Five-week Guide for Study Groups Entrepreneurship: Bring Your Vision to Life
To gain the most from the book Entrepreneurship: Bring Your Vision to Life it is highly recommend that you work it through it with another person or with a study group. Small groups are a wonderful place to share, learn, challenge one another, pray, and celebrate. The group could be made up of friends or associates—anyone interested in thinking about what matters most in their lives and how they will achieve it.
Consider gathering a group of people from your church or a Bible study who want to join you in exploring how God might be leading them as individuals or collectively to achieve something special in their lives and the lives of others.
In other words, though Bring Your Vision to Life is written for individuals, it is equally applicable for groups of people who want to work on a collectively shared vision. This could be married couples, business partners, or people seeking a new direction for their church or organization.
Bring Your Vision to Life contains twenty-five chapters to be completed over twenty-five days. For the study group to integrate with this, I suggest that the group meet once a week over five weeks. The first meeting is introductory and will open ideas and get the group members into the topic. The remaining four sessions work through the rest of the book
Logistics
It is advised that you to appoint a group leader who will handle logistics, set the tone of the meeting, keep it on track, and lead it forward. It would be best to meet in a comfortable environment where participants feel free to express themselves. That might be a breakfast or afternoon tea in your or another participant’s home. Keep the sessions to a predetermined length of time.
An atmosphere of confidentiality is essential, because people will be sharing their deepest dreams and desires. Remember that each person’s vision is different. Don’t judge whose vision is the biggest or smallest, or the best. Each person is different and is led in a different way. Accordingly, we see the needs in the world differently. A vision that may seem insignificant to others is extremely important to the person who holds it. And it may be momentous in bringing needed redemption and transformation to people’s lives. Therefore, I would challenge the study group members to joyfully endorse the visions and plans of others.
One other tip: each week you have a lot of questions to answer, and you may not make it through them. It might be helpful to extend the study beyond four weeks in order to give you adequate time to exhaust the questions. You decide.
And lastly, while I propose a structure for the group study, please adapt it and make it relevant for your group. Modify as necessary.
