King Solomon solopreneurs financial guide
Proverbs 27:23 and the solopreneur's guide to financial wisdom
King Solomon understood something most solopreneurs miss.
"Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds." Proverbs 27:23
This isn't just agricultural advice; it's foundational business wisdom.
The Attention Principle
Solomon understood that prosperity requires intentional oversight. You cannot manage what you do not measure.
You cannot steward what you do not understand.
Modern Translation for Solopreneurs
"Know well the condition of your business entities, and give attention to your financial structure."
Four Biblical Business Disciplines
1. Know Your Numbers Track revenue, expenses, and cash flow monthly. Ignorance of financial condition leads to poor decisions.
2. Understand Your Structure Know how your LLC, S-Corp election, and retirement plans work together. Wisdom builds the house; foolishness tears it down.
3. Plan for Seasons "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance." Proverbs 21:5 Business has seasons; prepare accordingly.
4. Seek Wise Counsel "Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14 Professional advice prevents costly mistakes.
The Stewardship Connection
Paying attention to your business structure isn't greed; it's stewardship. God expects faithful management of the resources He's entrusted to you.
Proper planning honors God and serves others.
Your Attention Assessment
When did you last review your business financial condition? How well do you understand your entity structure and tax implications?
