    3 Lessons to Learn - When Running a Business

    What does it really look like to start and build a business as a Christian?In this episode of Prophets to Profits, Al shares three important lessons every Christian entrepreneur should consider when starting a business: spiritual alignment, financial responsibility, and relationships.1. Spiritual — Get in Line With GodBefore building the business, make sure your life is aligned with God. Seek first His Kingdom and allow your faith to guide your decisions, priorities, and purpose. Your business should serve your calling—not replace your relationship with God.2. Financial — Be Smart With Your MoneyStarting a business often requires sacrifice. Understand the financial realities before you begin, manage your money wisely, and be prepared for the sacrifices that may come along the way. And above all, give to God first and keep Him at the center of your finances.3. Relationships — Put Your Family FirstA successful business isn't worth sacrificing your marriage or your relationship with your children. Your wife and children should never consistently get whatever time is left over after the business takes everything it can. Build your business without losing your family in the process.The goal isn't simply to build a profitable business. It's to build a business God can bless without it costing you the things that matter most.If you're a Christian thinking about starting a business—or you're already an entrepreneur—this conversation offers three areas you should carefully consider before taking the next step.Subscribe to Prophets to Profits for more conversations about faith, business, leadership, money, and entrepreneurship from a Christian perspective.Calling out leaders, Empowered by Truth.

    Now is the Time! Just Go For it!

    When Is It Time to Go For It?How much planning is enough—and when does planning become an excuse for never starting?In this episode of Prophets to the Profits, we explore the difference between wise preparation and endless hesitation. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Jim Rohn, we discuss his famous principle: "A good plan violently executed today is far better than a perfect plan tomorrow."Too many dreams, businesses, ministries, and creative projects never leave the drawing board because people are waiting for perfect timing, perfect conditions, or complete certainty. But perfection is often the enemy of progress.We unpack some of the biggest reasons people fail to start:Fear of failure and rejection.Waiting until they "know everything."Analysis paralysis from too much planning.Fear of making mistakes.Comparing themselves to others.Lack of confidence and fear of success.Believing they need more money, more experience, or more resources before beginning.You'll discover why momentum often comes after taking the first step, not before, and why God frequently reveals the next step only after we act in faith.Whether you're considering starting a business, launching a ministry, writing a book, creating a podcast, or pursuing a dream that's been sitting on the shelf, this conversation will challenge you to stop waiting for perfect conditions and begin moving with the good plan you already have.Because the future doesn't belong to those who endlessly prepare—it belongs to those who faithfully begin.Subscribe to Prophets to the Profits and learn how faith, wisdom, and action work together to turn vision into reality.Calling out leaders, Empowered by Truth. We believe true leadership is resilient—shaped by God’s promises, refined by His process, aligned with His purpose, and empowered by His presence. ✝️If your interested in being featured on the Prophets to the Profits Podcast, reach out to us at P2P@ConEquip.com or at (716) 295-0345 we look forward to hearing from you!
