As we journey through life, we are taught to be prepared but, many times we ignore the preliminaries and end up places where we don’t intend to be - with things we didn’t wish for.

“By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

From kindergarten throughout college, students study for exams and the length of time spent studying do have an effect on or determines their grades.

Been prepared takes away doubts and/or fears of failing exams or not meeting up to the required standards.

As we become adults, been prepared is more of an obligation, for we either work for ourselves or someone else; been equipped or prepared is essential for our success.

Before selecting a business or product for marketing, it would be wise for business owners as well as network marketers to do some groundwork and careful research as to product or service, people’s needs, overall expenses, revenue from sales, et cetera, before starting or launching their companies.

No matter what career path you are choosing, training and been prepared are necessary.

Been prepared can result in successes or failures ~ let’s decide to make careful preparations that have flourishing results.

Massive success!

Grateful and Victorious Velma

Elizabeth Tinker   334 day(s) ago
Being prepared means that on matter what goes or comes you have the Lord there to see you through because you know he cares for you. It takes time to know that even in tests and trials that we need to prepare in the good times so that when the tests come our way we can withstand them because we prepared before they came. So yes, we must be prepared no matter what. Thanks!

Velma, once again you have taken a simple phrase and turned it into a powerful statement. Many if not most times, the greatest part of the work in any project is the preparation. Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favors only the prepared mind.”
 
Anne Long   334 day(s) ago

We find the (by American standards) under educated Amish people are the best equipped for running businesses. Very few Amish businesses fail because as a community they help each other learn what is necessary to succeed. No community has a better business success rate; theirs is 95 %.

David Lundgren    335 day(s) ago
Thanks Velma... Being prepared is what I've been doing for 20+ year - buying Gold and Silver as a defense against Hyper-Inflation which is going to "Blindslide" people like nothing they've experienced before. Take away "Electricity" for 7 days and see how the world's infrastructure crumbles. Without proper drinking water - people drop dead within 4-7 days. Yes, being prepared is vital. (my opinion) great topic
 
Lydia Brown   335 day(s) ago

Velma in my view we can not be prepared for everything but we must be aware of situation that might come our way. Good luck my friend.
 
Ingrid Camacho   336 day(s) ago
yes Velma we can either be prepared for success or for failure
 
Marnee Masales   336 day(s) ago
Hi Velma you are correct we must be prepared because we never know what may happen. I like the quote. I am sharing.
 
Jason Yost   336 day(s) ago
One way people can prepare themselves is to examine their hearts. Where is God calling you to serve? When you answer His call, He helps you prepare - in fact, He can do a lot of work for you at times. Why does He do that? Because it is His work you're doing and He wants it to succeed. May God bless you!

We must be prepared Velma your so absolut right on it, a blog I must say people must read. Very good from bottom of my Viking heart Sig
 
Coach Kim   336 day(s) ago
It's funny Velma - some people think they can prepare for life life they do an important final exam - by cramming. Impossible - plus you miss the journey and the joy of preparation. Thanks for sharing!
 
Dorothy Allen   336 day(s) ago
Great blog Velma, I like Ben Franklin's quote "By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail” - that is so true; God bless you in all your preparations! Dorothy
