Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
Starting over means meeting with family and your team and your business coach and mapping out your goals and dreams for the new year.
“Don’t You Just Love New Year’s …you get to start all over!” – Forrest Gump
In the movie Forrest Gump, Forrest spends the holidays with Lieutenant Dan. They’re in a bar watching the magnificent ball drop on TV at the countdown to the New Year and two girls walk up to greet them. One of them says excitedly, “Hey! That’s, like, Times Square – we were just there! Don’t you just love New Year’s?” then wistfully, “You get to start all over.”
Well, I don’t know about you, but I must’ve been about six years old the last time I actually truly got to “start all over”! But there is that feeling of completeness – I survived and grew last year, and I am able to celebrate lots of exciting business milestones. There is that feeling of newness and the possibility of second chances. I have prayerfully met with my family and my team of counselors and my business coach and mapped out my goals and dreams for this year.
Mind you, this is no small undertaking. May I encourage you, if you haven‘t already, to stretch yourself and to map out the whole year, at least tentatively, completing the five following steps to “start over” your entrepreneurial endeavors.
ONE: PURPOSE in Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
First, ask yourself, “What is my God-given purpose?”
According to Scripture you are to do all that you can to bring Him “glory and honor” (Revelation 4:11). You are to do everything you do “as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). You are to “study to show yourselves approved” by Him (2 Timothy 2:15). And only those things that point people to the Redeemer and further His kingdom belong at the top of the list!
TWO: PASSION in Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
Second, begin to ponder, “What are my passions? What is our mission statement and what is the vision of our organization? Are they in line with my passions?”
If you have never allowed a certified guide to take you through “The Passion Test”, I would definitely encourage it, for it clarifies and defines in the most unique way what you will do and how you will do it! I really feel my brand was not complete until I walked through the amazing journey of The Passion Test (http://www.thepassiontest.com/ ).
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
THREE: TEAMwork for Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
Third, look at your yearly calendar in one glance and synchronize your yearly calendar with those around you that are most important – family, associates, coaching events, holidays, the needs of your team and clients…
FOUR: PLAN for Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
Fourth, work each day or week with the following in mind:
–your most important yearly event
-your most important quarterly event
-your most important monthly event
Plan so that these big events aren’t left to the last minute causing you undue stress. As your calendar solidifies, work backwards. I have a list of tasks that need to be done to make a certain event happen and have worked backwards on my calendar placing those tasks at strategic points so that things will get done in a timely fashion leading up to the date of the event.
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
FIVE: SUPPORT for Starting Over for Entrepreneurs
Fifth, get a second and/or a third opinion!
Run your calendar through another person – your associates or team, or your coach, because they will be able to see things from a different angle than you will! Two heads are better than one!
“Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” Proverbs 15:22
Are you looking forward to starting over? Contact me if you need help!

THINK HEALTHY! 6 Questions to Find Out if You are as Healthy as You Think!
When questions arise about how you can THINK HEALTHY, consider all the areas of your life (body, soul, and spirit) where you can improve your whole health.
THINK HEALTHY! Health is more than fitness!
All of us reach a certain point when we ask ourselves, “Am I healthy?” Brought on by age, fitness level, watching someone suffer because ill health, or simply feeling tired at the end of the day challenge our thoughts about being healthy.
There is so much more to health than if we can walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded or if we are eating enough good food. From a Christian perspective, we are not one dimensional beings. We have a physical body, but, we also have a soul and a spirit. So let’s consider all 3 dimensions of wellness here!
THINK HEALTHY! ABOUT THE BODY
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
We are referring to the physical body (soma in the Greek). This includes all muscles, bones, and fat; and comprises all the tangible matter that make up our person down to the smallest components, like our DNA. This is our body and it FIRST belongs to God.
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Because our body belongs to God we are to honor our physical body by taking care of it.
Consider these questions:
Question One: Are you moving?
This does not need to be an intensive daily workout. Moving can mean parking farther away from the door, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or taking a walk after dinner. Movement in order to take care of your body honors the temple of God that is your body.
OR
Have you made moving and fitness an idol? An idol is simply something you consider more important than your relationship with God or more important than the things God has asked you to do.
Dedicate your workouts and your body to God. It’s not about how you want the temple to look. It is about what God wants you to do with His temple!
Question Two: What is the state of your environment?
So often overlooked, our homes are part of the fitness of our body. Is your home safe physically, emotionally and spiritually? Safety in a home is about cleanliness, organization and mood. Being able to rest your body without concern of getting sick is part of temple health. Consider the stress you would feel if you tried to sleep in an environment where you were concerned bugs would crawl on you when you closed your eyes. Not a restful kind of sleep! Lack of good sleep is highly detrimental to overall health. And a strife filled home prevents adequate rest of any kind.
THINK HEALTHY! ABOUT THE SOUL
And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7
The soul is the part of a person which needs rescue. Your soul encompasses our mind, our will and our emotions. Our soul is our ‘heart.’ Our soul is the part of us that is the decision maker and buffer between what our fleshly body wants and what the Spirit of God in us wants.
For example, you need to go out and take care of the yard. Your body is tired and it’s been a long week. Your body is telling you stay in your comfy chair and watch TV. The Spirit of God in you is reminding you this is the only time you have, plus you have determined to be a better steward with all God has given you. Your soul (mind, will, and emotions) steps in and makes the decision. Hopefully!
When considering the health of your soul ask these questions:
Question Three: What are you feeling?
It may seem like a silly sort of question but many people don’t feel their feelings. They stuff their emotions down and don’t really experience them. Emotions are given by God in order for us to act and grow. Emotions help us choose our behavior. Emotions help us know what we need to take to God and how to respond to other people. Experiencing your feelings in a healthy way that lines up with the Word of God is part of being healthy.
Question Four: What are you thinking?
Simply put, are you getting the intellectual stimulation you need. All humans need a level of intellectual challenge. The range is vast on what is challenging, such as a thought-provoking movie or a Sudoku puzzle or an engaging conversation with a friend. Participating in some intellectually stimulating activity is healthy.
Are your thoughts in line with God’s thoughts?
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8
Making sure we know God’s ways and His thoughts should lead to our ways and thoughts being more like His; and that is a healthy position!
THINK HEALTHY! ABOUT THE SPIRIT
For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being. Romans 7:22
The spirit is an essential part of our being. It is the most holy part of you because it is indwelt by the Spirit of God. Our spirit needs attention just like our soul and our body. It is the interaction with and health of our spirit which most affects our mood and the peace of our soul.
Taking care of our spirit can be pretty simple:
Question Five: Are you connecting?
You are not designed to live life alone. You are designed for relationship. This means you need to connect with other God and with others. Meaningful connections are essential to overall health. In order to connect with another person you have to be willing to be vulnerable and talk about what matters to you. This includes conversations with God.
Question Six: Are you praying?
Prayer is just a conversation with God. Yes, a conversation, a back and forth interaction between you and the Almighty. Prayer has been scientifically studied and proven to enhance health and wellness. Scientists don’t have good explanations for it. But we, believers, have the inside scoop! Prayer is healthy. Prayer is a hotline for health and wellness.
When questions arise about how you can THINK HEALTHY, consider all the areas of your life where you can improve your health. For more insight into how to THINK HEALTHY, check out my book from RHEMA Counseling Associates, Wellness: The Awareness of the Whole Individual on Amazon!

Working Together with God for Change
A new year is such a beautiful time to close the past and start anew and to begin working together with God for change!
“Resolutions are popular because everyone feels they could use a little improvement.” Marilu Henner
A new year is such a beautiful time to close the past and start anew. We all commemorate the end of one period of our life and celebrate the possibility of the coming New Year. One way we mark this new beginning is to set goals and make resolutions. As lovers of Christ, we should be no less inclined to make changes in our life. In fact, we are encouraged to work out our salvation (Philippians 2:12). This means we are to keep growing and healing. We are to continue transforming our mind and behavior to be more like Jesus in this world.
But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:20-24
If we are stuck in the process of creating our resolutions or goals for this year, we should consider this verse in Ephesians. It outlines a great goal toward becoming more like the God in whose image we are made. Putting off the old self and putting on the new, is not just a goal for the year for us. It is a lifelong process which starts with each one of us!
PUT IT OFF
so we can begin working together with God for change
There is an important point in this verse which seems to be often overlooked. It is up to us to put off the old self. It is our choice and our responsibility.
Have you ever walked into a spider web stretched across your path? Depending on how you feel about spiders, this can be an absolutely terrifying or a simply annoying experience. Either way, there is usually a bit of dancing about, sputtering, spitting and wiggling. It is a dramatic choreography.
We want that sticky, yucky thing off of us. We put it off of us. This is the same thinking we should have when it comes to getting rid of the “old self”.
PUT OFF WHAT?
so we can begin working together with God for change
Putting off our old self, the old you, is not about changing our personality. The verse is specific about what to put off. We are to get rid of deceitful desires. Which begs the question: What is a deceitful desire?
It is not just about lying or telling untruths. Deceitful desires are things which are against the knowledge of God – anything that goes against God’s plan for how He wants us to live. We are to put off certain behaviors which are not good for relationship with each other or with God.
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21
This verse hits on many of the things we are to put off. It is not possible to do it by ourselves; that is why we have a Comforter and Helper in the Holy Spirit. However, it is very much in our power to choose. It is in the choosing that we put off these things. It is in the choosing not to sin, when we submit to God, and resist the devil. It is in the moment of putting off sin when God rescues us, but we have to choose it.
PUT ON
so we can begin working together with God for change
Now that we have chosen to put off the sinful nature; then what do we put on? Gratefully, we have a guide book for that too!
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
We control our thoughts. ALL behavior starts with a thought. We measure our thoughts, take captive any unruly thought, and steer our thoughts toward those things on which God would have us focus.
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians 5:22-23
We have a Helper to aid us in producing the character and behavior which is pleasing to God. Help is available to us.
Take a look at the resolutions and goals you have set. Are they pushing your character and behavior toward the fruit of the spirit? Prayerfully reconsider your year in the light of putting off deceitful desires and putting on the fruit of the spirit.
Ready to put on and put off? Great! Share your insights! After all, we are on this same journey and all need a helping hand, a godly perspective, a listening ear, and much more.
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg

New Beginnings: New Self
As the Year and new beginnings get underway, we all want a fresh and balanced start. As Christians we want to start new God’s Way!
Helping Others into the New Self
One of the most challenging tasks for a counselor is offering effective and practical steps to our clients. We want to be able to help people with new beginnings, to find their own practical solutions. Fortunately, as counselors who center our work on the Bible, we have help through the Word of God. As a therapist, I love that I can remind someone they are a new creature in Christ. It is a privilege to help someone learn how he/she can be renewed and live in this newness offered to him/her.
New beginnings are always a great time to focus on renewal; such as the beginning of the month, the year, or even the week or day! God tells us His mercies are new every morning. (The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23) With every sunrise we see, we are given a clean slate. The key is living in it. The key is to remember we are new and that old things have passed away. (Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17)
And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Colossians 3:10
What does it mean to be “renewed in knowledge” at times of new beginnings?
Each of us lives with an inner monologue, a recording we play over and over. This is the knowledge of who we believe we are. Oftentimes it is full of negative statements usually related to not being good enough, not mattering or not having what it takes. This is the knowledge we live with. However, it is not the truth. The Truth is what the Word of God says about us.
When we are learning to be a new creature and live in the renewal which Christ intended for us, we must be aware of our current knowledge. For example, our current knowledge and recording might be: “I am damaged goods because I was abused. No one will ever love me.”
We are instructed to shut down those thoughts and bring every thought into captivity and subject it to the light of the Word of God. In order to renew, we are to line those thoughts up with the One in whose image we were created. God is love. We are loved!
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5
What does it mean to be created in the image of our Creator during new beginnings?
One of the biggest hindrances of living in the new self is figuring out who we are. So much of our identity comes from our family of origin, our life experiences, what people say about us and who we think we are. We identify more with the negative experiences in our life than the positive. We rehearse our traumas and tragedies. Those things are part of the old self. The new self is who God says we are. He says we are created in HIS image!
BUT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
The Bible is full of wonderful examples, images, and analogies describing the character of God. In nearly every verse the image of the Creator is revealed to us. We must seek it, then meditate on it, then put it on as our new self. The following scripture is a great place to start allowing God to reveal His character and intention toward us.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103:8-14
Helping during new beginnings to reveal the new self – for Counselors
Putting on the new self and being renewed in knowledge is a choice made by each individual. As Christian counselors we can offer support in the process in the following ways:
- Acknowledge and normalize that being made “new” is a process. It is not a one-time thing. It is done daily, even moment by moment. Why else would we need new mercies daily?
- Offer scripture which reveals the character of God. Give references to the way God feels about us, the way He loves, forgives and blesses His beloved.
- Support and community is key. This process happens as other supportive Christians walk with us along the journey to the new self and encourage and keep individuals on the right path.
Jesus was sent so that we would have life and have it more abundantly. Part of that abundance is to live in the new self. We are to put off the old ways and put on the new ways of Christ so we can experience freedom in life and in relationships.
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg
