Are You Maximizing Your Potential?
Violet Williams says, “I want to help people achieve their dreams. When all of that comes together at the end, it’s really exhilarating."
With a doctorate in management and foundation in engineering and applied mathematics, Violet has thrived as an industrial engineer and automotive industry executive. She says her success is driven by her commitment to living out God’s principles of tithing and giving.
She points to Malachi 3 in the Bible.
“Malachi, chapter 3 verses 10 through 12, 'bring you all the tithe into the storehouse so that there's meat in my house, Behold, I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing.' He said, ‘Prove Me!’”
Graduating college and in her first career job, Violet was recruited by a car manufacturer and began tithing.
“Every day is a new adventure and a new battle. I love seeing the cars roll off. Everyone has a position to play and a role to ensure success. It’s a team effort.”
During her tenure, Violet was often promoted becoming a lifelong pattern of advancements. By 2013, she had worked her way up to a senior management position, quality director for a vehicle assembly plant.
“My salary rose 500% from what I was earning as a new college graduate in development. The secret of the Lord is with those who feared him. And he’ll show them his covenant. Tithing, is an integral part of who I am. And it's an act of obedience and worship. I want God’s secrets. I want his innovative ideas.”
Then in 2016, after nearly 30 years in the industry, God led Violet to start her own business, Vision Quality Consulting, LLC.
“It was the strangest thing, God said to leave. ‘I want you to do other things. I'm getting ready to enlarge your territory.’”
“I've always wanted to build quality systems from the ground up, working with suppliers I was able to do that. And within that time, I received this phone call out of the blue. They told me they will lose their contract on four different models if they don't transfer and upgrade and convert their quality system. They asked me, ‘Would you consider it?”
She said yes, and through Violet’s consulting, the business remained in contract and turned around.
Reflecting on this experience, Violet goes on to say, “It just seemed to really come together in a positive, manner. I love the last seven, eight years going into corporations, partnering with CEOs, presidents, general managers, and going to help them optimize their processes. God allowed me to leverage that. That’s God’s favor and it’s not lost on me, makes we wanna tear up. It’s God.”
Today, in addition to consulting, Violet shifted her professional skills and experience into a new career—real estate.
“He told me, ‘Utilize all the corporate transfers. What you had to learn every time you had to build another house. All of those insights that you have, use that as well.’”
Through it all, violet continues to tithe. She also became a CBN Partner inspired by CBN’s commitment to truth. She loves seeing how her donations are helping people around the world.
“I started taping CBN and just watching it every day, I was like a sponge, and I was hooked instantly.”
“I know that CBN is good ground to sow in. For me personally, CBN is like a bastion of hope.
They're always there on the spot during natural disasters. I love what they're doing with Orphans Promise.”
“Your heart can go places that you can't go. Your spirit can go through sowing a seed and being consistent and being willing to give.”
With every season she credits all to honoring God in tithing,
“You have to become a tither and a giver to maximize the potential that God has created you for. You limit God when you don't obey him. You've got to give God a chance to prove Himself.”
“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” Will you partner with CBN and help plant generously around the world?
