A competitor offered me the CEO role at their company. It’s a pattern that has repeated itself 5x.

The offers have come from competitors and turnaround clients. Eventua...

Should you bootstrap or raise capital to launch and grow your business?

It's the chicken or the egg dilemma for most entrepreneurs.

Short answer: You should prepare for both.

Founders who enter into a state of investor readiness are the most prepared. It's like they focused on preparing for the p...

Startup Founders fundraise. VCs fundraise.

Why we never fundraise.

As faith-driven investors/founders God’s our provider. Not man.

God has given us a disruptive solution when it comes to growing a venture and co-creating with other investors and founders.

- We have a revenue solution.
- We have a...

Why do so many small businesses stall out around $2M in revenue?

First, only 7% of small businesses ever make it past $1M in revenue. So if that's you, congrats! 

I know the journey to $1M wasn't easy!

When you're at $1M in revenue, you can't afford to hire the most qualified marketing and sales ...

The first time one of my companies made the INC 500, something unexpected happened.

I got an invitation that changed the rest of my life.

I was praying to God and He asked me, "Do you want to partner with me?"

I said yes.

That was the first time one of my ventures made the list of the fastest gr...

Never surrender your God-planted dreams to defeat.

Especially entrepreneurial dreams.

God is raising up millions of entrepreneurs — all over the world.

Why?

Because when millions of entrepreneurs are driven by faith, purpose, freedom and the Kingdom of God … they change the world.

But the path ...

In the last 30 days, 21,075 entrepreneurs and investors have visited my website from LinkedIn. Why? I do something every day that drives traffic.

Everyday I write a post on LinkedIn to my target audience:

- new entrepreneurs
- solopreneurs

- small business ceos
- lik...

Every few months I start over. It’s become part of my entrepreneurial secret sauce.

What do I mean? I take a few days to pause and reassess:

- my long vision
- my short vision
- my projects
- my priorities
- my path
- my relationships

I take everything that I’m doing, all my activities, actions and to...

Do you know about The Secret Power (anointing) of I AM?

God chooses who He chooses.

And this makes others mad as hell.

When God chose King David, he was just a teen.

Nevertheless, God chose David for a big job.

A David versus Goliath job.

Make no mistake, the battle was about power, politics a...

Regarding Biblical prosperity: Do we seek prosperity to help finance the work of God, or to enjoy the luxuries of life?

- big houses
- showy cars
- expensive clothes
- fancy food
- lavish entertainment

I've learned we have to keep our motives and priorities straight, that there must be a balance and c...

I’ve found this to be so true in life. 

God gives us both prosperity and adversity.

He knows how much and how long.

Instead of living for the future, live in the present.

Learn to profit from both pain and pleasure, the trials and the triumphs of life.

This balance keeps you humble and from get...
