Seasonal Stewardship

In Ecclesiastes, Solomon is telling about many different seasons of life. There is a time of birthing and a time of dying.

There are many more seasons: Sowing and harvesting.

Work hard and rest. Season of sorrow and season of joy.

Then there are also seasons of life: when you’re a child.

An adult. Single and married. Engaged. Having young kids.

All these seasons change your responsibility.

So in effect, it changes your stewardship.

All the points of Extreme Stewardship apply differently when you’re in different seasons. It is best to identify your seasons so you know what is required of the good and faithful steward.

This means we need to apply the Extreme Ownership and adapt it to the season you are in.

The more I talk with men – the more I notice that there are some challenges along the way. You are sometimes bound to a season and don’t have much freedom of choice.

Then there is also always a point to be made about sacrifice. For many options don’t have both options, but only one and then they are gone. So there are real consequences from our decisions.

Provide with Presence, my Brother!

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…

  • How I’ve posted a daily Newsletter for 100 days

    For the longest time, people have said:“Send a Newsletter. You need to own your list. You need to write a weekly Newsletter.” It took me over 4 years to even send my first Newsletter. I tried to follow the advice of all the industry leaders. Until one in-depth Newsletter a week. When I looked at their schedule, they said to work 2 hours per day. At the end of the week, you have a 3,000-word Newsletter. It will take 12 minutes to read that Newsletter. When I receive those Newsletters, some…

  • Strive for Excellence not Perfection

    Strive for Excellence not Perfection How often do we freeze up and can’t go forward, because something we have created isn’t good enough – isn’t perfect? Way too often. I have spent so many hours trying to perfect something. Our goal is often completion, or perfection. Reaching the 100%. It seems like it is always escaping us. I want to challenge the idea of perfection. We should strive for excellence. Doing something not for 100% perfection, but rather to a 90% excellence. Perfection keeps…

  • Why Your To-Do List Might Be Holding You Back

    Our to-do list feels endless. There are so many things we could do. Some are more important than others. I recently listened to a podcast. They were chatting about this one guy being paid a lot to be an advisor. Yet he didn’t do much. He said that his job was not to add to the tasks in the business, but to make sure they didn’t do anything that hindered the business profits. I have also experienced the same thing. The real difference between success and failure is to do the right things and…

  • Don’t Build a Business That Pays $1.50/hr

    There is something that bugs me a lot… It’s a new trend that steals fathers away from their families. It’s the lifestyle side hustle. I’m all about building a business to provide for your family. But to me, it’s more than just delivering a pay-check. It’s about becoming a Present Provider. Yet, I observe so many fathers stepping into the world of business with a side hustle mentality. The goal is to make a little extra money on the side. The idea is often a little extra on cash by making some…
