All entrepreneurs have these grand visions of seeing our products and services succeed.   That very same day, after declaring that morning that I wanted to be used by God, 3 POTENTIAL clients called -14 “I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all But how do we know that the next 3 phone calls are going to be the ones?   That day I spoke with the 3 clients that confirmed my direction, all 3 of them dropped clues of their

We do this by, first, making it very clear that to have a calling on your life, there must be a ‘caller I tell you this to say that we are all united under one message and one cause: spread our message. Those who believed the gospel were all together and had everything in common. Usually this is called your mission, vision or purpose statements.  All together, these form the key message you’re putting out.

We’ll work through all the products and services they see, all the markets they could serve, and where I don’t call then stupid!  I just simplify it down to what we can do TODAY.   We’re so focused looking ahead that, if we don’t take the next careful step, we could trip or fall into Here’s a man with a BIG MISSION and VISION: let all the Jews and gentiles know about Jesus.   All such boasting is evil.

I have a list to review at least once a week of all the crazy things God has come through within my business

Me…unhappy.  Others…happy. My friend taught me this Chinese proverb. When I’m focused on me, my wants, my desires, and what am I getting out of this, I’m unhappy. When I’m focused on giving value to others, being detail oriented on my client’s projects, finishing the job to the end, over delivering on my promise, and providing great customer communication and service, I’M HAPPY. It’s true!  This isn’t some magic trick or Hocus Pocus.  If I really sit down and analyze any relationship I’m in, if I’m focused on me and my selfish desires, I’m not really happy.  I may think I am, but I’m not. In 2016 I went through a long season of really focusing in on delivering amazing products and experiences to my clients.  When I’m working on my clients, I’m happy.  When I’m focused on figuring out how I can win and benefit from something, I’m unhappy.  It’s weird, but true. As entrepreneurs, we have the ultimate stage to be happy by providing an unbelievable wow experience to our prospects and clients. On the same hand, we have the biggest propensity to lose sight of that and become the most unhappy people in life because we’re focused on how we’re going to pay our bills, reach our goals, accomplish our dreams, and rise to the top. The way to the top is through serving others first: employees, vendors, contractors, prospects, and clients.  Their needs, wants and desires need to be met before ours. In the book of Acts, chapter 7, we encounter Stephen, first martyr of Christianity and a deacon in the early church at Jerusalem.  He aroused the enmity of members of various synagogues by his teachings. Here’s the thing.  He could have kept his knowledge to himself.  He could have focused on his safety and well-being, because preaching about Jesus could get you killed.  But…it wasn’t about him.  He knew this.  It was about others knowing about Jesus.  That’s what brought him joy and happiness, even to death. You and I probably won’t die for talking about Jesus.  But the point I’m trying to convey here is that Stephen, like us, had something he believed in so much, and he wanted nothing more than OTHERS to know it and be transformed by it. Isn’t that how you feel about your product or service? As Godpreneurs, we need to keep our focus on what results our product has on others, and keep on teaching and sharing and testifying what we know about the life changing experience others will have when they do business with us. Godpreneur Rule #62: Godpreneurs focus on others, not themselves. #BusinessBibleStudy

I know my calling is to help others discover what they were born to do. times I feel stuck, busy bringing in business and doing client work but not out there doing what I feel called Sometimes we entrepreneurs know what our calling is, but we’re stuck on taking the next steps to bringing Some of us have our 9-5 jobs, but our dreams keep calling us to the freedom of pursuing what we feel (if you don’t know, then you first need to pick up my book Discovering Your Calling as an Entrepreneur

Afraid they wouldn’t have great content to contribute Afraid they’d bring on too much work, so it would all wrote to The Ephesians, this great pep talk exit: "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all But for those of us that have been called to this, it’s time to stand up and answer the calling of taking our gifts and talents to all new levels. Are you trading time for money when you know you have a calling to go BIG LEAGUES with something?

workers — especially evangelists, missionaries, pastors, priests, ministers and the like — have a higher calling In the Bible, God calls individuals both to church-related and non-church-related business. All Godpreneurs are called (that is, commanded) to conduct everything they do, round the clock, as full-time the people God has called to full time Christian work, you should also be thankful God has put you in We need to continue to hear his call in our business life and learn from other Christian business owners

I think to myself “how am I going to get this all done”. That’s how I realized I had a huge calling over my life. It scares me. It drives me. He told him, at 75 years of age, that He would give him a son, and that through him all nations would

It seems like the closer I get to the Vision that God has for my entrepreneurial career, the fight to stay on track gets tougher. Something out there doesn’t want you to succeed. It could be our own minds and self-limiting beliefs.  It could be our lack of faith.  It could be that we know the easy route, and it’s more comfortable to continue with the status quo. Here is what I know:  the longer you prolong God’s vision for your entreprenurial life, the more frustrated you will be over time. Fight to not feel frustrated. #EnhanceFocus #IncreaseEnergy

When I first started my entrepreneurial career, I didn’t get rich quickly. In fact, I suffered for over a decade (yes, 10 years). I struggled to pay bills, keep up with school loans, and hire and keep good talent. I changed business models almost every year trying to get out of debt, enjoying life and feeling like I’ve succeeded. Maybe I could finally pay for my parent’s dinner instead of them paying for mine. Although I struggled, I refused to accept that a 9-5 job was what I needed to do. I refused to give into the comfort of a steady paycheck. As a maturing entrepreneur and growing born-again Christian, I learned to trust God, and his promises, one of which says, “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). And there are more promises where that came from. I meditate frequently on God’s promises. Why? Because nothing is for certain, and nothing in business lasts forever. What has been and always will be is God’s promises. During my entire entrepreneurial life, I spent much time looking for certainty and fulfillment in and through my business when in reality God is asking me to find that certainty and fulfillment in Him. He’s given me promises that say so! Praise the Lord, He brought me (and continues to bring me) through times of uncertainty and feeling purposeless. The Bible says "But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world." 1 John 4:4 NLT There are times when God gets you out of debt and flourishes your business and times when He allows suffering for His glory. But no matter what, you need to trust in His promises for rest, peace, and victory in Jesus’ name. Because it’s in His promises that you can find hope no matter what you go through. Our minds need to be set on God’s promises for our lives and business, in order for us to continue living in purpose and passion, even through the storm. I pray the Lord to give entrepreneurs full hope in His promises for rest, peace, and ultimate victory through Jesus Christ today. #EnhanceFocus #FindingMyPurpose VIDEO COURSE AVAILABLE!
