I used to ask God this question, and it felt a little strange at first: “Why did You give me so much vision?” It reminds me of Superman—he’s got these powerful beams coming out of his eyes, but if he doesn’t control them, he’ll destroy everything. That’s how I’ve felt at times about the things God shows me. It’s powerful, and I can see the potential, but without the proper control and growth, it can lead to chaos.

In my book God Bless The Entrepreneur: The First Decade, I talk about starting a lot of companies. Many of them were born before the full vision had time to develop. I saw the potential, I saw what they could do, but I didn’t give myself enough time to grow. I didn’t give myself enough time to get better in the areas that truly mattered. I value that time now more than ever. These days, I slow down, reflect, and think things through on a different level.

Every week, I create content for social media. It’s part of the rhythm of what I do. I like to go back and watch my own videos and read my posts. But it’s not just for the sake of review—I watch them to see how I can be better. Not just saying it for the sake of saying it, but because I know there’s more in me than I’ve imagined. When I rewatch my teaching videos, I ask myself, “Did I explain this clearly? Did I make this simple enough? Could I have told a better story—either my own or someone else’s?”

I’ve started thinking about the person on the other side of the screen, the one consuming my content. Did they walk away with everything I was trying to communicate? If not, then that means I could’ve done a better job—explaining better, telling the story better, and ultimately, connecting better.

This process of striving to improve is a lifetime mission. It’s the difference between good and great. Good is mediocre. Great is when we reach the fullest potential of the gifts we’ve been given. And this isn’t about comparing ourselves to others; it’s about asking, “How can I get better? How can I be better?” It reminds me of the concept of an audience of one—God. The One who gave us these gifts in the first place.

So, I encourage you: take your time, reflect, and strive for excellence in all that you do. Go back over your work, your projects, and your passions. Make them the best they can be. But in all of that, stay diligent, keep going, and never stop. You’re working for something bigger than yourself.

God Bless The Entrepreneur.
