WELCOME October 18, 1999 Issue

To Our Readers

Russ Gerber

Competition has been seen in both a positive and a negative light. It's been why some people have gone further and more efficiently toward their goal. For others, who have focused only on what a strong competitor is doing, it has been a reason for doubting their own ability: "What's the use? I can't be that good."

Whether or not one faces tough business competition, the business has to go on in order to be successful. There's more to be gained by understanding why you're in business, what the needs are of those you are serving, and how best to serve them, than by worrying if someone is beating you.

Our Cover Story this week is from Colleen Douglass, a woman who has worked in a highly competitive business environment herself, and who learned important lessons about working among others in a similar field. As you'll see, it isn't a competitive edge that she attributes success to, but what might be called a spiritual edge, one that's available to everyone. As she explains, "The destiny of a business or a career is not in the clutches of fate, but in the loving hands of God Himself." The bottom line: a love and understanding of God, together with a sincere desire to bless others—all others—provides the best business plan going.
