#FindingMyCalling #NewEntrepreneur

I struggle with an identity crisis all the time. Who am I as an entrepreneur? We all do this. It’s in our nature. 

heart, and you’re not taking the steps (work) TODAY to bring that to reality, you’re missing out on the calling

Here is the good news: be encouraged that God equips us specifically to do the things He has called us reverse is also true – when we try to start a business other than what God has enabled us to do, we fall outside His entrepreneurial design for us and we are destined to fall short.

And that inner identity comes from a caller, who has called the entrepreneur for a purpose, and that Now, they see it as an extension of their own identity, and some even accept it as their calling by God We all have services or products that can easily be commoditized.  

A very common response is, “How do I figure out what God’s calling is for my business?” that question, I’ve been able to guide my clients on the trajectory of launching a business they feel CALLED And one phone call or meeting with me might not be enough time to uncover it. I wrote a book called Discovering Your Calling as an Entrepreneur. Even though we may not know God’s calling today, as we wait on God to make that picture more clear, we

When they testify that I’ve helped clarify their calling in business, the vision is satisfied and my

Some years back, I realized that I didn’t like entrepreneurship anymore. I knew I couldn’t just stop and close up my shop . I wasn’t just going there and getting a job. But I knew I couldn’t stay where I was. So, I looked at my business model and said to myself, “Do I really want to live like this for another 10 years?” When I get pounced and tossed by these thought of quitting, I picture Paul from the bible. Paul learned the lesson of contentment in extenuating circumstances. As he wrote Philippians, he was in jail, had no money, and was near execution; but he still found joy in Christ. Paul’s joy didn’t come from improved circumstances. It came from living according  the truth rather than buying into the lies of the world, the flesh, and Satan. It’s the same for you and your business. Remember, the secret of Godpreneurship is you walking the marketplace like Christ – in the Spirit, worshiping God by doing what you were born to do. Let’s do something about that, following the pattern Paul laid out in Romans 12:1-2: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will." LIES Out of the eight entrepreneurial lies we’ve uncovered, identify the ones that are most pressing on your business right now: Entrepreneurship is irrelevant Owning a business is the only way to be happy Your business will complete you You can handle it on your own Getting a 9-5 is an option Working more is better for your children Your business is hopeless Godpreneurship isn’t worth it TRUTHS Read the truths that replace the lies that you find directly affecting you: Entrepreneurship is divine, timeless, and significant Solo-preneurship is a gift to cherish or a season to enjoy Christ is the only one who can complete you You need outside help to handle your business Getting a 9-5 is only an option in certain extreme cases Time with kids is far more important than time in the business God offers hope and restoration for your business A godly entrepreneur will bring Him glory and bless the business immensely Now, take both the lies and the truths to the Holy Spirit and ask that He would do the work that only He can do. Spirit, show me, right now, the lies that are oppressing my business. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke Satan who is the father of those lies. I reject the lies as destructive and wrong. Renew my mind. Replace the lies with life-giving Truth. Reveal to me now specific changes that You want to make in my attitude and my actions. I surrender to You now. Live through me, moment by moment today, according to Your truth. Amen!!! Reflection: What lies about business and entrepreneurship have I believed? What is God specifically saying to me about these lies? What will I do about it?
