From the book The Management Methods of Jesus, by Bob Briner:
'There is one thing you can count on in business and in life - tough times will come. The wise manager prepares for them.
Jesus continually prepared His followers for the tough times. Over and over He warned them that the trials would come, both to Him and to them. Some of His sternest rebukes were issued when the disciples refused to heed His warnings about the difficult days ahead.
...All economies are cyclical. There will be downturns, recessions, and maybe even depressions. Financial reserves and an orderly plan for downsizing during these times are often keys to survival.
...Jesus, showing His great wisdom, invested a great deal of His most precious time in teaching and planning for the tough times. So should you.
The high-flying front-runners without reserves and without a plan for the tough times do not survive.'
