Why Lily the Pink?

There is quite a story behind this name. It started when I wanted a name to use as a business woman. I did not want to use my surname so I looked at what I could do with my first name. Susan means lily. At about the same time I thought God was asking me to wear more pink clothes. I then remembered the song Lily the Pink from my childhood. OK Lily the Pink sounds good why not use that. I had a look at the words of the song. Lily the Pink is called “the saviour of the world”. Her medicinal compound is thought to have some very strange results in the song. It is somewhat exaggerated. However it is not the only thing that might sound a bit over the top.

In 1993 I was on a course in church where one of the exercises was to write down what we thought God was saying to us. Shortly before the course I asked God what I would do with my life. The next paragraph gives the answer.

You are my child, my precious possession, my lily, my beautiful one. My saviour for many people and churches. I will use you as you lean on me. I will support you and deal sensitively with you. You will restore my people throughout the word of my testimony. You are my child. You are my deliverer of millions, through you I will do many wonders. I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.

What on earth has that got to do with these courses? I am still working that one out. One thing I am sure of though, is that they are His idea and that He will do with them what He will. Any success or favour that they receive will be because He has seen my efforts, likes what I have done and is taking them forwards His way.

Cashflow 101 – or practising how to make money make money

History makers need to have a positive attitude towards money. In other words they need to know how to handle it and make it multiply for them. This is not an easy thing to do. Many struggle just to manage money. Few actually manage to mind make money work for them rather than them having to work for money.  This can take a radical change in attitudes and means learning a new set of skills. How can you do this?  Most of us have been taught that we should be aiming to get a job or work for others. Some have gone a bit further and looked at the possibility of becoming self-employed and giving themselves a job. Many people have set up organisations that learnt to survive on grants and donations rather than developing such a level of income for themselves that they can use this to fund the organisation. In these days of huge competion for grants and donations it is useful to be able to developing alternative ways of funding the work that you want to do. Therefore it is useful to learn how to use money to make money. Those who have learnt how to make money make money have had to change their attitude towards money. That can be a quite a difficult journey. This game was developed by Robert Kiyosaki as a way of helping people develop the skills and attitudes that are necessary to make those kind of changes. If you have not heard of Mr Kiyosaki then you will not have heard of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books. In these books he compares the things that he learnt from his natural father (his poor dad) and his best friend’s father (his rich dad). One had many academic qualifications and had a good job but still died poor. The other was street smart and employed others to help him make money that made him rich. In the past few years he has built a business based on the principles he learnt and then used in his own life to become rich. His current businesses run seminars and a coaching service using the principles he has written about in his books. In addition they sell three cashflow games. One for children and two for adults, one extending the skills learnt in the other. I have managed to obtain a copy of the children’s version and the first level adult game. Problem is I need people to play them with. Is there anyone in the Bishop Auckland area who would be willing to play them with me? If so let me know and we can make arrangements to do so.
