Being wrong isn't always bad.

Much of the time when I learn something new, it means I was wrong about something first.

This often leads to new opportunities. For instance, Elevate (our pre-studio incubator) was birthed out of me being wrong about what was possible.

The problem we were facing (and...

You can always tell if a Christian entrepreneur is believing right by what they say.

#1 - If their confession is wrong, their believing is wrong.

#2 - And if their believing is wrong, their thinking is wrong.

#3 - If their thinking is wrong, it because their mind has not been renewed with the Wor...

As Christian entrepreneurs it’s natural to want to align your businesses with a higher-purpose.

But how can you really co-create with God if you’re unclear about His specific plan and purpose for your life … and for your business?

Understanding God's plan and purpose for your life isn’t just inspi...

Don’t confuse a lazy/undisciplined life with work/life balance.

You can work super hard and still have balance.

Just ask the farmer. They comprehend the work principle of seed/harvest. Yet family is a priority.

If you want to succeed and prosper in this life, you’ll have to work very hard, and be...

When you connect the dots between business, purpose, success and faith, how you gather with other believers might change.

I used to gather with mostly strangers every Sunday to hear mostly monologues. 

What I craved was dialog. Especially two-way conversations with other faith-driven founders.

There are two ways to wait on God.

But you must know the difference between the two.

Both require patience and faith. Here’s how it works with me for my business and personal life.

I make a request to God, like for a RevOps strategy to produce certain results. I receive it by faith (take possessi...

What makes a business succeed beyond all expectations? 

I can tell you that achieving extraordinary success isn't just about having a great product or service. It's about having a mindset that's focused on continuous improvement and a willingness to take risks and pursue innovative ideas.

When a business idea comes from God, the following will become true for you.

He will use you and your business as a ministry to the marketplace. The marketplace will become your pulpit.

Fact: There's about a billion people on LinkedIn alone. Start someplace. Start here.

If you are a secret-agent ...

The most dangerous person in a business is an amateur pretending to be an expert.

It's like a child making adult decisions. The results will be devastating.

Whether you are a founder trying to launch a startup or an experienced small business CEO, unless you could land a job tomorrow as a Chief Re...

I've been fixing and growing companies with great (God's) success for 40 years.

I always know what's wrong and what to do. Here's how.

Whether I meet a founder in our Thursday Church for Entrepreneurs zoom call, in Elevate our pre-studio incubator, or in our actual CanaGlobal venture studio, the H...

Why we never fundraise.

- Startup Founders fundraise.
- VCs fundraise.

But we never have and never will.

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.

For anyone feeling stuck in life, you’re not as stuck as you might think.

Faith-driven investors/founders, I’m talking to you.
