When I first became an entrepreneur, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I grabbed everything—caramel, chocolate, fudge, peppermint—you name it. I wanted to test my hands on everything and see what could produce. Why? Because I had spent most of my life in the restaurant business, working for someone else, making them money. That was all I knew—clocking in, clocking out, and providing for my family. So, when the opportunity came to break free, I went crazy exploring entrepreneurship.

It’s been over a decade now, and though I started with one reason for what I was doing, God has been shaping my heart into something new. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, entrepreneurship is a patient game. But I love it. I wake up excited, even in seasons when there was no money. I just held onto hope.

And I hope you feel that same way, even if you’re in a season of lack. If God has given you a vision through the power of imagination, fall in love with the work. The work will produce in its time if you stay consistent.

But back to my original thought: Why am I doing this?

Money is good. It’s not inherently wrong, and it’s often a byproduct of what we bring to the marketplace. But is money enough? Not for me. It doesn’t have an eternal perspective, and as a believer, eternity is everything. I believe God knew I wouldn’t see this in the beginning; it had to be revealed slowly as I listened and grew.

Many entrepreneurs are motivated to close the wealth gap, and I salute them. That’s a desire of mine, too. But for me, it’s about more than that. The eternal perspective is to give to those preaching the gospel across the world, to be a hand that supports the hands on the ground.

It’s about being a resource for people doing the hard, thankless work in communities—those addressing women’s slavery, mental health, and issues I’ve witnessed firsthand in my family and my life. That’s my why. I want to create businesses that generate billions so I can supply the needs of those doing the work on the ground.

Lord, let Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven.

God Bless The Entrepreneur
