90% of entrepreneurs are feeling sidelined. They're injured sitting on the sidelines in pain. Mostly alone.  

It's easy to be full of passion and excitement when you first get started.

Christian entrepreneurs, if you are experiencing DREAD in your life ... dreading this or that ... it's because you've misunderstood God's (your Father's) love for you.
