Bridge the Gap
There are certain things we desire to accomplish this year. If you're a Christian, you might have sought confirmation from the Lord.
It may be to start a business. It may be in the area of relationship. It may even be to start your ministry. The thought of starting that thing already pumps enormous energy into you. You're zealous.
But wait a minute, do you have knowledge of what you're going into? If you're planning to start a business, do you have a good understanding of how the business works? Do you know your market? Do you have an understanding of basic book keeping?
If it's to start a farm, what's your understanding of land preparation, mulching, composting, seeding methods etc?
What am I saying, before you commit a dime to that venture, invest in yourself first. Bridge the knowledge gap. A lot of money thrown into businesses people don't understand have gone down the drain with some premium tears and regrets. You don't want that to be your lot.
Seek out people who are already doing what you're planning to do and learn from them even if it means paying them. If they don't have time to teach, they can at least point you in the right direction of what and where to learn.
Google and YouTube are wonderful places to acquire knowledge. As a matter of fact, you can learn new skills from the scratch using YouTube. There are also other wonderful places like udemy.com where you can learn.
The scriptures says " Desire without knowledge is not good-- how much more will hasty feet miss the way!" (Proverbs 19:2, NIV)
Lack of knowledge destroys, anyday, anytime (Hosea 6:4).
Bridge the knowledge gap.
