GM ➡️ Lordstown Motors Corporation ➡️ Foxconn ? Watch this space to see the paradigm shift in #EV for our better future. 🙌

“While financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, Lordstown would reportedly operate in the facility in parallel with Foxconn — an arrangement that could, in the end, be a net benefit for the beleaguered EV maker, which would receive both a cash injection and Foxconn’s mass-manufacturing expertise.”

Live Free from the Curse

“Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. For he shall be like a bush in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When you trust in your arm of flesh, you are unable to receive God’s grace in your circumstances. You make Christ of no effect to you when you operate by the flesh instead of by the Spirit.

The cursed way is to be like Adam after the fall, cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. The ground would sprout forth thorns and thistles, hindering the fruitfulness of what is sown.

Hard labor by the flesh and not by the anointing is the cursed way. “Nothing is going to happen if I don’t do it myself, so I will handle it on my own.” That is the mindset of one who trusts in his arm of flesh.

What is the difference between the “bush in the desert” and the “tree planted by the waters”? The answer is: the presence of water.

The cursed man does not care to receive and meditate on the water of God’s word, so he does not have the hope from God’s promises.

On the other hand, the blessed man is planted by the waters, constantly receiving and meditating on God’s word. He has strong faith and hope in God’s promises, and experiences fruitfulness, health, youth renewal, and provision.

“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark‬ ‭4:14-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Why do you think the devil puts in so much effort to snatch the seed of God’s word from your heart? He deceives, distracts, intimidates, and tempts, all so that he can convince you to give up on God’s word.

It is because a person who allows God’s word to grow in his heart is the biggest threat to the demonic kingdom. A person who prays, loves, and preaches the Gospel destroys Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages, setting captives free.

Such a person’s life flourishes through God’s word, and enjoys hundredfold harvests of God’s blessing.

If the enemy can steer you away from receiving God’s word, he can keep you living in defeat. Let us see through his evil strategies and do the exact opposite: every day, receive the Gospel and hear about the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace available to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Saturate your mind and heart with the Gospel. This is one way you can silence the serpent in your life!

“Silencing the Serpent” is my ebook about spiritual warfare and how Christians can emerge victorious in it. You will discover the mighty spiritual weapons you have in Christ, and learn about the enemy’s strategies as well as how to counter them with Biblical truths. Expect long-time addictions, bondages, and patterns of defeat to be broken when you meditate on the truths in this book: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

哈佛知識分享: 做生意，七大困難選擇! 

七條策略問題 Seven Strategy Questions《第七: What Strategic Uncertainties Keep You Awake At Night? 公司有什麼變數令你夜晚瞓唔著呢?》

Everybody watches what the boss watches. 老闆䀹實乜，同事們就䀹實乜! 你應該䀹實乜呢?

Business is about making tough choices. 上六集就講咗 Who is your primary customer?  公司股東、顧客、員工，邊個行先? 追數，應追邊三條數? 公司應有邊「十誡」? 如何令員工在適當壓力下發揮創意? 同埋同事們之間有幾願意互相幫助? 

今集我會同你探討第七個策略問題，亦都係最後一個: What Strategic Uncertainties Keep You Awake At Night? 公司有什麼變數令你夜晚瞓唔著呢?

根據哈佛教授 Bob Simons 呢本書 Seven Strategy Questions，only three things in life are certain: (1) death, (2) taxes, and (3) the fact that today's strategy won't work tomorrow. 三樣嘢肯定: 死亡、交稅、及做生意策略要隨著時間改變。

你公司提供嘅產品/服務，如果永遠一成不變，無論現在點好，遲早會畀人淘汰。  道瓊斯 工業平均指數成分股有30隻，25年前後，超過一半成份股都已經被剔除。

當中一隻嘅股份依然非常成功，就係強生，Johnson & Johnson。 第二集同你講過，佢哋 Credo 教義，係 Customers Come First 嘅公司。 Credo 最後一句: "When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return." 

咁佢股價表現如何? 如果你1944年買咗強生1股，當年強生 IPO 上市，招股價是$37.5 美金。如果你由1944年揸一股到呢本書出版嘅時候 (即2010年)， 期間再 reinvest 你收到的股息去買多啲強生股票，你所收的股息連同股價升幅，到這本書出版，合共累積收到超過90萬元美金。Yes! 由1944年嘅$37.5美金，至2010年收到合共90萬元美金。等如65年間，年化增長17%。 Grow 17% every year for 65 years! Wow! 

佢點做? 睇下呢個 Johnson & Jonson(強生) 嘅table， 每年嘅 profit planning 由 functional, company, group VP 至 executive level 逐層逐層上， 一年上四次，revisit and revise continously. 

2013年就做定2014年同埋15年嘅 profit plan, 再做多額外5年，10年嘅projection，即2020及2025年。

2014就做定2015及2016年嘅 profit plan, 再 revisit 上年做過嘅5年10年計劃，即重溫2020及2025年嘅 projection，睇呢幅圖， 如此類推。

如果數字同當初預期有所出入， 會 face -to-face 問下屬: 
(1) What has changed? 
(2) Why? 
最重要，(3) What are you going to do about it? 

Keep it simple. Johnson & Johnson, 就係因為不斷地問這三條問題，過去幾十年都能夠 就住市場適應改變。

唔好講到大公司咁複雜， 即是你係個屋村入面做間茶餐廳，What Strategic Uncertainties Are Keeping You Awake At Night? 有乜風險令你夜晚瞓唔著? 

怕你個廚師走咗去? 怕你個業主大幅加租? 怕突然間一大批你啲食客食物中毒? 怕你條村啲人口味變化， 鍾意食日本餐，唔再食茶餐廳? 怕翠華/太興開入來你邊村，咁你就無得爭?   Whatever it is! 除咗怕，你打算點應對? 點樣能夠做到兩手準備? 

如果有日，你盤生意條數唔靚，我問你: 
(1) What has changed? 有乜改變咗? 
(2) Why? 點解? 
And (3) What are you going to do about it? 咁你打算點做? 

你會點回答我? 

我做商舖基金，都有好多嘢怕。 經歷過社運/肺炎， 連舖王鄧成波都話唔係「百年一遇」，係「百年不遇」。 我都好怕個市大上大落。 我亦都好怕個個 shopping online 以後街上無晒人行街。我更加怕以後社會動盪，冇曬遊客來港。 我亦都怕中原/美聯/長實/新鴻基會搞個商舖基金同我直接對撼。但怕有用咩，最緊要能夠做兩手準備。 我爸爸教我: 「永遠要作最壞的打算!」

2021 今年我公司目標要買入港幣五億街舖，沽出兩億，對外集資起碼每季港幣6000萬， 基金派息六七八厘，及年回報達至10%。 每季度我同公司管理層都會 review 以上數字， 稍有偏差，就會問自己以上三個問題: 

(1) What has changed? 
(2) Why? 
(3) What are we going to do about it? 

有乜改變、點解、同我們點辦? 

你盤生意呢? What's keep you awake at night? 

今次一連七集同你分享咗我係哈佛學到嘅 Seven Strategy Questions 七條策略問題: 

(1) Who is your primary customer?  誰是你首要顧客? 
(2) How do your core values prioritize shareholders, employees, and customers? 你的核心價值，公司股東、員工、顧客、邊個行先? 
(3) What critical performance variables are you tracking? 追數，應追邊三條數? 
(4) What strategic boundaries have you set? 公司應有邊「十誡」? 
(5) How are you generating creative tension? 如何令員工在適當壓力下更有創意? 
(6) How committed are your employees to helping each other? 同事們之間有幾願意互相幫助? 
(7) What strategic uncertainties keep you awake at night? 公司有什麼變數令你夜晚瞓唔著呢?

我營運自己全間嘅商舖基金公司都係 based on 以上七條問題辦事，Really! Every single one of them. 希望一連七集，以上七條問題亦對你點做生意有所啟發。

有興趣聽多啲，可就來我六月份最後兩場星期六嘅早餐會啦! 希望到時見到你。Have a good business, have a good life!
