529: Faith Over Frustration: 5 Ways to Get Focused and Build Boldly

Ever feel like your focus is slipping and your entrepreneurial vision is getting blurry?

In this episode, I break down the five key pillars that help faith-driven entrepreneurs like you master your focus, align your purpose, and go after the business God has truly called you to build—even when clarity, money, and patience are in short supply.

Listen in for practical strategies to fine-tune your mission, stay joyful on the journey, and build a company that truly makes an impact.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways:

1. Faith Is Your Anchor: Faith-driven entrepreneurship means chasing a vision often bigger than you can see. Comparison, doubt, and impatience can derail you, but trusting the process (even when you can’t see the full picture) is how you stay aligned with your true calling.

2. Joy Over Happiness: Happiness is fleeting, but joy is the steady fuel that keeps you going—especially when challenges hit. Tapping into joy, not just surface-level wins, helps you live and lead on purpose, no matter what’s happening around you.

3. Plan Like a Pro—Then Adapt: God’s plans are strategic and detailed, and yours should be too. Set your plan, work it daily, but know when to pivot as your mission and market evolve; constant improvement and teamwork are the keys to optimal growth.
