I recently had a client that I just wanted to quit on.  Several times I attempted to weasel my way out of the deal. I wanted to quit because they were a real pain in the butt.  I totally underquoted them. I didn’t factor for a lot of things and it costs me.  But to make matters worse, the client was abusive and degraded me. Well, that’s how they made me FEEL. We get into contracts and arrangements sometimes that we regret.  We entrepreneurs sometimes have little patience for this and we escape the problem quickly. But what if there was a reason God wanted you there…under that pressure? Is there any good that can come out of being in a seemingly terrible business relationship? The answer might surprise you. The bible says "Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way." James 1:2‭-‬4 MSG God can use any situation to mold and shape you into a better, stronger entrepreneur. Think about a diamond.  It’s under pressure for thousands of years before we get the rock.  Then it needs to undergo cleaning and cutting before you get to put it in a piece of jewelry ready to show the world. In the same way, God is molding and shaping us under pressure. Consider lawsuits, bad contracts, terrible hiring decisions, and mistakes in planning a test…a shaping of your wisdom so you can be a better entrepreneur tomorrow. Imagine a world where, instead of being upset at the bad situation we’re in, we look up and ask God to give us the patience to endure, learn and grow from the trials of entrepreneurship.

(Psalms 37:3‭-‬6 NIV) The anxiety caused by not launching the thing God’s calling you to will set your are in a complete place of trust and security in God within our businesses, we won’t be experiencing anxiety

so much pressure to bring in money for ourselves, so we are more likely to experience depression and anxiety

I’ve suffered in my entrepreneurial career from the frustration of unrealized dreams. There’s so much more I want to do and be, and at times I let my mind get stuck in a pattern of anger, disappointment and failure because of where I’m at now and where I want to be. I am naturally an ambitious visionary, and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s actually my gifting. What’s wrong is when I allow my mind to live and exist in that space in the future. It’s fine to go there in your mind in terms of vision planning; it’s not fine to stay stuck there. Why? Because it’s fake. It’s not reality. It’s not today. It’s tomorrow, and today has its beauty. God never guaranteed us tomorrow, only what we have now. When we live in ambition, we rob ourselves of what’s most important: serving the people that He’s put around us today, TODAY. The Bible says: "A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished." (proverbs 28:20) Again, there is nothing wrong with healthy discontent of where we’re at financially or in rankings, but we cannot always live in the world of our aspirations; sometimes we must live in the world of our present circumstances. Has your ambition gotten you down? Are you angry with God for the realities you face from day to day? Do you need a way out of your failure and disappointment? What is your greatest ambition? Are you willing to let it go to serve God fully and wholly today in and through your business? You are masterful and wonderful today. You are doing better than you think you are. The only reason you don’t feel good today is because you’re trying to live in a non existent future version of your business, and that’s not God’s design. Today, there are clients and employees that believe in you most. Gaining their approval and satisfaction is more important than your aspirations. Godpreneurs always do their best TODAY, knowing that God will lift us up and never let us fail. #NewEntrepreneurs #EnhanceFocus
