# Prepare Your Fields

[Leadership](https://www.mattcclarke.com/daily-grind/tag/leadership)

Proverbs 24:27 says "Do your planning and prepare your fields before you build your home."

Proverbs 24:27 says "Do your planning and prepare your fields before you build your home."

As I read this today I thought of so many different applications.

Some work and business-related:

- Have a plan and a budget before you start a project.
- Plan your work in advance and then work your plan.
- Take care of the basics, before working on the big things.

Some heart-related:

- Imagine the things in life you desire and prepare your heart for the process.
- Ensure your environment is good, nourishing, and fertile so your family can grow and be strong.
- Have a vision, test that vision with others, and then have the courage to bring it to reality.

I’m curious, what comes to mind when you read this verse?
