Be An Entrepreneur Of Your Spirit

What does it mean to be an Entrepreneur of Your Spirit? When you think of an entrepreneur what traits and characteristics come to mind? We all know that an entrepreneur is someone who runs their own business. But what did it take to get that business off the ground?

Entrepreneurs:

They Are Tenacious– Entrepreneurs have a spirit of tenacity and they will let nothing stop them from reaching their goals.

Invest In Themselves– To grow anything you have to invest in it. Effort, time, love are all needed to grow.

Have a Calling/Vision– Entrepreneurs have something in mind they see themselves accomplishing. And they don’t neglect it. They nurture it until it comes to fruition.

Protect Their Business/Vision— Entrepreneurs protect what they have so diligently worked to create.

Not Afraid of Growth—Entrepreneurs are not afraid of growth. Because with growth comes change and the building of something better.

Have Faith/Belief—Entrepreneurs have faith and belief in something bigger than themselves.

Weather the Storm—Entrepreneurs weather the storm. Businesses aren’t built overnight. And there are numerous setbacks along the way. But with each one they continue to push forward. And never give up.

When it comes to your spirit, you want to be just like the entrepreneur! With characteristics that will strengthen you and build your business. The business called “YOU”.

You should be tenacious and go after what God has for you. And let nothing stop you from getting it. Invest in yourself. Give yourself love, time and effort. Nurture the being that is you. Follow the calling that God has for you. Don’t neglect it. Following the path God has for you brings such happiness and peace.

Once you’ve found what God has for you, protect it. There will be many opinions, beliefs, etc...for what people want for your life. But you have to protect and nurture the seed that God has planted within you. Don’t be afraid of growth. Growth does not come without some pain and change. And you have to be unafraid of both.

And lastly you have to weather the storm. You’ve already gone through plenty and long as you keep living there inevitably will be more. And with each you’ll continue to grow and get stronger if you just keep going and never give up.
