Prayers For Your Business: BECOMING A PERSON OF SUCCESS!

What if success is not about DOING more but rather BECOMING more? What if the next level that you’ve been praying for is in your evolution of becoming the person who’s ready to handle that level of responsibility? 
Oftentimes as High Achieving Christian Entrepreneurs we find ourselves trying to fix our problems by doing more things because that’s what we do! The more you do – the closer we are to success is the thought process. However, we find through several examples in the Bible that the reality is when we become the person who’s ready for a new level of success then the opportunity will present itself. Your next level of opportunity is not in your doing but rather in leveling up your leadership and becoming the person who is ready to carry the next level of assignment. This episode is chalk full of examples on how to walk that out practically and it also includes an activation on “becoming more”. Let’s get into it!
