Staying the Course In Business: Part 6 – Quitters Lose Out on This
Updated: Dec 28, 2020
I’ve been at this entrepreneurship stuff since 2005. That’s the year I collected my last paycheck and set out on this exciting journey.
It wasn’t until 13 years later when I finally realized the definition of success in entrepreneurship. Success is NOT making your first Million Dollars. Succeeding is NOT owning a big multi-national corporation with 100 employees. Finding success is NOT paying off all my college loans.
In entrepreneurship, success comes down to one thing: not quitting.
We are so easily distracted by what society deems as successful: fancy cars, nice watches, and fat stacks of $100 dollar bills thrown out on a bed to lay in.
But all of those things aren’t as powerful as what I’ve discovered to be the anchor of success in business.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 23:3-4,
“But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the LORD.
What I’ve come to learn from walking with God and consuming every word from the Bible through the lens of an entrepreneur’s walk is that God gives richer blessings to the Godpreneur that remains faithful.
This verse in Jeremiah gives us a good clue:
Faithful Godpreneurs will have no fear.
Faithful Godpreneurs will lack for nothing.
Faithful Godpreneurs will be fruitful.
Faithful Godpreneurs will increase.
Do you want to feel successful in your business? Stop chasing the things or this world and focus on your obedience to the calling God has called you to: business ownership. If you haven’t quit, if you’re waiting on God, and if you have faith that He will provide, then you are already more successful than 90% of the marketplace. You’re going better than you think you are!
We are all interested in increasing. Godpreneurs should all desire to be fruitful – to lend and not borrow. We should not be afraid. God says these blessings come to those who remain faithful and stay the course out of Godpreneurship.
No matter what, do not give up on your entrepreneurial dream. Remain faithful, because God promises great blessings to Godpreneurs who stay the course in their business.
Godpreneur Rule: Godpreneurs stay faithful, committed, and obedient.
