It's human nature to desire friendship, especially with people who can influence your future. In social circles, this makes sense. But in the business world, value makes sense. And building your career on friendship and favours is a weak foundation. Yosef shows us the power of value over friendship in his dealings with Pharoah. Learn to liberate yourself from relying on the fickle goodwill of others - then your Judaism will have ample room to flourish.

There are defining moments in life, when a person takes a stand against authority for their beliefs. Yosef clashed with Pharoah, the ruler of the mightiest nation on the planet. And he came out winning, without relying on goodwill. Learn from Yosef's approach of how & when to take a stand against authority. Despite the difficulties, these encounters help to set your foundation for a solid commitment to Hashem in the workplace.

Nobody likes to be the odd one out. Yarmulkes, tzitzit, kosher, touching restrictions - all of these single out a Jew as different. But these differences help you thrive, precisely because of the social gap! Work is for work, not building friendships. Yosef separated himself as far as he could go to shield his Judaism. He was admired & promoted to the highest levels for his incredible business skills - but he had no interest in garnering Egyptian friendship.

We've delved into the spiritual work that a CEO needs to succeed. But what practical business skills do you need? Through Yosef's story, we learn two qualities that help a person succeed in business - "wisdom" and "understanding". Don't underestimate these qualities - they're not obvious or easy to grasp. Using Hashem's Torah, we can discover the ingredients for building wealth & integrate them into our lives.

We imagine Judaism as something out-of-place at work. Shabbos, kashrus, davening - all these appear to limit us, so we hide our Judaism and steer clear of any challenges. But Yosef flips this around entirely. In the heart of idolatrous Egypt, his relationship to Hashem is on proud display - and it's the cause for his meteoric success! Putting our Judaism on proud display earns us respect & approval for our behaviour. It doesn't hinder us - it helps us fly, in the most practical way possible.

Life rarely goes the way we want it. But if you believe you're serving Hashem faithfully, why does it go wrong? With real faith, the "wrong" turns in your life become your greatest source of growth - Hashem is speaking to you directly, giving you the opportunity to fix what's wrong. Hashem opens the door to have a relationship with Him - and Yosef's unwavering faith teaches us how to build that relationship, through good times and bad.

Yosef shows us the hard-hitting truth that your spiritual actions in this world have serious consequences - not just in the next world, but real effects on your success here. Your success in this world comes from Hashem - the actions that develop, or damage, your relationship with Him, shape your success.

Have you ever worried what your co-workers think of your Judaism? Or been anxious about taking off work for Jewish holidays? When you succeed, do you take the credit or publicly acknowledge Hashem's involvement? We fear that breaking the mold of a classic worker is dangerous to our reputation, damaging to our career. But Yosef shows us that the opposite is true - your relationship with Hashem, when proudly put on public display, is the cause for your success.

Yosef was the greatest Jewish CEO of all time. So how does the Torah introduce him to us? Which character traits are highlighted that were integral to his success? These traits, hidden in plain sight in Rashi's commentary, illuminate the path to success. To join the Jewish Wealth Creation Whatsapp Group, click on this link: https://bit.ly/whatsapp_wealth
Blessing starts with a simple question: "What would be the reason why Hashem would bless me?" If you want to be the conduit for Hashem's blessing, check your personal mitzva observance - does it match the high standard that you want to be blessed with? Hashem chooses his messengers carefully. If you strive for greatness in your personal mitzva observance, then you've opened the door to receive His blessing.

Who's responsible when a project succeeds or fails? Is it the boss's merit or the employee's effort? Do the rules of business also apply to communal work?

An unbridled desire for money can ruin your life. It can create a workaholic that sacrifices everything else valuable and productive, in his/her pursuit of wealth. The Mesilas Yesharim gives us the easy solution to contain this powerful drive and build a meaningful and productive life. Fix times for learning Torah Hashem created a wealth generation framework, where time spent on spiritual pursuits, not only doesn't compromise income generation but can even enhance it. Find out how in this revolutionary episode.

Are you preparing yourself now to receive wealth in your future? Engage with these vital questions to align yourself with Hashem's principles for giving wealth - and open your eyes to the responsibilities that come with it.
Drawing key distinctions between making movey vs. making a living. Rabbeinu Bachaye's timeless teachings deliver fascinating insights about: picking a source of income, determining how much risk to take, and setting a limit on how hard you should work.

Rabbi Treger continues to connect the dots between classic Torah sources to represent a unified, clear approach for businesspeople to partner with Hashem in their striving to create solid, lasting wealth.

What sacrifices should I make to become wealthy? Where does real, lasting wealth come from?
