Faith-driven Founders and Investors, if you want victory in your work-life and home-life, you’re going to have to fight for it.

Victory only comes through battle, so you’re going to have to learn how to fight the enemy with the power and authority already inside you.

Fear and unbelief MUST go.

For entrepreneurs, there’s a fine line between failing and failure.

When you are failing, life’s warning you that what you are doing, the way you are doing it, isn’t working.

Failing is a warning:

- You are about to crash.
- Correct your course now.

If you ignore the warning, you will crash, peri...

If you could see God’s plan for your life, you’d be jumping for joy.

But you probably can’t, so it’s easy to get weighed down by what you see.

I don’t have to tell you that this life is a walk by faith, not by sight.

So how do you stay positive?

By being very careful about your thought life.

If you’re a startup founder seeking VC, you should be attracting investors to you.

But not by sending unsolicited in-mails or emails. That’s just spam.

No one likes getting these, and they never work.

Instead you should be creating daily content on LinkedIn and attracting future investors to you....

As a faith-driven founder, have you checked your expectations lately?

It might be time for a healthy reset.

Here’s why I ask.

There’s a HUGE difference between you thinking God might or can help you accomplish your dreams and goals, and knowing 100% that He will.

It’s one thing to know God has t...

If you are a faith-driven founder growing a Kingdom venture, you’ll have to learn how to develop the faith that moves mountains.

If you tolerate unbelief, the entrepreneurial mountain will take you out.

To begin with, unbelief makes God a liar and questions the dependability of His Word.

Our resp...

When you believe that the Bible is the inerrant infallible Word of God, this becomes true.

- This is my Bible.
- I am who it says I am.
- I have what it says I have.
- I can do what it says I can do.

I can read and study it myself, I don’t need clergy or a dead theologian to tell me what it means, th...

Build it and they will come?

Nope. They don’t. You'll starve.

I’ve been starting and growing things for 39 years.

And real life isn’t like Field of Dreams. That’s a movie.

In real life your segments will only know about you if you tell them.

You’ll have to figure out a Demand Generation strateg...

I’m an optimist, but I’m not a wishful thinker.

I have a framework for looking critically at multiple projects at once.

Our venture, CanaGlobal has four main parts of our growth ecosystem, each focused on solving problems for faith-driven investors and founders.

- Venture Studio
- Entrepreneur Sch...

Here's a message to all faith driven founders.

Don’t come to us because you want funding.

You won’t get it.

Instead, come to us because you want help growing your Kingdom venture.

It’s what we do in our e-school and venture studio. Learn what “B” school doesn’t teach you!

We grow first.
We fund ...

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.

For every faith-driven founder scoping out new territory — what you allow yourself to see, will make or break you.

#1 Seeing the opportunities.

If this is a God assignment, something He has called you to do, you’ll see what God sees, the opportunity to solve a great problem.

God will send you wit...
