28 May journal entry.
Mum said, “Jesus said to feed my sheep. He didn’t say to count my sheep. God doesn’t asks us to be successful. He asks us to be faithful.”
Charities depend on donations to sustain its cause. A social enterprise on the other hand is a business that exist to address social issues and needs. Income generation plays an important role in making its mission self-funding and sustainable. Surpluses are plowed back to the enterprise to enlarge its engagement and impact in society.
My social enterprise is still not where I want it to be. It take time for a start up to become financially viable. Some say up to five years. The companies that remain are the ones that can hold out through the challenging beginning years.
Mum reminded me not to measure success by the amount of money I make. She reminded me how my invitation to speak in Wales and Prime Minister Lee’s reference to what I wrote in the papers are also ways to measure God’s blessings. She said that these are things that could never be earned. They have been given to me. She said that this is also success.
I am really thankful that my almost 81-year-old mother is on board with me in my journey.
