You know what nobody tells you about starting a business? The first year is brutal. Not because building a business is impossibly difficult, but because new entrepreneurs make the same devastating mistakes over and over again—mistakes that could easily be avoided if someone just warned them in advance. I’ve watched hundreds of new entrepreneurs launch
You know what I’ve noticed after years of studying successful people and working with entrepreneurs, business owners, and high achievers? The habits that actually separate successful people from everyone else are not the ones you read about in most success books. They’re not waking up at 5 AM, or meditating for an hour, or reading
Background I once met a man who had everything people usually dream about — a big house, flashy cars, and a thriving business. On the outside, he looked successful, but in private, he admitted he was restless. His relationships were strained, his peace was gone, and he said, “I feel empty inside. I chased wealth,

Background I once spoke with an aspiring entrepreneur who had several business ideas. One day it was fashion, the next it was tech, and another time it was agriculture. He was overwhelmed because he didn’t know which idea—if any—was really from God. This is a common struggle. Many Christians desire to build businesses, but they
Background I remember when I first decided I wanted to grow deeper in prayer.Not just saying words, but truly connecting with God.Not just ticking off a daily task, but feeling His presence in ordinary moments. And what I’ve learned over time is this:Prayer is not about perfection. It’s about consistency, sincerity, and relationship. If you’ve
Background Today I spent time reading Luke 15 — the famous chapter where Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son. It’s a story many of us have heard before, but this time, it hit differently. It made me reflect on life, on how we handle what God gives us, and how easily we can
Background We often hear people say, “I want to grow spiritually” or “I want to be closer to God.”But true spiritual growth is more than just attending church or reading the Bible occasionally. It is about becoming more like Christ every day in love, obedience, and intimacy. Spiritual maturity does not happen overnight. It is
Background You wake up, check emails, rush out, attend meetings, deal with deadlines, and get home late.Before you know it, another day has gone by and your Bible remains unopened. Prayer was a quick whisper. And guilt starts to set in. Friend, if you’ve ever felt like your spiritual life is playing catch-up with your
