Stop judging your success by "normal" standards
Pastoral Chat - As entrepreneurs, we are not normal people. For example, we trade in successful corporate careers for the untested promise of starting our own projects. Because we are not normal, we have to stop judging ourselves by normal standards of success; we may not own our own home by age 30 or have a fully-funded retirement plan. When we judge ourselves by what normal society says success should look like, it distracts us from our calling. Embrace your non-normal calling from God. He has created you to uniquely follow the path of your calling, which won't have the trappings of "normal" success. Watch today's Pastoral Chat to further explore this idea. Links - Join, Partner

There is not a right or wrong answer to your situation

The "right look" is not required for leadership
Daily Word - To lead, you don't need to lose weight, dye your hair, change your eye color, or do anything else society finds attractive. Your ability to lead is not based on what's attractive to society, but the anointing that's on your life. This is critical to know because if you think (or even slightly think) your ability to lead is tied to looking like what society finds attractive, then you will fail. Links - Join, Partner

Deviating from your calling (even for noble reasons) opens the door for destruction in your life

Family and friends don't have your faith
Daily Word - When family and friends don't see immediate results from your entrepreneurial calling, they may give you the advice to quit. Why? Because they don't have the faith to handle the challenge of your calling. Everyone's entrepreneurial calling is filled with challenges, and it requires faith to handle that. However, your family and friends weren't given the faith for your calling. God gave you the faith for it. So don't get upset when others don't support or have faith in what God has called you to do.

Speak the desired outcome (not the details)
Daily Word - Do you want the things you desire to happen with less stress and faster?

This subtle switch takes the pressure off you and allows God room to work on your behalf. Links - Join, Partner

Although it is tempting to seek their counsel because they are so successful, we should avoid doing so. Links - Join, Partner
Rejoicing with others is a key to winning
Daily Word - So, here is a problem, I am browsing through social media, and I see someone having the success I desire to have.

What did Jesus say about divorce and remarriage
Daily Word - Divorce and remarriage are two of the most disputed topics in the body of Christ. Some say you should never get a divorce and, if you do, you can never be remarried.

Success speed depends on obedience speed
Daily Word - There is a popular saying among Christians: "I am just waiting on God."
