Starting a Business God's Way - Part I
If you don’t count the greeting cards, ice scrapers, or Grit newspapers I sold as a child, my first business startup was a car rental agency. After I liquidated that business, I made a commitment to myself to never launch another startup.
If you want to give God a good laugh, tell Him your plans. Since that time, I have been part of at least seven startups!
Since an estimated one million businesses have been started since the COVID pandemic began in 2020, a series on “Starting a Business God’s Way” seems timely.
Proverbs 19:21 teaches, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
The first principle to remember is to follow God’s call and leading rather than your own plan. Then proceed accordingly.
Scripture

In this six-part series, Rick Boxx draws upon his 25+ years of business and consulting experience to lead us down a path that pleases God: Starting a Business God's Way.
