"Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves." Psalm 127 is a wonderful reminder that success comes from the Lord. He is in control; we are not. We are invited not to try harder, but to rest in His provision, knowing that He is a good and gracious God. In C12, we understand that our work is just one part of who we are, not the be-all and end-all. If you would like to discuss work-life balance and how it fits into God's plan, please let us know. Our C12 Business Forums are a great space for discussions like this.

God is actively working to redeem the world and restore people to Him, and our work is a tool which can be leveraged for that mission. In C12, we call this "Business as a Ministry" (BaaM), a concept that encapsulates the idea of using your business platform to make a difference beyond financial success. If you're interested in BaaM but don't know where to start, let us know. We would be happy to set up a short discovery call to tell you more about C12 and how it can help you leverage your business for the Kingdom.

We wear many hats as leaders, but there are some responsibilities we cannot delegate and should not abdicate, including our families. True success is reflected in an integrated life at the intersection of a life in order, work as worship, and business as a ministry. In C12, business leaders and CEOs help each other find that balance through the power of peers. If that appeals to you, please let us know. We would love to tell you more about C12 and connect you with a local Business Forum.

Regardless of industry, location, or size, businesses share a common goal of creating and maintaining efficient, value-driven systems. In last month's C12 Business Forums, we discussed lean principles and how they can provide a framework for maximizing value and minimizing waste, closely aligning with the biblical call to stewardship. If you would like to be involved in discussions like these, let us know! We would love to set up a short discovery call to see if C12 is a good fit for you.

In C12, we prioritize lean principles in our businesses. One of those frameworks is 5S, a waste-elimination methodology that offers a structured approach to help businesses streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve efficiency. Would you like to discuss the 5S methodology with like-minded business owners and CEOs? We would love for you to visit a C12 Business Forum near you.

How well we delegate and empower those around us determines the ceiling of our leadership impact. In our next C12 Business Forums, we examine delegation and the impact it can have in our companies. Would you like to be part of the discussion? We would love for you to visit a Business Forum in your area.

This spring, Christian business leaders from all across the globe meet to gain insights into building great businesses with a greater purpose. If you're a business leader or CEO and would like to learn more, please let us know! We would be happy to tell you more about C12 and CURRENT25.

We limit our potential as leaders when we think we have to do everything. Like Joe Valind of Auto Safety Center says, "I wasn't going to be able to do everything that I needed to do if I was going to focus solely on doing everything in the business. It was going to come at a significant cost." C12 helps business leaders prioritize what matters. If that appeals to you, let us know! We would be happy to set up a short call to see if C12 is right for you and your business.

"Strategy involves positioning, not action." It can be easy to blur the lines between strategy and execution. Develop your strategy first, then figure out how to accomplish it.
