“Proverbs 31”

Business Woman Model

Personal Development, Home Making, Business Enterprise, Economic Sustainability, and Community Outreach

The Proverbs 31 Business Woman understands that her business and its success are directly related to her God-given talents, skills, abilities, and the plan He has for her life.  These qualities are uniquely her own, and are part of her shape, being, and individual purpose. She seeks the Master Plan He has for her business plan, and her life.  Her delight in doing business springs from her love for God and others; integrity, desire to serve others, to do good and prosper, and her motivation to help herself, her home, her community.  She values all who would be her customers and provides quality products and/or service to help meet their needs and interests, while providing her a sustainable income.  She does her business as though it were a ministry, for it is.  She loves and reveres God and His Son Jesus Christ as Lord, and serves Him with all her life, and seeks to glorify Him by serving others.  Her goals are to be a loving, positive, innovative, wise, and caring woman; a productive manager of  time, money, and resources (about handling business); one who is aware of her strengths, abilities and what she has to offer (empowered); insightful in developing relationships and conducting business with merchants and customers in the marketplace (networked and enterprising); sober-minded in planning and building wealth for the well being of her family: buying land and other resources as needed (sustainability); looking out for and caring for her home and friends; being a treasure and delight to her husband (and/or Lord who is her foremost and ultimate Husband), and being a valuable contributor to her community.  She works to not just make money, but also to make a positive difference in someone's life (has a “heart & soul for doing business”). She is a celebrated woman by those who know her (blessed).  --Written by Tekelia C. Kelly,Founder/Owner, Sisters In Business.Net, a Division of Tekelia C. Kelly Enterprises  ©Copyright 2006

(Sidebar)  Ever since my days as a young teen I can remember admiring and wanting to be like the "virtuous" woman. I now see that her model is more of a lifestyle after which to pattern wholeheartedly, more so than a life of perfection.  The Bible teaches us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  I know well personally about that.  Yet, I so rejoice in a Perfect Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whose grace is truly sufficient!  Today, I refer to this virtuous woman as the "Proverbs 31 Woman".  She was not perfect, but proven in her faith and devoted to God, which was evident by her lifestyle according to Bible scriptures.  With all her heart, mind, soul...she lived to demonstrate her love for God--in her personal life, her household, her business, and in her community.  This is the business woman model of Sisters In Business.)  Addendum  Tekelia C.
