When you become a follower of Jesus Christ, this biblical promise should change how you set goals.

“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glor...

As I begin my 40th year as a faith-driven entrepreneur, I’m committed to share all that I’ve learned.

There are 5 predictable stages when it comes to hitting your revenue goals.

If you are climbing the entrepreneurial mountain, most founders will go through these 5 predictable stages before they h...

Welcome to your future.

As investors/founders who are full of faith and spirit-filled, we’re all on a journey to a proverbial Jericho, a dream God has planted in our hearts.

Those not faith driven or spirit-filled are warmly welcomed. Come with us.

We all began with a simple idea that has taken o...

There are two gospels in Christianity.

- Low-expectation gospel
- High-expectation gospel

The one who hears the Word of God and believes, and then takes action that mirrors his belief, builds a solid foundation that will withstand every life-storm. This is high-expectation faith.

The one who doesn...

There is one reason why you are not generating your desired business results.

You don’t know how.

If you knew how, you’d have different results.

All iconic entrepreneurs (including me) have learned this, mostly the hard way.

If you reject this logic, it’s at your own peril. (the definition of in...

To those of you praying for God to do something for you.

Everything God is ever going to do for you has already been done.

What? Doesn’t God see your need?

Yes He does. So let me say it again. Everything God is ever going to do for you has already been done. It has been finished through His blood...

Startup Founder: OMG, we’re running out of runway.

God: You’re a Cessna not a Boeing 747.

God: Take off and sell something!

If you feel like your startup is running out of runway, remember - you're a small, nimble craft, not a large, slow-moving airliner.

This agility is your greatest asset. And...

As an entrepreneur, there is no such thing as 'fake it till you make it'.

There is only a willingness to fail, until you learn how to succeed.

Stop pretending and focus on learning what works and what doesn’t.

Quit worrying about what the spectators are saying. Only players score points.

The majority of entrepreneurs are nurturing a false identity.

Two of them are false and a complete waste of time.

Which one are you nurturing?

#1 - Projected Image - How you want others to see you

#2 - Perceived Image - How others actually see you

#3 - Actual Image - How God sees you

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.

As a VC, I’m often more excited about a venture’s RevOps blueprint, than their so-called great idea.

Why?

Because there are always a surplus of great ideas (products and services) which will go absolutely nowhere fast (no matter how much they raise) all because they lack a real plan to take it to ...

Who disconnected the dots between business, purpose, success and faith?

Hint: It wasn’t God.

One of my favorite New Testament faith-driven entrepreneurs was the Apostle Paul.
