Great faith requires understanding authority
Daily Word - To accomplish your entrepreneurial calling, you are going to need great faith. However, most of us have little to no Faith, thus we are not seeing results. One of the main reasons our faith is so weak is because we do not understand authority. God has placed various human relationships in our lives to teach us authority; however, Satan and modern culture are fighting hard to create a generation of believers who rebel against authority in all forms. Thus, we are in danger of significantly weakening our faith because we don't understand authority through our rejection of authority. Links - Join, Partner

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

The "right look" is not required for leadership

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

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.
