While in Milwaukee, I ran into a lady about to jump off a bridge.
 

- She said, do you think God will care if I jump?
- I knew I needed to choose my words carefully ...

I said, Lord please help me help her. The Holy Spirit gave me these 6 promises to share with her.

#1 - Through Christ, your sins are f...

Startup founders and investors are optimistic.

- Yet, 90% fail.
- WHY?

Most often they have confused optimism with wishful thinking.

Wishful thinking is a set of assumptions that have not been fully vetted.

It's a build it and they will come mentality.

The problem: they don't.

Look, investing your time, en...

Iconic entrepreneurs and investors have this in common.

- It's why they co-create together.
- What is it?

They have a forward-thinking sixth sense to see and invest in movements positioned to disrupt an entire industry.

An aerial view of your past, present and future will make or break you.

An aerial view of your life is a God-view of your past, present and future. Without it, you'll have a hard time connecting the dots leading to the future God has planned out for you.

Every iconic entrepreneur I know has a playbook — a thesis for scaling a startup into a high-growth venture.

Their playbook is their secret sauce and they bring into every venture they are invested into.

It gives them an unfair advantage, every-time.

It allows them to ruthlessly focus on a specific pro...

There is a huge difference between ...

- preparing to prosper
- and being-prepared to prosper

Being prepared means you-are-ready.

Preparing means you are trying-to-get-ready ... but not yet ready.

When it comes to your business dreams and goals, which are you?

- A new soldier preparing for battle?
- A se...

Someplace between your God-planted dreams and your destiny is a refinement process called "the fire".

It's hot, but there's a great reward for not quitting God's process of refinement. 

Take a look ...

Psalm 66:10-12 NIV - For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison ...

If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you are a marketplace minister. Period. Jesus referred to us, His church (the people) as His Ekklesia. The marketplace is your pulpit.

The word Ekklesia is the body of Christ assembled to conduct government business. Kingdom business.

I'd like to dissect this reality as a Kingdom entrepreneur ... Failure.

It's inevitable, painful, and manure for your growth.

Success is failure turned inside out. And every entrepreneur who has experienced much success understands this intimately. 

Failure is part of the path to success, it's figuring...
