I go through seasons in my entrepreneurial career. There’s a season where I expand on my ideas and bring them to life. Then there’s a season where I’ve pulled back on the expansion to hunker down on what I have in front of me and I'm waiting on the next move. But I get frustrated in the season of waiting. I’m not done with all the ideas I want to bring to life. I have the plans all written out, the right people to call, and the enthusiasm and determination to get them done, but something is saying “wait”. (And one time I ignored the call to wait and lost a whole lot of money.  That’s a different story for another blog post.) We entrepreneurs are visionary, which makes us impulsive at times.  We’re very connected to the spirit, that inner ‘feeling’ or gut instinct that guides us. Sometimes our own desires get in the mix of the gut feeling and we rush into things prematurely. But what if this waiting period was actually meant to be a period of growth….inner growth. Maybe this is a time that God is calling you to be much closer to Him than ever before! I learned something profound while participating in a Bible study of the book of Acts. God had the apostles wait 10 days in Jerusalem after Jesus’s death before sending them out to spread the gospel. Acts 1:4‭-‬5 in the Bible reads: On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.  For John baptized with  water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” The apostles knew the plan, knew what they had to do, but were commanded to wait. You may have these amazing plans of reaching so many new customers with your amazing product or service. Your offering might even be something ministry-related that will help the church so much! But God sometimes asks us to wait….to build us up, make us stronger, bless us with an anointing that we needed to receive or a lesson we needed to learn. We Godpreneurs can think that it’s all GO, GO, GO all the time, that there’s no time to waste, that we must ACT NOW! Can I share with you that the most growth I have done spiritually is in the season of waiting, hunkering down, stacking chips, refining my process, calling my customers more, providing more value, but most importantly, gaining more insight into the person of God…while I wait on His next move for me.

That being said, I would then look at my business as playing a lesser role in the grand scheme of things In the Bible, God calls individuals both to church-related and non-church-related business. Non-church business ownership is as much “full-time Christian service” as church work. Businesses of this sort might be the lesser of two evils in some situations. We need to continue to hear his call in our business life and learn from other Christian business owners

My former business partner and I used to get into huge fights. As I’ve matured in Business leadership, I know that clear and effective communication is important. And when I get angry in business (it’s rare now), I realize it communicates a lack of self-control and I expect Christian business leaders around me to fail—don’t you? So when we fail in business, God is not angry.

Now I sell the bigger picture: I help people and businesses find out what there were born to do. I did a Business bible study called 7 Steps to Launching Your Christian Personal Brand.

I also recognized the business opportunity that would be afforded to me. God wants to do the same for each of our businesses. (Psalms 40:1‭-‬4 NIV) Waiting in our businesses isn’t a curse. It’s a blessing. Godpreneur rule: Godpreneurs wait patiently on God for our next business move. Grow Your Business, God’s Way!

As owners of our businesses, we entrepreneurs are so used to leading our organizations that we feel we This is significant to you because you don’t have to do anything in your business to earn God’s love. We just need to submit to his authority and let him lead every area of our personal and business life When we take the passenger seat let Jesus drive our businesses we can rest. We can now ask ourselves “Is Jesus Lord over this business decision?”

Many of us Godpreneurs want to find that inner peace Jesus promises and improve our business lives. As business owners, we tend to live by correcting past mistakes or planning out future moves. Meanwhile, we neglect the one moment that is fully available to us business owners: the present...the He's not saying you can't or shouldn't make wise plans for your business. If we did this, we would see how dramatically our business lives will improve.

Lust isn’t just for sexual desires, it can be for our desires in business too! This starts to consume your mind and overwhelm your soul’s purpose in business.
