“Just stay focused on your world and it will all be fine”

This is commonly said in times of panic. The premise is don’t panic and it will all be alright.

While I agree with the “don’t panic” message, there is something to be said about paying attention to the signs. Know that everything you do in “your world” does impact the rest of the world.

This selfish attitude is what got us to this point. We stopped caring about everything around us because it doesn’t serve us.

By removing everything that “doesn’t serve us” we’ve stopped looking at how we can serve in those same areas.

Unfortunately, this attitude has infested the entrepreneurial world.

“Focus on what serves you to succeed, get rid of everything else!”

This message is repeated over and over by all the gurus in marketing, coaching, etc.

And being that the economy in North America has greatly been run by the entrepreneur of small businesses, this has contributed to the mess we’re about the enter.

The worse part is that this is by design. Because we’re overworked, many work 60-70+ hours a week trying to achieve the American Dream. Both husband and wife working and the kids were shipped to indoctrination camps (schools) and the parents were far too tired to have conversations about what the kids learned that day if they even care.

This is where the biblical patriarchy was supposed to keep us in check.

God
Man
Woman
Children

And the biblical based government was to protect this order.

But when Man is too busy and focused on working to seek God, the family is negatively impacted.

When the women are too busy working to seek God and teach the children, the whole family suffers.

When children are separated from their parents all the time and are not getting spiritually trained by them, the whole world suffers.

When the entire family is impacted this way, they cannot focus on the community around them and how to have a positive impact while serving God.
