CORE ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A SIMILITUDE OF CONCEPTION, GESTATION, AND BIRTH

Image
  Entrepreneurship begins the moment a vision is conceived. Like pregnancy, it starts invisibly—within the mind and conviction of the individual. Nothing may be obvious to the outside world at first, yet something real has already begun. From that moment onward, the life of the entrepreneur, much like the life of a pregnant woman, is no longer lived casually. It becomes intentional, guarded, and purpose-driven. When a woman becomes pregnant, her body becomes a vessel for life. Her routines, decisions, and priorities adjust to protect and nurture what she carries. In the same way, the entrepreneur’s life becomes the vessel through which a vision is carried. Time, energy, finances, and relationships are no longer neutral resources; they are nutrients that either strengthen or weaken the idea in development. A pregnant woman becomes careful about what she consumes because everything she takes in affects the child. Similarly, an entrepreneur must be deliberate about how money is ...

GOD AS A BUSINESS PARTNER: ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON LEADERSHIP AND ENTERPRISE

Image
  In contemporary business environments, success is rarely achieved in isolation. Entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business owners operate within complex networks of relationships that support vision execution and organizational growth. These relationships—whether financial, operational, legal, or strategic—form the backbone of sustainable enterprise. Understanding the nature of partnership is therefore essential when considering the idea of God as a business partner. Understanding Partnership in Business A business partner is broadly defined as an individual or entity that understands the vision of a business and contributes meaningfully to its realization. Such a partner aligns with the ideology, values, and strategic intent of the organization and plays an active role in its success. Partnership may take many forms. Financial partners provide capital; operational and strategic partners influence decision-making and execution; legal and compliance partners ensure adherence to regul...

JESUS AND THE THEOLOGY OF WORK

Image
  Work is an integral part of human life. It is any productive activity undertaken to achieve results that positively impact one’s life and the lives of others. From a Christian perspective, work is not merely a means of survival or earning a living—it is a calling, an opportunity to serve God through diligence, purpose, and integrity. The life of Jesus Christ provides the ultimate example of how work should be approached. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the second person of the Holy Trinity, demonstrated a life deeply rooted in purpose and preparation. Even at the age of twelve, He displayed an extraordinary awareness of His divine mission. Engaging with teachers in the temple, asking insightful questions, and immersing Himself in Scripture, Jesus began preparing early for the work God had set before Him. While the Bible does not detail His activities from the age of twelve to thirty, we can infer that these years were marked by preparation, learning, and spiritual growth. By...

GOD AND BUSINESS: STEWARDSHIP, VALUE, AND THE SPIRITUAL ECONOMICS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Image
  God—the Creator of the heavens and the earth and the Owner of all that exists—remains the ultimate source of life, ideas, and resources, both visible and invisible. Every business operates within this created order and is sustained by assets it did not create. For this reason, business is never merely economic. It is moral, ethical, and—whether acknowledged or not—spiritual. This article does not seek to judge industries or persons, nor to promote religious superiority. Rather, it seeks to clarify a timeless truth: businesses thrive sustainably when they align with principles that preserve life, dignity, and shared value. God as Owner, Humanity as Steward In the biblical account of creation, God establishes a clear governance structure:   • He creates resources   • He defines purpose   • He delegates responsibility   • He demands accountability   The Garden of Eden was not chaos; it was a managed system. Adam and Eve were stewards, n...

THE BIG TABLE: WHY VALUE, NOT TENURE, EARNS STRATEGIC INFLUENCE

Image
  Understanding the Big Table To understand career progression in modern organizations, one must first understand what the “Big Table” represents and what truly happens there. The Big Table is not reserved for those who have spent ten, twenty, or forty years within an organization. It is not automatically earned through longevity, job titles, or formal rank. Instead, the Big Table is reserved for individuals who consistently deliver real, proven, and reliable value in direct alignment with the organization’s goals and objectives. Access to strategic influence is not a reward for time served—it is an invitation extended to those who matter to the business. Beyond Your Job Description A critical question every employee must confront is this: Do you understand the business of your workplace beyond your assigned role? While terms of reference, roles, and responsibilities define what you are paid to do, they do not define why you will be trusted, consulted, or elevated ....

MY BOSS AND I: REIMAGINING THE EMPLOYEE–BOSS RELATIONSHIP IN THE MODERN WORKPLACE

Image
  The relationship between an employee and a boss is one of the most consequential yet misunderstood dynamics in the workplace. This article reframes that relationship as a purpose-driven, performance-oriented partnership, emphasizing professional maturity, organizational alignment, and strategic workplace intelligence while recognizing the importance of governance, ethics, and employee rights. Introduction Every individual operates within multiple relationships across different stages and spaces of life. These relationships—whether with parents, siblings, friends, neighbours, classmates, or colleagues—are shaped by purpose, expectations, and context. In the workplace, one of the most critical relationships is that between an employee and their boss. Misunderstanding this relationship often leads to unnecessary conflict, poor performance, and stalled career progression. Understanding it correctly, however, promotes productivity, professionalism, and long-term success. The...

CAREER PLANNING FOR GHANAIAN WOMEN: NAVIGATING LIFE AND WORK STRATEGICALLY

Image
  Career success is a journey shaped not only by talent and ambition but also by life circumstances. For Ghanaian women, biological, social, and cultural realities interact with professional aspirations in unique ways . Understanding these dynamics and planning accordingly can help women navigate career challenges while achieving personal and professional fulfilment. Understanding the Context Women often face periods in their lives that influence career continuity —monthly biological cycles, pregnancy, childbirth, maternity leave, and early child‑rearing. These transitions, though natural, can interrupt career momentum in ways that men may not experience. Research globally identifies a phenomenon called the “ motherhood penalty ”, where women experience slower career progression, wage gaps, and reduced access to leadership roles after childbirth. While data in Ghana is still emerging, labour surveys indicate similar patterns: women frequently step away from formal employmen...
