of taxes.

4. You preserve nature by operating in an eco-friendly business environment.

5. You share your money and blessings to the people in need.

6. You refrain from business fraud, inequity and greediness.

7. You value peace, love and care to your co-owners, competitors, laborers, creditors, debtors, investors, suppliers and customers.

Now ask yourself again. As a businessman and an entrepreneur, do you already have wisdom with you? Have it already started on you?
