534: Unlocking Purpose: Why Intentional Living Changes Everything

Ever felt like you’re working hard but missing the point?

In this episode, I break down the surprising difference between intention and attention, and why your entrepreneurial results depend on getting this right.

Discover the faith-driven approach that keeps your actions aligned with your true calling and unlocks a deeper, more purposeful impact.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways:

1. Intention vs. Attention: Your results aren't just about where you focus your energy, but about the intentions guiding your actions. I explain why setting your intention—to serve, to align with God’s will—produces the fruit you’re truly after, rather than just chasing outcomes.

2. Aspirations Over Affirmations: Instead of just declaring what you want, learn to shape your desires as aspirations that seek alignment with God’s purpose for your life. This mindset shift keeps your goals from drifting into selfish ambition and grounds your business journey in faith.

3. Make Vision Practical: I share how writing your vision and attaching bold, God-aligned aspirations to it will clarify your path and keep you moving forward, even when you don’t know every step. Be courageous, declare your aspirations out loud, and watch your intention shape your future.
