Most new entrepreneurs feel unequipped. 

There are 2-paths to getting equipped. 

The first. Decide if you're going to reject God's help and learning His way of entrepreneurship. Will you become a faith-driven founder?

It's easy to become discouraged, thinking things will never work out. 

Especially for entrepreneurs. Here's what they miss. 

- You are not defined by your failure. 
- Instead, you are prepared by it. 

Thomas Edison failed 2000 times trying to...

God always multiplies what you already have. 

Here's how.

He did it with the water to wine miracle 
He did it with feeding the 5000 

This is one of the faith principles I've learned over the past 40 years as a serial entrepreneur. 

If I offer up my life...

You decided to start a business. Great! 

Build it with God, here's how and why. 

There are two types of faith-driven founders.  

- those who try to bootstrap 
- those who try to raise capital  

Both have become obsessed with a problem ...

Most entrepreneurs never make money. 

But everyone who really wants to, can.  

Every founder at some point musters up the courage to leave the 9-5 and pursue what most would call the new American dream — entrepreneurship.  

It's the pursuit of freedom...

Every founders' original idea is flawed. 

If you go-to-market before you do this, you're screwed! 

Every entrepreneur launching a business starts out with an idea. What most don't know is that the idea is deeply flawed.  

They all are — at first...

Imposter syndrome is negative self-talk.

It's a big lie that should be reversed.

You are actually rehearsing your failure. Instead you need to reverse it.

Don't rehearse it. Reverse it.

Anytime you aim higher than your past limited experiences, you will experience what many...

I've prayed two different ways in my life. I've prayed hoping God would answer my prayers and I've prayed expecting God to answer my prayers. Someplace between my dreams and my destiny, something changed.

Growing up I always knew God COULD do anything for me, but I wasn't...

I don't trust anyone

Unless they have a slight limp.

I need to know they've been through the fire.

That's where all of us are refined. In the fire.

So if you're going through the fire right now, consider it God's finishing school.

Whatever God allows, He'll use it to refine you, and prosper...

One day I had this revelation — about partnering with God.

If I'm going to co-create with God, because my startup dreams are from God — then He's my business partner.

For me it changed everything about becoming the faith-driven founder/investor He has created...

Before a business finally takes off. 

Here's what most miss. 

The reality is most businesses are like the Chinese bamboo plant. It barely grows above ground — for its first four years. 

You hardly see anything happening. 

Even though your water it, fertilize it,...

As a faith-driven founder, this is success defined.
