While at a men's retreat, the speaker talked extensively about depression and anxiety. He then explained that anxiety is when we're stressed or worried about something in the future. Anxiety over things we cannot control or out of our reach makes no sense (Matthew 6:27). His context here is about the emotions of fear and anxiety.

Stop the pity party, stop the depression, stop the anxiety and worry, just stop it.

I’m horrible at accounting. Ok, let me rephrase this.  I took finance and accounting in Cornell and lets just say that I loved the marketing and business organization classes better. In the early days of my company, I ran us into a lot of financial problems.  Backed taxes, overpaying employees, bad accounts receivable, you name the financial mistake, I did it. But I never admitted it to anyone. Mr. Cornell business graduate needs to know everything there is about business and can’t look like a failure. Only my accountant knew the extent of the problems. He tried to sell me on a monthly package where I would come in for consulting but I always declined it and committed to doing better that year.  Things got worst. We have difficulty accepting help from others. It makes us feel weak, incompetent, and vulnerable. Receiving help requires letting go of my self-sufficiency – even if it’s just for a moment, its uncomfortable. Instead of feeling vulnerable, many of us prefer to hide behind a mask of confidence and capability. Sadly, this affects our relationships with our employees, business partners, vendors who want to help, our customers, and even God. Sometimes we have it so “together” that it’s hard for anyone to see we are Christians and we need a Savior. We may think we are being strong, but when we fail to admit our needs and struggles, our employees and partners are often reluctant to share theirs. They may feel inadequate in comparison and compelled to hide behind their own masks. This verse in the bible has helped me tremendously grow as an entrepreneur: “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) When I realized that all God wanted from me was for me to admit my need for Jesus, then He could begin helping me out. Furthermore, when I showed others my need for Jesus, I was allowing God to work through them to help me out. In 2014 I hired an accounting agency to meet with me every week.  Money is an area of weakness for me, and now my employees know and they step up to help with accounting too.  Since meeting with my accounting firm, my profits have gone up 4000%.  Yes, you’re reading four-thousand.  It’s incredible what God can do when we admit our weaknesses. Godpreneurs, ask God to reveal where you’ve been depending on yourself instead of Him and remember He often meets our needs through others…even the lowliest employee on your team.

There are two areas in my entrepreneurial walk that still trip me up sometimes and I’m constantly having to work on: worry and envy. The envy creeps in when I check out social media and start to see others doing cooler things than me or advancing their businesses further than mine. The worry shows up sometimes as a result of the envy, but mostly when I’m overloaded with ideas, responsibilities and tasks to take care of. We all worry and envy sometimes, especially in business and entrepreneurship. God wants us to walk in His peace having faith that He is in control. When we do not surrender our business desires to God, worry and jealousy creep in. This threatens to damage our relationship with God because we’re removing Him from the equation. You go from being a Godpreneur back to Me-preneur. In owning a business, God allows us to experience various situations that provoke both worry (such as worrying about where the next client will come from) and envy (when we are jealous of the accomplishment of other people in our field). But, entrepreneurship also provides many exciting opportunities to submit ourselves (and employees if you have) to God and to grow in our relationship with Christ. When we do that, we are freed from the burdens of worry and jealousy! Here is a very practical way to get rid of worry, and it comes from the bible. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). Every morning the first thoughts in my mind are to name 3 things I’m thankful for. It has to be the first thoughts. You’ll be half asleep but do it. And every day I try to remember to pray that I would submit my business to God and walk in His peace. #WheretoStartFirst #WorkLifeBalance
